If America is Racist – So are the Democrats

By comment

by: Brent Smith at the Common Constitutionalist

Scroll Down for Audio Version

Yesterday, on his radio program, Rush Limbaugh was talking about how many modern progressive leftists have given up trying to “fix” our country. Now, they claim, it must be torn down and rebuilt in the image that the left envisions – a socialist utopia, where one size really does fit all, because everyone is the same … or else.

Evidently, according to an ever-increasing number of leftists, there’s just no saving and no redeeming the United States.

Why exactly does this new breed of leftists feel this way about their own country?

Well, it goes back to the days of slavery. Then after emancipation – Jim Crow, segregation, racism and the Klan.

This they claim is America’s permanent legacy, and one that apparently cannot be erased or otherwise expunged. The only answer is to tear it down and start over.

But this poses a couple of problems for the left – namely, reparations and the democrat party. read more

WND Exclusive – Elizabeth ‘Woodrow’ Warren: The Scariest Candidate

By comment

from Brent Smith for World Net Daily:

Woodrow Wilson

Elizabeth Warren

Of the top tier of candidates vying for the Democratic nomination for president, one may be scarier than the others, and it may not be who you think.

A month or so ago, I wrote that Kamala Harris was rapidly gaining ground, and I thought that she, as a black women, might pose the most problems for Trump.

This may still be true, but it’s not the purpose of this article.

Rather than just speculating on just who might win, I wanted to take a look at who may be the worst, most dangerous choice as president from the left – not who can likely beat Trump, just who would be the most damaging, should he or she win. read more

Don’t Cave on the Constitution

By comment2 Comments

The beginning of the end of the Second Amendment

by: Brent Smith at the Common Constitutionalist

I agree with the President on most things, but I can’t on this.

We’ve been hearing, ad nauseum, that polling suggests that the public supports universal background checks and greater gun restrictions. And we’ve not only been hearing this from democrats, but also from Republicans.

So now I guess we’ve given up on protection and defense of the Constitution and will be governed by the whims of the people and politicians?

It reminds of what the father of the modern progressive movement, president Woodrow Wilson said.  (I hate that guy!) “The Constitution was founded on the law of gravitation. The government was to exist and move by virtue of the efficacy of ‘checks and balances.’ The trouble with the theory is that government is not a machine, but a living thing. No living thing can have its organs offset against each other, as checks, and live.”

This was the beginning of the “living, breathing,” Constitution. That musty old document was fine for its day, but it should not have been built on immovable bedrock. Instead it should be built on sand so that it may move and shift with the changing times.

President Trump and the Republicans have expressed openness to a federal red flag law and for “meaningful” background checks. read more

WND Exclusive – What comes after ‘Medicare for All’?

By comment

from Brent Smith for World Net Daily:

According to leading polls of Democratic primary voters, health care is still one the top issues. And it took center stage, as a new human right, by means of the new progressive socialist tag-team, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, during Tuesday’s Democratic debate.

On night 2, there was not the unbridled enthusiasm for the Sanders-Warren Medicare for All scheme, as Joe Biden threw cold water on it and defended Obamacare. But he appears to be one of only a few. To many of the rest, it’s like Obamacare never existed – like it had no positive effect on “health care” at all.

It didn’t, by the way.

And here we are today. It’s déjà-vu all over again (h/t: Yogi Berra). Almost a decade after Obamacare was signed into law, the issue is still front and center. read more

Wyden Ushers Illegal Alien Across Border

By comment

How is this not illegal? And how is this democrat Senator not under arrest and jailed for this?

from Breitbart:

Mexican Women Have Right to U.S. Healthcare, U.S.-Born Children, Says Democrat Senator

Mexican women have a legal right to U.S. healthcare, and also to birth their children in the United States if they ask for asylum, Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden claimed Saturday. read more

WND Exclusive – Socialists Don’t Understand Cost of Labor

By comment

from Brent Smith for World Net Daily:

How dare the government – any government – set a minimum wage that a business must pay its employees? It’s the pinnacle of arrogance and exactly the strong arm tactics the founders warned us of – a runaway, all-powerful government.

The “Fight for $15” has been circulating for a few years. It seemed to have reached a peak in interest maybe about a year or two ago, but coverage and enthusiasm had fallen off.

Well, evidently, the “Fight for $15” is picking up steam again as the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives passed the Raise the Wage Act, which would make $15 an hour a reality for nearly all American workers by 2025, more than doubling the current national minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. read more

Leo is Not Woke Enough

By comment

Proving once again, that no matter how liberal one is, particularly in Hollywood, there will always be those who are that much more leftist.

from Breitbart:

Woke Fascists Target Leonardo DiCaprio

Oscar-winner Leonardo DiCaprio, who has one of the most successful careers in movies these days, must “start rethinking” his career, according to America’s Woke Fascists.

Yes, that’s right, even Leo can no longer be allowed to choose his own directors and creative partners.

You see, he hasn’t worked with a female director since 1995, and although his collaborative decisions have brought him super stardom, an Oscar, and a canon of work anyone would be proud of, it is time for Leo to do some affirmative-action hiring and work with not-a-straight-white-guy. read more

Podcast – Dalai Lama a Sexist – Mini AOC Gets Doxxed

By comment

by: Brent Smith at the Common Constitutionalist

Each Dalai Lama is believed to be the reincarnation of his predecessor.

But the current one has had to apologize to leftists who were because the 83 year old Buddhist monk apparently offended some feminists.

Mini-AOC sadly is no more as she and her family was recently doxxed by some chronically offended leftists, who don’t care for her satirical impressions of Ocasio-Cortez.

Yes, an 8 year old was threatened with death if she didn’t comply with the radical left. read more

Will Government Ever Extricate Itself from Higher Education?

By comment

No and why it want to. Neither Democrats nor Republicans have ever proposed such a thing, and most never will. But some on the right are at least proposing some changes.Image result for college loan bailouts

from the Federalist:

6 Serious Counterproposals To Democrats’ Insane Higher Ed Bailouts

The student loan debt bubble will soon burst, and the proper solution is not to throw $1.6 trillion of taxpayers’ money at a government-created problem.

Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, both of whom are running for president, each have a higher ed plan: Warren’s would pay off $50,000 of student debt for those earning less than $100,000, and Bernie’s would pay off practically all of America’s $1.6 trillion in student debt and make state college “free.” He’d attempt to pay for it by taxing stock and bond trades. read more

Ruminations of the Day – Kamala Harris and Antifa

By comment

by: Brent Smith at the Common Constitutionalist

Sometimes, there’s just too much happening all at once, so it makes it difficult to decide on a topic. So instead, how about two?

One:

Here we go again with the birther thing. Really?! And it’s not even a birther question. People are just calling it that.

It worked so well last time, that someone said to themselves – self, I know we looked like complete idiots before with the whole Barack Obama birth certificate. Because of our idiocy, a new word was even coined: birther.

This time the sights have been set on Kamala Harris. No, unlike Obama, no one is claiming Harris was born elsewhere and thus not an American citizen. Websites and supposed journalists are just using the “birther” moniker because it’s more sensational.

Some black guy, Ali Alexander, tweeted that he’s tired of Kamala Harris trying to “rob American blacks of our history.” read more
