Levin: Joe Biden’s ‘Marxist pablum’ on the Constitution is ‘a direct assault on the country’

Wednesday on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin gave listeners the history lesson Joe Biden never got on the Constitution’s so-called “three-fifths compromise.”

Biden derided the Constitution on Tuesday for having never lived up to its ideals of equality. Levin played a clip: “American history is not a fairy-tale. The battle for the soul of the nation has been a constant push and pull for 243 years between the American ideal that says we’re all created equal and harsh reality that racism has long torn us apart. The same document that promised to secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity also allowed for slavery and the so-called ‘three-fifths compromise’ that discounted the very humanity of black people in America at the time. The honest truth is both elements are part of the American character. At our best, the American ideal wins out. But it’s never a rout, it’s always a fight, and it’s a battle that is never fully finished. Go back to the beginning. Thomas Jefferson wrote what many believe to be the most important civil document in human history. And he was a slaveholder. We’ve never lived up to our American ideals; Jefferson himself didn’t. But what he wrote has pulled us towards justice for more than two centuries and still does.”

Levin called this “the Marxist pablum that you get in every college and university that gives tenure to Marxists.”

“So one of the victims, then, of the slaughter that took place over the weekend is the Constitution,” Levin said. “Because Joe Biden is the leading Democrat for president of the United States on the Democrat side, and he just trashed the Constitution of the United States. If the Constitution of the United States … is a document of white supremacy, then what about the office of the presidency that Joe Biden seeks?”

“This is a direct assault not on the president … but on the country. A direct assault on the country.”

Listen:

“The three-fifths vote, as I’ve talked about before, was a proposal by the North to limit the number of seats apportioned to the South because of slavery. The North didn’t say that African-Americans are three-fifths of a person, as a moral imperative. The North said that for purposes of assigning House seats to the South, that slaves, that African-Americans, will count as three-fifths. In other words, the North proposed that for the purpose of limiting and weakening the representation in the House of Representatives by the slave states.

“Joe Biden is not only an ignoramus, he’s a horrific demagogue. And I’ve heard this 3/5th issue since I was in high school, and it was a lie, and I researched it and I studied it. We know why it was proposed, we know who proposed it, we know why they proposed it, as I said. The Constitution of the United States ends the importation of slaves 20 years after its adoption. Why didn’t it end it immediately? Because there would be no Constitution. Because Georgia and South Carolina threatened to walk out of the Constitutional Convention. There would have been no United States of America, there would have been no subsequent Civil War eliminating slavery and the slave states and territories — none. When Joe Biden says we’ve been struggling with this issue for 243 years, he doesn’t talk about any of the years up to, including, and after the Civil War — not once. Because that would hurt his narrative.

“When you look at America, and when you have a man who has been vice president of the United States and U.S. senator under that Constitution he now denounces, who’s been on the public payroll and has gotten rich as a senator and vice president under the Constitution he now denounces, it is incredible that he has no comprehension whatsoever of American history,” Levin said.

Why Democrats Own El Paso

Mark Twain once said, “The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter — ‘tis the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.”

Donald Trump is a nationalist who supports all things American, and has admitted as much.  What he is not is a white nationalist — a detail that, like a decimal point, seems minor on the surface yet really is the difference between a lightning bug and lightning. Yet Democrats and the hard left continue to play with lightning, incessantly labeling Trump a white nationalist despite knowing how such language could be misperceived by legitimate neo-Nazis and white supremacist groups in America, possibly emboldening them to act.

Although the horrific El Paso shooting is still under investigation, Democrats and the mainstream media have wasted no time using the massacre to further inject the word white into Trump’s pro-American nationalism. 

“The President of the United States is condoning white nationalism,” South Bend Mayor and presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg said of the attack.  “White nationalism is one of the evils that is motivating and inspiring at least some people to go kill Americans. The president has a responsibility to nip this in the bud.”

Interestingly, it’s the Democrats that want to keep white nationalism alive in the White House, as Trump has nipped this in the bud, many times.  In August of 2017, when violence started to escalate during a white supremacy rally in Charlottesville, Va., Trump tweeted, “We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Let’s come together as one!” Later, after a 32-year-old female was hit and killed by a white nationalist’s car that ran into counterprotesters, Trump made the following statement: “We condemn in the strongest most possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. On many sides.”

Trump’s short impromptu response – made during televised remarks about a bill signing already underway – suggested it takes two to tango, and failed to specifically condemn white nationalism, although Trump and White House officials insisted this was implied in Trump’s original tweet. But this was not good enough for those Trump haters who so desperately wanted to see America’s highest office stained by white supremacy.  After claiming Trump was himself a white nationalist or at the very least a neo-Nazi apologist, Trump publicly condemned such hate groups and their sympathizers, stating, “Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups.”

A White House official even clarified Trump’s initial remarks. “The President said very strongly in his statement yesterday that he condemns all forms of violence, bigotry, and hatred,” the statement said. “Of course that includes white supremacists, KKK, Neo-Nazi, and all extremist groups. He called for national unity and bringing all Americans together.”

What Democrats should have done at this point was back President Trump, forever putting to rest the ridiculous notion that white supremacist hate groups have an ally in the White House.  Instead they did the opposite.  They rallied together with the mainstream media to create the narrative that Trump was indeed a vicious racist, that yes, the President of the United States was a white supremacist, and that he welcomed — even encouraged – such displays of hatred and intolerance.  

Of course Trump did not, and Democrats and the hard left knew it.  Trump is an American nationalist, not a white nationalist, the former being patriotic and putting the interests of America and all its citizens first, the latter being a bigot who uses violence and fear to preach and establish white supremacy.  Because Democrats have no solid platform of their own, they must use a scorched-earth approach, bending over backwards to frame everything Trump says and does as “racist” and thus evidence of him being a “white nationalist.”  

“The first order of business to reduce white nationalism is to eliminate white nationalism in our White House,” Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee said after the El Paso shooting. “The sentiments of fear and division, and outright racism, that this president has emboldened out to be sickening to anyone.”  Inslee went on to say that fear and division are “Donald Trump’s stock-in-trade,” and that Trump owed it to the country to heal its historic racial wounds.    

Heal, really?  How can Trump or anyone else heal racial wounds when people like Inslee continue to rip these wounds wide open by constantly framing everything in terms of race, and by disingenuously referring to America’s president as a “white nationalist,” whereby providing legitimate hate groups with the misconception that they have a partner in the White House?       

Wajahat Ali, a journalist for Al Jazeera America and former consultant for the U.S. State Department under Obama, recently mocked the Republican party and slammed Trump as a white nationalist, too: 

“I think the Republican Party is the most diverse party on Earth. When I look at the Republican Party I see every shade of white under the sun, I see white men, old white men, young white men, white men with facial hair, some white men with fades. I even see some white women. What I don’t see are people of color. Why? Because Donald Trump is a racist. He’s a racist president and he’s promoting a white nationalist ideology.”

This isn’t racist?  Mocking the very color of someone’s skin?  Still, what on earth is this “white nationalist ideology” that Trump espouses, anyway?  Trump criticizes the Squad for bad mouthing America, inviting them to go to struggling countries like Somalia — fix them up — and then come back and let us know how it’s done. Yet somehow Trump is a bigot and white nationalist who told the congresswomen to go back where they came from, as if they weren’t welcomed in the U.S. because they weren’t white enough.  Not only was race not mentioned by anyone except Democrats, but the invitation to come back was conveniently dropped.  

Trump criticizes Elijah Cummings because Baltimore is overrun with rats and urban blight, bringing attention to an area of America neglected by Cummings and the Democrats for decades, and Trump’s an intolerant bigot. Again, no mention of race anywhere, except from liberals themselves.  

Trump calls for a merit-based immigration policy, one that accepts people who have viable skills and the ability to assimilate to American culture and values, and the left insists he’s a white nationalist, favoring white countries over nonwhite ones.  Who bought up skin color?  Not President Trump, but the race-obsessed left.           

Ironically, it’s the Democrats who want white nationalism in the White House, not Trump and his conservative supporters.  It’s high time they take responsibility for their dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric, before they embolden more hate groups to act out.

Environmental alarmism behind El Paso shootings

The El Paso shooter is a product of years, if not decades, of environmentalist hysteria. When a person carefully reads his manifesto, it is clear he’s nothing more than a version of the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, the man who tried singlehandedly to stop technological advances by mailing explosive devices that killed three men and seriously injured several others.

The words from the El Paso shooter himself puts the blame squarely on all that is allegedly doing harm to the environment because of the American way of life:

The American lifestyle affords our citizens an incredible quality of life. However, our lifestyle is destroying the environment of our country. The decimation of the environment is creating a massive burden for future generations. My ideology has not changed for several years. My opinions on automation, immigration, and the rest predate Trump and his campaign for president.

He also states in his online manifesto:

If we can get rid of enough people, then our way of life can become more sustainable.

If the left can blame Sarah Palin for the shooting of Gabby Giffords because Palin once used the term “putting a target on their backs” for political opponents, then why can’t the entire Democratic party and liberal ideology be blamed for so many years of criticizing industrial America for the El Paso shooters’ mass killing? Furthermore, he has exposed a contradiction in left-wing Democratic ideology that is all for open borders and the massive influx of foreigners into the country, yet promotes the idea that people are doing irreparable harm to the environment. This is a blatant discrepancy as wide as the Grand Canyon. How can you square this circle? The simple answer is, you can’t. 

Like most ideologues (and liberals) the El Paso shooter is blind to the holes in his thought processes with an inability to see the forest for the trees. Carbon emissions have been steadily declining for decades in the United States while significantly increasing in other countries, especially in China and India, yet they are never excoriated for pollution and harm to the environment as much as the United States. This all ties in to the demonizing and utopian thinking by the left of everything they see as bad in their pursuit and maintenance of political and governmental power. 

Over time, the liberal agenda is clearly growing more and more extremist, as manifested by the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates. As their rhetoric grows more shrill with each passing year, it seems logical that people hearing their catastrophic and fatalistic messages would eventually turn to violence.

El Paso shooting: latest atrocity exploited by Democrats

My prayers and heartfelt sympathy goes out to the victims of the El Paso Mall shooting. The gunman posted a manifesto.

One of the issues which angered the gunman is illegal immigration. Democrats and fake news media will jump on this like white on rice. Despicably, they will launch a bogus narrative that the gunman is a typical Trump voter, driven to violence by Trump’s racist rhetoric.

Don’t be fooled, folks. The deranged gunman’s views are all over the ideological map. However, his environmental views are clearly the result of the  progressives dominating public education and fake news media. This quote from the manifesto exposes his insane progressive environmental views.

“I just want to say I love the people of this country. But g** d***, most of y’all are just too stubborn to change your lifestyle. So the next logical step is to decrease the number of people in America using resources. If we can get rid of enough people, then our way of life can become more sustainable.”

Wow, that is scary.

I doubt that you will hear this environmental wacko statement in the manifesto reported on CNN. The same way magicians use misdirection, fake news media will try to focus our attention away from the truth that the gunman was strongly influenced by left-wing environmental indoctrination.

Years ago in a public library, I was shocked to see a stack of brochures which told youths that having a baby was irresponsible and destructive to the planet. God instructed Adam and Eve, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth…” Progressives reject God’s intention for everything; foolishly believing they know better than our creator what is best for us.

In his manifesto, the gunman used the word, “sustainable”. Because we have allowed progressives to dominate public education for decades, sustainability is sacred, “holy”, in the minds of many millennials.

Democrats and fake news media view every shooting and catastrophe through a lens of how they can exploit it to kick Trump out of the White House. How can the tragic event be used to further their anti-American, anti-Christian, and socialist/progressive agenda. American suffering and lost lives are acceptable collateral damage to achieve their goal.

No matter how much Democrats and fake news media pretend to care about the victims of the mall shooting, they relish another opportunity to get Trump. They are laser-focused on using the tragedy against Trump in the 2020 presidential election.

Progressives’ hatred for traditional American values, patriotism, and Christianity has risen to remarkable levels since we elected President Trump. Progressives’ believe no price is too high, no tactic is too low if it will remove Trump from office. Most Democrats in Congress and fake news media are void of a biblical point of reference, which makes them extremely callous, cold, calculating and dangerous. Yes, I am saying they are evil. How else can you explain 177 Democrats voting to murder babies even after they are born?

A snake asked a beaver for a ride across the river. The beaver said no because the snake would bite him. The snake vowed it would not harm the beaver. Upon reaching the other side, the snake bit the beaver. “Why did you bite me?”, asked the beaver. The snake replied, “I’m a snake.”

At least 20 innocent Americans lost their lives at the hands of an evil man in the El Paso mall shooting. It is evil and disgusting to exploit the shooting to falsely brand Trump and his voters violent racists. And yet, Democrats and fake news media are unable to stop themselves from doing so. Why? Because Democrats and fake news media are snakes.

Antifa is arming

The incessant hate campaign against President Donald Trump and his supporters by the media and the Democratic Party is pushing the left’s Trump Derangement Syndrome into the danger zone. The current issue of the New Republic, a premier publication of liberalism, has an article titled ”Antifa Is Arming Itself Aganist a Trump Crackdown.” 

Left-wing radicals are overwrought about transgressions they imagine the president and his supporters might commit. As a result,  

…many leftists and even some liberals are beginning to reconsider their feelings about firearms, joining a loose amalgamation of gun groups, from John Brown Gun Clubs (which take their name from the abolitionist) to the Pink Pistols (a LGBTQ group), Liberal Gun Club, and Socialist Rifle Association. 

John Brown Gun Clubs (JBGCs) maybe the most prominent. They exist in many states and operate under the banner of a network called Redneck Revolt, a collection a radical leftists and anarchists. 

It is ominous that the JBGCs use the name of the notorious abolitionist John Brown as their namesake. It is worth recalling that John Brown was a domestic terrorist before the word ‘terrorist’ came into popular use. This man was responsible for murders in Kansas, and he led a handful of his followers to seize the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry (1859) hoping to instigate a rebellion. After killing five people, Brown was captured by U.S. Marines commanded by Colonel Robert E. Lee and Lieutenant J.E.B. Stuart. He was promptly tried, convicted, and then hanged on December 2, 1859

On the morning of his hanging, Brown wrote from his jail cell: “I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood.” 

It is frightening to read those words in the context of the thinking of today’s left and many elements in the Democratic Party. To them, America is bad, its founding was flawed, its growth was exploitive. This is why they dishonor the flag, abandoned saying the Pledge of Allegiance, and drag American history through the mud. It’s a fair question to ask if groups like Antifa and the ‘Squad’ are intent on purging what they perceive as America’s guilt with blood.

Then there’s the Socialist Rifle Association (SRA). This groups’s logo has a striking similarity to that of the defunct U.S.S.R. 

If nothing else, the SRA is diverse in its own way. According to the New Republic article, “2,000 of its members identify as LGBTQ, and 8 percent are transgender.” 

A certain irony surrounds all these Antifa gun groups. Every one of them purports to be for minorities yet their membership is overwhelming white males. Hmmm.

President Trump is said to be considering labeling Antifa as a terrorist group. He should do so.

Then there’s the Socialist Rifle Association (SRA). This groups’s logo has a striking similarity to that of the defunct U.S.S.R. 

If nothing else, the SRA is diverse in its own way. According to the New Republic article, “2,000 of its members identify as LGBTQ, and 8 percent are transgender.” 

A certain irony surrounds all these Antifa gun groups. Every one of them purports to be for minorities yet their membership is overwhelming white males. Hmmm.

President Trump is said to be considering labeling Antifa as a terrorist group. He should do so.

Trump again speciously blamed for the insanity of others

 

It is hardly a surprise that the leftists in the media and among the Democratic presidential candidates would immediately blame President Trump for the two horrific mass shootings that occurred over thirteen hours on Saturday.  It’s what they do.  Having no scruples whatsoever, they jump at every opportunity to malign the president, no matter how specious their accusations.  

This time may well be the worst of their politicizing of gruesome mass shootings.  Booker, Klobuchar, AOC, Buttigieg, et. al. could not wait to place the blame for these mass murders on Trump and his 70 million supporters.  While Trump has never uttered a racist word, their main talking point, the only plan they have to defeat Trump in 2020 is to convince voters that he is a hardcore racist.  

They all know that he is nothing of the kind.  They all know he de-segregated his elite golf club of Palm Beach.  They know he was pals with Don King, Mike Tyson, even the odious Al Sharpton in the old days.  They all know he is not a racist, but they do not care about the truth.  They only care about defeating the man who is showing them up day after day since he was elected by succeeding.  

In short, our Left is pathetic.  Pathetic because there is no there there.  They have no viable plans to pitch to 2020 voters.  Anyone who watched the debates knows that all they have is rage and anger; no vision, no respect for Trump’s many accomplishments so far, just unmitigated fury.  

So again, their default position after two more mass murders, again by two twenty-somethings angry at the world for their own personal deficits, their own internal demons, the left goes for the jugular and blames Trump within minutes of the events. They blame him before they know that both shooters were Democrats.  The media even tried to alter the El Paso shooter’s manifesto to make him a republican.  That is how unscrupulous and desperate they are.  

It is well and truly monstrous.  Op-ed writers like the despicable Jennifer Rubin cheered the ridiculous words of Beto O’Rourke, and candidate Pete Buttigieg blamed Trump as soon as they could get in front of a television camera.  No matter that both shooters have been ill for far longer than Trump has been in office.  Details, details!  

As Dennis Prager has often noted, truth is not a leftist value.  No. They favor fake news because they truly believe that voters, especially Trump supporters, are toothless, ignorant rubes.  They think that by coordinating their principal talking point, “Trump is a white nationalist, a racist,” that enough voters will be fooled and vote for their economy-killing, healthcare-demolishing agenda.   Clearly, voters are not that stupid.  

Who is actually moronic?  The leftists in Congress and their cohorts in the media who speak with one voice, with the exact same words and phrases.  Who doles out the talking points?  Who is the ventriloquist that puts the same words and phrases in their mouths?  Soros?  Tom Perez?  Tom Steyer?  The Democracy Integrity Project (TDIP)?  

Who knows?  But we do know this:  Whoever it is hates this country and wants to destroy it as founded or at least transform it, as Obama promised to do and, to a large extent, did.   Does anyone think that the Left would, as they are now, want to ban free speech had not Obama been President for eight years?  Would toddlers be undergoing gender transition?   Would the notion of over fifty gender identities be listed and accepted as real on university campuses?  Would transgendered men to women be destroying women’s competitive sports?  Would the left have succeeded in making all restrooms non-gender, even in elementary schools? 

 No, to all of the above.  These things all came about under Obama and with his enthusiastic approval.  Trump was elected because a majority of American people fear for their country for good reason.  It has been under attack for decades by the radical left and was granted free rein under Obama with his blessings.  

So enamored of their freedom to lie, to malign the innocent, to fabricate narratives (The Russia hoax) to further their goals, the Left has abased itself yet again by pretending that Trump is to blame for the crimes of insane, deranged persons.  He of course is not.  

Who is to blame?  The vicious left, the media that fans the flames of violence day after day with impunity, ever proud of their work.  They encourage and praise the violence of Antifa.  

What the American Left has become over the last ten years is reprehensible, ignoble.  They loathe the nation and its millions of people who just want to be left alone, to be self-reliant and free.   They want to enjoy the liberty guaranteed by our Constitution.  By jumping to blame Trump for the crimes of others leftists have demeaned themselves once again.  They will not be rewarded for their malfeasance.

Medicare For All Destroys Medicare

Medicare For All Destroys MedicareThe 2013 “Lie of the Year” was Barack Obama’s false claim, “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it.”

Millions of Democrats found that out the hard way.

The “Lie of the Year” for 2019 will be, “If you like your Medicare, you can keep it.”

Medicare for All doesn’t actually offer Medicare for all. It deprives senior citizens of Medicare.

Sappy for Socialism: CNN Promotes Bernie-Bro Ice Cream

CNN likes to portray itself as the Holding Government Accountable network, but when it comes to socialists running for president, it looks more like the Publicity Tool network. For some reason, CNN Politics reporters Ryan Nobles and Michelle Lou — it took two people for this? — promoted a new ice cream flavor promoting Bernie Sanders for President. It began: "Ever wondered what wealth inequality tastes like?" Bitter tears?

The definitions of “sex” and “gender identity” are heading to SCOTUS… sort of

For some time now, we’ve been waiting for a court case that could clear up some of the rather daunting questions arising from issues of transgender rights and how they intersect with traditional views on privacy and the segregation of the genders. A variety of these cases have produced a mixed bag of results in the lower courts and the Supreme Court has seemed reluctant to do more than nibble around the edges of the underlying questions. That may be about to change, though perhaps not for the better.

The Daily Signal has a good summary of such a case where oral arguments will be presented before the Supremes on October 8th. The case is R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes Inc. v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The case centers on Tom and Nancy Rost, who operate a family-owned funeral home in the Detroit area.

Six years ago, one of their male employees announced that he was transgender and planned to begin dressing as a woman at work. Tom reportedly agonized over the decision and the impact it might have on his female employees and, even more so, their grieving clients. In the end, he decided he couldn’t allow the employee to do that and declined the request. In short order, he was sued by the EEOC. And as the Daily Signal points out, it’s a decision that could have a dramatic impact on small businesses around the country.

Later, following the commission’s urging, a federal court of appeals effectively redefined the word “sex” in federal law to mean “gender identity.”

Enacted by Congress in 1964, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act has long protected women, along with racial and religious minorities, from unjust discrimination in the workplace.

Redefining the term “sex” in that law to mean “gender identity” would create chaotic, unworkable situations and unjustly punish business owners like Tom while destroying important gains women and girls have made over the past 50 years.

Indeed, Tom Rost’s case, in which Alliance Defending Freedom represents the funeral home, is just the tip of the iceberg.

Speaking as someone who has been digging into the broader aspects of this subject for some time now, I regret to say that this is probably just about the worst case you could pick to send to the Supreme Court, and not just because it looks likely to go against the defendants. The problems here are many, but the biggest one is the type of action that the employer is trying to engage in.

We’ve covered more transgender lawsuits here than I can count, but the big ones that have been of interest almost uniformly revolve around either issues of privacy or fairness, particularly in competitive sports. The former generally deal with public access to bathrooms, lockers, and showers while the latter focus on males identifying as females competing against actual women in sporting events. In all these cases, natural women and girls frequently come out on the losing end when they go before a judge.

In Harris Funeral Homes, while the issue of bathroom access comes up (and could be easily resolved) this primarily comes down to an employment opportunity question. What the owners have done is basically informed their employee that they can’t keep their job if they dress as the opposite sex. We shouldn’t be in the business of denying jobs to transgender workers, to begin with, and the court will probably read the case that way and find for the plaintiff.

Even worse, this case gives the Supremes an open invitation to ignore the larger, underlying questions we need answered and duck out of a sticky situation with a very narrow, tailored ruling. This case does nothing to address the question of whether or not “identifying” as the opposite gender actually makes you that other gender in the eyes of the law. It doesn’t force the justices to demand answers in terms of the “science” behind transgender claims. It doesn’t take into account the issues surrounding the natural physical advantages males have over females in competitive environments.

No, this case ignores all of that and allows the plaintiff to basically frame this as a question of whether or not the funeral home can force him to dress a certain way for work and fire him if he fails to comply. And of course, the answer to that question is no. It’s not a question of sloppy or inappropriate clothing. It’s gender-specific clothing. And as longs as the clothes are clean and professional-looking, you could no more fire a woman dressed in a suit, tie and trousers than you could a man wearing a gown. Nor should you.

What we need to see is one of these cases of men competing in women’s sports make it to the Supreme Court and attempt to force them to answer these question of whether or not these are actually women and how fair or unfair such competitions are. Don’t be shocked if the Supremes duck away from Harris Funeral Homes on those larger issues and treat this as an equal employment opportunity case. It’s what they love to do in the trickier social conflict cases (as well as with the Second Amendment) and they will almost certainly take that escape hatch here if it’s available.
