I vowed not to create new topics because a certain moderator takes them down in spite of following all the guidelines, and USMB doesn't seem interested to address the problem, but I have to ask people why they would vote Democrat? In light of recent events, it's clear that Democrats want a lawless society. Let's look at their stance when it comes to the protection of American citizens:
* The elimination of ICE, an agency that protects our borders and handles those who illegally enter our country.
* Cuts in military budgets, that weaken our military forces against aggressive nations.
* Disarm law abiding citizens, so we virtually have no real defense against the criminal element.
* Tabeling Kates Law, which would have given a stronger deterrent to deported felons who re-entered our country.
* And finally, Democrat Governors and Mayors, who want to defund their police force thus making them much less effective.
So why would anybody in their right mind vote for a candidate or party that takes these positions? Why in the world would you want to see a defenseless America? It truly baffles the mind. I don't care how much anybody hates President Trump. Imagine a country if the Democrats had their way.
Okay, let's break this down.
1. ICE/CUSTOMS/BORDER CONTROL/COAST GUARD: All are unwanted by the left. Reason: Many of the politicians that rant about these agencies, do so because they are puppets of the George Soros, "Free Movement of Peoples" movement. In this, there are no longer borders, just people moving from location to location without governmental interference. Some other politicians are pro-Marxist/Leninist ideologs. They believe in a one-party, all reaching, government that controls all aspects in our lives....."for our own good." Then there are a few on the left (old school Democrats) that just want all social services falling under the purview of the government, even though it's never been efficient and the elderly suffer for it.
2. Cuts in our military budget. Here again, we are looking at a couple of elements. One being, that the naĂŻve think the military should not receive massive funding, no matter what threats we might face, as the money in their eyes could be better spent on social services. The sort of Kumbaya crowd....formerly looked at as hippies. The other bunch are far more sinister. Communist Chinese agents and home grown Marxists have been growing here for decades. These individuals have gotten into our public and some private educational systems, spewing the Marxist ideology to young minds. It sounds like some nutty conspiracy theory....if only it were. The goal is to weaken the US through any and all means necessary. Presently, we have a presidential candidate who is so in bed with China, it's not funny and at one recent town hall, he publicly stated on camera that..."we don't need a standing army." China, seeing the growth of Marxism/Leninism here, is concerned that open rebellion by armed civilians might occur in the face of Communisms' growth here and has publicly stated that firearms in the hands of Americans is a problem. They don't want to see their work undermined by patriotic civilians.
3. I've kind of addressed the disarming of Americans briefly in my second paragraph. The left's politicians know that many millions of American citizens aren't out committing crimes with their firearms and that it's just the criminal and mentally disturbed elements that commit crimes with the firearms. To them, that isn't the point. If we look at each individual case of "mass shootings," we will find that the shooters were, for the most part, lefties, while others were mentally unstable teens, or terrorists. Your average citizen has no interest in committing crimes with guns. They hunt, use them for sport shooting, or just prefer to have a bit of personal security, should someone break into their homes at night. Others, like myself, I've been around guns since I was a kid and served a career in the military and know the true purpose of the Second Amendment. Anyway, the left and far left know that by disarming the American populace, you won't stop criminals from committing crimes, but that if they gain all three houses, they can implement any laws and with a disarmed populace, the populace can only complain, not truly rise up against the government...…..and then, it's welcome to Communism....and China and North Korea rejoice.
4. Tabling Kate's law is just the left's goal of getting in as many leftist migrants as possible and keeping them here for votes, even the criminal votes. It's all about the numbers. He/she who gets the most votes wins and those migrants being promised everything under the sun by the left, are potential voters. It still boils down to creating a leftist government that can't change. A one-party government, to govern all the people, in all aspects of their lives. Then of course, there still remains the George Soros puppets that believe in the Free Movement of Peoples with no national borders.
5. Last. Well, they believe that by allowing chaos to reign, it will somehow make the Orange Man look bad. If he steps in with federal troops across the nation, they will scream that he is being a tyrant and that they'll never get him out of office, no matter the elections. They'll also go after him for using Unconstitutional tactics interfering with what is a state's rights issue. Ultimately, it is again, a matter of dividing the nation. A classic ploy of Communism. Divide and conquer.
Solution? I think that we were wrong to stop listening to those that warned us against Communism in the past...Sometimes, being the good guy comes back and bites you in the ass. What do we do about it now, "after the horse has left the barn?" as they say. My solution would be a violation of the very Constitution we hold dear. Suspend the Constitution, seek out all Marxist/Leninists and forcibly drive them out of the country at the end of a bayonet. Stuff them on planes and ships and send them to their utopias and if China, North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba and Venezuela say they don't want them....sink the ships and shoot down the planes, for we sure as hell don't need them back here. Oh, and toss George Soros in the mix for the hell of it.
