The progressives' game plan
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
The "progressives'" game plan to re-acquire power in Washington and make it permanent has been shockingly obvious for some time:
Import millions of illegal immigrants, hook them on government aid and turn them into voters – legally or illegally.
Two Democrats running for Congress in Texas have come out for decriminalizing illegal immigration, along with Beto O'Rourke, who is running for Ted Cruz's U.S. Senate seat. Virtually all Democratic office holders oppose voter ID laws.
In March, Nation magazine writer Sean McElwee called for abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE), a demand repeated by "progressives" around the country.
The Washington Post has editorialized against adding a question about citizenship to the U.S. Census, saying it looks "suspiciously like an underhanded way to depress Democratic representation in Washington."
Districts with high numbers of illegal aliens who cannot legally vote have an advantage because the Census determines congressional seats and presidential electors based on population. So, the more illegals, the merrier for Democrats.
The Dems must replace the American electorate because their plunge into "free" government healthcare, "free" college tuition, open borders, confiscatory taxes, anti-police rhetoric, activist judges and bizarre sexual politics is alienating more and more "everyday" Americans.
The left needs new voting blocs. It's the only way they'll stay competitive, especially when the Trump administration has the economy roaring like a Ferrari.
Millions of evangelical Christians and moderate-to-conservative Catholics voted for Mr. Trump because they saw him as their best bet against a hostile Deep State and its media allies. Portions of the IRS, the FBI and other federal agencies had been criminally politicized under President Obama, and Hillary Clinton would have finished the job.
With state power unchecked since the Reagan years, Uncle Sam has morphed into Nurse Ratched, presiding over a giant sanitarium. That's the issue ignored by the media: Democrats are at war with normalcy of any kind and want to impose their cracked view of reality on the rest of us.
Do you think the U.S. Constitution, moored in Judeo-Christian values, helped make America the freest, most prosperous nation in history? You're a bigot. Do you think men and women have biological, emotional and social differences naturally reflected in everyday life, and that marriage requires a man and a woman? You're crazy or a hater or both.
Government at all levels under the ruling elites has turned into a monster that forces people to lie to avoid unfounded charges of bigotry. Mr. Trump’s unexpected election has thrown a wrench into the grand plan, hence the rage on the Left.
Speaking of rage, this past week’s Senate hearings for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court have left no doubt about the Democrats’ desperation. Not only did prominent senators egg on nutty protesters who came dressed in all manner of weirdness and were carted out after screaming at Judge Kavanaugh, but the senators themselves interrupted the proceedings dozens of times, beginning 10 seconds into the hearing. In an effort to delay the nomination until after the November election, they are demanding more documents, even though they have already received more than a million pages -- five times the number submitted on behalf of the last two nominees.
Over the past few years, the new normal has been advanced mostly by changing the fundamental meaning of words. Government spending is “investment.” Taxes are “revenue.” Abortion is “choice” and marriage has been denatured. In Virginia, Fairfax County public schools have adopted the phrase “sex assigned at birth.” Did a boy pop out of the womb? Not so fast. That could really be a girl. Never mind the evidence.
Nearly all gender-confused children straighten out by late adolescence – unless the child is pushed into identifying with the opposite sex. Without buying into delusion, you can love and sympathize with people who believe they were born in the "wrong" body. But the laws fashioned by the left mandate acceptance and even celebration.
New York City's Commission on Human Rights three years ago criminalized biologically grounded pronouns. Business people, landlords and others who offend a transgendered person face fines up to $250,000.
In California, the Democrat-controlled legislature enacted a law signed by Gov. Jerry Brown that can send healthcare workers to prison if they decline to use pronouns preferred by patients.
This is not just a wrinkle. It's a major threat to freedom of conscience. As Jennifer Roback Morse, author of The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies Are Destroying Lives and Why the Church Was Right All Along, warns: "If the government can make you say, 'Bruce Jenner is a woman,' they can make you say anything."
Abigail Shrier wrote in The Wall Street Journal this past week, "For those with a religious conviction that sex is both biological and binary, God's purposeful creation, denial of this involves sacrilege no less than bowing to idols in the town square." Where's the prophet Daniel when we need him?
Even if they don't connect all the dots between the Democrats' radical policies and the steady march toward totalitarianism, many American "deplorables" are reacting instinctively. They may wince at Mr. Trump's smashmouth tweets and checkered past, but they know a champion for their values when they see one. Which is why the left would like to acquire a whole new American electorate by any means.

Progressive game plan? Pronoun punishment?
Whatever. The right wing will take away the birth control, impoverish the nation, create a tiered economic class system and assure that certain people can never be prosecuted.
Kavanaugh is a facsimile of a Roland Freisler. A protector of imperial power.
That's funny, they've been in power for 2 years and the economy is roaring, the middle class is being restored, birth control is safe as we are and you still need a crime to prosecute somebody!
That's what's killing them. Trump did so well.
Can't wait.
Good thing I have a gun safe full of "Automatic weapons" to keep my family and I safe.
Reading HA's endless parade of daily conservative "grievances" , it is obvious who the real snowflakes are.
Can you show us on a doll where President Trump hurt you?
Another "I fantasize about progressives and then argue against my own fantasies" seed... I would say it's a straw man, but apparently saying that a thing is what it is... is a CoC violation...
The Democratic Party has been buying votes with government aid for 70 years. I'd feel marginally better about it if they'd just admit it.
If that is true then why are the poorest parts of the US also republican strongholds?
And yet any time a Republican says we have too many people on Food Stamps, some Democrat says that's racist. Why do you suppose that is?
We need to end the unconstitutional federal food stamp program. And no American with any sense of personal responsibility shouldever get food stamps
" Rural residents also have disproportionately benefited from these entitlements (62%), compared with urban (54%) or suburban (53%) dwellers."
"And when the lens shifts to political ideology, the survey finds virtually no difference in the share of conservatives (57%), liberals (53%) or political moderates (53%) who have been assisted by at least one entitlement program ."
Looks like the facts show more rural conservatives rely on federal and State entitlements than do urban liberals and progressives.
I guess that bullshit narrative often repeated by ignorant rural conservatives of it being the other way around will finally get dropped because the facts don't support it. Oh who am I kidding, they've never let facts stop them from their faux outrage and baseless indignation before, why should anyone believe they'll stop now.
Oooooo, now you've done it. Used those damn facts against them again. Yer in fer it. Prepare for the massive whine fest coming your way.
What in my comment makes you think I was saying anything about white people, black people, or any particular color? This is your own obsession with race.
That doesn't tell us anything about Democratic strategies to win votes or why people vote for the party they vote for. All it says is that if you're handing out free money, anyone will take it.
We all make do in the system that exists. In the same way, plenty of rich leftists who think the rich should pay more taxes, never do so voluntarily and always take as many tax breaks as they can.
How is the safety net unconstitutional when we have the General Welfare Clause in the US Constitution? Aid for the poor predates the constituition, so your claim is laughasble.
Should the poor, people trying to support a family on minimum wage jobs, the disabled, veterans, and aged be told to starve rather than get help?
Churches are made up predominantly of the middle class and the poor so they don't have the resources to help out all of the needy people in times of econiomic crisis because they are the biggest sector of people who are unemployed. Even in good times religious groups are able to help less than 5% of needs. That is why the safety net exists because it was necessary in the Great Depression. There are fewer and fewer people attending church so what are the poor and hungry supposed to do? Does your sect of Christianity oppose the Golden Rule in its many forms, or does that only apply on Sunday when you are thumping the pulpit?
Social conservatives want to force women to carry the fetus to term instead of having an abortion, so those same conservatives have the responsibility to support those children until they are 18 or even older. You claim that you are pro-life and that idea doesn't end at the start of the 4th trimester, unless you want to tell the truth and admit that you are no pro-life but instead are forced birth.
I've seen that racist dog whistle before that Democrats use welfare dollars to buy minority votes. Conservatives love to make the asinine claim of blacks being forced to live on the Democratic plantation.
I didn't say anything about minorities either. This is all your delusion, and not rooted in anything I said.
You just love to call people racists, huh.
Oh, you're forgetting about the extreme rightwing UN-constitution that exists solely in the heads of people who don't have the faintest idea what's in or not in the U.S. Constitution. In that Un-constitution are listed all the things that they want to be unconstitutional.
Nice pastor, remember this,
You did refer to minorities when you suggested Democrats using welfare dollars to buy votes. Stop trying to dance around the racist dog whistles and just admit it.
I don't have a problem with the UN Declaration of Human Rights. I support it 100%. Humans need to start acting like a worldwide community if we are to survive on this planet and not destroy ourselves because of our own shortsighted greedy actions.
They only preach those things. They don't practice them.
I only call people out on their racism when they post racist dog whistles and support racist politicians or policies.
You're not calling anyone out on anything. It's all just sanctimonious posturing. The boy who cried "wolf" is more reliable than your assessment of whether or not someone is racist. I made a comment that didn't have race in it anywhere and you're the only one who wants to talk about race. Next time you get ready to call someone the r-word around here, please look in the mirror first.
No epistte. Tell the truth. You were the first person to bring skin color into this conversation.
And you can stop trying to tell me what to do, too. You're kind of a bully with your name calling.
I know, I've seen it too many times in my life, they preach Jesus and, live the Devil, catch them out of church services and, you would think they were the Liberals they claim to hate, the ones they talk about on here so often.
We feed 10s of thousands every week. Christians are required as you noted to help the needy. But nowhere does Jesus teach to have your earnings forcibly seized to do so. Nor are we to glorify government rather than God
as Jesus not in the passssges, we give as if unto Jesus Himself which makes it part of our worship.
we refuse to worship government instead of Christ
"Render unto Caesar what is Caesars and, unto God what is Gods." Jesus, he was holding up a Roman coin at the time, the question to him was about paying tribute to Rome, by the way, that would be tax. So, yes, Jesus advocated for paying taxes to the government so, taxes are not "forcibly seizing" anything.
