What Leftists Stand For

What Leftists Stand For:
"Historically, both sides of the political spectrum in America have supported the rule of law and the Constitution.  
Additionally, other than the Democrats' longstanding racist oppression of black people, the positions held by both sides were generally differences that people of goodwill could hold.  
For example, good people can disagree on just what the tax rates should be.
Since Roe v. Wade, that has changed, and the change has accelerated rapidly in the last eight years.  
The left in America has openly embraced evil, rejected the rule of law, and denied that Americans they disagree with have constitutional rights.
That's why 2016 was a Flight 93 election: the political fight in America is no longer among people of good will, but between evil fascists and the American people.  
Most of the people who vote for the Democrats have no idea what the left actually stands for due to the actions of the media, who hide the truth.
Here are some of the evils perpetrated or supported by large numbers of leftists so you can convince those Democrat voters to switch sides:
  1. They don't care that cheap illegal labor hurts black people by denying them jobs.
  1. They don't care that their fake climate crisis will drive up energy costs and hurt the poor, who are disproportionately people of color.
  1. They declare that giving inner-city black parents the choice of sending their kids to a school where they will get a good education is "racist."
  1. They don't care that thousands of blacks are shot each year in Democratic-run cities.
  1. They deny witness reports by black crime victims that show that blacks are more likely to commit crimes, though most blacks are law-abiding, and demand that blacks be incarcerated at the same rate as all other groups, ensuring that blacks continue to suffer from black-on-black crime.
  1. They want to take money from people who never owned slaves and give it to people who never were slaves.
  1. They refuse to accept any election result that doesn't favor them.
  1. They hate the police and demand that cops be perfect or face jail time.
...This in turn tells us why we have to fight and why, even though the Republicans have failed us many times, letting the Democrats take over the House or the Senate, or both, would be a disaster of unparalleled magnitude..."

Poll: Nearly 2 Out of 3 Voters Support Reducing Legal Immigration to U.S. | Breitbart

Poll: Nearly 2 Out of 3 Voters Support Reducing Legal Immigration to U.S. | Breitbart
See the source image"Nearly two out of three American voters say they support President Trump’s plan to reduce overall legal immigration levels in the United States, whereby currently more than 1.5 million legal immigrants arrive annually.
In a new poll by Harvard-Harris polling, about 66 percent of voters — or nearly two out of three — said they support a plan by the Trump administration to almost cut legal immigration in half by ending the process known as “chain migration,” as well as the Diversity Visa Lottery, and building a border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The deal would couple the wage-boosting relief for American citizens with allowing only illegal aliens enrolled in the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to stay in the U.S. There are nearly 800,000 DACA illegal aliens.
...Since 2005, chain migration has allowed 9.3 million foreign nationals to resettle in the U.S. for no other reason than they had extended family members already living in the country. This huge inflow outpaces two years of American births, which amount to roughly four million babies every year..."

Parents Stand Up for Children in ‘Sex Ed Sit Out’ | Intellectual Takeout

Parents Stand Up for Children in ‘Sex Ed Sit Out’ | Intellectual Takeout:
"Parents across the country pulled their children out of public schools on Monday for the “Sex Ed Sit Out”—a grassroots awakening of frustrated parents who are sick of the sexualization of children in their taxpayer-funded schools.
See the source imageThe Sex Ed Sit Out was conceived by Elizabeth Johnston, who blogs at Activist Mommy, and other moms on social media who are concerned about the increasingly graphic, unscientific nature of sex education in public schools.
Parents protested in cities across the United States, as well as in England, Canada, and Australia.
In solidarity with the event, parents in Northern Virginia held a conference on Saturday on the radical changes in sex education and how schools deliberately deceive parents.
A common note struck at the conference was the anti-science approach of the Fairfax County sex ed curriculum.
Students are taught that they weren’t really born male or female—rather, a sex was assigned to them at birth by a delivery room doctor who might have gotten it wrong.
In fact, sex ed curriculum advisers recently announced that “biological sex is essentially meaningless,” and the phrase is being scrubbed from all lessons and replaced by the phrase “sex assigned at birth.”
It’s a little sexual-revolutionary agitprop to keep the youngsters off balance..."

The Changes That Made California Become a Liberal Fiasco: "A Basket Case

Image result for Flicker Commons images California Flag“California’s de facto status as a one-party state lies at the heart of its poverty problem,” wrote Kerry Jackson, the Pacific Research Institute’s fellow in California studies. “With a permanent majority in the state Senate and the Assembly, a prolonged dominance in the executive branch, and a weak opposition, California Democrats have long been free to indulge blue-state ideology while paying little or no political price. The state’s poverty problem is unlikely to improve while policymakers remain unwilling to unleash the engines of economic prosperity that drove California to its golden years.”"

Confirmed: John Brennan Colluded With Foreign Spies to Defeat TrumpThe American Spectator:

Image result for Flicker Commons images John Brennan"John Brennan’s CIA operated like a branch office of the Hillary campaign, leaking out mentions of this bogus investigation to the press in the hopes of inflicting maximum political damage on Trump. An official in the intelligence community tells TAS that Brennan’s retinue of political radicals didn’t even bother to hide their activism, decorating offices with “Hillary for president cups” and other campaign paraphernalia.
A supporter of the American Communist Party at the height of the Cold War, Brennan brought into the CIA a raft of subversives and gave them plum positions from which to gather and leak political espionage on Trump. He bastardized standards so that these left-wing activists could burrow in and take career positions. Under the patina of that phony professionalism, they could then present their politicized judgments as “non-partisan.”"

"The Counseling and Mental Health Center at the University of Texas at Austin recently launched a new program to help male students “take control over their gender identity and develop a healthy sense of masculinity.”
Treating masculinity as if it were a mental health crisis, “MasculinUT” is organized by the school’s counseling staff and most recently organized a poster series encouraging students to develop a “healthy model of masculinity.”
The program is predicated on a critique of so-called “restrictive masculinity.”
Men, the program argues, suffer when they are told to “act like a man” or when they are encouraged to fulfill traditional gender roles, such as being “successful” or “the breadwinner.”...

Seriously? Facebook Says "Kill Trump, Hang Him, Hunt Him" Page Does Not Violate Community Standards

Seriously? Facebook Says "Kill Trump, Hang Him, Hunt Him" Page Does Not Violate Community Standards:
"Tech Giants Google and Facebook are currently purging conservative content from Facebook and YouTube — They are hiding conservative stories on Google — They are shadow-banning conservative news on all social media.
In February Facebook launched a new algorithm to ensure that conservative news would not spread on the social media platform.

This was after Facebook announced it was losing 50,000,000 user hours a day in the previous quarter.

The algorithm change caused President Donald Trump’s engagement on Facebook posts to plummet a whopping 45%.
In contrast, Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) do not appear to have suffered a comparable decline in Facebook engagement.

Top conservative Facebook pages with daily traffic in the millions have seen 75% to 95% drop in traffic.

Young Cons, Western Journalism, SarahPalin.com, Independent Journal ReviewRight Wing News, and several others have seen dramatic loss in traffic.
...But at the same time Facebook allows hateful pages calling for President Trump’s assassination.
Facebook administrators recently decided the “Kill Trump, Hang Him, Hunt Him” page did not violate community standards.
Unbelievable.

“Anyone who supports Trump – or believes in what you believe – is not welcome here! And you need to leave right now because we won’t serve you!” Piatek claims the staff of The Happiest Hour told him."

How the Greenwashed Liberal Gentry Keep Out the Rabble | The American Conservative
"...Wiener’s bill was aimed at addressing a crisis in his city: the lack of affordable housing. 
Image result for streisand effectToday, the median home price in San Francisco is $1.6 million, about eight times the national median.
...Wiener’s bill would have addressed this problem by partially overriding local zoning restrictions on housing density, specifically on height limits, in areas served by mass transit.
It’s hard to think of a bill more friendly to the masses than that.
Yet Wiener ran into a wall of liberal Democratic opposition—the vice mayor of Beverly Hills was a particularly vocal opponent—and thus the bill died on April 17. 
Why the fierce opposition?
Perhaps it’s because the dominant progressive voices in California are, in fact, regressive.
Image result for streisand effectThat is, they prefer to protect the privileges of the landed—who benefit, of course, from high land prices—as opposed to the aspirations of the landless.
In history, such behavior is nothing new.
Indeed, with historical continuity in mind, urban analysts Joel Kotkin and Fred Siegel back in 2007 coined the term “gentry liberalism” to describe this age-old phenomenon.

His death at the hands of government come from the same people who lecture Americans on how we let people die because we don't have socialized medicine -- a lie -- we provide the best care for the poor through Medicaid.
The British refused to allow his parents to seek treatment in the United States.
Now the same Britons want to kill Alfie Evans, another child whose crime is costing the state to much money for medical treatment.

Andrew Cuomo sent a “cease and desist” letter to federal immigration authorities Wednesday, ordering them to alert state and local police before they attempt any more arrests and demanding they leave some illegal immigrants alone altogether.
He also said he was issuing an executive order banning ICE officers from making arrests at state prisons and jails, and ordered agencies not to ask about immigration status. He was hoping to deny federal authorities information that could lead to future deportations.
“I think it’s time a state stood up to ICE and made this case and let them know that people have rights,” the governor said, accusing the federal government of “stoking terror among law-abiding residents.”
His move puts New York back in stiff competition with California in the battle for the title of the country’s premier sanctuary state — "
