May 2021- Public Opinions

Dear Democrats, We Are Both Targeted

In the past few weeks there has been extensive national discussion of Georgia elections law SB202, "The Election Integrity Act of 2021”. Many of the comments by congressional Democrats, the White House, and business leaders have been pure disinformation. It’s as though they never read the Georgia law before their public wailing began.

As punishment for SB202, Joe Biden said he “would strongly support” Major League Baseball removing the All-Star Game from Atlanta. Biden called the Georgia law “Jim Crow on steroids,” and he said it's "all about keeping working folks and ordinary folks that I grew up with from being able to vote.” Had he actually read SB202, he would have known both claims were false. Biden also claimed that SB202 "ends voting hours early," which the lefty Washington Post's fact-checker gave a “Four Pinocchios” award, their worst rating.

Anyone who was living during the Jim Crow era knows how wildly evil those laws were. Comparing SB202 to Jim Crow laws is purely hateful lying. So, the MLB Commissioner has moved the All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver because he doesn’t accept “restrictions at the ballot box.” Clearly, he never read SB202, which has fewer voting restrictions than those of many other states- including Colorado. The Atlanta area will lose an estimated $100 million in business revenues and job earnings without the All-Star Game.

So, why would an ordinary elections law in one southern state create such a fuss? It’s because the Democrats need a “strawman” they can attack with disinformation to gin-up national support for their real objectives. One of those objectives is to pass the Democrats’ federal elections bill, H.R.1, corruptly mis-named “For The People Act of 2021”. It actually benefits ONLY Democrat candidates, not “The People”.

If enacted, H.R.1 would end critical safeguards that many of our 50 states have written into their voting laws. H.R.1 mandates that states must:
1. Ban Voter Photo ID,
2. Support trafficking of absentee ballots,
3. Weaken absentee voter ID verifications,
4. Weaken state control of voter rolls.

Democrats are also using “Jim Crow laws” to boost their chances of eliminating the filibuster in the US Senate. This practice was created long ago by our founders to ensure that the interests of the minority party were respected. Without filibuster and cloture, Democrats - even in a Senate divided 50 / 50 - could ram through any bone-headed law they choose, without any need for support from Republicans.

In a press conference, Joe Biden was asked pointedly if the Senate filibuster is a “Jim Crow relic.” Biden answered, "yes." Apparently, the Dems are happy to use the Jim Crow analogy to attack more than SB202. But as Guy Benson writes in Townhall, “Even left-leaning 'Politifact' admits that the filibuster was not invented in the Jim Crow era, and of course modern-day Democrats have used it promiscuously for decades.”

All of these Democrat actions taken together are in service of one objective that Dems will not discuss openly- a general disenfranchisement targeting native-born Republicans and many Democrats. We would be deprived of our right to a meaningful vote by millions of aliens who Joe Biden has invited to live here. If the Dems succeed, they will never need to worry about how we vote, because our votes won’t matter. This is the holy grail of the Democrat party’s long-range strategies.

Democrats are willing to let thousands of children stay in “cages” under far worse conditions than President Trump ever allowed. Those kids are future American citizens and Democrat voters. With a little work, each one of those illegal alien children will become an “anchor child” who could bring dozens of family members to America from the child’s home country- all of whom would vote for Democrats. As soon as possible, Biden will throw open our borders, and a flood of adult illegal aliens will also come here to stay.

But why should Democrats need any of this? What’s the reason for disenfranchising millions of legal citizens? The answer explains their need for “cancel culture” and “woke activism”: Democrats have learned that their values and programs do not win debates in the marketplace of ideas. Most Americans, black and white, Republican and Democrat, are fair-minded people. So policy mainstays of lefty Democrat politicians such as socialism, Green New Deal, killing the oil, gas and coal industries (making vehicle fuels and electric power VERY expensive), and borrowing trillions of dollars for federal programs (mainly benefitting Democrat politicians) are not attractive to fair-minded people.

Think about it- why else would Big Tech and the MainStream Media do everything they can to block stories, posts, and discussions of interest to conservatives and other fair-minded people? They know their Democrat friends would lose votes if those stories are free to spread across America, including to Democrat voters.

Please note that I have not pasted the word “FACT” after my statements. I work hard to find good information from reputable (i.e. conservative) news sources. Using lefty MainStream Media or Big Tech news sources for “FACTS” is irresponsible. (FACT)
