Tucker Carlson, astute observer of the political scene, provided a disquieting disquisition last evening.
On the one hand, there has certainly been a diminution of the drumbeat by the Democrats claiming collusion between Trump and the Russians, but that has been balanced by increase in the chants of 'impeachment.'
Mr. Carlson was able to provide the broader panoply in his opening.
It is worth the six or seven minutes of your time, and I provided the main points, here.
1. Tucker relates the President's clear position: there was no collusion with the Russians, and he did not pressure James Comey to drop the investigation of his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn.
2. "The Left badly wants to remove Donald Trump from office, not with votes in the next election, as you typically see in working democracies, but they want to remove him today, using legal action, impeachment, or protests....it doesn't really matter....by any means necessary....mostly because they used to be in power but aren't any more.
3. What happens if they get their way.....worth thinking about because the Democratic Party of today bears almost no resemblance to the Democratic Party of ten years ago.
It has changed in ways that ought to worry you.
4. ...it is a political movement organized around 'identity politics'...the idea that every American is a member of a sub-group, usually a racial group
5. The point of achieving power is to win spoils for that group.
Another word for this is 'tribalism.'
6. Dennis Prager, in his book 'Still The Best Hope,' put it this way:
a. Left refers to the values associated with the Western welfare state, secularism and the vast array of attitudes and positions identified as Left from Karl Marx to contemporary socialist democrat parties and today’s Democratic Party in the United States. The Left-wing ‘trinity’= race, gender, class.
b. American is identified by the “American Trinity” of “Liberty,” “In God We Trust,” and “E Pluribus Unum.” Liberty refers to personal freedom, based on small government , a free economy, and a God-based society. ,” “In God We Trust,” proceeds from the moral values axiomatic with the Founders. “E Pluribus Unum.” refers to a society based on neither ethnicity nor race.
The Right aims to bring Americans together.
The Left sees its power magnified by playing one group against another.
