Army Bob: The Left freezes, doesn’t chill free speech

Now that the bunch of leftists who are against almost everything have purchased power with the help of the rich and powerful American Economic Royalty, a class that the socialists held in disdain until the Royals purchased their love, are in charge of the tiller of the ship of state, the list of things to change is long.

We will see the trade controls on the Chinese quietly go away; the media who normally did not know a tax they didn’t love will ignore the change because although the tariffs are good for the everyday folks. They are disastrous for the “nouveau riche” who purchased the Democrats’ undying affection with its resulting media support.

Gun control will be a hot topic. The left with the media’s blind partisan support, will go after “assault weapons,” “weapons of war, ” and scream “common sense gun control” — all classifications that mean nothing and are so”prophylactic in nature” as to be unconstitutional.

Who cares? It will be a smoke screen for the left changing trade laws, enriching the most affluent in Silicon Valley.

The new rich in their Lamborghinis bought and paid for the Democrats’ win and will be paid back handsomely. Destroying the Second Amendment to the Constitution with the help of the cooperative media will suck the oxygen out of the news, allowing the rich to reward the Chinese for COVID-19, costing President Donald Trump the election and the new benefactors of the left to get even more “filthy rich.”

Federal power expansion using the COVID-19 excuse (or as the left mantra goes, never let a good tragedy go to waste) will be an insect eating the fabric of the Constitution. Under the color of the virus we will see more double standards such as banning attendance at religious gatherings, but encouraging anti-police riots.

Simply look to what Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Pramilla Pressley, Rashida Tlaib and Mayor de Bill Blasio are saying: That gathering in protest is your right, but not worshiping in your church, or having a Fourth of July parade in Dorr. Folks, you can’t make this stuff up.

Green new deal (GND) must be front and center to placate the 5% radical left; an exceptionally large percent of the socialists who support the GND, I will wager, never read it. No matter, it has their undying support. Blindly supporting the socialist government is what socialism is about. The Green New Deal will not survive an examination by an unbiased free press, nor most people who bother to read it. Most of the end-of-the-world GND is a socialist manifesto that has been camouflaged as an environmental plan.

Remember the early GND guaranteed the end of the world in 10 years. In attempting to find just exactly when that end of the world promise was first made is perplexing. The GND first surfaced in 2008, more than 12 years ago. The GND has been rewritten and repurposed many times by many groups in many countries, and it has become a worthless document that is whatever happens to be politically correct doctrine at the moment.

The American National Socialist movement has grabbed hold of the GND, remolded it to fit their needs, and published a few versions. So, if a person tells you they support the Green New Deal, ask which one of the over 76 versions do they support, and why they are not dead?

‘Medicare for all’ is a mantra chanted by the left that also is deceptive. People over 65 pay into Medicare and have a co-pay; the left does not want either of those requirements. They want the government to pay all, or single payer; they disguise single payer as Medicare for all, more bait and switch. Point out the devious practices and you are a heartless Nazi who wants to see people die in the streets. The left doesn’t chill free speech, they freeze it solid.

The left is promoting the Green New Deal, social justice, common sense gun control, repurposing or eliminating the police, Medicare for all, and fairness (whatever that means). The devil is in the details and the left is short on details; just trust them, the media blindly does.

  • Please accept my apologies for any grammatical or spelling errors in this article. I mistakenly submitted a rough draft of this article and not the final copy. Again, my apologies.

  • How are paying tariffs good for every day folks? Trump collected millions of dollars in tariffs paid by Americans. How was paying the tariffs good for the people paying them?

  • Mr. Beck,
    Thanks for the question.
    The answer is jobs, the Chinese subsidized their products to make them cheaper than ones made in the United States, the result was manufacturing jobs being made in China and lost in the United States, hundreds of thousand of everyday folks lost jobs. The Chinese had tariffs on American made products closing their markets to our products. Fair trade is the goal, I lived in a country that had a 100% tariff on American automobiles a $20,000 car cost $40,000 in that country, we had none on their cars coming to America, an example of unfair trade, the Chinese did it with thousands of products.
    Thanks again.

  • The manufacturing jobs were moved to China to make a profit for the U.S. owners. Business will pay the least to make the profits that the quarterly reports Wall Street demands stay on the plus side.
    Simple fact of business. Jobs went to Mexico, jobs went to South Korea. Wall Street demands the profits every quarter or stock prices go down. Still don’t see how paying a tariff helps the individual paying it.
