This is no hyperbole. It is the only verdict that an honest observer could draw. As for the Republicans, more will be said of them at a later time.
In every conceivable way—logically, metaphysically, and morally—it is nothing less than
impossible for leftists and Democrats to simultaneously love America and equate it, as Kamala Harris has equated it, with a
crime scene.
In fact,
AmeriKKKa, is worse than a crime scene; it is a war zone, a bastion of “white supremacy,” “racism,” and every other transgression in the catalogue of the left’s greatest evils.
To put it bluntly, and as anyone with an IQ above room temperature must recognize, a person who sees America as having been founded upon racial oppression that was as systematic as it was comprehensive, who sees its foundation as having been laid in racial terrorism and genocide, upon the crushed bones and bloody corpses of countless numbers of innocent men, women, and children of color, cannot, must not, harbor anything but unmitigated contempt for such a bastion of murderous White Villainy.
No, even “AmeriKKKa” must, in the eyes of the left, fail as a moniker to capture the heinousness of the United States. Indeed, such was the brutality of the men and women—the
white men and women, especially the
men—who founded this country that Hitler and his Nazis can only appear as juvenile delinquents by comparison. After all, the Nazis spent a miniscule fraction of the time targeting human beings for destruction over ethnic and religious differences that Americans spent doing so from the 17
th century until the War for American Independence and beyond.
Yet even
this comparison does not go far enough, for to hear the left tell it, the brutal persecution to which America’s founders subjected scores of non-whites continues virtually unabated through to
the present day: Whether it is talk of “Institutional Racism,” “White Privilege,” “White Supremacy,” or (the latest) “White Nationalism,” the left insists that there is an essentially straight, and shockingly
short, line stretching from the slave traders and masters of the 18
th and 19
th centuries to the average white American of today.
An individual of the left subscribes to a virulently anti-American ideology. A self-consistent leftist who insists upon his or her love for America is either morally perverse, mentally ill, cognitively challenged, or flagrantly dishonest (or some combination of the above).
Which of America’s founders is your favorite founder and why? This is the question that every Democratic presidential candidate (and, for that matter, every other Democratic politician and leftist media celebrity) needs to be asked.
Democratic politicians and talking heads love to cite the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution whenever it suits their purposes. But the first was authored by Thomas Jefferson, a white man—a white
Southern man—who owned hundreds of black slaves who he didn’t free even in death. The second was written largely by James Madison, another white man—a white
Southern man—who also owned large numbers of black slaves.
Democrats try to convince the rest of the country that they love America. Yet the “Father” of our country, George Washington, a white man—a white
Southern man—was master to well over 300 black slaves.
Even America itself is named after Amerigo Vespucci. Granted, Vespucci was not a founder of what everyone today knows as the United States. Yet he
was, nevertheless, a white Christian man from the Old World, a member of that class of greedy, oppressive racial supremacists which destroyed the ancient indigenous civilizations of the New World for the sake of advancing the interests of Europeans.
If statues and monuments, reminders of those white Southern men who fought for the Confederacy, need to be razed because, supposedly, they offend current racial sensibilities, then how much more should those reminders—like the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution—of the white Southern men who authored our country’s sacred documents be discarded, for surely they, too, must harm blacks and every non-white who they meant to exclude.
Now, leftists, or at least high-profile leftists, to say nothing of visible left-wing Democrats, know better than to be as bold as to follow the logic of their reasoning to its conclusion by calling for the erasure from the life of the country of America’s Founders and the texts that they fashioned and ratified. This, though, is why it is unforgivable that so-called “conservatives” have remained virtually silent as the left has waged, and continues to wage, its campaign to purge from the public eye all remnants of the Confederacy:
The only difference between Robert E. Lee, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, and Jefferson Davis, on the one hand, and George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, on the other, is that the latter set of Southern white secessionists
, as we have already seen, owned many more slaves than the former set of Southern white secessionists ever did.
To repeat: By any objective measure, and by the left’s own standards, the most revered of America’s Founders were far worse than what leftists imagine the most revered of Confederate heroes to have been.
The reason that every patriotic American should be up in arms (figuratively and, in at least those instances of leftist mob action, literally) over the relentless attack that has been launched upon what Southerners view as their heritage is that the attack on Confederate symbols is, ultimately, a battle waged in the left’s war on America itself.
For the time being, in other words, and until such time as circumstances permit, the old Confederacy must serve as proxy for the real, ultimate target that the left has long had in its crosshairs: America.
If Lee deserves to be retroactively demonized for being a “racist” and a traitor, then so much more does his cousin, George Washington, the Father of America, deserve the same for being a “racist” and a traitor to the Mother country of England. If the Confederate flag and its battle flag deserve to be purged from Respectable Society because they flew over the institution of slavery, then that much more does the American flag deserve this fate, for the Stars and Stripes as well flew over the institution of slavery, and for an exponentially longer period of time than did the Stars and Bars.
