Radical Social Agenda Now Costing the Democrats ‘Big League’
The Daily Signal ^ | 11-10-16 | Casey Mattox

Posted on 11/12/2016 11:01:26 AM PST by ReformationFan

Donald J. Trump is president-elect of the United States of America. Many, including me, never expected to read those words. But for many Democrats, this election result is unfathomable.

Many reasons exist for why Trump will swear the oath of office on January 20, 2017. But among them is the fact that the Democratic Party has become beholden to Planned Parenthood and the Human Rights Campaign, adopting a radical pro-abortion and anti-religious freedom agenda that leaves no opportunity for compromise.

Social conservatives supported Trump in the general election. And to his credit, Trump adopted clear pro-life and pro-religious liberty positions, seeking to justify their support.

The 2016 Republican Party platform is the most pro-life and pro-religious freedom it has ever been. But even so, it is no secret that many Christians and social conservatives were conflicted despite these stated positions. Many supported other candidates in the primaries, and Trump’s history and comments caused social conservatives who had consistently voted for Republican presidential candidates to at least hesitate to support the Republican nominee this time. In the aftermath of Trump’s victory, it’s easy to forget the potential danger that this posed to the Trump candidacy. The pro-life vote has been a key part of the Republican constituency for decades. A Republican presidential candidate who could not depend on overwhelming support from evangelical and Catholic, socially conservative voters would likely have been doomed.

Parties are formed to win elections. Throughout our political history, when party A senses that a core constituency of party B is dissatisfied with its “natural” party nominee, party A looks for ways to compromise and peel off those voters.

And putting Ellison at the head of the DNC won't help them - they have finally lost it big time and are in self-destruct mode.

We should repay their "favors" and encourage them to follow their agendas....

The biggest reason they lost was their FU attitude to middle class white voters. The Democrats have become an anti-white party. I’m a person of color myself, and watching everything regarding politics and social issues objectively, the anti-white narrative is so clear and blatant. If the Democrats keep tilting too far left then states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and even Minnesota will start turning purple on the electoral map in the future.

"But for many Democrats, this election result is unfathomable."

Misguided Democrats don’t elect a president. They either reelect an incumbent Santa Clause or elect a new Santa Clause. This is because low-information Democrats do not understand the following.

We must NEVER underestimate the liberals and their tactics. They are going for the throat by attempting to sway/convert the electoral votes to Hitlary, meaning this election is not yet over. When it is over, and Trump has been sworn in, it will be time to drop the hammer on them and the “deplorables” are RIPE to do just that. Enough of the is enough.

I’m of Latino ancestry-since 2003, I’ve happily wasted my college degree doing a blue collar job-Trump signs were on every gate out here in redneck country, no matter what color/ethnicity the property’s occupant is-the democrat party left the working and middle class folks of this country behind when they turned left and tried so hard to divide people and keep some on the plantations and on welfare...

The democrats should just admit they are communists and fly the hammer and sickle over their headquarters-they played their hand with Hillary-all but the koolaid drinkers see what they are now...

Ellison is a muslim. He thus worships by the Quran. The Quran has several verses that states infidels must be killed. We non-muslims are infidels. Therefore, logic would tell you that Ellison must subscribe to that whether you are a Democrat or Republican non-muslim. Muslims have the goal of a world-wide takeover and eliminating Christianity.

I suspect that they lost a lot of non-white voters (who either voted for Trump or didn’t vote at all) because they had an FU attitude towards working people - of all colors.

Whites should always vote Republican as long as affirmative action is allowed (and vote elsewhere if they won’t change it); white women for the time being feel they are safe from its effects, but the fact is that many can’t find marriage material or have families because of these policies. On top of that, many blacks are clamoring to have white women removed from preferences: They see no “disadvantage” for them (and will eventually get their way).

Your words hit the nail on the head. So you know I’m of Asian descent and have friends of all races. The bottom line is we’re all striving for the same things. We want good paying jobs, live comfortably and seek better things for our children. In other words, we want to enjoy the benefits of being an American. The Democrats seek to divide and conquer all of us, and have all of us live under their autocratic rule. I hope one day the majority of non-white Americans will stop seeing everything in terms of race, and realize the “American Dream” of attaining success is available for all of us and only we ourselves stand in the way of it!

I wonder if the commie Left made a strategic error.

The commie left was brilliant to work slowly and steadily to push the nation toward totalitarian tyranny.

Incrementalism.

Incrementalism is the word everyone used to describe the slow and relentless onslaught by the commie left to slow build toward absolute socialism.

Then in 2008, Obama was elected and had control of both the Senate and House. I saw a dramatic shift almost immediately, from the old incrementalism that worked, to a series of hail Mary moves that jumped America toward socialism. I remember noting to myself that the commie left and their media allies were really not even trying to cover up their agenda, but were becoming brazen in pursuing it.

While I admired how much Obama accomplished in that first 2 years, I also thought to myself that he is running a very serious risk of waking up the sleeping Giant that was the apathetic American voters who are usually undecided.

I think in the end, Obama woke them up and angered them.

Look at what Obama did in just a few years:

1. Obamacare.
2. The Muslim Spring, rise of Muslim Brotherhood and Isis.
3. Put commies on the supreme court.
4. Unilaterally violated immigration law for his Dreamers.
5. Fought to flood us with Muslim immigrants under the auspices of “refugees”.
6. Destroyed the coal mining industry.
7. Tried to destroy the natural gas industry.
8. Added $10 Trillion to the national debt.
9. Gutted the military.
10. Further destroyed the nuclear family while heavily promoting homosexuality
11. Released scores of the most dangerous terrorists held at Guantanamo.
12. Directed EPA to go wild destroying businesses and hamstringing projects
13. Stocked federal public service with communists and Muslims

He did so much so fast, I think he woke the American people and the wishy washy undecided middle most of all. And they began to reject the pace at which we were racing toward totalitarian tyranny.

Obama blew it. He should have continued to ease America toward communism slowly and steadily. By leaping for the brass ring so quickly, he wakened the sleeping giant and the result is that the commie Clinton lost miserably because her policies were just unpalatable to the undecides, who embraced Trump’s policies.

So now, are the wish washy undecided middle finally awakened for good, or are they going to go back to sleep in 2024 when Trump is done, and go back to voting for the socialist and marxist incrementalism?

We will find out.

Thank you Obama for being so bold and brazen. Thank you MSM for doing nothing to hide it, but for beating your chests and bringing attention to it. You woke a sleeping giant. Thanks. Good work. I owe you.

Since my family is from-and most still live in-a remote rural area, we are like all our assorted neighbors-rural people don’t have that clannish mindset found in so many big cities-people of the same race or ethnic group identifying with others like them and having contempt or hate for anyone outside their group-Obama and the democrats have taken relations between races and ethnic groups back at least 50 years, and we have got to put a stop to it.

We are all Americans-anyone who doesn’t want to interact and assimilate with other Americans needs to get on the first flight out, and go someplace else-and yeah, I’m talking about muslims in particular-those people are particularly intolerant, resistant to assimilation and prone to violence against those they don’t like for whatever reason-I don’t mind being a real bitch and saying I don’t think they should be allowed to come to America at all unless they are willing to assimilate and interact with the rest of us...

You might be interested in this. On July 2015 on ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos,” ex-Texas Governor and losing Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry said Donald Trump’s remarks about Mexican immigrants being rapist and criminals were “offensive.”

PERRY: “ I was offended by his remarks. Hispanics in America and Texas, from the Alamo to Afghanistan have been extraordinary people, citizens of our country and of our state. They have served nobly and to paint with that broad of a brush, like Donald Trump did, he’s going to have to defend those remarks. I never will. And I will stand up and say those were offensive, which they were.”... more at breitbart.com ...

Subversive Texas Textbooks---distributed nationwide--- vilify conservative groups;
leftist radicals urge use of police power on conservative groups

Breitbart Texas | 09/10/2014 | Merrill Hope / FR Posted by Rusty0604

In 2006, uber-liberal "Texas Rising" stated its mission: "developing an emerging generation of social justice-minded, informed and engaged leaders is essential to the long-term health of our communities and the development of progressive public policy in Texas."

...a sneak peak at the preliminary Social Studies textbook found including distortions, omissions and half-truths all passing for accurate high school US history...

And there's this gem: "The radical right consists of groups that sometimes gather under the flag of militant anticommunism. Often known as reactionaries, they denounce most forms of government regulation, including progressive taxation and restrictions and industry.

Texas Rising radical name examples of political groups on the radical right: John Birch Society, the National States & Rights party, The Christian Crusade, and the Tea Party movement.

Strangely enough, these cream puff radicals who abhor police power would not hesitate to use government police power to enforce the changes they desire. (Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...

THEN-GOV PERRY SUCKS UP TO LA RAZA

PERRY SUCKS-UP LIKE NO MAN BEFORE HIM Perry
showered illegals w/tax benefits....including tax dollars to
educate them to overthrow the US govt.

REFERENCE--- Some 10 years back, Texas schools started used Mexican textbooks for their backward illiterate Spanish-speaking students. Texas textbooks advocated the Mexican perspective including:

<><> anti-white, anti-capitalist anti-USA viewpoints;

<><> Mexican textbooks falsified US history,

<><> proselytized blood-thirsty La Raza savagery;

<><> using teaching as brainwashing;

<><> inculcating violent separatist, latino supremacy idealogy.

Texas Muslim---Serial Killer of Christians---on Disability and Food Stamps,
had Diamonds and 200 Credit Cards Hidden on Texas property
Front Page Magazine | 6/20/2014 | Daniel Greenfield / FR Posted by Dqban22

This sort of thing is surprisingly common among Muslims -very few seem to have jobs but they drive around in luxury cars and are well-dressed and fed. The only reason this case came to light is because the Texas Muslim refugee committed two murders in Texas, one of which he actually got away with.

The murder of Christian believer, Gelareh Bagherzadeh, was reported earlier. Gelareh Bagherzadeh was an Iranian Christian who came to this country only to be murdered by a Muslim because she encouraged his daughter to marry the man she loved.

The Texas Muslim claimed he was too disabled to work. But he wasn't too disabled to kill.

BACKSTORY The Texan, a strict Muslim, was furious when his Jordanian-American daughter married a man without his permission. The Muslim, Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan, blamed his daughters husband, relatives say. They say he also faulted one of her closest friends, 30-year-old Gelareh Bagherzadeh, a Christian convert who widely denounced Islam.

<><> First Christian-believer Bagherzadeh was killed, gunned down outside her parents Texas Galleria townhouse complex in January 2012.

<><> Eleven months later, Irsan’s son-in-law died after being shot multiple times in northwest Texas, in the Harris County apartment he shared with his wife.

The Texas Muslim thought he could get away with murdering because he had already gotten away with so many other things in Texas.

Federal authorities executed a search warrant at Irsan’s sprawling, 5-acre property 40 miles north of Houston, where they allegedly found cash, diamonds, pearls, weapons and phony passports hidden in attic rafters, in secret compartments throughout a cluster of trailers and outbuildings and even inside the buried drum of a clothes dryer at the Conroe, Texas property.

The Muslim Irsan, his wife Shmou Ali Alrawabdeh, and another daughter were subsequently arrested on a variety of federal fraud charges and are in federal custody.

A federal criminal complaint detailing the discoveries recounts a saga of nearly 20 years in which Irsan, the 57-year-old naturalized citizen from Jordan, and his family, allegedly scammed taxpayer disability assistance funds claiming “fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptoms,” and “affective disorders” while secreting real estate, vehicles and cash in US and foreign bank accounts.

The complaint also alleges the Muslim Irsan:

<><> was receiving taxpayer funds for a son not living in the US,

<><> maintained several addresses on the property to facilitate various schemes, and,

<><> once disabled a safety feature on a saw then purposefully cut himself to receive a $75,000 settlement.

The Muslim was certainly industrious and entrepreneurial, just not quite in the way amnesty advocates like to claim.

Also found on the property was a makeshift gun range, which witnesses said “five or six Muslim families” frequently visited to fire AK-47s and information about Irsan’s attempts to get a silencer. Nothing to do with Islam I’m sure.

The rest of the scam ...... While there have been no allegations of terrorist ties regarding the Muslim familys alleged (a) foreign bank accounts, and, (b) suspicious wire transactions, Irsan’s strict adherence to radical Islam may have been a motive in the alleged murders.

Authorities are also re-examining a 1999 case in which Irsan was not indicted after claiming self-defense in the shooting of son-in-law Amjad Alidam, who was married to Nasemah Rachelle Irsan.

Prosecutors also revealed, in connection to the social security fraud and credit card charges against Irsan, that they found more than 200 credit cards with various names and multiple variations of his own name throughout the home.

Arresting officers say they also found more than 40 similar credit cards in his wallet the morning he was arrested. His daughter also alleges, among multiple other schemes detailed in court documents, that Ali Irsan purposely disabled the safety device on a Ryobi rotary saw and purposely cut his own foot. Prosecutors say he used that injury to receive a $75,000 settlement from the manufacturer.

CIRCA 2003---ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Gov Perry addresses the Aga Khan: “It is a great honor to be in the presence of the Imam of 16 million Muslims around the world, a global humanitarian leader, a man of peace with a pluralistic vision for people around the world, His Highness, the Aga Khan, the 49th Hereditary Imam of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims.

Your Highness, on behalf of 23 million Texans, and over 600,000 thousand Muslims living in Texas, I extend our heartfelt appreciation for your 50 years of great international leadership."

"We are delighted to welcome you to the Lone Star State and participate in the celebration of your Golden Jubilee. I am also grateful to the many federal, state and local leaders in attendance tonight. By their presence, these special guests convey the profound respect that exists in the Western World for His Highness’ work and leadership.”

In April 2004, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) and Univ of Texas-Austin finalized a grant proposal that created the partnership that became known as the Muslim Histories and Cultures Program (MHC).

MHC recruited and directly trained 80 teachers affecting approximately 15,150 students of World History and World Geography in ten key Texas districts in 2005 and 2006.

The purpose is two-fold 1) to fulfill Governor Rick Perry’s desire to better educate Texas teachers on Muslim topics and 2) to train teachers to use a cultural lens approach to understanding other cultures.

Governor Perry was instrumental in getting this program off the ground (and was helpful in getting a triumphal mosque built in Texas and placing Sharia Law in the Texas justice system). ####
