What Happened to Teaching Our Children the Golden Rule—In Words and Deeds?
By: Steve Pomper (LifeZette)
Remember when most Americans, even non-religious, taught their children the Golden Rule ? “Do to others what you would have them do to you….” It May seem corny, or naïve, but isn’t it also true? Isn’t this premise foundational for a peaceful culture? But what are radical leftists teaching their children by their words and deeds, especially this past year? If they’re treating others the way they’d like to be treated, then they are sadists.
With the holiday season upon us, I wondered more than usual what some kids are learning about how to treat others. I recall, before the far-left radicals took over the Democratic Party, when the Left and Right still had virtues in common. Most people on both sides enjoyed American traditions, including Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even with today’s political rancor, 93 percent of Americans say they celebrate Christmas.
When leftist radicals crack Trump supporters over the head for wearing MAGA hats, is that how he or she would like to be treated? When leftist rioters loot and then burn Target, Walmart, or the little mom & pop shop on the corner, is that how they’d like others to treat them? What is that behavior teaching their children?
How does the radical left justify their evil deeds? They conflate an American president with Hitler and pretend it’s 1930s – 40s Nazi Germany. Then they imply, what wouldn’t a person have done to stop such a tyrant? The obvious problem: their fantasy crashes into historical facts and truths. Think what you want about President Trump, but you’re an imbecile if you believe he is like Hitler or any other mass-murdering despot. And you insult the suffering European Jews went through when you make such comparisons and trivializations of the true horrors of the Holocaust.
But what have the Democrats, (and speaking of pretending) and “president-elect” Joe Biden done or not done to uphold the Golden Rule? They have never condemned the leftist radicals’ destruction and violence in any real way. In fact, Kamala Harris has facilitated it, contributing money to bail out rioters. The closest you can get Democrats to denounce the rioting is they say they condemn “all violence.” That’s too easy, folks. It’s obvious 99 percent of the violence and destruction is committed by leftist militants.
This year, using the CCP virus as an excuse, some states and cities run by Democrats have launched an all-out assault on the important American traditions mentioned above. And they’re doing it by exploiting Americans’ trust. First, they are manipulating a “pandemic” to allow the government to abridge the people’s constitutional rights. Second, they are marginalizing—demonizing—cops who are necessary to maintain a peaceful society. The Great Reset , right?
The truth will come out about the exploitative and unconstitutional nature of these CCP virus edicts. Just as we now know what FDR attempted during the Depression (among his political mischief, attempting to stack the Supreme Court). Some may never accept the Democrats manipulated a “health crisis” for political purposes. But this is so provable: it is blue state/city governors/mayors imposing the Draconian edicts, and red state/city governors/mayors are teaching kids about treating people as they’d like to be treated.
Blue: Lockdown vs. Red: Liberty.
Blue: Cuomo, Whitmer, Murphy, Wolf, Newsom, Inslee, Brown, Lightfoot, etc.
Red: De-Santis, Noem, Burgum, Abbott, Edwards, Reeves, Hutchinson, Reynolds, etc.
