Can America Survive the Latest Plague? OP
A mob of foreigners planning to march across the United States border knowing in advance that numerous sanctuary cities will break federal law and welcome them in. Unidentified individuals being allowed to vote in U.S. elections, riots at universities with the intention of preventing any discussion that does not agree with theirs. These realities are all happening now and are all symptoms of a political plague that has been visited upon America and most of Europe.
In 430 B.C., Greece was hit by smallpox. In 1347, Europe contended with the "Black Death." And today, America and much of Western civilization are facing leftism. Not the traditional pathogen seen in earlier plagues, but nevertheless all contagious and deadly.
The primary vehicles used to spread this insidious cognitive disorder at alarming rates consist of a leftist propaganda network known as the mainstream media, and indoctrination to leftist ideals via an overpriced monopolized leftist education system. And like many infections that use the resources of the host to destroy the host, leftism perverts America's justice system, corrupting weak elected officials and brainwashing tens of thousands of young adults, all in an effort to decimate the freedoms of the Republic.
Even with its distorted knowledge of human nature, a defective version of history, and a prolific case of massive immaturity, leftism continues to thrive and push ahead, with its suicidal progressive agenda relying on ignorance and gullibility.
A clear example of this exploitation is where the left has managed to distort the Bill of Rights into its own bastardized version in an attempt to eliminate liberty, limit free speech, and end the right of the individual to defend against oppression. The left survives within a self-made mirage that uses well written speeches containing caring and poetic language and emotional appeals that appear to be on the side of good, protecting the weak and needy in society. But in fact, the left exploits and manipulates both weak and poor to continue to remain in power. Consider the infected American cities of Detroit, Baltimore, and Chicago, where the left has total control and can implement whatever programs it wants, and look at the result: perpetual devastation, crime, and misery. California, a once wealthy and successful state, is now an insolvent laughingstock of the world.
Once infected with leftist ideas, an individual's perception of reality becomes similar to that of a five-year-old. His worldview is filtered through projection and hypocrisy. The left preaches free speech, inclusiveness, and tolerance but omits the part about those qualities applying to those who agree with the leftist agenda. The left calls conservatives violent when it is leftists themselves who are seen throwing stones, breaking windows, and setting cars on fire. And the left says it cares about those wanting to leave a lawless country by crossing into a law-abiding America, but they conveniently forget the fact that such action ignores American laws, is unfair to immigrants who followed the rules, and lays the foundation of participation in American society with the crime of illegal entry.
Liberalism has been around a long time and has evolved, but this new strain of radical leftism is something new, and if the CDC could pinpoint its emergence, President Barack Obama would most likely be identified as Patient Zero.
Ignoring this new plague is like neglecting cholera; not the answer and only invites a global pandemic that will be much harder if not impossible to stop. Cures such as revamping the high school and college curricula to incorporate American history and conservative ideas, the establishment of conservative mainstream media outlets, and efforts to promote traditional values within the entertainment industry are available, but the sooner, the better.
While conservatives are busy with raising families and working hard to create and maintain a functioning society, leftists are busy exploiting entitlements that give them the financial resources which allow them the time needed to plan against, protest, and fight conservative values. Getting the country back into a healthy state is not a certainty, and the process will be a long uphill battle. The first steps must be taken soon. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/04/can_america_survive_the_latest_plague.html

WARNING! Virol Conservative Vitriol. BEWARE!
If they march over the border and right into the fields then fine with me.
Yep. One thing the rightists can't seem to understand is that the price of produce will skyrocket with no illsgals.
Well if you feel they deserve minimum wage then you no doubt feel then should be able to vote as well, yes?
We wouldn't need foreign workers in American fields if American workers were paid competitive wages.
Forty years ago I made $5.00 an hour for hard farm labor. Those jobs pay about $5.00 today though...
That five buck an hour I got way back then would equal to about forty to buy the same things in 2018.
When they become citizens then sure.
Exactly, Americans won't do it so if illegals want to them I am more than happy to let them.
How so?
You have me confused with someone else. It is producers who dictate low field wages and hire...
An adequate living wage to employ someone to cook my meals should be about $35 to $40/Hr.
I do not eat fast food. Almost all the fine food I eat is prepared at home. Ingredients are cheap.
No. I do not. It is those who hire illegal foreign workers who cause the problem and do so for cheap labor.
By all rights fruits, vegetables and other farm products are priced too low because of cheap foreign labor...
And, if American producers paid competitive American wages they would have no problem finding workers.
Because they won't work if you don't?
Bummer people will finally have to pay what it is worth!
Where is the conservative support for $15.00 minimum wage? They won't pay that to American citizens. Do you understand that Americans aren't going to work in the field picking fruits/veggies for 12 hours a day? Even legal aliens get better jobs after they get their green card. Why do you think that slavery was popular for picking cotton and other antebellum crops? Those slaves were the first illegal immigrants but brought her again their will to work for free so the plantation owners could profit.
No country gets along without aliens to do the work that the native citizens won't. Turks and Indians are the common immigrant laborers in Europe.
America is a nation built of immigrants so I don't have a problem with immigrant labor. Let them come here and work to make them full citizens.
I'd rather that we all work together as a global community to solve the problems in their home country that push them to emigrate, but that is a long-term solution that ignores the current immigration crisis.
"A mob of foreigners planning to march across the United States border knowing in advance that numerous sanctuary cities will break federal law and welcome them in."
BS. The number of border crossings are down from even the Obama years where he lowered the number of undocumented immigrants by over 1 million.
"Unidentified individuals being allowed to vote in U.S. elections"
BS. There is no evidence of large numbers of undocumented immigrants voting. The .02% of voter fraud found has never been found to ever have effected the outcome of any election.
"riots at universities with the intention of preventing any discussion that does not agree with theirs."
The students at schools are allowed to protest the use of their campus for ideological proselytizing. Just because some students don't want to hear from you doesn't mean your freedom of speech has been infringed.
"These realities are all happening now and are all symptoms of a political plague that has been visited upon America and most of Europe."
The real plague being visited upon us is the lying despicable deplorable commander in-competent who has taken a dump on our nation and made us a laughing stock around the world.
"consist of a leftist propaganda network known as the mainstream media, and indoctrination to leftist ideals via an overpriced monopolized leftist education system"
First, reality has a liberal bias. Second, the supposed monopolized education system is merely attempting to teach facts while some half wits want to inject their fantasy religions and conservative ideology while at the same time ridiculing higher education.
The earth is not 6,000 years old. Geology does not support a global flood. Trickle down economics doesn't work. The civil war was over slavery and the South lost regardless of what the poorly educated neo-confederates would have you believe. Evolution is fact based as is global climate change. Scientific theory is not the same as religious theory. Antifa has never driven their car into a crowd of protesters murdering and maiming people, bombed clinics, murdered black Americans in a church, shot abortion doctors in the head, conservative alt-right group members have proving which group is actually the violent one. Multiple members of Trumps campaign team and administration have been arrested, plead guilty or are being subpoenaed, none of Obama's campaign team or administration have. The alternate universe conservatives now exist in is one of lies and misinformation all to prop up the most incompetent narcissistic moron to ever have occupied the oval office and requires loyalty pledges which obviously his followers have signed considered they've claimed they would continue to support Trump even if he shot someone in the street. They are the conservative fascist party of Trump and have abandoned their morals and self respect long ago and have only hypocrisy to cling to. Sad.
Trumps voter fraud panel dispanded a couple months ago...they didnt find a damn thing much less 3 MILLION illegal votes. Trump spent taxpayer dollars on a snipe hunt to protect his paper thin ego.
So why can't the Democrats win elections anymore? The intelligent , educated, and rational citizens have rejected your party of hate and intolerance by large and growing numbers..
"The real fraud is that politicians use false claims of "voter fraud" to sell Americans on policies that disenfranchise Americans: policies such as strict voter-ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements, reckless voter purges, and restrictions on voter registration efforts."
Us District Court Judge James D Peterson said of voter ID laws, “The evidence in this case casts doubt on the notion that voter ID laws foster integrity and confidence. The Wisconsin experience demonstrates that a preoccupation with mostly phantom election fraud leads to real incidents of disenfranchisement, which undermine rather than enhance confidence in elections, particularly in minority communities. To put it bluntly, Wisconsin’s strict version of voter ID law is a cure worse than the disease.”
“The new provisions target African Americans with almost surgical precision” and “impose cures for problems that did not exist,” said Judge Diana Gribbon Motz
So vote fraud almost never happens, some 31 examples of it in over a billion votes while tens of thousands, possibly even hundreds of thousands of eligible voters are intentionally disenfranchised by partisan bigots who know minorities and the poor are more likely to vote against them. Conservative Republicans have no shame left, it's been proven they'll curb stomp the elderly and minorities ability to vote if it helps them win an election.
The disenfranchisement of Democrat voters along with the ridiculous gerrymandering by Republicans has tilted the elections in their favor over the last few years. We still won the popular vote by more than 3 million but due to targeted disenfranchisement Republicans squeaked out an electoral win. I admit, it would be far easier to win elections if Democrats would abandon their principles, morals and self respect as Republicans have done, but most don't consider that an option. For unscrupulous Republicans and evangelicals the ends justify the means, but their wins are only temporary as they continue to lose the next generation of voters who see them for what they are.
It is usually old poor folks who mostly get disenfranchised. She had the resources to get a lawyer and to go to court but my ancient mother who was born on a farm and who never had a birth certificate would not have been issued a state ID had she not been able to get a judge to certify her citizenship. We are talking about a prominent prosperous white woman who taught public school in the same town for over forty years. When the state mandates strict paperwork requirements it inevitably eliminates some eligible voters. In any case despite graduating university, traveling overseas as a serviceman's wife and teaching public schools for forty years she could not get a passport nor a photo ID without a provisional birth certificate which took going to court at great expense to acquire. How many others who are not so well off have been denied? I can assure you that poor black and brown American citizens in rural areas are much more likely to be undocumented than many realize. There is no compelling evidence of in person voter fraud excuses what has been done unnecessarily to our local voter systems that worked just fine sans all these requirements which were not adopted to stop in-person voter fraud but rather to stifle legal voting by those some think will not vote how they want. The gop.
What difference do a few poor old rural folks make? It doesn't matter. They should not be disenfranchised...
Gerrymandering, unmotivated voters, stupid voters and don't care voters.
No....your party has illegally set up voting districts to skew elections your way......My home state Pennsylvania has a Democratic electoral majority of 1,200,000 voters.....In the 2010 midterms, the republicans took control of the state house.......This democratic leaning state then had their congressional districts redrawn to give the republicans a 13-5 permanent majority in the congressional delegation. The five democratic seats got 90% democratic votes and the 13 republican seats got about 53-55% reliable republican votes.
Its not going to happen anymore. The state supreme court reset the districts to reflect the voter registration in the state... this year it will probably split 10-8 in favor of democrats unless the republican districts rebel against Trump {Connor Lamb's victory a few weeks ago makes this a real possibility even though that district won't exist in November}. The SCOTUS wouldn't hear the republican objection to the change which will probably signal the end of other states illegal gerrymandering.
Overall, it is estimated that up to 30 seats could switch nationwide just based on changes in illegal gerrymandering. It won't be the democrats that are in trouble but the republicans who may become an endangered species.
Seems like the Dems have won all the special elections under our new Fuhrer.
So when you can't refute the facts or the Washington Post you resort to dismissive labeling and petty false conjecture. Assuming I have anything to do with Sore-ass is like assuming all conservatives are Koch suckers.
They sucked a lot of Koch..
Intersting that you bring up the plague in 1347... Did you know that Christians rounded up and executed 80% of the Jews in Europe because they thought the Jews were spreading the Plague?
Perhaps the "mobs of foreigners" invading us are arriving to save America. Seeing as how the current crop of Trumpers are in a selfish denial of what America represents.
This country is overpopulated now, last thing we need is more people
On that I agree. Why is the Trump Administration attacking birth control?
Birth control and abortion are the other parts of the answer
Gorsuch.
gawd
That is right. I forgot. Gorsuch came from heaven.
OK but I did not open that door only responded to another post
LOL! Why not, Trump is our fault too!
Now that comment was really brilliant....Sounds like something you'd hear from a graduate of the Betsy DeVos home schooling university.
I just did. And it ain't quantum physics.
I didn't violate the CoC XX.....Sad that you can't tell the difference from someone being called out for a violation and filthy language and the person doing the ''calling out''....You should spend some time working on that problem...
LOL, English as a second language...Come on XX...I didn't say you said I vlolated the CoC...Take your time and re read your comment and my comment again. Perhaps getting a mulligan will help you understand the comment the second time around.
Google Gorsuch. Check out his past court decisions. His writings on those decisions.
