Don’t Look for “Moderates” in a Mob

With the recent and sudden surge of Joe Biden in the democrat’s presidential primary, the liberal mob that runs the modern Democrat Party want Americans to believe that they have shunned extremism, and now have a palatable “moderate” on the verge of leading their party into the November elections. Don’t be fooled. With his recent “nasty” display in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, Senator Chuck Schumer—the democrat’s Senate Minority Leader—again reminded us that there are few, if any, “moderates” left in today’s Democrat Party.

Senator Schumer’s direct threat to Supreme Court Justices aside, the fact that the democrats are almost completely bereft of moderates should have been clear long ago. Recall, almost exactly a year ago, 44 Senate democrats—including Schumer and all six Senate democrats who were vying to become President of the United States—voted against the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. In other words, these so-called “moderates” voted to protect what could only be described as infanticide.

Again, no one should’ve been surprised by this. For decades the “party of death” has dehumanized the unborn and argued against protecting the most innocent and helpless among us, even when they escaped death in their mother’s womb. In order to further their wicked sexual agenda, democrats at the highest levels have taken some of the most radically gruesome views of life in the womb. Thus, it should also come as little surprise that those who would take such views have resorted to mob tactics in order to further their evil objectives.

As I have noted on multiple occasions, nearly two decades ago, no less than Barack Obama, himself, took a position on children who survived abortion that can only be described as infanticide. Obama, while a member of the Illinois state Senate, opposed multiple versions of an Illinois bill that mirrored the federal Born-Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA).

In 2001, the Illinois legislature took up a bill that was patterned after the federal BAIPA. Obama voted against this bill in committee. On the floor of the Illinois Senate, he later gave the only speech against the bill, saying, “I mean, it—it would essentially bar abortions, because the equal protection clause does not allow somebody to kill a child, and if this is a child, then this would be an antiabortion statute.” Because, of course, we need the “equal protection clause” to tell us that we shouldn’t kill our children.

In the 1990s, Bill Clinton twice vetoed a bill banning the gruesome—and unnecessary—practice known as partial-birth abortion. It took the election of George W. Bush to turn such a bill into law. After the ban on partial-birth abortion was narrowly upheld (5-4) by the U.S. Supreme Court, then Senator Obama denounced this SCOTUS decision. In 2008, Presidential candidate Obama promised to sign the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA).

As Rich Lowry pointed out in 2012,

[FOCA] would enshrine in federal law a right to abortion more far-reaching than in Roe v. Wade and eliminate basically all federal and state-level restrictions on abortion. This isn’t a point its supporters contest; it’s one they brag about. The National Organization for Women says it would “sweep away hundreds of anti-abortion laws [and] policies.”

With such wicked thinking long dominating today’s Democrat Party, why is anyone surprised that a politician devoted to protecting the “right” to kill the most innocent and helpless among us—the unborn—would go so far as to threaten Justices who are seen as a threat to this so-called “right?” When Schumer threatened Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, he knew his audience. He was simply employing the oft-used language of angry pro-abortionists.

Likewise, it should also come as no surprise that Senator Schumer would use the language frequently employed by truth-hating liberals on college and university campuses throughout the U.S. Encouraged and led on by the “educated” liberal elites—who are nothing if not cheerleaders and propagandists for today’s Democrat Party—for years now, all across American campuses, millions of young self-worshipping ignorant fools have been perfecting their mob tactics.

Today, campus conservative speakers—especially Christian conservatives—often face harassment, threats—like those Schumer hurled at Gorsuch and Kavanaugh—and sometimes actual violence. Schumer’s recent actions almost certainly guarantee that such mob tactics will continue.

Whether these campus cronies, Black Lives Matters, angry vegans, Antifa fascists, pro-abortion radicals, intolerant LGBT bullies (who are now so nasty that they’re driving out their own), greedy socialists, and the like, such thugs are rampant within today’s Democrat Party. Thus—whether Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Maxine Waters, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and so on—the leaders of these thugs are often prone to using thuggish and mob-like language and tactics.

Joe Biden as the democrat’s presidential nominee is not going to change this. In other words, Joe Biden is no “moderate.” As Chris Stigall at Townhall recently noted,

Biden wants huge tax hikes, open borders, limitless abortion, and trillions in spending on a man-made climate change hoax that proudly destroys good-paying energy jobs.

Oh, and he wants to put Beto O’Rourke in charge of gun control. Yes, the same Beto O’Rourke who said the government simply “wouldn’t allow” certain legal firearms any longer. “Yes, we’re going to take your guns,” he said proudly in a 2019 debate.

Jonathon Mosely, who once helped run a campaign against Biden, has spent hundreds of hours chronicling Biden’s radical liberalism. Last year, Mr. Mosely published a list revealing Biden’s liberal credentials. Some of his lowlights:

• Biden was then the third most liberal U.S. senator, according to The National Journal, based on Biden’s 2006 voting record. Biden's U.S. Senate votes were rated more liberal than Ted Kennedy's.
• Biden earned an “F” (11%) from the National Taxpayers Union for his Senate votes in 2006, as a “Big Spender.”
• Biden voted to provide social benefits to illegal aliens in May 2006.
• Biden supported a path to citizenship for illegal aliens.
• Biden received an “F” from the National Rifle Association.
• Biden received a rating of 16% by the Christian Coalition for his anti-family voting record.
• Biden voted to allow gun-manufacturers to be sued by trial lawyers.
• Biden was given a 32% approval rating from the United States Chamber of Commerce, indicating an anti-business voting record.
• Biden voted against parental notification before underage girls have abortions (which could be covering up statutory rape by older men).
• Biden was the most pro-abortion senator in the U.S. Senate, not only for his beliefs, but because of his relentless manipulation of the confirmation process for judges, to frustrate the will of the American people, and his distortion of the legal system to promote abortion.
• Biden led the left-wing political lynching of Robert Bork in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
• Biden received a 0% rating from the National Right to Life Committee for his votes during the 107th Congress.

What’s more, like Bernie Sanders, Biden has embraced the socialist fantasy that is the “Green New Deal.” He’s recently said that he would be willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of American jobs in the fossil fuel industry in order to “transition to a green economy.” However, as Kevin Williamson recently put it, Biden’s no socialist, just “a scoundrel,”—or, if you prefer, “a vicious partisan, a coward, and a habitual liar.” Put another way, Biden is right at home in the mob that is the modern Democrat Party.

None of these fools deserve to be in political power, especially not as the President of the United States.

The Wicked Gender-Deluded Mob Must be Defeated

Most mobs are dangerous, but this is especially true of a mob on the wrong side of one of the oldest truths in the history of humanity. Dealing with the gender-deluded mob is like engaging a throng of toddlers throwing a coordinated temper-tantrum. You can’t reason with them. As a wise, loving, and moral parent would, you merely bring an end to the nonsense with whatever appropriate force is necessary.

Like a toddler pitching a fit to eat cookies for dinner, if you are so askew in your thinking that you believe “gender is a spectrum,” or that biology is bigotry, you don’t deserve to be heard, and you certainly don’t deserve a debate. You must simply be brought into line. If this doesn’t happen, as is the case with an undisciplined child who grows into a wild teenager and then a foolish adult, disaster looms.

Driven by the perverse LGBT agenda, while aided and abetted by the ignorant and immoral mainstream media and the devilish Democrat Party, “transgender” disasters are playing out all around us. While some of these disasters have “only” resulted in an adult temper tantrum, a lawsuit, or the loss of a job, others have literally put lives in danger, including those of children.

Recently, when a GameStop employee in Albuquerque, New Mexico failed to address a dude dressed like a lady as “ma’am,” an f-bomb-laced outburst ensued. (“She” sounded hideous, but “she’s” a guy, so…) Along with being berated by foul language, the poor store clerk was threatened with assault. Isn’t it amazing how quickly these large dudes who want to be women threaten violence?

Knowing that such physical confrontation would almost certainly end badly for them, few real women would react such a way toward a man. As in the NCAA, I think that before any angry “trans female” (a gender-deluded male) can physically threaten another man, he must first have gone through at least one year of testosterone suppression treatment. Of course, if he really wanted to be a “ma’am” then he would need a complete genetic makeover, which is, of course, impossible.

If we only had to endure tantrums and threats from the gender-deluded, we could probably get past this, but tragically, things are much worse. More than once I’ve written of how boys pretending to be girls or men pretending to be women have taken trophies from actual female athletes. While very sad, such foolishness has rarely been dangerous. However, when men insist—and like-minded officials agree—that biological males must be allowed to compete with women in physically violent sports such as football, someone is going to get hurt.

According to the Daily Wire recently,

Christina Ginther, a biological man who identifies as a woman, won a discrimination lawsuit this week after being rejected from playing on an all-women’s Minnesota football team due to safety concerns.

Ginther, who's nearly 6 feet tall and a second-degree black belt in karate, was awarded a total of $20,000 with the legal win: $10,000 in punitive damages and $10,000 for emotional distress.

While awaiting the outcome of the lawsuit, the 46-year-old Ginther—pictured below (guess which one he is!)—played in a different women’s football league.

So here we have a man pretending to be a woman so he can play a man’s sport. This dude is really warped. If you’re a man who wants to compete against women in sports, at least do it in something where you’re not likely to hurt someone physically. Try something like volleyball, or bicycling, or weight lifting, or track. In these non-contact sports, you can still look like a “beast” (literally and figuratively) and dominate the competition, but you’re probably not going to hurt anyone—at least not physically.

Prison is often a “contact sport,” and thanks to further leftist evil, female inmates have never been in more danger. Stephen Wood—who now prefers to be called “Karen White”—is a convicted pedophile and was accused and imprisoned for repeatedly raping a woman in 2016. Thanks to “enlightened” liberals, this male rapist was placed in a female prison. Doing what rapists do, Wood sexually assaulted four female inmates.

Winning a year-long battle against the Illinois Department of Corrections, Deon Hampton—a male who is attempting the impossible (to “transition” to a female)—has been transferred from a male prison to a female prison. In addition, according to the Chicago Tribune, in response to Hampton’s lawsuit, a federal judge has ordered statewide training on transgender issues for all corrections staff. I wonder if the training will include what I noted years ago, and what everyone with even a modicum of common sense already suspected:

The fact that males are more aggressive and more violent is reflected by their anatomy itself; in many animals species they are heavier, more muscular, better armed with means of attack and defense. In humans, for example, the arms of men are, on average, 75 percent more muscular than those of women; and the top of a male body is 90 percent stronger that the top of a female body [Bohannon, 1997; Abe et al., 2003, apud Goetz, 2010, p. 16]. Also, men are taller, they have denser and heavier bones, their jaw is more massive, their reaction time is shorter, their visual acuity is better, their muscle/fat ratio is greater, their heart is bulkier, their percentage of hemoglobin is higher, their skin is thicker, their lungs bigger, their resistance to dehydration is higher etc. In other words, from all points of view, men are more suited for battle than women, and these skills are native.

Of course, there are never battles in prisons, right? Otherwise, incarcerating men with women might not be such a good idea, after all.

Combat by definition is filled with battles, and thanks to the Obama administration's “historic transformation of the American military,” we now have American women in combat roles. This will put the lives of military men and women in greater danger, but this is what happens when liberal dogma trumps science and morality. Armed with long-known science, Mike Fredenburg at National Review noted,

Men’s blood carries 10 to 12 percent more oxygen per liter than does women’s…Pound for pound, men have thicker skulls, bigger, stronger necks, hearts that are 17 percent larger, and bones that are both bigger and denser…When confronted with immediate danger, studies suggest men are “more likely than women to take action.” Women are far more likely to experience motion sickness and vertigo. In the Navy women go on sick call 60 to 70 percent more frequently. For the kind of violent events and situations found on the battlefield, women are far more likely to develop post-traumatic stress disorder and experience the symptoms for a longer duration than men. Despite the gender-specific ability to handle the pain of childbirth, “study after study” conclusively shows that men have a much higher overall tolerance for pain than women.

Denying liberal dogma on gender doesn’t just put you in physical danger, it may also cost you your job. Undeterred by a ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court (take note, Christian conservatives), the state of Colorado, and like-minded gender fools, is again out to destroy Jack Phillips financially. Instead of using homosexuality and same-sex “marriage” to attack Mr. Phillips, this time the Colorado Civil Rights Commission is armed with the dubious accusations of a vicious gender-deluded activist.

Peter Vlaming, a devout Christian, was recently fired from his job teaching French at a Virginia public school because he refused to bow to the LGBT mob. In the summer of 2018, the British National Health Service fired a medical doctor because “he refused to identify patients as being of a sex that they did not see themselves as,” because, you know, science!

Most vulnerable in this absurd debate are the children who are the targets of adults who harbor gender delusions. Liberals across the U.S.—including those at ABC’s Good Morning America—have recently celebrated (read: sexualized) a child “drag queen.” His parents have even recently allowed the 11 year-old boy to “perform” at a homosexual night club.

Across the U.S., children are being indoctrinated into the perverse transgender agenda via “Drag Queen Story Time.” In addition, some foolish parents are allowing their deceived children to destroy their otherwise healthy bodies—many times at the risk of the child’s life—with surgeries, dangerous drugs, and other forms of physical mutilation.

Little of this would be possible without a complicit medical community. In what should be regarded as malpractice and child abuse, doctors in the most medically advanced—but morally corrupt—nations in the world are encouraging what science has long said was impossible. Again, sex reassignment doesn’t work, and it never will.

According to Dr. David Page, Director of the Whitehead Institute and professor of biology at MIT, genetically speaking, men are as different from women as they are from chimpanzees. I hear no arguments in support of the “right” of men to “transition” to chimps—at least not yet, anyway. Most women I know would prefer that deluded men—at least the hairy ones—would pursue “chimphood” instead of womanhood. I think it’s because we make better looking chimps than we do women.

Liberals are so blinded by their ideology in this debate that we now have more legislation in support of delusion. With the dawn of 2019, New York City now allows a new option on birth certificates: gender “x.” (Professor X is said to be thrilled, as enrollment in his school is likely to skyrocket.) We should expect no less from the modern left. Such idiocy is little different than calling the union of two homosexuals a “marriage.”

In other words, there’s a “galaxy of genetic differences between men and women,” and no surgery, no drug, no amount of make-up or attire, and certainly no law is going to change that. Any efforts to the contrary must be stopped. Lives and livelihoods are at stake.
