My fear of the American left, even at this late stage of life

Beginning in 2008, first as the "Squeaky Wheel" when Obama was nominated by the Democrat Party over fear of this party and what it had become. This fear has only worsened as I watched the vindictiveness of more and more Democrats and their effect on entertainment and news media along with academics, even into school curricula.
I'm almost seventy-nine at this posting, have lived through blackouts, air raid sirens, the Red Scare and the sixties - fearful times all. But those threats were from mostly without and capable of being stood against; now the evil is entrenched within this nation and made manifest in today's Democrats and those such as whatever Bernie Sanders is. Even the entertainment and news we watch force-feeds this anti-American cancer into our very culture.
For those reasons and more this statement has appeared at the right sidebar of the Tunnel Wall for over ten years and I have no plans as yet to remove it.  The Tunnel Dweller

From 2008: The Tunnel Wall blog  "Many of us fear the path America is being led down by our government, media and educational institutions and want to be sure they are watched fervently. It was a revelation to actually see how many Democrat elected officials have supported this massive swing to the left. One would have thought that, though liberal, they valued our free market system and
economic freedoms. It has become hard to believe the US is a right-of-center nation (as surveys claim) when the culture and its factions exert such a leftward pull on our politicians. On TV programs such as "Law and Order"- to name just one - leftist philosophies are promoted while conservative ones are debunked. Mainstream news programs are fountains of anti-Republican, -conservative propaganda.

"Foremost in memory is the shabby treatment meted out to President Bush at White House press conferences, press dinners and Hollywood functions. And of course we all know how Republicans and conservatives are the butt of late-night talk-show jokes.

"Even past noble causes and their current leaders have become withered, almost comical clones of their past heroes. Look at the regression from Dr. King to Al Sharpton. During those terrible days of black struggle to be treated as American citizens, we longed for the day an African-American could be elected president. Who wouldn't while seeing what happened to African-Americans as they merely tried to live life as others did by eating at a lunch counter or being welcome in all public places? Joan Baez and other activists would place their bodies between black children and their object-throwing taunters as they entered schools and we were stirred. We felt the day this nation elected a black President would show America had truly become America.

"But not this president; not Barack Obama.

"We envisioned a black president who would govern as an American who loved this country. One who loved America for her exceptional-ness; for having the character to overcome her worst elements; for all her economic strength that it was now possible for everyone to grasp the opportunity to share.


"But now we have some ominous dots to connect and a picture takes shape: William Ayres and his causes; Rev. Wright, Father Pfleger, Van Jones*, all preaching their hateful philosophies. We saw Cuban flags and pictures of Che Guevara on walls of Obama campaign offices; red Soviet flags flying over crowds in post-election rallies. We heard the socialist views spoken to Joe the Plumber and this administration's disdain for private enterprise. Then there is the continual ignorance displayed on foreign affairs along with a complete reversal of allies and enemies.

"The vast crowds of equally ignorant sycophants crying out in ecstasy and adoration for Barack Obama was not reassuring.

"Barack Obama's presidency has lifted a rock off the Democrat Party and revealed some ominous qualities that had long been off of our collective radar; that there are many Rev. Wrights and Bill Ayers sitting in Congress. We fear the effect these people have on our culture and nation and feel we must not let anything they do or say go unnoticed."

* Add to the above list Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Maxine Waters, Hillary Clinton supporters, Kamala Harris, and well, all Democrats you saw wearing matching outfits, remaining seated at President Trump's State of the Union address. And oh, did I mention Hillary Clinton?. TD
