Daily Jot: Scorched earth lunacy – Bill Wilson –
The big brouhaha over the communist sisterhood “The Squad” has turned into an acerbic moment for the media to showcase its bias and for the so-called “progressives” to take center stage in proving the point that anything said against them will be twisted into racism and bigotry. President Donald Trump tweeted that Democratic Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), Ilhan Omar (MN), Rashida Tlaib (MI) and Ayanna Pressley (MA) hated the United States and Israel and should leave the country if they are not happy here. Trump also said they could go back where they came from, although the media points out that only one is from a country other than the US. Trump picked a fight with the Marxists.
Trump said, “These are people that hate our country, They hate it, I think, with a passion. Now it’s possible I’m wrong. The voter will decide. But when I hear the way they talk about our country – when I hear the anti-Semitic language they use, when I hear the hatred they have for Israel – and the love they have for enemies like al Qaeda – then you know what? I will tell you that I do not believe this is good for the Democrat Party.”Trump did not refer to or demean these congresswomen’s gender or race in his tweets. He most certainly could have used different words, and have checked his facts about their countries of origin, but at the end of the day, his point was that these Congresswomen did not love America.
Notwithstanding, these congresswomen held a news conference. They did not deny that they hated America and Israel, but they labeled Trump a “blatant racist.” And the news media is backing them. This underscores the Marxist doctrine of twisting words, ignoring the charges, and accusing others to advance the agenda. Because all four of these US Representatives are women of color, and Trump called them out on their remarks against America and Israel-which have been many-they characterize him as a racist. If you disagree with someone on what they say or do or believe, you risk being labeled. This is the lowest common denominator of modern politics. It’s a textbook page from Marxist and Fascist propaganda.
NBC reports that Omar said in the news conference, “This is the agenda of white nationalists, whether it is happening in chat rooms or happening in national TV. And now it’s reached the White House garden.” So every time Trump opens his mouth about the hateful remarks of Omar regarding Israel, it is the white nationalist agenda? Isn’t what she said in of itself a bigoted remark? This is so ridiculous that there is no opportunity for civil debate on how to solve the nation’s problems. There is no safe place for respectful dialogue. Its scorched earth lunacy. As is written in Isaiah 5:20, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
