MoveOn.org Confuses Fascism with Democracy

The Regressive Left believes in democracy, if the outcomes suit their political agenda.

Anything else is fascism to them, straight up.

Here's the latest stupid rant from MoveOn.org whining about the collapse of democracy. The fact is that they don't like that Republicans and conservatives are fighting back, and fighting back better using their own activist techniques against them!

Dear MoveOn member, 

As Trump continues to threaten fascist violence in response to a possible indictment (he just told a right-wing talk show host that there will be "... problems in this country, the likes of which perhaps we have never seen before" if he is charged with a crime).¹

And as his white supremacist henchmen in the U.S. Congress do the same (Lindsey Graham: "literally, there will be riots").²

We have some heroes we want to tell you about whom we hope you will directly support and who are trying to preserve our democracy one state at a time.

These five candidates are quietly going about the business of stopping Trump's handpicked accomplices from taking over the highest election office of five states—secretary of state.

Before we tell you about these champions for democracy, understand whom they are trying to defeat. Who they must defeat. The people they are running against are literally Oath Keepers, insurrectionists, leaders of sham lawsuits, white supremacists, vote suppressors, and election deniers.

These five include anti-democratic, pro-fascist Republicans ready to overturn any election or suppress any vote if the result isn't what they want.

That's why we are asking you not to give to us but to give to the five candidates we have listed below. By clicking here, your $3 donation will be split evenly between these five campaigns, all of which are trying to protect our democracy from the fascism of Donald Trump.

As you know, in many states, the secretary of state is the single most important position for ensuring election integrity and preventing Trump's next attempt at a coup. That's why in the five swing states of Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan (all states won by Biden in 2020), Trump and Steve Bannon are pulling out all the stops—from candidate recruitment to flooding the airwaves with dark money—to secure the top elections post in each.

And that's why MoveOn made the unprecedented decision this year to lean in heavily in these races. We know that if we are not diligent, these election deniers will attempt to disregard the will of the people and install Trump in the White House. These are the Democratic candidates we are supporting:

Democrat Adrian Fontes in Arizona, who is running against Republican Mark Finchem. Finchem participated in the insurrection on January 6 and is a member of the white supremacist Oath Keepers. He said the 2020 election was "rigged" and a "fraud."³

Democrat Cisco Aguilar in Nevada, who is running against Republican Jim Marchant. Marchant openly declares he would not have certified the election results for Joe Biden in 2020. He has said it is "very possible" that he will submit alternate electors in 2024, if he's elected.⁴

Democrat Jocelyn Benson in Michigan, who is running against Republican Kristina Karamo. Karamo still believes Trump is president, claims she saw fraud in Detroit, where none existed, and filed a sham lawsuit to get the Supreme Court to throw out the 2020 results.⁵

Democrat Jena Griswold in Colorado, who is running against Republican Pam Anderson. Anderson refuses to denounce Donald Trump's attacks on our democracy and has campaigned alongside Erik Aadland, a devout election denier running for Congress.⁶

Democrat Bee Nguyen in Georgia, who is running against Republican Brad Raffensperger. Raffensperger championed one of the most restrictive voting rights laws that the GOP pushed after losing the 2020 election, blocking drop boxes, restricting early voting, and denying water to voters waiting on line for hours in the heat.⁷

Without overstating it, stopping Trump from returning to the White House in 2024 may well depend on these five Democratic candidates winning their seats. Please split a $3 donation to these candidates now. Every dollar you send will go directly to them.

Thanks for all you do.

MoveOn.org has never had any real credibility, ever since they stood by the stained Presidency of Bill Clinton. Now, they are busy carrying water for the regressive left, looking for every excuse to criminalize any political opposition in the country.

The left-wing, socialist, communist, Satanist forces in the United States know that their time is limited. They will stop at nothing to hold onto whatever little power they have left, and they will shame, blame, and defame anyone who tries to stand in their way.

But there is a massive uprising of the citizenry in this country which is refusing to put up with this abuse, this destructive, this moral chaos which has become all too common. We the People are exercising our rights as citizens in a democratic Republic, and no one is going to take them away under the guise of besmirching us as fascists.

Chronological Snobbery: Media Reaction to Victory for Section 377a in Singapore

"[T]o say a law is archaic is merely chronological snobbery." -- Dr. Thio Li-Ann

The courts in the Republic of Singapore have upheld Section 377a, the statutes which criminalize homosexual offenses.

To say that the mainstream (read, liberal and pro-LGBT) media is not taking this news well would be an understatement.

Certainly, the pro-gay news sites in the world are foaming at the mouth.

Pink News reports:

Singapore doubles down on homophobia, says millions of menare breaking the law by having gay sex

Here's what they had to write:

The Singapore High Court has dismissed three separate challenges to a law that criminalises sex acts between men.

Gay and bisexual men in Singapore will continue to live as “un-apprehended criminals” under Section 377A, an outdated law colonial-era law.

Section 377A defines sex between consenting men as “acts of gross indecency” punishable by up to two years in prison. This also extends to anyone who abets, procures or attempts to procure such acts, but does not apply to lesbians.

Last year three separate challenges against Section 377A were launched by three Singaporean activists, including an organiser of the Pink Dot rally.

Prior to this there had been two unsuccessful attempts to repeal the law in recent years, but the trio petitioned the High Court to revisit its earlier decision in light of new evidence.

There is no end to the demands. The homosexual activists won't quit until pro-family and anti-LGBT activists work hard enough to break their will. They need to know that we are not playing around, and we have no interest in seeing this perversion become widespread.

Speaking to The Gay UK, Téa Braun of the Human Dignity Trust said: “This decision will be extremely disappointing for the plaintiffs and the wider LGBT+ community in Singapore, who had great hopes that new evidence presented to the court would make it clear that these draconian laws cannot withstand proper constitutional scrutiny.

"Draconian"? Really? The law is not actively enforced! 

“The ruling will also echo harmfully around Asia, where millions of people are criminalised simply because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.”

This statement is good new indeed. Yes, we want nations like Singapore to take the lead in announcing that homosexuality is wrong, aberrant, destructive, and therefore should not be promoted or protected in any country. Yes, more Asian countries should embrace this standard and defend or reinstate their laws criminalizing homosexual conduct.

LGBT+ rights remain a thorny issue in the socially-conservative city-state, but Singaporean activists are determined to see change.

I would like to return to the headline for this article: "Doubles down on homophobia."

Opposing homosexuality is not a mental disorder, but a sign of mental clarity and intellectual accuity. It is wisdom of a higher order to recognize that homosexual conduct should not be allowed to run rampant in any country. These behaviors should not be celebrated or permitted. Indeed, the state has a right and necessity to restrain evil, and that means denouncing and delegitimizing homosexual acts.

It's not a "phobia" by any stretch of the imagination.

Now, let's look at more mainstream news sites on this topic.

Singapore Upholds Colonial Anti-Gay Laws: Being Gay Remains Illegal For 5.7 Million People

Forbes Magazine has now shacked up with the LGBT lobby?

The reporter refers to Section 377a as "colonial". i.e. backward, not progressive.

The pro-LGBT elements in the corporate world have jumped on the same perverse bandwagon, going to every length to celebrate sexual perversion and deviance. Homosexuals and their promoters around the world actually have a considerable amount of money. Most of them are wealthy investors and benefactors, and looking through historical records, one finds that homosexuality was a particular perversion of the elite, not the working or merchant classes--those groups were too busy earning a living and living their lives.

The second part of this title is outrageous, as well: "Being gay remains illegal."

Again, there is no such thing as "being gay". There is no gay identity, because there are not gay genetics. People are not "born that way". This massive fraud must be debunked thoroughly and unequivocally. When pro-business magazines and news sites traffic in this trash, they need to be held accountable.

How about the Financial Times? Surely they would write something more fair and balanced?

Singapore high court upholds law criminalising gay sex

This is the Financial Times, and even they have fallen for many of the lies of the LGBT lobby.

First of all, there is no such thing as "gay sex" (unless one is talking about the bless of marriage between man and woman). Two men cannot have sex. They can abuse each other's bodies, and they can sodomize each other, but they cannot have sex.

Secondly, the Section 377a statute clear states "acts of gross indecency". Homosexual acts, including sodomy, rimming, fisting, and other perverse behaviors, are all forms of indecency, and they should not be promoted.

Now, let's look at the first paragraph of the report:

Singapore’s high court has upheld a colonial-era law that criminalises sex between men, putting the international financial centre at odds with the liberal trend to embrace same-sex relationships.

Once again, the writer mentions "Colonial," i.e. backward, wrong-headed, stuck in the past, etc.

Notice also that the writer appeals to this fallacy that there is this Zeitgeist around the world that homosexuality is being embraced, and that Singapore is the last hold-out against the inevitable triumph of gay marriage and the so-called normalization of homosexual relationships.

This falsehood has become quite prevalent in First World countries. Many Western powers, or at least their globalist-leaning leaders, are convinced that part of economic progress means sexual liberation and laxity. Nothing could be further from the truth. Undermining moral relations between men and women has a host of damaging consequences on societies and peoples. Chinese cultures were getting stuck because of the rampant disregard for natural relations between men and women. Ancient Greek city-states also collapsed with the decline and fall of the family, and the rise of rampant, militant homosexuality.

Singapore is indeed a strong, vibrant, enviable financial sector. That status is not in conflict with the nation's wise decision to criminalize acts of gross indecency between men.

Final Reflection

"Colonial"

"Archaic"

"Backward"

These are the arrogant sentiments of the liberal media and LGBT activists when it comes to normalizing homosexual behaviors and transgender ideologies. They cast anyone who opposes the rank promotion of perversion as "backward", "not with it", or worse yet "bigoted".

It's stunning and sad to see how biased, how bereft of integrity the media have become around the world. They need to be held accountable for this deriliction of duty, and pro-family activists must stick to their convictions and confront such chronological snobbery categorically.

Delusional Left-wing Professor: "There's More Than Enough Evidence to Impeach Trump"

MoveOn.org has been extra busy sending out eblasts to raise money.

They are desperate to have at least one Democratic win in the sea of special elections.

They need to demonstrate that left-wing thought can still flex some relevant muscle in American politics, even though Americans are tired of having left-wing talking points and progressive politics shoved down their throats. The working men and women of Middle America are tired of being shamed just because they are ... Americans.

Or because they are working.

Or because they are Middle Class.

Or because they are white.

Or because they own guns.

Or because they read their Bibles.

The arrogance of the Obama Administration, the destructive agenda of the illiberal activists and bureaucrats, had so angered the widespread American electorate, they were ready for Trump.

They voted for the end to political correctness, and for the resurgence of American correctness.

And that's they way it should be.

Of course, arrogant, out of touch liberal elites like Robert Reich just can't stand the vast majority of "uneducated" Americans who love their country and do not want to see their nation, their homeland turned into a second-tier European wasteland.

Too bad!

The Left has lost all moral compass. They have no capacity for restraint.

And according to the latest eblast from MoveOn.org, they are completely out of touch with reality.

Yes, Reich actually believes that there is evidence to justify the impeaching of President Donald Trump. Even though every major player in the wannabe Russia scandal, the obstruction of justice scandal, the email hacking, the DNC fraud scandals have all testified, and Democrats and Republican agree that there is no evidence of collusion.

Reich must have Trump impeached!

Yet even if Trump does get impeached--how does anyone expect 67 US Senators to vote to remove him from office?!

They are insane.

"Must impeach Trump! Must Impeach Trump!

But don't take my word for it. Check out the first part of the last MoveOn.org eblast:

Dear MoveOn member,

Let's talk about impeachment.

Yes, and how Democrats will never hope to accomplish it. They do not have the majority in the House, and even the most anti-Trump of Republican House Reps would never lift a finger to help move the impeachment forward.

It just won't happen. The House seats across the country are too closely gerrymandered to permit them that kind of freedom. Most Republican House reps are more worried about a primary challenge than a general election fight.

There's more than enough evidence to begin an impeachment inquiry to remove Donald Trump from office.

NOPE!

The three previous impeachment inquiries in the House (involving presidents Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton) rested on less evidence than is already publicly known about Trump—and on issues far less serious than the Trump team's possible collusion with a foreign adversary to win the election and Trump's subsequent attempted cover-up.

The impeachment of Andrew Johnson was brazenly political. The Republicans in the US Senate ultimately did not impeach Johnson, even though they opposed him. Most history buffs and civics students forget to this day that Johnson was not a Republican, but a Democrat whom the embattled Abraham Lincoln brought onto the 1864 ticket to ensure that Union Democrats would vote for his re-election.

But impeachment is a political process. Republicans will support impeachment only if they think that they'll lose their jobs by enabling Trump's transgressions. And even if it does take Democrats until the 2018 elections to take back control of the House and pass an impeachment resolution, we have to start pushing now and be ready to go the moment we take back power. 

As I mentioned above, Republicans are more worried about a primary challenge than a general election contest. If they vote to impeach President Trump, they can kiss their re-election bids good-bye. The RNC has raised a record amount of money, and even the most embattled Republicans, almost all of them in California, voted to repeal Obamacare, knowing full well that they would face the wrath of the organized Left-Win AstroTurf group Indivisible. Jeff Denham and Darrell Issa face the toughest re-election bids, but even in California, in an off-year election, they are more likely to hold onto their seats.

That's why I was thrilled that last week MoveOn joined the call for Trump to be impeached. We need MoveOn to help build and sustain a massive amount of pressure on vulnerable Republicans to impeach Trump. It's not going to be easy, but the very future of our democracy hangs in the balance.

Now, why would MoveOn.org call for the impeachment of the President?

To raise money!

So I have a simple request: Will you join me in chipping in $5 a month to MoveOn to help give them the resources to ramp up and then sustain their efforts to impeach Trump?

For more evidence that the Left has left all of its senses, there's the consequences of a Pence Presidency to consider:

I hear some progressives say, "But Mike Pence is just as bad as Trump."

Yes, Pence is ultra far-right. As a progressive, I disagree with him on absolutely everything. But we know what to expect from Pence, and we can fight him on the issues. He's not the irresponsible and unpredictable man who currently sits in the Oval Office. (And, anyway, getting to the bottom of Trump's web of lies and cover-ups could very well take down multiple people in the White House, including Pence, or in the case of a Trump impeachment or resignation, leave a greatly diminished, compromised, lame-duck Pence in his stead.) 

The logic--or rather, illogic--is astounding. They fear Trump, calling him unpredictable, but Reich would welcome a Pence Presidency, even though he is far more likely to govern conservatively than any previous Republican administration in history, including Reagans's. The Democrats will wonder what they were thinking when Pence negotiates even more effective conservative reforms, and the liberal lunacy in Washington will have no political capital to spend.

And some Democrats in Congress say that we have to wait to pursue impeachment until Democrats take back the House in 2018.

Rubbish. It's absolutely the reverse.

The path to winning in 2018 (and thereafter) begins with Democrats in Congress showing the American people that they have the courage and backbone necessary to take back our nation. It means calling for the impeachment of Trump and holding politically accountable every single person in his administration and in the House and Senate who have enabled his disgrace of a presidency.

And it's not clear America can wait for the midterm elections, followed by what's likely to be a long and drawn-out impeachment investigation, followed by a trial in the Senate. Just look at the damage Trump has done in just 149 days as president. We need to act now. 

What damage, Robbie? What damage? His approval ratings are stable at 50%, and 94% of Republicans, including myself, have pledged that they would vote for Trump if the Presidential election were held today.

Plus, I'm in the camp that the "right" time to impeach isn't about when it's feasible in Congress … but about when the person in the Oval Office has committed high crimes and misdemeanors and recklessly and repeatedly violated the Constitution.

Where were you when Obama had violated numerous laws? Where were you when Obama was routinely ignoring Congress and issuing extensive, complicated executive orders in violation of our Constitution?

Final Reflection

There will be no impeachment of President Trump. Robert Reich is pushing the same hollow vanity that the left is desperate to hold to. They must find some way, anyway to get rid of Donald Trump. The notion that after 8 years  of Obama. President Trump is rolling back all the destructive, hateful, lawless policies is just too much for them. Their liberal, progressive Utopia is rolling back before their very eyes, and they can't do anything about it.

It's more than victory. It's consummate vindication for every American who was fed up, furious to see the American Dream turning into a dystopian, regressive nightmare.

And the left-wing activists and acolytes can only resort to violence and hate at this point--with long jail sentences to follow.

How much crow will the MoveOn.org Movement have to eat overe the next three months? How much indeed? That is, of course, if they have money, property, or resources left to eat crow ...

The Elitist Failure of KQED on Climate Change

The liberal media has not just lost touch with working people. The liberal is not even interested in telling the truth or just reporting the facts. The dedicated, rigorous agenda of the liberal media is propaganda at its worst.

And the blind-sighted arrogance has only gotten worse.

From the Bay Area Public Radio blog KQED:

Why Climate Change Continues to Be a Tough Sell

The title itself is misleading.

What does KQED mean by "climate change."

Are they talking about the four seasons? These are serious and series changes, nothing more. It happens all the time.

Are they talking about the sudden storms which hit the coastlines of California? 

The climate alarmists have also forgotten that in 1978 and in 2003, it snowed in Los Angeles! Yes, it snowed in Southern California. SoCal also experienced a mini ice age (of sorts) in the mid to late 1800s.

Does the article give any clarity to the meaning of "climate change"?

So, 2016 goes down in the books as the warmest year on record, globally. And a new report affirms that a “pause” in global warming, often cited by climate science contrarians, never happened. So that should settle this climate thing once and for all, right?

The record for warmest year "on record" is a necessary marker. Compared to what other time? 100 years ago? Two hundred years ago? There has indeed been a pause in global warming, as well as global cooling.

“Wrong,” seems to be the view of many Americans.

The question of how people make up their minds about climate change turns out to be complicated, which helps explain figures due to be released next week by Yale and George Mason Universities as part of the ongoing Six Americas study of climate attitudes. The project’s most recent survey shows that while seven in 10 U.S. adults believe that the planet is heating up, only about half (53 percent) will concede that human activity is driving it, despite overwhelming scientific evidence to that effect.

The planet gets warmer, gets cooler, but the argument that the changes in heat depend on human activity is still spurious information at best.

This passage especially showcases the smug arrogance of climate alarmists, who believe that because of their ivory tower learning, they know more than everyone else, and that the "common people of Middle America" don't know what is best for themselves:

“Government is the Problem”

The impulse to reject climate science goes to the heart of American culture.

“We have a long history of being suspicious about government,” says Oreskes, and for better or worse, the most meaningful countermeasures to climate change require some level of government intervention, such as regulating and taxing carbon emissions.

Individuals should be suspicious of government, since the extension of federal power comes at a great price to our wallets and our morals. The federal government's unprecedented reach into our lives, coupled with corruption, collusion, and waste, have rightly raised concerns for countless millions of Americans in this country.

Climate scientists are not following for this climate alarmism agenda. They recognize that the biggest drivers for this agenda come from government entities, and not independent scientists. Public universities are relying more on taxpayer dollars, and they are doing teh bidding of legislators, lawmakers, and the special interests behind them.

The cooling and warming periods in global history undermine the long-standing arguments of global warming proponents again and again.

Logic, reason, evidence, facts are immune to stations of class, race, of age. It is entirely a matter of fact and evidence, all of which fall under the scientific method, and they are not the exclusive purview of the university, the media, or Hollywood.

The reason why liberal websites and rages like KQED struggle for readers or respect is the utter disdain that the visit on Americans of diverse backgrounds, plus their committed inability to recognize that their liberal talking points are bunk of the lowest order.
