The Left is always babbling about their ‘values,’ their superior moral principles. Their pomposity can be seen everywhere in government, certainly in academic circles, and in the media, especially in front of a camera. Many people who know Hillary Clinton have written that she actually morphs when any camera is turned on. That must be a sight to see.
They all emphasize that their values are not Republican values and pretend they have a line in the sand. OK, let’s look at their values and their line in the sand. Let’s find out where their line in the sand actually is, or if there even is one.
According to DemocraticPartyBeliefs, the Democrat core values include:
Equality: All citizens should be treated equally under the law, regardless of race, gender, religion or sexual orientation.
Really? The Left’s brand of ‘equality’ is systemic racism. The racism they accuse the Republicans of perpetrating every day, yet where do we hear the constant drone of whiteness, white supremacy, or white privilege? Who preaches white guilt, tears down statues of our founders, and sells Critical Race Theory summed up by declaring that if you are white, you are racist, and if you are black, you are oppressed?
If you’re Black and vote Republican, “you ain’t Black.” It sounds to me like race is everything to a Democrat and always has been.
Liberty: Everyone has the right to freedom of speech and expression as well as other civil liberties such as the right to privacy and religious beliefs.
Well, everyone except the political opposition. We can easily talk about the Left’s control of social media, the banning of accounts that don’t comply with their ‘values’ or accusing pundits of crimes so as to get them off the air. We can also discuss Biden’s DOJ attacking Catholics in their homes in the middle of the night and other Christians for their stand on abortion. But let’s introduce Biden’s ‘For the People Act’. An act Biden wants to see become law. This proposal would eliminate private ‘outside voices’ (citizens) from having any input or, plainly, silence any opposition or support either monetarily or politically.
We could also demonstrate the Left’s hostility toward Christianity by removing Bibles from libraries and classrooms and replacing them with explicit handbooks on sex—their opposition to students wearing shirts expressing their Christian beliefs, on and on.
Is there anyone who does not believe that the 2nd Amendment is a bane to the Democrat mind and that self-defense is also looked down upon?
Popular Sovereignty: The power of a nation lies with its people who are free to choose their own leaders through democratic elections that represent their interests fairly and accurately.
Volumes have been written about the freedom or privilege of ‘choosing their own leaders’ through democratic elections. Nevertheless, our elections of late have definitely been democratic—that is, Democratic Party elections. Elections in which the counting is halted until their computer figures out how many votes they need to win, and after the pause, observing leads in several states or key precincts switched. In one state, the counting was halted until baskets of ballots were pulled from underneath cloth-covered tables after observers left. In other states, elections saw operatives drive trucks filled with ballots up to tally centers in the middle of the night. And let’s not forget about, not Election Day, but Election Season, where voting begins almost two months prior and where there are as many as fifteen states that DO NOT require an ID to cast a ballot.
There wasn’t any lack of proof for election fraud; there was a lack of responsible people, including our own Supreme Court, with the guts to hear the evidence. They did not even look at the cases—they just discarded them. The cost was too high.
To say voters’ interests were represented fairly and accurately is a joke. I’m sure no one voted for 8 million migrants to enter the country illegally, gasoline to cost $5–$6 per gallon, or groceries to cost 20% more than just a few short years ago
In many areas of the country, Democrats whipped voters to a frenzy, telling them that democracy would be destroyed if they voted for Trump. Well, democracy has been destroyed, and Trump wasn’t anywhere near the White House. Who sent the FBI to people’s homes in the middle of the night because they are anti-abortion? Who sent innocent citizens to prison without trial because they responded to an invitation to come into the Capitol?
What will happen in 2024 is anyone’s guess. Democrats know they cannot afford to lose the 2024 election. Going down in defeat means only one thing—indictments! They will not allow that to happen and will do anything, and I mean anything, to prevent that from occurring.
Participation & Inclusion: Citizens should actively participate in politics by voting, attending public meetings, engaging with elected officials, etc., while marginalized groups should also be included in decision-making processes at all levels of government.
This is an interesting one. Democrats love participation, but only in approval. Quite a few school board meetings were adjourned, with many parents targeted for harassment and prosecution. The Left is very sensitive. They don’t seem to know the difference between venting anger and making threats. Parents don’t take it well when they learn that schools are guiding their kids into a degenerate lifestyle or when a boy wearing a skirt rapes their daughter in the girl’s bathroom and the school tries to hide it from them. Nevertheless, the DOJ targets the parents as domestic terrorists.
Rule of Law: Laws apply equally across society without exception, protecting citizens from arbitrary decisions made by those in power.
This is one of those Democrat precepts that they ignore on an hourly basis. Anyone who watches or reads the news needs no illustration that law and order is out the window. We are becoming a police state, but only the political opposition needs to be concerned. Look at the Democrat response to the millions of illegal aliens entering our country, drowning towns and cities in chaos…crickets. I am beginning to feel that the Left wants a civil war as an excuse to shoot the opposition. Yes, it’s that bad.
Transparency: Public information about government activities should be readily available so that citizens can hold their representatives accountable for their actions.
I love this one. Watch any congressional hearing, especially listen to our esteemed Attorney General or our DHS Secretary, Mayorkas. Questions don’t get answered because they don’t have the information in front of them, but they will get back to them.
The conclusion to all this is that the Left only cares about money and power. The Democrats have no line in the sand for morality or decency. They believe a new world order is coming, and they want a piece of the action. They don’t care if America falls. They don’t care about you or me. They hate the country anyway. If they have to write long speeches or comprehensive documents on slick websites explaining their stand on issues, fine. But remember, they don’t believe any of it. They prove it every day. They have goals, and they don’t care how they achieve them. Don’t listen to what they say; watch what they do.
A crooked line in the sand is no line in the sand at all.
