“It’s never a good sign when extremism becomes the norm.” – Ari Melber
Progressives, leftists, Biden regime apparatchiks, RINOS and establishment bureaucrats in the FBI and Justice Department, call those of us who are conservative, moderate or resistant to woke philosophy, extremists. An examination of a variety of subjects shows that the left, through their control over the corporate media and much of social media, has projected their well earned title of extremist, onto the rest of us.
For way over a century in our country, the sexualization of children was considered taboo, if not a criminal offense. In other words, child pornography and pedophilia were not only considered immoral and criminal, but also extremist. Now, however, those who object to pornographic books and comic books, pamphlets, drag queen story hours and the encouragement of transsexualism in public schools are painted as “extremists” by those in power in our nation, and some of our state and local governments. They attempt to stifle debate on the subject by calling those who disagree with their degenerate views, as “transphobic”, homophobic or whatever other phobia they can think of.
Left wing propagandists hide what is being taught and pushed in public schools. The educational/industrial complex wants all or most decisions about what a child is taught, to be made by school officials rather than parents. They want that same power over decisions regarding a child’s health. When the vast majority of parents and taxpayers, who pay for public schools, are opposed to schools making choices in the place of parents, that is not an extremist idea, it is a large majority view.
Sexual identity is a similar category. Except for the educational and political elite, a huge bulk of reasoning Americans are opposed to the anti-scientific opinion that there are more than two sexes. They are against the prostitution of our language by imposing illogical, confusing and mindless pronouns in our educational institutions and public discourse. These are the beliefs of a wide margin of the public. Those who want to compel others to follow their asininity are the extremists.
While the defunding police movement gained popularity after the George Floyd fiasco, those who really want to defund the police are a stark minority. The jurisdictions that have pulled money from law enforcement are now reaping a whirlwind of increased crime and lawlessness. Most citizens want to increase the number of officers on the street and want a return to proactive police work. They are in the mainstream. The leftist politicians, activists and anarchists who advocate defunding police, lessening of criminal sentencing, and no bail requirements for those arrested, are the extremists.
Since the inception of our Constitutional republic, our guiding principle, aptly expressed by Abraham Lincoln in the Gettysburg Address, is that we are “a government of the people, by the people, for the people.” That ideal was slowly eroding until the last decade and a half, when it has come under constant attack by our elected officials who are supposed to operating under its guiding light. When President Obama’s IRS was weaponized to keep conservative organizations from fundraising, that was weaponizing of government to attack “the people”. When the FBI sends out SWAT teams to arrest nonviolent political opponents, that is not only the actions of tyrannical, oppressive regimes, it is also the one of the tools used by extremists.
