Obama, the choice of gushing useful idiots

 

Rich Terrell

2015: Carter worse than Obama? At least Carter didn't fib Plus Obama was vindictive in the extreme.

Obama’s the first who thinks the way to more power is to inflict pain on ordinary people.  . . . "The move to barricade the World War II memorial reveals the mentality of a tin-pot dictator. The limited government shutdown did not need to affect the memorial because it is open 24 hours, without gates and often without guards.

. . . “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting,” a Park Service ranger told The Washington Times.

"The ranger cited the order to close the parking lot at George Washington’s home in Mount Vernon so visitors couldn’t use it. The cheap trick captured the contrast between a revered president and the current one.

"I’ve been saying for a while that there is no bottom to Obama. He’s not just ruthless. He’s without scruples and honor."

Resist Wokism

 The Postil  "Until recently, the word “woke” seemed to belong to vocabulary reserved for American campuses, and really only for the most radical among them. It referred to a particularly active fringe of American students believing themselves to be in a crusade for social justice and more particularly concerned with questions of “race” and “gender,” and who were determined, in a way, to carry out a definitive lawsuit against the Western world, and more particularly, against the white man who incarnated in himself all his abjectness. This movement was recognized for its extremism, and even, for its fanaticism, being convinced that it had, and still has, a monopoly on the true, the just and the good. Barack Obama, in 2019, had warned the students claiming this: he could see that the claim they had to be awake, in front of a sleeping mass, or enlightened, in front of a people deep in the darkness from the past, could only increase tensions in an already very polarized society. A man of the left, to be sure, Obama nevertheless sought to remind these young minds that human nature is murky, and that social conflict cannot be reduced to a fight between good and evil.

"In some respects, we see in Wokism the new wave of the movement associated with political correctness, which from the 1980s wanted to decolonize the American university and its knowledge by getting rid of the figure of the Dead White Male. Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Shakespeare and so many others had all to be sent packing; their overwhelming presence had contributed to the marginalization of minority knowledge and perspectives, from which it would be possible to lead an epistemological and political revolution against Western civilization. A new relationship with the world had to be imposed."  . . . More...

About The Postil Magazine; "We seek to feed the mind with good ideas, in that good ideas are expressions of a celebratory soul. The West needs reseeding with good ideas because it is in the process of losing its soul. There is a heavy pall of cultural fatigue smothering the West. It is a true Dark Age, where wisdom is confused with information, truth is problematized as spin, faith is ridiculed as superstition, language is tightly controlled, and reason is shouted down by weaponized emotion. We recognize that human beings cannot live without ideals, without transcendence, without truth. In effect, there can be no humanity without God."

Kamala -"I'm talking"- Harris Just Demonstrated, Once Again, How Clueless She Is About Americans

RedState  "Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have very strange views of Americans.

"It’s hard to pick from among the odd, racist views that Biden has expressed over the years. But perhaps one of the worst was when he was asked about slavery and reparations, and responded that parents (implying black parents) didn’t know how to raise their children, that they needed to keep the record player on at night." . . .

. . . "Kamala Harris refuses to say if she would agree to voter ID. But, she seemed to be trying to come up with some other way to ding voter ID requirements — when she tripped all over her own perceptions of rural Americans. Listen as she explains that it’s “almost impossible” for rural Americans to photocopy their IDs.". . . 

Her statement met with much derision:

Hi, I live on top of a mountain on the WV/VA border and I can photocopy my ID. I mean I do it while moonshining White Lightning while dueling banjos play in the background but I can still do it.

Or POSSIBLE to prove who they are. Man, how do #RuralAmericans get by doing business with telegraph and horse and buggy these days? All while waiting for the tech to show up to make sure the tractor and planter runs without driver input I guess? Or while they clean their guns? hmm

It’s true. I just moved from a rural town and the only photocopier we had was an old Amish man named Malaki who would produce a sketch on parchment paper in exchange for three bushels of hay and two ears of corn.

Kamala Harris: The last Democrat holdout arguing against voter I.D.  "Democrats, even the crazy ones such as Stacey Abrams, have backed away from their call for zero photo I.D. in order to vote. Their argument that black people are incapable of getting I.D. is essentially racist. More important, from their point of view, the voters are squarely are not in their tree. Voter I.D. is a common-sense measure practiced in all civilized countries and voter polls support it. They still want to win in 2022, so they've moved away from that stance like a bad smell from a backed-up sewer.". . . 

Resisting The Left's Push To Balkanize America

 American Thinker  "Today, though, when Dr. King’s words calling for a color-blind America are considered racist, we have surely lost our way. This is both frightening and destructive.

"The Democrats’ divisions, of course, go deeper than race, with people divided by sex, sexuality, and disability, among other things. This too is dangerous. Over one hundred years ago, in 1915, Teddy Roosevelt stated that America cannot become a hyphenated nation: “There is no room in this country for a hyphenated Americanism.”

"While Roosevelt was speaking then of those claiming to be Irish-American, Italian-American, or Catholic-American, he saw how dangerous it was for Americans to categorize themselves by race, ethnicity, religion, and color. Add in gender and sexuality and the divisions begin to run very deep.

. . . "We must not let Lincoln’s warning or Khrushchev’s boast prove correct. While some Americans may be Lenin’s famous “useful idiots,” our enemies are no fools. They profit from, and therefore help foment, our dissension. A divided nation falls more easily than a unified one and a democracy must die when it breaks into fighting tribal factions. Our enemies know this. Meanwhile...Dr. King and Dr. Graham weep."

Democrat leaders are blaming White people, capitalism for their own failures

But there's one indisputable fact that's as certain as the sun rising in the morning and politicians spending more money: Progressives are almost always guilty of doing exactly what they accuse their opponents of doing.

. . . "The biggest lie that has been repeated ad nauseam by the left over the past eighteen months is that this country is "systemically racist."  Enter Rep. Cori Bush (Marxist-Mo.), arguably the most vile, racist lunatic in the United States Congress.  (Actually, it's probably a six-way tie, as the other five members of the so-called "Squad" are equally repugnant.)  Bush solidified her spot as a top America-hater and racist when she posted a series of disgusting tweets over the July 4 weekend.  A prime example was her ludicrous assertion that blacks are still not free in America.

"When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom," she ranted, "remember this: the freedom they're referring to is for white people.  This land is stolen land and Black people still aren't free."

That may come as a surprise to the likes of Barry and Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, LeBron James, Don Lemon, et al., all of whom are fabulously wealthy and idolized by millions of people from all races.  But since all of them are "woke," you won't hear even a whisper of dissent directed at Rep. Bush.  In fact, they're likely to agree with her.  Then they'll make lucrative donations to Black Lives Matter, allowing the founder to purchase a few more luxury homes.  Not bad for a Marxist who lives in a slave state. 

"But Rep. Bush was far from being done.  Though no name was mentioned, she next targeted Tucker Carlson.

Thousands of Teachers Vow To Defy State Bans on Critical Race Theory

Tony Branco

 Free Beacon

Leftist groups and teachers' unions support the radical curriculum

"Thousands of teachers are pledging to teach critical race theory in the face of state laws seeking to ban it from classrooms.

"More than 5,000 educators have signed the Zinn Education Project’s "Pledge to Teach the Truth" since June 21. In the letter, the leftist education group claims the United States was founded on "structural racism and oppression"—tenets of the Marxist-based ideology called critical race theory.

" 'We, the undersigned educators, refuse to lie to young people about U.S. history and current events—regardless of the law," the pledge reads.

"Legislatures in several states have passed bills to restrict educators from teaching critical race theory to students. Florida’s education board outright banned teachers from using material from the New York Times’s 1619 Project. Teachers in Idaho are banned from teaching that any race or sex is inherently inferior or superior to another. And Rep. Glenn Grothman (R., Wis.) introduced a bill in the House that would prohibit teachers and students in the District of Columbia from making confessions about inherent racism based on skin color." . . ."

The Zinn Education Project is not alone in its crusade. Two of the nation’s top teachers’ unions have pledged millions of dollars to advance critical race theory in the K-12 classroom. The National Education Association, the country's largest teachers' union, voted to spend $127,600 advancing critical race theory at its annual conference last week. The American Federation of Teachers promised $2.5 million to fund lawsuits against critical race theory bans.

The Credo of the Catholic Democrats

The American Spectator

They issue a declaration of independence from Church teaching.

The boldness of the heretics grows in proportion to the timidity of the bishops. By not controlling their own sacraments, the bishops have allowed the enemies of the Church to control them. Even the supposedly “conservative” bishops have no intention of withholding Communion from these defiant pols.

"Almost 60 Catholic Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives recently released a statement declaring their “principles.” The statement is a classic illustration of modern liberalism’s one-sided conception of church-state relations: the church should never lecture the state, but the state is free to lecture the church. The statement is also a snapshot of the pitiful imbalance of power and confusion in the Catholic Church: heretics, far from fearing clerics, feel emboldened to instruct bishops on what they can and cannot do.

"Enjoying the protection of the media and exploiting the divisions in the Church, heretical Catholic politicians can grandstand with impunity. Congressman Ted Lieu’s (D-Calif.) hotdogging tweet to the bishops captures the mood of the moment:

. . . "So it is not entirely clear why those 60 Catholic Democrats even needed to issue their petulant statement. They are pushing on an open door. The statement is notable only for its arrogance. They, of course, invoke the “separation of church and state” before dictating to the bishops how they should interpret canon law and Eucharistic theology. The point of the statement is: Don’t tell us how to do our jobs, but listen up as we tell you how to do yours. One of the more ludicrous lines in the statement is this: “To pursue a blanket denial of the Holy Eucharist to certain elected officials would indeed grieve the Holy Spirit and deny the evolution of that individual, a Christian person who is never perfect, but living in the struggle to get there.” These Democrats claim an expertise on what will “grieve the Holy Spirit,” but they see nothing grievous in their support for hundreds of thousands of abortions a year.". . . 

Remember when Lieu and Candace Evans faced off in a committee hearing?

Larry Hampton comment:  She owned Nadler when he falsely accused her of calling Lieu stupid. Of course, he was being stupid playing a comment out of context, but I digress. She ate Lieu’s and Nadler’s lunch specifically and the entire Democratic Party in general. She was nervous as hell and who wouldn’t be? Didn’t matter, she still ate their breakfast lunch and supper! WTG Candice!!

The Real Threats to Our Democracy

Conrad Black

Electoral shenanigans and the abdication of judicial responsibility are the real threats to our democracy. Let the audits proceed.

Hiding the vote count from us all

"In the Wall Street Journal of June 10, Peggy Noonan captured the kernel of the crisis of national division that afflicts America: Donald Trump and opposed perceptions of last year’s presidential election. Equitable person though Noonan is, she qualifies as a Trump-hater, whose invective against Trump has only escalated over time.

"Noonan’s premise today is that any question about the 2016 presidential election is unfounded conspiracism, but that suspicion is growing, spread by “the Trump underworld—the operatives, grifters, and media figures around him  . . .  This lessens our faith in our systems   . . . it leaves the GOP with an untreated cancer.” She holds that “QAnon is important” in propagating this fraud. She thinks that anyone who wasn’t appalled by the storming of the Capitol on January 6 has given up on democracy. Lingering concern about the fairness of the result is in itself an assault upon democracy. “The breaching of the Capitol happened because of a conspiracy theory: that the election was actually won by Mr. Trump but stolen from him by bad people.”

"She makes no allowance for exactly the opposite view: that there is ample evidence that Trump was sandbagged in rigged voting and vote-counting in only six states, stonewalled by the courts, and defamed by a unanimous national political media: the courts couldn’t face overturning the election, and the media can’t accept the idea that it was a tainted election. I agree with her that “the only thing that can stop” (the cancer that supposedly afflicts the GOP, even if it is in fact benign righteousness) “is true facts independently developed and presented with respect and receipts.” 

"This is correct but the analysis of the causes of the current dangerous division in the country’s political life must start—not with the invasion of the Capitol, which has already been investigated and yields nothing damaging to Trump—but with a serious analysis of the election results in six states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The election went off without a hint of a problem in 44 states. In the six states named there were changes to voting and vote-counting rules adopted supposedly to respond to the difficulties imposed by the pandemic and often in constitutionally questionable ways.
