David Horowitz of the Freedom Center was raised a Communist. He rejected Communism in favor of
freedom, and his perspective is always inspiring and insightful. And he knows how to call them [the Progressive left] out. Here’s his short piece on
Front Page Magazine today (I’d bookmark it or email it to yourself for reference when
you anticipate a discussion around the dinner table!):
the Democrats
and their media accomplices have declared all-out war on the Trump White House.
Under the guise of “resistance” – as though the Trump was the head of an
occupying army rather than an elected president - they have set out to destroy
his administration. They are not “sore losers,” as many had surmised when their
hysterical attacks on Trump as an American Hitler began, they are an army of saboteurs bent
on destroying the government the voters preferred. Their general, Barack Obama,
is an unrepentant radical who abused the office of the presidency when he was
in power, and as ex-president is now leading a war to overthrow his successor.
With the
election over, the Democratic Party is now in the hands of the Bernie
Sanders-Tom Perez-Keith Ellison-Barack Obama radical left. Abetted by a corrupt
media, funded by the anti-American billionaire George Soros, egged on by
Obama’s corrupt attorney general, Loretta Lynch, and a collusive press, the
left has launched vile and violent demonstrations in the streets, rancid
witch-hunts in the halls of Congress posing as “confirmation hearings,” and
treasonous intelligence leaks, which have already claimed Trump’s National
Security advisor General Michael Flynn as their victim. Their next target
Attorney General Jeff Sessions is already in their crosshairs, the object of
character assassinations by senators Schumer, Warren, and other Democrats, and
by their disgraced and disgraceful media accomplices.
For none of
this would have been possible without the active collusion of
the Washington Post, the New York Times and the media networks
who have promoted the false narrative of an alleged collusion between the Trump
campaign and the Russians to fix with the election. There is zero evidence of
such collusion but plenty of evidence that Obama and his cohorts have
disregarded the Constitution and the law to spy on reporters they don’t like,
to use the IRS and other government agencies to take down their opponents and
undermine the democratic system.
As I explained
in my book Big Agenda: President
Trump’s Plan to Save America, the source of this civil war mentality is a profound
rejection of the American idea. This is the idea that we are equal citizens
regardless of our origins, and that we are accountable as individuals for what
we do. The left’s creed – identity politics – is an anti-American, racially
charged determination to reject individual accountability and individual
freedom, and to establish in their place group privileges, and racial/gender
hierarchies. These hierarchies are based on the malicious premise that whites,
heterosexuals and males are oppressors and - in the words of the Democratic
platform - America is a society governed by “systemic racism,” which needs to
be fundamentally transformed.
This
collectivist, racial creed is the heart and soul of today’s Democratic Party
and its allies in the mainstream media. It is the inspiration for the war
Democrats have declared on the newly elected government of Donald Trump. In his
inaugural address, Trump addressed the war in uncompromising but thoroughly
American terms. “Through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our
loyalty to each other…. When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no
room for prejudice…. Whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the
same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all
salute the same great American Flag.” This is the American creed, and it is the
voice of the American people who elected Trump in November 2016.
Unfortunately,
it does not seem possible to overstate the case, and Horowitz sums it up.
