Letter to a Leftist Friend in American Thinker:

 Below is a letter from a conservative to his leftist friend. 

To me, the operative sentence is:

 

'As former NPR correspondent Democrat Chris Hedges recently put it: "We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals and bankers destroy the economy." '

In order to create their Utopian society the Left believes it must destroy everything and establish a new reality with itself firmly in charge. That new reality includes extraordinary claims such as transgender men are real women, the color of a person's skin is what defines every one ( Identity Politics), racism has been the organizing principle of Western societies for a thousand years influencing and distorting everything from philosophy to literature to music to architecture to mathematics to war and peace. However, we know that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The Left does not have any such evidence. Indeed, its claims are in inverse proportion to the evidence it can produce for them.

What the Left really has is an hydraulic grip on an hypothesis. Scientists have a phrase they use to describe an hypothesis that is so worthless it cannot even be used as a means for learning from one's mistakes. That phrase is, "Not Even Wrong." This is the category into which all of the Left's preposterous claims fall. Yet the Left persists.

The claims listed above are merely part of the Left's opening gambit. It knows that if it can get us to believe those claims it can get us to believe anything and that is when, like Alice In Wonderland, we will have passed through the looking glass where UP is DOWN and everything is being run by the Mad Hatter. We are not there yet. We have 222 Republican congressmen and 49 Republican senators representing over 72 million Americans who oppose the Left's ( read, Democrats' ) determined and destructive agenda.

The Left is confined to an ideological straight-jacket from which it is impossible to extricate itself. The poster child for this straight-jacket is another one of Biden's "diversity hires" supreme court justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson. During her confirmation hearing she was asked if she could define a woman. She replied that she could not because she was not a biologist. If she had been asked if she could define an automobile, would she have said she was unable to do so by claiming that she was not an engineer? For the Left ideological purity always supersedes the dictates of common sense.

Oscar Wilde once observed that an atlas which did not show Utopia would not be worth consulting. This was at a time when sodomy was a crime. Sodomy is no longer illegal. This has allowed the Left to sodomize America for decades with abandon but without lubricant. This is why I have no leftist friends!

Reverend Louis Farrakhan, America's Biggest Jew-Hater:

 If the cliche that only the good die young is true than we can expect Louis Farrakhan to live until he is well past 100.

About three minutes and fifteen seconds into the video below you will see and hear him call for the murder of Jewish people everywhere. This took place at one of his paid events called Savior's Day 2023 a few weeks ago but it caused barely a ripple on the stagnant and fetid pond of American journalism. Perhaps the mainstream-media has become used to eructations of this kind from the Reverend Farrakhan and simply shrugged its collective shoulder as it sprinted off to write more editorials in support of woke identity politics or gender fluidity.

It has been said that in America today one of the best ways to avoid charges against truth and morality is to get the word, "Reverend" placed before your name. This has worked well for Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and spectacularly well for Louis Farrakhan. He has turned Jew-hating into an art form that has produced millions of dollars for himself and attracted tens of thousands of followers whose critical faculties he has deposed with lies the size of Jupiter about Jews and Judaism. Like all cults, the Nation of Islam excludes evidence it does not like otherwise Farrakhan would have mentioned how prominent Jews helped finance the NAACP and sat on its board. He would have acknowledged the enormous Jewish support for the 1964 Civil Rights Act which the Democrats attempted to filibuster and he would certainly have mentioned Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman who were murdered by the KKK in 1964 volunteering in the South for the Congress of Racial Equality.

Yet, as Mark Levin points out in the video, Farrakhan has attracted the likes of Barack Obama, Maxine Waters, most of the Congressional Black Caucus and the SQUAD. Had any of them lived during the 1940s you may not have seen them shoving Jews into cattle cars but you would certainly have seen them on the platform waving the Jews goodbye. 

It is impossible to understand how anyone could give Farrakhan the slightest credence particularly if one knows he accepted the 1996 "Al-Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights Award" founded by the late Libyan dictator, Muammar Al-Gaddafi, a man whose hands were drenched in the blood of countless victims. Any conversation with Farrakhan, or Colonel Gaddafi for that matter, about justice or human rights would be bound to subtract from the entire encyclopedia of knowledge on those subjects.

Supporting Farrakhan in any way is to cooperate with evil and to seriously risk becoming evil oneself. This is an absolute statement that admits to no moral relativism and cannot be applied on a sliding scale.

The Nation of Islam's gimcrack structure appeals to those who possess the kind of imbecile credulity that would make an African witch-doctor positively green with envy. It is built on the sort of irrational hatred capable of emptying the future for every one of its votaries.

I urge you, your relatives and your friends to contact your senator, congressman, rabbi, the Jewish Federation and the Jewish Press and demand that the coprophagic Louis Farrakhan be condemned in the most explicit terms for his vicious, annihilationist and toxic Jew-hatred with which he assiduously infects his followers and alarms the rest of us. Farrakhan must be condemned, declared anathema and shunned.

REPARATIONS

 You will notice in the article printed below that California, a state where there was never any slavery, may soon be obliged to pay $360,000.00 by way of reparations for slavery and its concomitant results to every one of its black citizens if Shirley Weber, California's Secretary of State and our conceptually adrift governor have their way. 

In one of the most bizarre statements ever made by one of our public officials, while taking a holiday from history, Ms.Weber notes, "If California can admit its sins and change its narrative, then there is a way forward for states and cities across the nation."

Sins! Narrative! What on earth is the woman talking about?!! Clearly, she is not on a crusade to right an evil wrong but prefers to stoke the divisiveness of identity politics by pandering to black voters, a constituency without which the Democrats would be doomed to electoral defeat.

No mention is made of the trillions of dollars spent since the passing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act in a good faith effort to create a level playing field for all Americans regardless of race. Surely these dollars weigh heavily on the credit side in the Ledger of Reparations. 

The staggering amounts of money we have spent creating that playing field and what has been done with it are two different things. We have a national tragedy on our hands. The black community suffers from a 75% illegitimacy rate, 7,000 blacks are murdered by blacks every year and over 300,000 black babies are aborted annually. Somehow I doubt if gifting every black Californian $360,000.00 is going to solve any of those problems.

From the Public Policy Institute of California comes this: "No race or ethnic group constitutes a majority of California’s population: 39% of Californians are Latino, 35% are white, 15% are Asian American or Pacific Islander, 5% are Black, 4% are multiracial, and fewer than 1% are Native American or Alaska Natives, according to the 2020 Census" and according to the 2021 American Community Survey, 27% of Californians are foreign-born. 

So, one must ask, who is going to pay the $360,000.00, who is going to receive the $360,000.00 and how will that be determined? Will the descendants of the several hundred thousand Union soldiers who were killed fighting to free the slaves receive anything? Must I pay? My grandparents came through Ellis Island in 1906 and I arrived in California in1984. Will Oprah and LeBron James each receive a check for $360,000.00?

The whole thing is not only preposterous but also a disgusting example of hyper-aggressive, racially hostile, affirmative action. There must be a cheaper way for Democrats to buy votes if they can't keep stealing them.

Book that moving van now!

State task force boosts reparations figure to $360K for each black Californian

By Katherine Donlevy, 1 day ago

New York Post

A reparations task force in California has increased the amount of money it wants taxpayers to hand out in compensation for racial discrimination and enslavement. 

After first proposing $220,000 payments last year, The California Reparations Task Force proposed at a meeting Friday that every black citizen in the state be given a $360,000 check. 

The project could cost as much as $640 billion — but there was no word on how it would be funded in the cash-strapped state. 

“If California can admit its sins and change the narrative, then there is a way forward for states and cities across the nation,” California Secretary of State Shirley Weber — who authored the bill creating the task force — said. 

The task force met Friday for the first session of its two-day deliberations over how much reparations each black citizen who descended from an enslaved ancestor in the US is entitled to and how those reparations will be distributed. 

The payments could be made directly to those qualified or in the form of investments in education, health care and homeownership for black communities. 

The group reached the proposed $640 billion fund total by using a model that evaluated the state’s racial wealth gap by calculating damages related to specific injustices such as housing discrimination, mass incarceration and health harms. 

A history of housing discrimination against black Californians makes up a significant portion of the compensation the panel recommends. Several black communities were bought out or seized through eminent domain to be bulldozed for infrastructure projects, according to the panel’s findings.

There are roughly 1.8 million African-Americans living in the Golden State.
