Items That Should Interest 2

The socialist Democrats detest our nation's Constitution because it infringes on things they want to do.  They seem to not understand that is its exact purpose.  The Constitution protects the rights of all citizens not just those the Democrats want to protect.  Quote:

"Liberals weren’t always so fearful of the ways that the Constitution protects minority interests from majority rule. For decades, liberals celebrated the power of the Constitution and an unelected Supreme Court to expand civil rights and individual liberties in the face of majority opinion. Voters did not enact nationwide school desegregation, the end of prayer in public schools, sweeping abortion rights, expanded protection for criminal suspects or gay marriage. The federal bench was the go-to venue to win these fights.  If the right now has the power to reshape the federal bench and perhaps reverse some of these decisions, that has come at least in part because of a decadelong failure on the part of Democrats to win at the ballot box."  https://www.responseaction.com/Article/democrats-fear-constitution

It would be really nice if we had Democrats in office today the caliber of this great lady.  Quote: "With the constant cries for impeachment that swirl around Donald J. Trump, it is incumbent upon us to remember the wise and reasoned words of Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, who on July 25, 1974 gave an eloquent and dispassionate speech concerning the impeachment hearings against then-president Richard M. Nixon. It behooves us all to bear in mind Jordan's words today.  Even though she reminds the nation that in 1787, when the Constitution was completed, African-Americans like herself were "left out," she also explains that "through the process of amendment, interpretation and court decision," she was finally and irrevocably included in "we, the people." Thus, she firmly asserts that her "faith in the Constitution is whole, it is complete, it is total."  She refuses to "be an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction of the Constitution" as it concerns "those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men."  And,  "Barbara Jordan's speech drew a contrast between political motivations and high crimes and misdemeanors.  It cannot be emphasized enough that any notion of impeachment must proceed within the confines of the latter concept. Of Jordan, it was said that "[t]here was simply something about her that made [one] proud to be a part of the country that produced her."  We would be wise to pay attention to her acumen and perspicacity."     https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/08/barbara_jordan_on_impeachment.

It may not seem so but I dislike exposing so much bad stuff about the political left.  But the facts that give rise to their array of dishonest and destructive antics makes it impossible to avoid all of them.  Many things I run across are not shared.  This piece does a good job of putting their senseless bad behavior into perspective.    https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/07/29/the-treasonous-democratic-party/

The socialist Democrat party has seemingly endorsed the notion of a guaranteed income for all Americans.  They have no idea how to pay for it but it is a sound good vote getter for those who do not like to work for a living.  This item explores the disaster it would be if ever implemented. Quote: "A generous Chicago alderman has proposed giving people a guaranteed income of $500 per month. A would-be Democratic presidential candidate wants to up the monthly stipend to $1,000. “The growth of the welfare state,” says CNN, “is turning us into a land where many expect, and see no stigma attached to, drawing regular financial support from the federal government.” Even some conservatives have succumbed to the concept of guaranteed income, reports Investor’s Business Daily. They dream of “eliminating the dozens of welfare programs at the federal, state and city levels and replacing them with one big check.” Is it a good idea? Democrats Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez think it’s a great idea, as do entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. How would they pay for it? By redistributing income, naturally. First, tax the rich. Then burden corporations with a value-added tax as they do in Europe. Proponents conveniently overlook the fact that Europe is reeling under the burden of the Nanny State. “The simplest way in which the advanced welfare state will lose attractiveness,” says Charles Murray, author of Coming Apart, “is the looming bankruptcy of the European welfare states.” Unfortunately, many Americans have bought into the belief that poverty can be eliminated by throwing money at it. What else could account for the popularity of Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez? There is no doubt about it—people enjoy receiving free stuff. To believe this way is to fall for the leftist hoax that the answer to all our problems is bigger government enforcing a comprehensive redistribution of resources."    https://eaglerising.com/61163/a-guaranteed-income-is-the-guarantor-of-social-collapse/

According to Tom Perez, Chairman of the Democrat National Committee, this woman is the new voice of the Democrat Party.  He may want to reconsider.  Quote: "Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has said a lot of stupid things. She claimed that Israel was occupying Palestine and, when pressed, admitted she did not know what she was talking about. She can't differentiate between socialism and Democratic socialism. She said she is working to flip a congressional seat "red" in November. She admitted that she can't win by having to persuade people her ideology is the best possible option. Heck, she even thought that a recent parody video that mocked her was a serious attempt to deceive voters."  However idiotic those things are this takes the cake.  She actually claims these to be facts: "The GOP is: - weak on fighting for working class Americans - weak on crime - weak on equal rights - weak on national security - weak on rejecting racism - weak on moral courage - weak on family values. So yeah, I’d say this a representative choice of their values."   This woman is a dunce if she actually believes Republicans are weak in these areas. The things she cites actually describe what she and her Socialist Democrat friends in government, media, academia and crony capitalists really believe. Unbelievable.  https://twitter.com/Ocasio2018/status/1022569265067683841?   Democrats are in serious search of something but know not what it is.  She has no idea what she is talking about, yet she convinced a bunch of uninformed idiots to vote for her. Truly amazing...
