Virtually every liberal or leftist viewpoint, from no need for voter ID, to the porous southern border, to Critical Race theory, to restrictions on the First Amendment is harmful to society. Their prolonged and questionable badgering related to COVID-19, and their willingness to overlook street violence, further exacerbates the perception that the Left loves the idea of total authority and of imposing its will on all of us, forevermore.
Suffer the Children
Is it okay to teach children that there are more than 50 genders? Do you believe as leftists do, for example, that children may choose their gender? Do you think that cross-dressers should be reading to children at story hour? Should mathematics, the sciences, and other core academic disciplines be taught to accommodate ‘politically diverse’ points of view? Should entire college curricula be redesigned because most of the great works of literature throughout history have been written by white males?
Are you upset when conservative speakers on campus are disrupted from speaking, or are banned altogether from campus? Should colleges set up safe spaces? Are you fine with colleges holding separate graduation exercises and celebrations for different ethnic minorities? Curiously, can a university promise students an unbiased education when 97% of college professors’ political donations go to Democrats? Should all student loan debt be exonerated?
Is late trimester abortion acceptable? After a baby is born, is it the right of the mother and the doctor to choose whether or not that person will continue to live? Should Medicare be provided for all and, if so, how do you pay for it? Are illegal immigrants to be given free healthcare the moment they cross the border, as all Democrat presidential contenders have stated on live television? Indeed, should we have open borders, and let in anybody who wants to come here? Are sanctuary cities a good idea, and do they support the lives and aspirations of actual American citizens?
Civility and Tolerance
When newspaper headlines scream about gun violence, is wringing your hands over the issue any solace for families in Chicago or Baltimore ghetto communities who experience gun violence on a daily basis? Do you care about the issue, or do you only get riled up when the mainstream media stokes your emotions?
Tell me, is virtue signaling an acceptable form of social participation, or should one actually take appropriate, non-violent action to address a wrong? Is a comment made by a celebrity – or a politician, for that matter – 30 or 40 years ago enough to cancel his or her career? Is calling others racist acceptable when, in your own heart, you know that you are biased at times against this group or that?
Is the Marxist ideology of BLM acceptable to you? Are the goals and violent tactics of BLM and Antifa acceptable to you? If they’re proud of what they stand for, and forthright in their actions, why do Antifa members wear ski masks? Appearing in selected cities in time to cause trouble, how many of them actually hold jobs? How many pay for their transportation and housing costs?
If they do not pay for themselves, who, pray tell, is paying? Most curiously, why do they often go after the most vulnerable people they can find in any gathering? Is it okay when law enforcement stands down in the face of violence committed by those on the left?
A Meeting of the Minds?
The Left embraces mass insanity and it’s getting more absurd by the week. The COVID-related bullying of the several months has given us all a taste of what socialism would be like. What’s more, they don’t understand the magnitude and ramifications of many of their political and social views — the Left’s agenda, if allowed to proceed, will destroy our civilization in less than a few years.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men [and women] were free.” ~Ronald Reagan
It would be highly desirable to be able to reach consensus on some issues with those on the Left, however recent developments have indicated that that would be cultural and national suicide.
