Peaceful Progressives?

 On more than one occasion in discussions on these here blogs, it has been stated that the "progressive peace loving" Dan finds so much in common among lefties is not so common at all.  As Trump's false conviction in one of his four BS trials has been such a gift to Dan-ish lefties (they get to call Trump "a convicted felon"), so too was dust up at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.  It allows the Dan-ish to regard conservatives as violent law breakers, insurrectionist or terrorists.  Both do no more for them but to validate my position that they're just perverts perverting what they can to further their perverted ends.

But the issue of violence is truly a "progressive" trait far more typical of them than of conservatives.  A recent essay by J.R. Dunn, one of the editorial staff at AmericanThinker.com, lists the many examples of this reality.  This particular article was one which isn't posted at the site itself, but is part of an exclusive feature reserved for subscribers...like myself.  E-mails are sent with four or five such articles by certain regulars at AT at least once a week or two.  (Frankly, I'm not sure how often.  I just come upon them in my emails and don't pay attention to the frequency of their arrival).  As such, I'm unable to link to the article itself unless I copy/pasted the entire thing and provide it as a post.  Rather, you'll have to make do with the snippets I'll now provide as evidence of the premise regarding the violent nature of the left.

The title of the piece is "Like the scorpion, leftism's nature is to kill."  Pretty provocative, but Dunn brings the receipts.

"In the 20th century, leftism was responsible for more deaths than any other factor apart from natural death, including war, disease, famine, and crime. For the Soviet Union, it was 20 to 40 million (though Solzhenitsyn spoke to Russians who calculated it as over 64 million). In Red China, it was 60 million plus (though when Oriana Fallaci interviewed Deng Xiaoping, he simply shook his head when she suggested 65 million). Cambodia accounted for 2-3 million, and Mengistu’s Ethiopia starved over a million. North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam…who knows?"

I don't know that one can name a conservative or "right-leaning" parallel during the same period, nor is there one now.  He then goes on to name the leaders of these abominations as well as how highly regarded they were and are to many on the left even today:

"Almost every last leftist icon has been a man (and the occasional woman) of violence: Stalin, Mao, Lenin, Castro, Pol Pot, and Che, all the way down to such luminaries as Bill Ayers, Huey Newton, and Mark Rudd. (There are those who would add Hitler and Mussolini to this list, with some reason.)"

(I don't know why he didn't just add Hitler and Mussolini, unless it's because how many leftists like to pretend they were "right-wing fascists, dammit!"  But they both were leftists, too.)  All listed were cut from the same cloth, though they often gave themselves different political identities, which is another common tactic of the left:  doing what lefties always do, but changing their names when people get sick of their crap.

Dunn then goes on to list American examples from recent history:

---The Congressional Baseball shooting on June 14, 2017

---The Las Vegas Mass Shooting in October of 2017

--- Three Trump Assassination attempts

---The Health-care Exec Shooting on December 4, 2024

---The Summer of 2020

There's also the Albuquerque man charged with firebombing a GOP office, as well as Tesla dealerships, and the destruction of Tesla vehicles and dealerships in general are all the work of peace-loving progressives.  Dunn continues:

"All this has come to a point over the last few months as the Left has emerged from the shadows with open threats of assassination and mass murder. A few weeks back, Maine schoolmarm Joanna St. Germain called for the Secret Service to murder Donald Trump and his staff..."

...and...

"Shortly before that, George Mason student Nicholas Decker published an essay titled “When Must We Kill Them?” calling for mass murder along the lines of the Khmer Rouge and the Red Guards..."

He rightly states that this "is the party of compassion and tolerance in A.D. 2025."  As he says,

"At heart, the American Left is one with the Bolsheviks, the Khmer Rouge, and the Red Guards."

Throw in Hamas and all those defending their actions on American college campuses.  Throw in abortionists, too, as what could be more violent than the rending of innocents limb from limb for personal convenience.  Throw in the many Hollywood celebs suggesting violence and assassination against Trump and his followers, as well as a variety of Dem congresspeople enabling violence. 

In so many ways, those like Dan who insist they're the party of peace belie such claims and try to portray their political and ideological opponents as fascistic, Hitlerian and all manner of vile crap, projecting their own character upon truly peaceful people. 

It Boggles The Mind

One of the most obvious signs that actual Americans need to step up their vigilance and pay attention to the politics of our nation is how for the last three months, the left has stepped up their efforts to disparage and demean the current administration.  Never mind the many foul, often unConstitutional actions by the Biden administration...the suppression of conservative opinions on almost every issue of the day, the fascistic mandating of unproven drugs under threat of job termination, the many unjust attacks on Trump and his supporters by the weaponizing of the legal and judicial system, the rise in inflation and thus the cost of everything, the loss of jobs and businesses due to nonsensical Covid related mandates and the many unnecessary deaths which resulted from their policies rather than the illness itself, the suppression of speech which didn't align with administration lies about Covid, CRT, LGBTQ+++ and other issues, the constant lies about everything and a whole lot more.  Never mind that shit.  All one needs to know is "Orange Man Bad" and nothing he does...nothing he could do...is ever anything but evil and damn you for demanding proof!  Just accept it, dammit!

It's relentless.  Dan and his troll are just a small part of the abject insanity at the source of their hatred for Trump and anyone connected with or supportive of him.  Of course, they really have nothing of substance against which they can rally.  Some of what Trump is doing are even things the left had spoke of doing (they never follow through except on the most vile and evil crap, like abortion, perv rights and such), such as DOGE.  Many have now seen reminders of Obama and Biden during the former's presidency of pretending they were going to root out waste and fraud in our many departments and agencies and the bright people knew it was all talk when he put Joey Plugs in charge of it all.  The many failures of both their administrations doesn't mean a damned thing when there's Trump to hate on.

I'm on Facebook and there's a dude from my high school days who is way the hell out there in fairy tale land when it comes to posting memes and videos and opinion pieces of so many weak charges against Trump.  It's pretty much the same crap the Dem Party has pulled on the guy since he first won the presidency in 2016...when they sought to overturn that election because Trump was an "illegitimate" president, and on through BS impeachments and four nonsensical criminal/civil trials after his term was over.

The worst part are other people who follow the dude's posts and pretend they know anything about anything as well, all of whom are more than willing to repeat the same old lies about "racist/misogynist/traitor/only-cares-about-himself/moron/rapist/cat juggler and anything else they choose to believe.  Note: they choose to believe all the nastiness they "uncover".  They don't have evidence of any of it.  Because with the lefties...and we see that here, at Craig's and at Dan's (with Dan himself providing proof)...the merest of allegations is hard-core unassailable proof of guilt where Trump is concerned. 

What it all means is that with which I began this post.  True Christians, conservatives and Americans cannot rest on their laurels or their hardies when it comes to the state of the nation.  Elections come every two to four years and the left is not ready to go gently into that good night, and despite the incompetency of those who would vie for elected office on the Dem side, they believe themselves just what this country needs regardless of how routinely they prove that to be an incredibly stupid belief if ever there was one.  They have no true ideas of beneficial consequence and less of an idea of why they hate Trump so much.  They don't even care to expend the effort to have better lies about him and the conservative movement in general.  They are most indeed the greatest threat to the survival of our nation.
