Michelle Steel Calls Out Racist Rouda

 This is the kind of thing that Republicans need to pay attention to and drill down on.

I suspect that progressive groups around the country are targeting moderate(ish) Democrats from 2018 who lost their seats, so that they do not run again, and instead a more progress (read, more communistic) candidate runs instead.

Progressive Group Calls Out Rouda for Racist Attacks on Michelle Steel
Less than one week after national Dems called out Rouda’s lies

Huntington Beach, CA – It’s been a bad week for Harley Rouda. On Friday, national Democrats warned Rouda against lying about Michelle Steel, now a national progressive group is doubling down and calling out Harley again for running racist and misleading ads during the 2020 election campaign.

 

According to the San Francisco Chronicle citing an analysis by the progressive strategy and donor group Way to Win, “Democrats ran ads that were not “culturally competent.” The study called out former Orange County Rep. Harley Rouda for airing “anti-China” ads against an Asian-American GOP candidate, now-Rep. Michelle Steel, in a district that is 18% Asian Pacific Islander.”

According to its website, Way to Win is a “homebase for progressive donors and organizers.” In 2020, they were committed to calling out misogyny and racism against women of color in hopes of “dismantling the patriarchy.”

“It’s quite something when even national Democrats and progressives are calling out a member of their own party for lying - but that’s exactly what’s happening with sore loser and tax cheat Harley Rouda. In 2020, Rouda ran a despicably misleading and racist smear campaign against Michelle Steel, a Korean immigrant who came to this country as a teenager in search of a better life. The voters knew it then and Democrats and progressives clearly know it now - Harley Rouda is a tax cheat and a liar,” Steel spokesman Lance Trover said in a statement. 

This is not the first time Rouda has been called out for his racist and misleading ad. In September 2020, over 1000 Orange County residents and 25 community leaders called for these deceptive ads to be taken down:

“Your actions to smear a Korean immigrant who came to this country in search of a better life and has sought to give back to her community via public service carry heavy undertones of racism and sexism”, the leaders said in the letter

What's really going on here, though, is that progressive groups do not like Rouda. He is not agressively progressive enough. He is too "moderate", too "go with the flow", too "corporate." Also, he is too "white". The Democratic Party has entrenched systemic racism, and they are not giving it up. Identity politics has become essential to the Democratic Party, since that is their one and only business. White males need not apply, and that includes former Republican Harley Rouda.

This kind of leftwing ravaging may help Michelle Steel in more ways than one. With Rouda forced to veer harder to the left to keep the Democratic base close to him, he will further alienate independent and event squishy Republicans who have now gone all ga-ga for Biden.

Steel might be able to stay in Congress for another term!

Best Quote/Photo Caption from Berkeley: "Nazis and KKK are Left-Wing Groups"

It still amazes me that a reported on the ground reported my statements about the KKK, Antifa, and the Nazis.



Here's the tweet, which raised such a stir on social media, but also helped the Trump movement and conservatism in general to take back the narrative for the truth:

Yes, they were.

They were progressives because of their frequent resort to force in order to impose their view of government, of the culture which they wanted to flourish in their states.

The Progressive movement has been dedicated to ensuring an imposed, rigid, government-defined hierarchy since its inception.



German views on the role of the individual within the state took a totalitarian turn in the early 1800's, especially following the state-sponsored tyranny of the French Revolution. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel imagined the role and relevance of the individual citizen completely in line with the government, or with the state. This progressive nonsense drew much of its inspiration from the hedonist Rousseau and his argument about the General Will for political power.

In effect, these arguments about one final authority making the decisions for all mankind within a government are tantamount to advocating for dictatorship, the rule of one strong man and his will over the interests or will of individual citizens.

The Framers never wanted such tyranny to hold sway in the United States of America. They were in fact wise, Biblically-minded men who understood that human nature is corrupted, and that power corrupts, especially when concentrated in the hands of many or few.

Progressives are dedicated to this perverse notion that human beings are basically good, that the proper environment and training will make people better people. This line of thinking fails to recognize that men and women are limited in their means and  their minds, that they will frequently seek what is best for themselves when challenges arise to themselves as well as to the state or the government they run.



Human history is replete with examples of men who intend to do good, but get sucked in by bad motives and bad people. The flesh of man, the sinful nature of man is strong and cannot be overcome by man's efforts or hopes. It takes the grace of God, the secure blessings of liberty. Consider that the Declaration of Independence mentions God five times, outlining that our rights come from Him, and not from ourselves.

So, progressives are dedicated to this strange notion that human beings are perfectible, that human nature is malleable and can be changed. This argument coincides very well with the agenda pushed by Antifa, Nazis, and the KKK, to create a perfect world, a perfect race--and to remove anyone and anything which adulterates the pure race, the ideal population which they wish to create.



Indeed, these three groups mentioned are Left-wing:

1.They rely on violence.
2.They believe that people can be perfect, or that they are basically good
3. They discriminate against people based on the color of their skin
4. They want to create a "perfect" society, which involves getting rid of "undesirables" and making people believe what they believe--or else.

Yes, and I am so glad that liberal mainstream affiliates reported my statement--and it's time for us to assert the truth about political history and ideologies. The Left, the Democratic Party, and their domestic terrorist wings have pushed violence and repression, while free market advocates and right-wing activists have sought liberty and respect for God's natural order.

Gorsuch is Great, Because Left-Wing Slate Hates Him

I encourage conservatives of all backgrounds to read the liberal press.

The progressive websites are even better.

Why?



Because every day, in their pages they are panicking about the Trump Administration.

Trump is getting rid of the stupid environmentalist policies.

He is governing by the rule of law, rather than the rule of feelings.

He has rejected the grievance industry which Barack Obama had intended to keep alive.

All the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights are being restored to their full glory, even though the regressive left

On Monday, Justice Neil Gorsuch revealed himself to be everything that liberals had most feared: pro-gun, pro–travel ban, anti-gay, anti–church/state separation. He is certainly more conservative than Justice Samuel Alito and possibly to the right of Justice Clarence Thomas. He is an uncompromising reactionary and an unmitigated disaster for the progressive constitutional project. And he will likely serve on the court for at least three more decades.

This is the best news I have read yet!

All of it is printed for everyone to read in Slate Magazine.

So much winning, because there is so much whining from the Left!

Although Gorsuch has barely been on the bench for two months, he has already had an opportunity to weigh in on some of the most pressing constitutional issues of our time. In each case, he has chosen the most conservative position. On Monday, Gorsuch indicated that he opposes equal rights for same-sex couples, dissenting from a ruling that requires states to list same-sex parents on birth certificates. (Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito joined his dissent.) 

This is great! I am proud of my President, and I am so glad that he nominated Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme COurt of the United States!

That, alone, is startling: In Obergefell v. Hodges, the court held that the Constitution compels states to grant same-sex couples “the constellation” of “rights, benefits, and responsibilities” that “the states have linked to marriage,” including “birth and death certificates.” Obergefell, then, already settled this issue. Gorsuch’s dissent suggests he may not accept Obergefell as settled law and may instead seek to undermine or reverse it.

The Supreme Court is not the Supreme Being. We have all had this discussion before. The United States Constitution is not some kind of living document, written in wet cement which allows lawyers in bad dresses to decide whether they are going to rewritten or ignore key passages in the charter or in any law.



Gorsuch also joined Thomas in dissenting from the court’s refusal to review a challenge to California’s concealed carry laws. California grants concealed carry permits for “good cause”—namely, a “particularized need, substantiated by documentary evidence, to carry a firearm for self-defense.” 

Wow! I didn't know about this, until Slate reported on it. I am so glad that Gorsuch is not afraid to be an independent, conservative mind on the Supreme Court!

.Thomas and Gorsuch dissented vociferously, essentially declaring that the Second Amendment grants individuals a right to carry loaded firearms in public. Not even the archconservative Alito joined their bizarre opinion. It appears Gorsuch is eager to strike down almost any law that limits the right “to keep and bear arms” in any way.

AWESOME!

Monday also revealed Gorsuch’s deep hostility to the separation of church and state. He joined Chief Justice John Roberts’ opinion for the court in Trinity Lutheran v. Comer, holding that a state may not constitutionally refuse to subsidize houses of worship. The court, joined by Gorsuch, held that, when a state declines to fund a church’s improvement project, it somehow violates the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. 

The winning! The winning never ends! This is so awesome!

Gorsuch joined Roberts’ opinion ... both justices wrote separately to declare that they’d go further, holding that any disparate treatment of religious organizations likely runs afoul of the Constitution. That seemingly benign statement implies that both justices would force states to funnel more taxpayer money to churches and religious groups. To their minds, the government discriminates against religion when it refuses to subsidize it.



The First Amendment should receive as much latitude as possible, and private religious schools should not be discriminated against for being ... religious schools.

Then, finally, there’s the travel ban ruling ... Gorsuch, joined by Thomas and Alito, opposed this compromise: He would’ve let the travel ban take effect in its entirety, as he believes it to be lawful. So much for the fantasy of Gorsuch standing up to Trump.

WOW!

Thank God for Trump, and thank God for Gorsuch.

People, I cannot stress this enough. Start reading ThinkProgress and Slate Magazine. You will find so much good news in their articles, precisely because everything that Trump is doing is driving them crazy.

You will learn all the great things that the President is accomplishing for us, since the mainstream media has spent most of its capital and press coverage going over Russia.
