Social Democrats prepare to trash the Constitution

by 24 Comments

While normal daily editor David Leonhardt is on vacation, the New York Times is bringing in outside writers to cover the morning newsletter until Aug. 27. This week’s authors are Meagan Day and Bhaskar Sunkara of Jacobin, the socialist magazine. The NYTs, by providing this very visible platform on what is basically the official newsletter of the Democratic Party, allows for an insight into just where they are heading. And that is a brazen, all-out attack on the US Constitution. From the Day and Sunkara newsletter:

Consider a few facts: Donald Trump is in the White House, despite winning almost three million fewer votes than Hillary Clinton. The Senate, the country’s most powerful legislative chamber, grants the same representation to Wyoming’s 579,315 residents as it does to 39,536,653 Californians. Key voting rights are denied to citizens in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and other United States territories. The American government is structured by an 18th-century text that is almost impossible to change.

These ills didn’t come about by accident; the subversion of democracy was the explicit intent of the Constitution’s framers. For James Madison, writing in Federalist No. 10, “Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention” incompatible with the rights of property owners. The byzantine Constitution he helped create serves as the foundation for a system of government that rules over people, rather than an evolving tool for popular self-government.

Writers on the left such as Jacobin’s Seth Ackerman and the journalist Daniel Lazare have long argued that constitutional reform needs to be on the agenda. Even some liberals like Vox’s Matthew Yglesias rightly worry that the current system of governance is headed toward collapse.

These perspectives are vital at a time when many progressives regard the Constitution as our only line of defense against a would-be autocrat in the White House. Yet whether or not the president knows it, the Constitution has long been venerated by conservative business elites like himself on the grounds that it hands them the power to fend off attempts to redistribute wealth and create new social guarantees in the interest of working people. There’s a reason we’re the only developed country without guarantees such as universal health care and paid maternity leave. While preserving and expanding the Bill of Rights’s incomplete safeguards of individual freedoms, we need to start working toward the establishment of a new political system that truly represents Americans. Our ideal should be a strong federal government powered by a proportionally elected unicameral legislature. But intermediary steps toward that vision can be taken by abolishing the filibuster, establishing federal control over elections and developing a simpler way to amend the Constitution through a national referendum.

How hard would change be? As Mr. Ackerman reminds us, while constitutional change is straightforward and feasible in most countries, “an amendment to the U.S. Constitution requires the consent of no less than thirty-nine different legislatures comprising roughly seventy-eight separately elected chambers.”

But it’s a problem worth confronting. As long as we think of our Constitution as a sacred document, instead of an outdated relic, we’ll have to deal with its anti-democratic consequences.

Okay. Here they go again, attempting to conflate Mr. Trump as a “would-be autocrat”, you know, the guy that just cut taxes, and has been inch by inch dismantling government overreach established by the Obama Administration. Despite the abject level of ignorance regarding why the Founding Fathers would have placed so many checks and balances on government, they don’t seem to grasp that changing the Constitution would open them up to the kind of autocracy that they fear. Or do they? What they hope for is to weaponize the electoral process to hopefully install a Democratic Socialist majority to bring about “social justice and change”. Given the ignorance and laziness and stupidity of the American people, this could very well happen. The beauty of our system is, once the mobile vulgus realize that they’ve been had, they can vote them right out again. Which is the point of the NYTs newsletter? Once they gain power, they want to be sure that they don’t have to give it up (change the Constitution). Notice the words, National Referendum? In other words, the left wing ratholes of New York, Boston, Chicago, San Fran and all of Cali get to decide for us.

This is basically how Hitler consolidated power for the socialists. General Election – only 44 percent of the population vote for the Nazis, who win 288 seats in the Reichstag. Enabling Act – the  Sturmabteilung (SA, or the Storm Detachment, begins functioning as the original paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party (NSDAP), similar to Antifa thugs. It played a significant role in Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s), intimidates all the remaining non-Nazi deputies. The Reichstag voted to give Hitler the right to make his own laws. Local government is reorganized – the country is carved up into 42 Gaus, which are run by a Gauleiter. These Gaus are separated into areas, localities, and blocks of flats run by a Blockleiter. Hitler sets up the Gestapo. Trade unions are abolished and their leaders arrested. Political parties are banned – only the Nazi party is allowed to exist. People’s Courts – Hitler sets up the Nazi people’s courts where judges have to swear an oath of loyalty to the Nazis. Night of the Long Knives – some SA leaders are demanding that the Nazi party carry out its socialist agenda, and that the SA take over the army. Hitler cannot afford to annoy the businessmen or the army, so the SS murders perhaps 400 of the SA members, including its leader Röhm, along with a number of Hitler’s other opponents. Führer – when Hindenburg dies, Hitler declares himself jointly president, chancellor and head of the army. The 1938 Regulations Against Jews’ Possession of Weapons, which came into force the day after Kristallnacht.

Today, socialists and their “democratic” counterparts differ only about the means by which to reach the same ends: total state control of the lives of everyone in a society. Even Bernie Sanders has not fully renounced his allegiance to Leon Trotsky and his Bolsheviks.

That prominent “democratic socialists” have endorsed the ends of socialism without openly embracing violence and murder to install it into place does not mean that they should be left off the hook. We further can assume that employing an electoral process to vote socialist measures into place is not going to make socialism work better than it has in the past, since the mechanics of socialism do not differ whether the socialist regime is installed via revolutionary violence or through the ballot box. After all, both Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro were overwhelmingly elected to office in Venezuela in what generally are believed to be relatively free and fair elections, and now that the state-directed economy has collapsed, “democratic socialist” supporters in the USA either pretend that the government is not socialist or that the Maduro regime is not socialist enough. Declares The Nation:

If socialism is understood as a system in which workers and communities (rather than bureaucrats, politicians, and well-connected entrepreneurs) exercise effective democratic control over economic and political decision-making, it would appear that Venezuela is suffering not from too much socialism, but from too little.

This quote is significant in analyzing “social democracy” if only for the use of rhetoric as a tool of social organization. Social Democrats promise all sorts of “free” goods and services from medical care to housing as part of their platform, yet want us to believe that rhetoric by itself also provides the means to provide these “free” items without creating economic havoc.

It is not as though socialists suddenly have discovered the word “democratic.” We have the socialist nation we know as North Korea is actually the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The country we knew as East Germany, is officially was named the German Democratic Republic, and so on. For that matter, the deadly Cambodian regime that murdered more than a third of the nation’s population from 1975 to 1979 ruled over the nation named Democratic Kampuchea.

Can we get an Amen for Denmark!!

Democratic socialists claim that they don’t want a totalitarian system; they just want us to be like Denmark. As the Occupy Democrats meme tells us, Denmark is the world’s “happiest country” because it has lots of free stuff, like healthcare, education, and childcare, kind of like the old USSR.

Yes, Denmark has lots of government services paid for via very high marginal tax rates. However, they also have relatively-low business taxes in order to ensure that private enterprise can produce enough wealth to fund the Danish welfare state. The recent political caterwauling over the reduction in corporation taxes in the USA from 35 to 21 percent tells us that democratic socialists in this country have no idea that the vast welfare state they want to create must be undergirded by someone, somewhere, producing all of that “free stuff.” Also, would American democratic socialists really be able to deal with the overarching demands for total social conformity? While much of the current call for socialism in the USA is coming from entrepreneurial billionaires, and especially those on the West Coast, there is no room for such people in Denmark. There are no Mark Zuckerbergs or Steven Jobses.

In order to create their utopias, they ultimately would have to respond to the normal resistance that comes when authorities are heavy-handed and when they try to expropriate one’s property to use it for political purposes. The government response almost always is the same: gratuitous violence. Once upon a time, Sanders understood the “need” for violence and even murder in the creation of the socialist state, and he tacitly approved it. Today, he and Ocasio-Cortez pretend that they peacefully can create that happy utopia where everyone is happy, and there is a coffee shop on every corner.

Lucky for us, the Founding Fathers saw all this nonsense coming and made it very hard do. But it’s not impossible. So, when you hear phrases like “our Constitution as a sacred document, instead of an outdated relic”,  load your firearms. That is if the Social Democrats haven’t confiscated them.

  1. As to the United States Constitution, which is interpreted and given its meaning by some unelected political appointees in black robes sitting on the United States Supreme Court, with those interpretations often being pulled from out of their ***** as opposed to from our history, whatever the Constitution may have once meant was changed forever in 1934, when the Court ruled in Home Building & Loan Assn. v. Blaisdell, 290 U.S. 398 (1934) that “(T)he great clauses of the Constitution must be considered in the light of our whole experience, and not merely as they would be interpreted by its framers in the conditions and with the outlook of their time.”

    In other words, the U.S. Constitution is a highly malleable piece of putty that can be shaped any which way by whomever happens to have control of the Supreme Court at that time.

    Thus, can it truly be said that the Democrats and Democratic Socialists of America, who include U.S. senator Charley “Chuck” Schumer and New York governor Young Andy Cuomo in their number are mounting a brazen, all-out attack on the US Constitution, when the Constitution no longer has any real meaning?

  2. “Well, here they go again, attempting to conflate Mr. Trump as a ‘would-be autocrat’, you know,
    the guy that just cut taxes, (temporary and ever so slight for the middle class – permanent for the
    upper .01% and corporations to the tune of 1.5 trillion) and has been inch by inch dismantling
    government overreach established by the Obama Administration” (EPA – Established in 1970 by
    the Nixon administration – multiple land lease reversals for oil companies and pipeline
    distribution for cronyism…reversing Obama era cyberattack rules and a national health care
    emplacement by Obama with no real plan to replace it). With all of the favors Trump has placed
    upon his friends and the steps he has taken to vanquish his enemies; how does this not smack of
    autocracy?
    But, the most interesting thing written here are the statements about Hitler and the setting up his
    empire. Especially where you compare brown-shirts to Antifa. Or how about Hitler dismantling
    the Unions? Then arresting the leaders? We all know what fans the Alt-right is of Unions. These
    comparisons are laughable. The trampling of the Constitution has been occurring for decades.
    The very fact that the legislative branch cannot accomplish anything and has accomplished
    nothing but aiding in the destruction of the permanent laws in place to protect the average citizen
    from governmental overreach (think Patriot Act of 2002) just goes to show the direction this
    nation has taken in the last twenty-thirty years. Want to know the direction of country, just look
    to the methodologies and machinations of Dick Cheney and the Bush administration during the
    years 2001 thru 2006 and the powers gained by the executive branch during that time.
    The socialism of Hitler’s Germany was directed into a war machine and into the coffers of the
    autocratic society placed in power in 1933. The socialism of modern society in countries such as
    Denmark, Canada, Australia, Sweden, Norway and even Great Britain is designed to assist and
    maintain a civil society within a country. Not engage in world dominance. No, the power of the
    highest seat in the land is now in the hands of the most powerful. And you and I are not even on
    their radar. Yet.

    Note: We think there is a point buried in here somewhere?? When did Australia and Britain become socialist? Somebody forgot to tell Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. Are people so out of it that they really think Norway is socialist too?? Silly.

  3. For many years there has been a ” talk show ” called The Thomas Jefferson Hour by Dr. Clay Jenkenson , the formost scholar on the life , writing and philosophy of Thomas Jefferson .

    Jenkenson has extracted from Jefferson’s writings numerous times that Jefferson NEVER INTENDED THE CONSTITUTION TO LAST more than one generation or about 20 years .

    Jefferson intended for the USA to have a Constitutional Convention about every 20 years to refine it , to correct it and to bring it up to date .
    While there have been amendments , as a legal document used for the basis of modern decision making , it inadequate . So now instead of pointing to The Constitution for guidance , in most cases we refer to Precident .

    The longer this goes on , the more complicated the process becomes .

    Unfortunately , it is highly unlikely that there will ever be a modern constitutional convention . We are stuck . Gridlock is the new norm .

    • Classify this under “be careful what you wish for”.

      In and of itself, the idea of a convention to update the Constitution isn’t inherently a bad idea.

      However.

      What happens when changes get made that the Left doesn’t like?

      I mean, we’ve seen some spectacularly stupid demonstrations from them since November 8th, 2016 so what could we look forward to if say, gay marriage was outlawed or the 2nd amendment was strengthened by taking out that damn semi-colon?

      Might lead to outright civil war, where one side throws condoms full of urine and the other side resorts to longer range weaponry.

      I think the founding fathers got it more right than wrong. Gridlock is not necessarily a bad thing.

  4. Oh and in case anyone out there thinks my assessment is over the top, take a look at the SCOTUS hearings for an idea of what would happen if the Constitution was amended contrary to leftist ideology.

    FWIW, 200 people were arrested for disrupting the hearings.

    Next watch what happens when he is appointed.

    All hell is going to break loose.

    And in the end DT will still be their president, Kavanaugh will still be on the bench and all they will have accomplished is to cement in regular folks minds that they made the correct choice November 8th, 2016………………and again in 2020.

    • Are not popular assemblies frequently subject to the impulses of rage, resentment, jealousy, avarice, and of other irregular and violent propensities?

      That was a question posed to the People of the State of New York, and by extension, to the nation, 230 years ago by Alexander Hamilton circa 1788 in Federalist No. 6, Concerning Dangers from Dissensions Between the States, for the Independent Journal.

      The answer 230 years later is the same as it was 230 years ago when the question was posed – of course they are.

      It would be foolish and naïve to think otherwise.

      The proof is seen in all the screechers and screamers and moaners and whiners who are disrupting the judicial hearings.

  5. Since history has repeatedly proven what a disaster wealth redistribution and socialism are.
    You really can’t teach the stupid and socialist, are at the bottom of the stupidity barrel.
    Just one more time, just one more time, it’ll be different, it’ll be different, collapse, rinse and repeat.
    Wealth redistribution and socialism doesn’t work because the math, doesn’t work and stupids pimping Europe as an example of socialized success, are only epitomizing the delusional stupidity that socialism is built upon.
    When the reality of these European and Scandinavian slaveocracies, are slowly eating themselves alive with heavy taxes, and the highest cost of living on the planet, not to mention the ever growing restrictions replacing freedoms.
    Socialism, is slavery and a disease, the whole delusion of wealth redistribution is nothing, but ideological diarrhea that’s wiped it ass with every society stupid enough to feed it!
    The only thing wrong with America’s government, are the class of wealthy retarded criminals being elected into it and the citizens complete lack of resolve to deal with them properly.
    The American people have lost their government because they’ve allowed themselves to be repeatedly conned and dumbed down for generations, by a bunch rich criminals pretending to be politicians.
    The American people, are about to lose a whole hell of lot more, if they allow themselves to be pimped into a brothelized nation full of socialism whores.

  6. Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, aka “Evite from the Bronx,” who just drove billionaire Jeff Bezos and Amazon out of New York City in a showdown between socialism and capitalism, does not pretend that she peacefully can create that happy socialist utopia where everyone is happy, and there is a coffee shop on every corner.

    Not hardly.

    If people have to be hurt to usher in socialism, so be it.

    This reminds me of Mao Tse-tung’s political essay “PROBLEMS OF WAR AND STRATEGY” dated
    November 6, 1938, which was part of Mao Tse-tung’s concluding speech at the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party.

    In that essay, Mao stated as follows:

    The seizure of power by armed force, the settlement of the issue by war, is the central task and the highest form of revolution.

    This Marxist-Leninist principle of revolution holds good universally, for China and for all other countries.

    But while the principle remains the same, its application by the party of the proletariat finds expression in varying ways according to the varying conditions.

    Internally, capitalist countries practice bourgeois democracy (not feudalism) when they are not fascist or not at war; in their external relations, they are not oppressed by, but themselves oppress, other nations.

    Because of these characteristics, it is the task of the party of the proletariat in the capitalist countries to educate the workers and build up strength through a long period of legal struggle, and thus prepare for the final overthrow of capitalism.

    end quotes

    In her recent battle with Bezos and Amazon, as well as statements in her GREEN NEW DEAL fact sheet, Ocasio-Cortez had made it quite clear that for her and her followers, the struggle to overthrow capitalism in this country has begun.

    Getting back to the blueprint for that as explained in 1938 by Mao, we have:

    In these countries, the question is one of a long legal struggle, of utilizing parliament as a platform, of economic and political strikes, of organizing trade unions and educating the workers.

    There the form of organization is legal and the form of struggle bloodless (non-military).

    On the issue of war, the Communist Parties in the capitalist countries oppose the imperialist wars waged by their own countries; if such wars occur, the policy of these Parties is to bring about the defeat of the reactionary governments of their own countries.

    The one war they want to fight is the civil war for which they are preparing.

    But this insurrection and war should not be launched until the bourgeoisie becomes really helpless, until the majority of the proletariat are determined to rise in arms and fight, and until the rural masses are giving willing help to the proletariat.

    And when the time comes to launch such an insurrection and war, the first step will be to seize the cities, and then advance into the countryside’ and not the other way about.

    All this has been done by Communist Parties in capitalist countries, and it has been proved correct by the October Revolution in Russia.

    end quotes

    There is the playbook that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez plays by, and she would say that based on the experience of the Communists in China and Russia, it is a winning strategy, and the one thing the socialists and Communists do have plenty of is patience.

    Ocasio-Cortez and the ignorant, foul-mouthed Rashida Tlaib, the Democratic Socialist who publicly called Trump a “mother****er,” are following that playbook by utilizing congress as their platform to put forth their socialist agenda in this country.

    And this shift towards socialism in this country is not new, as we can see from a Time magazine article entitled “Why Populist American Leaders Love Russia” by Sana Krasikov on February 21, 2017, which article stated as follows on that subject:

    Before Roosevelt’s election in 1934, the executive branch and Congress had snubbed Russia.

    Convinced that the new Bolshevik government was eager to undermine the American government through spying and meddling via the Communist International, or Comintern (think of today’s hacking scandals), they refused to recognize the Soviet Union and send an ambassador there.

    end quotes

    Same ****, different day, there, anyway.

    Getting back to the Time article:

    It’s impossible to know exactly what motivated Roosevelt, but it’s clear that his affinity for Stalin was more than just strategic.

    It is known from Roosevelt’s statements that he believed that the Russians and the Americans were on a path to convergence.

    He believed that as the U.S. was moving away from unfettered capitalism toward state-managed socialism, the Soviet Union was moving from autocratic communism to socialist democracy.

    end quotes

    There was a time in America when as children, we were supposed to know these things, and that by the 7th grade, or so, so we would recognize what was happening around us as it was happening.

    When I was young, that was the purpose of a basic education – to make you aware so you could be a better citizen.

    Much has changed since then, and today, the show seems to belong to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, “Evita from the Bronx,” and her three million strong army of twittering tweeters on mindless TWITTER, because socialism as she presents it, with everything free and provided by the “government,” in reality the “Leviathan” of Hobbes, has such an appeal for the younger generation in America from which she draws her political power.

      • Stuart Bell, I am wondering if your perception of the average looking American is that of John Wayne as shown in the movie Flying Leathernecks. Am I right? Well, here’s a clue for you…

        The average American has a strong proportion of African, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Slavic mixture in their DNA. (Go to sciencemag.org if you want to see for yourself) If you could roll back time five hundred years or so, you and I would easily lose Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a crowd of Algonquins. You know, those same folks that used to inhabit the very land your great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandpappy stole way back in 1620 or so. In fact, it is very probably that the Bell family has a trace of Algonquin blood running in their circulatory systems at this very moment. You know, if you were average.

        So. Enlighten me as to what the average American looks like. Are they Black? Are they Latino? Are they blonde, blue eyed and stout? Are they olive skinned with green eyes, or brown eyes or broad nosed or hook nosed, kinky hair or straight and black haired? These are all Americans. What does the average American look like?

        I am guessing it depends on what your Jesus looks like. Is he that blonde, strapping good looking sleepy eyed, blue-eyed guy, wearing a pristine robe with purple sash as portrayed knocking on the door pictured on the back of congregation cooling fans in churches all up and down the Eastern Shore in the White Methodist and Baptists churches? OR is he dark brown skinned with brown eyes, black hair and a broad hooked nose, like an Arab or Armenian? You know, how he ACTUALLY looked.

        Average indeed. What a strong statement to come from you. What exactly do you mean? Who is the average American? And better still, who is the exceptional American? My money is on that Cuban lady. After all, she is seated in the Congress of the most powerful nation on earth. And you and I are not. After all, we’re just average.

        • Jesus was as black as the ace of spades, Chas Cornweller – everybody knows that.

          And as to AOC or “Sandy the Bartender from Queens,” or “Evita from the Bronx,” she would be the first to tell Stuart Bell that he is damn right, she does not look like the average American, because she isn’t one.

          She is a brown-skinned (“person of color”) Democratic Socialist from the Bronx who beat an old white guy named Joe Crowley, the Democrat “King of Queens,” based on a platform of racial identity in the heavily African-American neighborhoods of Southeast Queens, and as such, she is the new face of American politics, as we see from a Business Insider article entitled “THE TRUTH ABOUT ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: The inside story of how, in just one year, Sandy the bartender became a lawmaker who triggers both parties” by Eliza Relman on Jan. 6, 2019, as follows:

          Right now young voters, particularly women, are more left-leaning than they’ve been in decades.

          Nearly 60% of voters between 18 and 25 identify as Democrats or lean left.

          And those under 30 went for Democrats by 31 points in the 2018 midterms.

          By virtue of her identity, her message, and her online medium, Ocasio-Cortez is speaking directly to young people, immigrants, and people of color, the nontraditional voters Democrats must energize.

          She won 80% of the votes cast in precincts in which the average voter was under 40, according to the progressive think tank Data for Progress.

          “It turns out the actual solution to gaining progressive power is running young hot people in low-turnout primaries,” said Sean McElwee, a progressive activist and cofounder of Data for Progress.

          McElwee first met Ocasio-Cortez in mid-2017.

          He DM’d her on Twitter, inviting her to the weekly happy hour he hosts at a dive bar Manhattan’s East Village where politicians like New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson sometimes drop by.

          He predicted Ocasio-Cortez would win her primary seven weeks before she did.

          Naomi Burton, one half of the team that produced Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign ad, said youthful appeal was a theme among the progressives she worked with last cycle.

          “Socialists are sexy because they’re young people, they’re people of color,” Burton said.

          “They are young, beautiful people who also have great politics and an ability to talk about that.”

          • To the Democratic Socialists, who are in America, but are not “Americans” in the sense that someone like Stuart Bell would use the word, which is becoming an anachronism, actually, the United States of America is a mere bauble, something to be fought over and claimed as a possession.

            And their “fight,” for fight it is, is against what they consider to be the “white race,” as if people with white skin were actually a different race of people than are “people of color,” like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Elizabeth Warren, who is running for president on a platform of government reparations for black Americans impacted by slavery to the tune of trillions of dollars as we were recently informed in the MARKETWATCH article “Elizabeth Warren backs reparations for slavery: report” by Victor Reklaitis published Feb. 21, 2019.

            And it is about changing demographics, as we can see from the Democratic Socialist playbook that helped to put Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in power in the first place.

            That playbook, dated June 25, 2016, and titled “A summary of Democratic Socialists of America’s Strategy Document – June 2016,” begins as follows:

            2016 was a game changing year for leftists and progressives.

            We are finally reemerging as a vital and powerful force after an extended period of stagnation and demoralization, and we face a political landscape more favorable than perhaps at any time since the 1960s.

            That statement brings us back to a Time magazine article entitled “Why Populist American Leaders Love Russia” by Sana Krasikov on February 21, 2017, which article stated as follows, to wit:

            That Comintern, or Communist International, is the parent group, if you will, of the Democratic Socialists in this country today.

            The reason the Democratic Socialists face a political landscape in the United States of America today that is more favorable to them as a political body separate and apart from traditional Americans such as Stuart Bell, than perhaps at any time since the 1960s, is given in their manifesto as follows:

            As the life prospects of many white people in the 99% continue to decline, and as demographic tides shift steadily toward a United States in which people of color constitute a majority, this reactionary organizing is likely to grow ever more serious.

            “Whitey’s” days are numbered here in the United States of America according to the “people of color” like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Elizabeth Warren, and it is time to strip them of political power as a form of pay-back for holding “people of color” as their slaves, a point which came across recently in a Washington Post article entitled “Florida sixth-grader charged with misdemeanor after refusing to recite Pledge of Allegiance” by Kristine Phillips on 18 February 2019, as follows:

            A Florida student is facing misdemeanor charges after a confrontation with his teacher that began with his refusal to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and escalated into what officials described as disruptive behavior.

            The student, a sixth-grader at Lawton Chiles Middle Academy in Lakeland, Fla., east of Tampa, refused to stand for the pledge, telling the teacher that he thinks the flag and the national anthem are “racist” against black people, according to an affidavit.

            Now, it mystifies me how someone in this country of any skin color who calls themselves an actual American can think the American flag and the flag and the national anthem are “racist” against black people, but there it is, right before our eyes in the pages of the Washington Post (“democracy dies in darkness”), itself.

            So who is teaching these “people of color” this crap, and why?

            And that answer is for political power – teach the children when young to hate “Whitey” and the America “whitey” stands for do that when they grow older, they are already converts to the cause of the Democratic Socialists like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the ignorant, foul-mouthed, hate-filled Palestinian congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, now world-famous for publicly calling Trump a “mother****er.”

            And that takes us back to January 27, 2018, when the San Francisco Democrat Speaker of the former United States House of Representatives, now the “People’s House,” Nancy Pelosi appeared before the United States Conference of Mayors 2018 winter meeting on Friday, where she famously said the Republican immigration plan is to “make America white again.”

            “While I’m on the subject of DREAMers, since last night the president put forth a plan.”

            “Let me just say what I said last night: that plan is a campaign to make America white again,” Pelosi said.

            What Nancy is talking about there is who gets to hold political power here in the United States of America – the hated “white race,” people like Stuart Bell, or the other race, which is the “people of color” like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren and Rashida Tlaib, who are the new face of American politics.
