How leftists and conservatives address nations problems

Think about how the left addresses each of the widely discussed and growing problems of this nation.  And then consider the approach of conservatives for each of these issues.  You will notice that the leftist/democrat approach aggravates and worsens the problem while the conservatives approach reduces the problem.

Here are a few examples:

Homelessness

Homeless encampments are mushrooming in many democrat run cities.  The left promotes government programs, policies and handouts to make life for the homeless easier (it’s all about emotional “feel good” policies for leftists).  These are typically comprised of:

• Allowing the homeless use public spaces for their tents and other living arrangements
• Providing food handouts
• Providing drug needles
• Not enforcing vagrancy and loitering laws
• Promoting (advertising) the public policies and programs that attract more homeless and disincentivize employment and independence.

Conservatives tend to do the opposite, primarily:

• Enforcing laws against vagrancy and loitering
• Prohibiting use of public spaces and rights-of-way for homeless camps
• Providing “back to work” incentives
• Not facilitating and enabling drug use

Drug addicts

Drug addiction is a worthwhile behavior for the left.  It gives them more control power and influence.  This is why they:

• Promote open borders to let in the cartels, drug lords and tons of opiates.
• Distribute drug paraphernalia to addicts
• Defund law enforcement
• Have “no bail” provisions (let them out on the street) for various drug-related offenses
•  Promote repealing of drug laws 

Again, conservatives promote the opposite:

• Close the borders and closely vet and monitor those who do cross over legally
• Increase capability to both stop the supply entering the nation and well as the distribution and use through strict enforcement.
• Have stricter incarceration provisions for offenders.

Gun violence

The left prefers eliminating the 2nd amendment.  Short of that they promote making various types of guns illegal (they believe the gun has a mind of its own when it decides to shoot people), limiting magazine capacity, imposing exorbitant taxes on guns and ammo, requiring a centralized nationwide permit system, requiring onerous liability requirements for firearm manufacturers, creating a “social credit” system for the right to bear arms, and prohibit the carry of guns in dozens of public venues.  The left fails to acknowledge that the places with the strictest gun laws have the most gun violence.

Conservatives believe that if guns were more freely carried by the general population in more places, unlawful shootings would be discouraged. More importantly, if existing laws were more effectively enforced, prosecuted, with offenders incarcerated for appropriate durations – not as nicey nice rehab, but as punishment, gun violence would be reduced.  And finally, conservatives have much greater respect not only for the rule of law, but for the essential role of the family and religion in our culture.  The left opposes these things.

Illegal immigrants

The left believes in a global authority, disdains nationhood – especially that of the United States, and thus believes in open borders and free entry of people from any and all nations.  They do not believe that a national identity and culture is worth preserving.  They believe “diversity is our strength” as opposed to our “outdated” national motto of “out of many, one.”  Their quest for diversity denies the reality of “in unity there is strength.”  And they blame the other side for our nation’s divisiveness.

Conservatives want strong borders so that only those who respect our culture and laws and who would add to our nations success and prosperity would be allowed entry.  It used to be that way.  Conservatives respect the concept of “nation” and believe the US has a history and identity worth preserving, although many are beginning to have doubts.

Inflation

The left prefers passing laws, enlarging the federal government, creating more programs and spending hundreds of billions falsely believing that those actions will reduce inflation.  They gut the fossil fuel industry through taxation, withholding permits, and halting pipeline construction.  All of that eliminates our energy independence and dramatically raises energy costs for agriculture, transportation, electricity, and manufacturing while becoming more dependent on enemy nations for that resource.

Conservatives would reduce the size of the federal government, reduce taxes, eliminate many cost-increasing federal regulations, and increase domestic fossil fuel production.

Energy

The lefts policies have eliminated the major sources of domestic energy production causing us to rely on undependable foreign sources. The left promotes the myth of “human-caused global warming”, especially the “evil” US-caused global warming.  This half-baked science causes the left to invoke half-baked policies of “green energy” which is several decades ahead of feasibility.  In the meantime – meantime being the next several decades – the US will be forced into an energy deficit and much much higher energy prices.  As Biden’s protégé, Barack Hussein Obama, famously said, “Under my Plan … Electricity Rates Would Necessarily Skyrocket”.  All the while the mining of “green energy” battery components and use of windmills are raping the landscape and killing wildlife.

Conservatives would assure the US once again becomes and remains energy independent.  We would continue the robust development of fossil fuels while incentivizing the development of alternative energy sources, including nuclear.

Which side of these issues would you feel most comfortable on?

No bias, no conflict of interest…sure thing…

This afternoon Attorney General Merrick Garland declared that he personally approved the decision for the search warrant for Donald Trump’s home.  He did not announce why.

Except most can guess, and the optics smell really foul.

As many might recall, Garland is one and the same Garland who sought a post on the US Supreme Court, but was stymied by the Trump administration.  Retributional conflict of interest much?  Then in his next breath during his remarkably brief press conference he pleads with the public to not have any ill will toward the Department of Justice.

What, me persecute?

The other foul smelling thing is the Florida judge who approved the Mar-a-Lago raid was Bruce Reinhart.  Bruce helped Jeffrey Epstein through his pedophilia and sex trafficking troubles.   He was also a large contributor to the 2008 Obama campaign.

There are so many foul smelling aspects to this ongoing persecution.  More than enough to cause one to think that they are doing all they can to assure Trump doesn’t run for President again.

Trouble is, anyone who is as effective at promoting and implement similar policies as Trump will most likely receive the same treatment.

Nation under siege from within!

Any Way the Wind Blows…

Feathers and Sails.

Many of our nation’s leaders have the moral conviction of a feather.  Along comes a new amoral fad and they follow it like a feather in the wind.  Why?  Because it’s cool.  It’s popular. It gets votes from the “folks” and buyers from the fad driven marketplace. 

Do our leaders direct our ship of state?  Hardly.  Again, the “wind” is our perverse pop culture. Our ship of state is rudderless – driven and directed only by the wind.  The “sails” are our “leaders”, both corporate and governmental.  These “leaders” take the entire ship of state any way the wind blows.

We have few real leaders.  Mostly sails and feathers.

One among hundreds of examples:  The Pennsylvania governor champions their gay pride event where children are taught to pole dance.

“A [gay/pervert] pride event in Pennsylvania that reportedly taught children how to pole dance received a $10,000 grant championed by Gov. Tom Wolf’s (D) administration.”

Corporations are not any better. Disney in Florida fights governor DeSantis tooth and nail to promote their gay-pervert agenda.  Yet in Muslim countries they tow the moral line.

“After picking a political fight with Florida over the state’s Parental Rights in Education Law, and declaring itself an LGBTQ ally to boot, Disney is reportedly censoring gay and transgender content on the version of the Disney+ streaming service that it launched in the [Middle East Muslim] region in June.”

Even parents, whether dedicated, moral and upstanding or drug addicted derelicts, will support and defend the criminal or perverted behaviors of their offspring.  “He’s a good kid” they exclaim of their drug addict, shoplifting, or transvestite child.  They jettison any moral conviction they might have held to pander to their kin.

Other family members behave the same.  Dick Chaney’s daughters are one example. Daughter Mary is a lesbian. Daughter Liz is a RINO.  Liz supports gays to defend her sister.  How noble.

How shallow our “Christian” beliefs have been.  How fickle our moral actions really are.

Sails and feathers. Any way the wind blows.
