Always challenge the premise of the leftist narrative

A threat to our democracy

​It is silly season again! That time of year when we are bombarded with signs and dishonest ads from politicians and their teams. I was listening to the news on the radio yesterday and believe it or not, one of the concerns of New Yorkers was “the threat to our democracy”  (Oh my God) ! This got me thinking; (rhut-roh) Am I a threat to our democracy? Give me a chance to unpack that. The people who are using this refrain, basically are telling the truth; at least according to their definition of democracy and their desire to implement one.
The founding fathers of this nation and the framers of the constitution, created it, specifically to PREVENT DEMOCRACY. These were not stupid men and they had studied ancient civilizations and why they failed. As Benjamin Franklin quipped, “Democracy is two wolves and a sheep, voting on what to have for dinner”. He and others worked diligently to create a representative republic, and they had some serious concerns about our ability to keep it. Think of the French Revolution and the heads that rolled under the mob rule of democracy.  Since the early 1900’s progressives have been chipping away at our constitution and our freedoms. These people brought us the seventeenth amendment which undermined federalism. Now a Senator is nothing more than a super congressman with little or no allegiance to the people of their respective states. They are responsible for nearly every stupid idea and program that has weakened our country. Now they are aggressively trying to end the electoral college in order to install this democracy.
Remember, in their ideal democracy the individual is subservient to the group in power. In their view the state will have say over the parent when deciding on the proper raising of children. Remember, that under the emergency executive orders handed down by these champions of democracy, individual rights were violated by all knowing bureaucrats. Don’t forget how many lives and businesses were destroyed by these oh so virtuous people. In their democracy, some groups are treated differently than others. Do I need to remind anyone that some are still political prisoners, being denied the basic care that is even afforded to terrorists in Gitmo, while those who trashed and burned major areas of our cities are still walking the streets? Is that not their democracy? Are not sanctuary cities and the un-equal processing of criminals and evasion of law, responsible for the crime wave in many of our cities? Is that the democracy that is so threatened? Is the censorship of ideas that has metastasized its tentacles into our tech media and our so-called defenders of the truth something that we, as Americans, would ever expect to have to deal with before this new found democracy? Did any of us ever imagine a time when one could lose their job or their livelihood for having a different opinion? I could go on, but I am sure most of you get the point
Our country was founded on the principle of individual rights. All the proponents of this “democracy” have turned that on its head. They are A THREAT TO OUR REPUBLIC. This really isn’t a partisan issue for most of us. Regardless of party affiliation, ask yourself; do you really want to live in their ideal democracy? I don’t.  So, do I think of my self as a threat to their democracy? You bet your ass I do.
Be a threat to their democracy; It’s the American thing to do.
