“Don’t ask what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country. “
“We must face up to our country was founded by genocide, and we maintain global power through neocolonialism.”
Of course, the first sentence above comes from John F. Kennedy’s inauguration speech on January 21, 1961-arguably the most famous quote in the history of inauguration. The second sentence comes from a tweet from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) in August 2017-she said it worse.
Imagine a flip script. If today’s Democratic congressman uttered Kennedy’s famous admonition-let alone really believed it, what would happen to him or her? I got this. He or she will be severely criticized on CNN (“the most trusted name in the news”) and PMSNBC, scolding every obscene name in the book on social media, and then take the train out of the city-by his or her own party affiliation .
And, what if Kennedy declared in his inauguration speech that the United States was “built by genocide” and maintained global power through “neocolonialism”? He will be immediately declared a communist on both sides of the political aisle. Hearings will be held in both houses of Congress, and the entire country will erupt.
The first question is how did we get here?
How did John F. Kennedy’s Democrats evolve into Ilhan Omar, Alexander Ocasio-Cortez, Nancy Pelosi, and the White House radical leftist organ-grinding monkey Democrats?
Victor Davis Hanson, a distinguished researcher, writer, and Fox News contributor from the Great Center of America, shared his views on the Democratic Party in an article. Column Published on FoxNews.com on Saturday. “How did Kennedy Democrat Bill Clinton become a sober neo-Maoist movement?” he asked.
“In the past, Democratic Party There is a predictable agenda,” VDH wrote, “It is said to focus on individual rights, the’little guy’ and distrust of the military-industrial complex. “
“Democrats keep talking about workers. They curse the high gas and electricity prices that hurt consumers. Almost all liberal undertakings are based on the First Amendment, whether it is shouting obscene content, the right to watch pornography, or The controversial speaker has the right to bring to campus.
“The Supreme Court is sacred. Under the leadership of the liberal courts led by Chief Justice Earl Warren, progressive justices have suppressed the so-called indiscretions of right-wing populists.
“Democratic congressmen seem to keep investigating the CIA and FBI. “
Obviously, I bolded this font because today the CIA and FBI are virtual weapons of the Democratic Party.
“Progressive political cartoonists have caricatured senior Pentagon officials into obese, ugly-looking clerks with weird jaws. The “revolving door” is a special obsession of the left. Democrats attacked generals who had retired from the army and went directly to defense contractors. Business committee and get rich.
“Trade unions are sacred. Therefore, farm union leaders such as Cesar Chavez are currently heading to the border to confront (or personally attack) any “gangsters” that might become undocumented immigrants.”
and this:
“Politicians such as Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Bill and Hillary Clinton condemned the cheap labor provided by undocumented immigrants, which depressed American wages. “
Imagine. “At that time,” VDH wrote, “it is now.”
A gathering of the rich and elite.

So what happened, as VDH saw?
“Liberals became wealthy progressives, and they became truly wealthy hardcore leftists. Suddenly, not only millionaires, but also billionaires, such as Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Jay-Z, Oprah Winfrey and many other celebrities and CEOs have become cool and fashionable.
“The deified Silicon Valley monopolist ensures that leftist candidates usually get better funding than conservative candidates.
“‘Dirty money’ disappeared from the abuse of the left.
“Fortune 500 is more of a list of billionaires who are not making money through old-fashioned manufacturing, assembly, construction, agriculture, transportation, or oil and gas production.
“The left is obsessed with the idea that now it has mastered American money and influence. So it systematically started targeting institutions and using them Not from the empty noisy streets, but from the inside. “
bingo.The left has shifted within -From professional sports to corporate boards-in many cases, conservatives will ask, “Wait-what just happened?”

An institution that was once respected by the Democratic Party?
“Suddenly, the once-respected Supreme Court now has a majority of conservative judges, which becomes an obstacle to democracy and has to be packaged or reorganized.
“The First Amendment was redefined as an annoying speed bump, it slowed down progress. It unnecessarily protected the noisy conservatives and their backward values.
“The CIA, the FBI, and the Pentagon suddenly got better– If equipped with suitable personnel. Their secret power, their system of command from messy legislative concessions, and their reliance on surveillance are now in the hands of the right people.
“These institutions become allies rather than enemies, so their power is enhanced and unrestricted. “
“Media celebrities are no longer laughed at as empty clothes and pompadour fools, but as Useful infantry in the revolution,” VDH is correct nail. “The union store was written off as an ancient white dinosaur enclave-the Democratic Party’s rigid and shrinking base.”
What about the “old white dinosaurs” of John F. Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and Walter Mundell?
“Traditional Democrats are increasingly seen as fools who rotate power with the Republicans in power. Now, with money and institutions in their pockets and cool pop culture, the left will not only curse the American system, but also Infect them-change their DNA and redesign them into revolutionary institutions.”
VDH said: “Therefore, we have adopted a nearly one-party system that integrates media, popular culture, and administration of the country-I believe all Americans will soon agree to love Big Sibling.”

Something chilling. Because Victor Davis Hansen was right.
But conservatives are fighting back, perhaps more confident than at any time in recent history.
As I said before, I believe in fighting against the insidious cancer of critical racial theory-from my parents destroy Members of the school board went to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and other politicians to stand up and say “not in my state”-it could serve as a catalyst for other left-wing policies and initiatives.
But we must continue to bring in heat.Outdated Go ahead.
Speaking of Ron Desantis, check out my recent article: DeSantis notified Ben & Jerry about the absurd boycott of the “occupied Palestinian territories”
