Democrats Launch New Slogan That Mirrors Communist China’s
Newsweek ^ | August 9, 2017 | By Jason Le Miere

Posted on 08/09/2017 12:58:00 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Thirty Democrats disillusioned with their party’s struggles in Middle America have unveiled a new group aimed at expanding its base beyond just the two coasts. The initiative, which comprises current and former mayors, governors, cabinet members and lawmakers, comes complete with a catchy new title, “New Democracy.”

If that name sounds familiar, it’s because it was the same as that given by Mao Zedong to his theory of democracy in Communist China.

“In a word, new-democratic culture is the proletarian-led, anti-imperialist and anti-feudal culture of the broad masses,” Mao wrote on New Democracy in 1940, nine years before coming to power in China.

Comparisons with Communist China are unlikely to help the group of Democrats achieve their aim of reversing a series of losses the party has suffered at both the federal and state level.

I think this is the second time they’ve done something like this. It seems like they stole one of Stalin’s or Lenin’s themes as their slogan. Was it “Forward” or “Progress” or something like that?

They seem to be having a little difficulty coming up with a new slogan. First Papa Jon and now Mao

The Dems are trying to emulate Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) in China.

They have sent out young activist to destroy our Republic, and destroy anything that disagrees with their concept of reality (BLM. WSM, Anarchist, and other socialist activist).

We have been going through a “cultural revolution”. Unfortunately the MSM has been at the vanguard of the movement for a long time, and educators have gone down that “shining path”. There has always been voices that have spoken truth, but like Tail Gunner Joe, they are usually marginalized and ridiculed.

It has been an open attempt to change morality, the underpinnings or Western Civilization, and our history.

Those who control the means of communication, control what is known, what is expected, and what is “truth”. Thank God for Trump's tweets. Thank God for forums such as this.

For all their arrogance liberals are stupid. They are incapable of creativity. All we see are rehashes. Old updated propaganda efforts to disguise their tired old system of bigotry, hate and oppression

Socialist Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis correctly pointed out (imo) that the states were laboratories of democracy.
Laboratories of democracy

So the socialists should be trying to sell their social experiments to the states, not the feds.

Then, if some states come up with winning healthcare programs for example, then the rest of the states can either “borrow" formulas for successful programs, or possibly amend the Constitution for a national program.

On the other hand, those socialist states who shoot themselves in both feet and can’t pay their “rent” to Uncle Sam (taxes), can once again become Congress-controlled US Territory, their star removed from the flag.

Note that before the states can start conducting meaningful experiments with social spending programs, citizens must work with Trump to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that the corrupt feds cannot justify under Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

Once unconstitutional federal taxes are stopped, then the states will be able to afford to conduct meaningful experiments with democracy.

Drain the swamp sewer! Drain the sewer!

Remember in November 2018 !

Since corrupt Congress is the biggest part of the sewer (imo) that Trump wants to drain, it is actually up to patriots to drain the sewer in the 2018 elections, patriots supporting Trump by electing as many new members of Congress as they can who will support Trump.

In the meanwhile, patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting candidates on the primary ballots.

Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.

Patriots also need to make sure that candidates are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed above.

Also, unlike incumbent members of Congress who wrongly remained silent while misguided state officials abridged the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens during the lawless Obama Administration, patriots need to make sure that candidates on the 2018 primary ballots commit to the following.

Candidates need to commit to making and enforcing 14th Amendment-related laws to prosecute misguided state officials who use state powers to abridge constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech for example, such actions prohibited by Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.

”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

Again, drain the sewer! Drain the sewer!

The Democrats have been visually emulating Communist dictators for a long time. The pictures of Democrat presidents holding their heads tilted back so they can look down their noses at their subjects, Hillary’s wardrobe selection of “dictator chic” during the campaign—they let us know what they have in mind. Unfortunately, too many of our fellow citizens imagine that socialist dictatorship amounts to utopia on earth, so that those clear signs do not alarm them.

Plagiarizing, because it’s simpler than being creative and original.
