The left: it has hit the slippery slope

Dr. Nick Waddy,  (who posts prolifically and convincingly at Waddyisright.com) made a very good point in response to my Cuomo the Calculating post on this site and I'd like to presume to develop on it. He said the Dems appear to be so confidently contemptuous of President Trump that they are newly emboldened to be frank about their real intentions. I think it is happening, at least in an ascendent and perhaps potentially dominant faction of the Dems and that it may be a decisive development., which could contribute mightily to the reelection and prospering of our good President.

Saul Alinsky, the sage of the New Left, bade radicals conceal their extremism until they had  achieved final and irrefutable power and Marxists like Hillary and Barack Obama and even reflexive do gooders like Mario Cuomo paid that perceptive advice good heed.

Bernie Sanders has always been completely honest about his consummate hostility to American free enterprise, economic justice, health well being and our law making process.  His considerable success in 2016 appears to have inspired others on the left to abandon Alinskyite restraint and to hold forth with abandon on their frankly radical views and intentions and to give ever more dependable notice of how it will be for all who doubt them, should they take full power.

A telling present example is frantic N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who lacks his father Mario's tact, his at least vestigial respect for traditional American values and his wise recognition that his "New Yawk know it all" image denied him national office. Now that Andrew wields dictatorial power within N.Y. the insufferable self righteousness and disdain for opposing views he shares with his Dad has found enthusiastic and histrionic affirmation in his joyous imposition of his bigoted views on his subjects.    His public ecstatic  celebration (Celebration!) of his massive augmentation of the ability to kill unborn babies at will was ghoulish in the extreme; he actually had State office buildings (including one named after Al Smith, a Catholic ) lit to commemorate  a development profoundly disturbing to a multitudinous segment of the population of his principality of humbled N.Y . He has presented his new command extending the rights of youthful victims of sexual abuse to bring their victimizers to justice as mainly a necessary curb on a Catholic Church which is a yet cherished institution in N.Y. and which now stands fully alarmed by his obvious disdain for it.  He has reaffirmed his commitment to the energetic harassment of lawful gunowners as they exercise a Constitutionally confirmed right which he regards as discredited.  Many of us have long been aware of such convictions in him but he appears to be blithe to wear them on his sleeve now and apparently to believe they enhance his Presidential ambitions.

Fortunate for the right to life is the   Virginia Governor's recent admission of support for abortion laws which may cause the live birth of babies for whom "decision" would then be made as to their continued sojourn among the living. Tell me Governor, your being knowledgeable on this procedure, in case of termination, what method of execution would be employed? This casual matter of fact statement by this feckless and soon to be banished man may have been a faux pas on his part but never doubt its veracity and embrace by the abortionists.  Its good, though yet appalling, to have such a window into their profoundly wrongheaded and, in this, inhuman, minds.

Here's the real kicker though:  a national news service reports, just by the way dontcha know, a proposal by the precocious Infanta, yet new born Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez of again, N.Y.(AOC as she is already fashioned by those who expect her swift rise to the very top ), of a "Green New Deal", God help us all. Now this plan is not lacking in breathtaking  presumption mind you. It would "eliminate U.S. greenhouse emissions and REMAKE THE ECONOMY (oh that's all?) by phasing out all use of fossil fuels within a decade".  Wellll! The report  does opine (naturally) that this plan stands little chance of immediate implementation; my, that is a consolation to my troubled mind.

Picture a young JFK championing, in the midst of the economic boom of the mid '50s, a measure "to completely transform this neodepression  economy we suffer from now". Richard  Nixon would have become President in 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis would never have happened. Perhaps then we ought to embrace AOC's seminal outlook, yes!  Maybe not.

Our current economic fortune notwithstanding: completely rejected by her airy dorm room style conjecture is the fact that the U.S. already leads the world's major economic engines in reducing carbon emissions, due to the resolutely opposed by "environmental" fanatics ,yet decisive, exploitation of the U.S. one thousand year reserve of clean natural gas. There is not, despite the haughty disdain of the myopic and arrogant U.S. "green" crowd , any conclusive scientific evidence that recent possible climatological change is attributable to the maliciousness of profligate mankind  and its certain that  the elitist views of affluent Western liberals have little purchase with nations such as China and India emerging from unimaginable poverty (and, yes, liking it even) .  But still we have made a creditable effort to address the possibility. That is of no moment to AOC and her acolytes because it denies to such as her an issue she and her ilk hope to ride to totalitarian triumph.

Dr. Waddy is right. A very significant America hating segment of the Dem ( I can't stand to call them Democrats - they are fundamentally anti democracy) party now thinks it a winning position to openly advocate the radical transformation of our country on terms murderously and historically disproven by the thoroughly tried Marxist experiment of the 20th century. They actually think our President as impotent as to have opened a once in  a lifetime door for their intrusion into our national health and life. It sets up yet another existential decision (perhaps comparable to that of the 1864 Presidential election which was the last hope of the Confederacy) for our country. Let's face this head on and take full advantage of the ill inspired turn of the Dems to reckless leftist adventurism.  Don't be deceived by their possible embrace of Biden. Poor dear, he would open the gate to their most savage and totalitarian cadre and dictators. Jack
