I recently received criticism on a MeWe group for sharing a
Justin Smith post entitled “Liberty
First and Foremost”. The beginning of Justin’s essay said this:
The Democratic Party has grown
to be the enemy within our country, and the communist Democrats working in
federal positions are the same as foreign agents infiltrated into federal
agencies, seeking to do whatever is needed to end this republic.
Chris Worth at this MeWe group said something to the effect
he read equating the Dems to a “Communist” and decided the post was
worthless and hence encouraged readers there was no need to read further.
That kind of irked me. So, I quipped he should read the Dem
Party Platform to see the Communism dripping from the words.
Essentially Chris Worth called bull and challenged me to
show where Communism was found in the Dem Platform.
Ergo the purpose of this post.
The Democratic Party Platform is updated every 4 years
corresponding to Presidential elections. The 2016
Dem platform true to Socialist/Communist ideology to fool the
people, disguises their words to sound appealing, yet when compared to the less
likely to disguise Socialist/Marxist agenda of making decisions rather than
offering choices is quite apparent. The DNC Platform is 50 pages of disguised
flowery promises impossible for the most part to accomplish without bankrupting
government and/or taxing “We The People” so heavily that no one will ever
manage their own affairs without government -cough-
guidance.
Here’s a summary
of the 50-page platform with a little added commentary:
Bioethics Issues
Supports appointing judges who
defend abortion rights.
Opposes efforts to limit or prohibit
taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood.
Opposes any laws that limit
abortion.
Supports the repeal of the Hyde
Amendment, which prohibits federal funds from being used for abortion services.
Supports free abortion and
contraceptives for all women.
Supports “sexual and reproductive
health and rights around the globe.”
Opposes the “global gag rule” and
the Helms Amendment that bars American assistance to abortion throughout the
developing world.
Here’s the Socialist/Marxist rub on “Abortion Rights”. There
is NO WHERE in the U.S. Constitution guaranteeing a right to kill unborn babies
for the primary purpose of exacting birth control for unwanted pregnancies. An
“Abortion Right” was created by a majority decision of SCOTUS using a frankly
UNCONSTITUTIONAL Living
Constitution paradigm
interpreting the Constitution NOT by what is written, instead ignoring what the
Constitution should mean. The Living Constitution paradigm ensures
an elite few rather than the Amendment/Convention of
States process prescribed by the Constitution (See Also LexisNexus
summary) to make the Rule of Law.
Dem Platform summary
continued:
Criminal Justice Reform
Supports reforming mandatory
minimum sentences and closing private prisons and detention centers.
Supports working with police chiefs
to invest in training for officers on issues such as de-escalation and the
creation of national guidelines for the appropriate use of force.
Encourages better police-community
relations.
Supports requiring the use of body
cameras.
Opposes the use of “weapons of war
that have no place in our communities.”
Opposes racial profiling that
targets individuals solely on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, or
national origin.
Supports a requirement to make the
Department of Justice investigate all “questionable or suspicious
police-involved shootings.”
Supports states and localities “who
help make those investigations and prosecutions more transparent, including
through reforming the grand jury process.”
Supports assisting states in
providing a system of public defense that is adequately resourced
and meets American Bar Association standards.
Supports reforming the civil asset forfeiture
system to “protect people and remove perverse incentives for law enforcement to
‘police for a profit.’”
Supports removing barriers to help
formerly incarcerated individuals successfully re-enter society by “banning the
box” (persuading employers to remove from their hiring applications the check
box that asks if applicants have a criminal record). Supports executive
action to “ban the box for federal employers and contractors, so applicants
have an opportunity to demonstrate their qualifications before being asked
about their criminal records.”
Supports expanding re-entry
programs, and restoring voting rights for felons.
Supports, whenever possible,
prioritizing prevention and treatment over incarceration when tackling
addiction and substance use disorder.
Endorses the use of effective
models of drug courts, veterans’ courts, and other diversionary programs that
“seek to give nonviolent offenders opportunities for rehabilitation as opposed
to incarceration.”
Supports abolishing the death penalty.
This dreamy sounding police reform if read carefully, smacks
of Big Government (i.e. The State, Big Brother, Comrade Leader, World Leader,
Alphas, Chairman, Supreme Leader, Führer … Obama) control of local lives.
Racism is bad, right? When race baiters begin victimizing the majority, who are
the racists. What is the correct view of Social Justice? Is usurping or
destroying property to mindlessly equalize a race or the poor for past wrongs
of Justice or
Injustice (socio-philosophy
& Biblical perspective)?
The Socialist/Communist/Democrat as evidenced by
history and recent events spurred on by Dems and their acolytes
(e.g. Antifa,
Black
Lives Matter, Militant
LGBTQ, etc.). The so-called reforms for Criminal Justice are code
words to enlist the disgruntled to control Americans that still respect the
Constitution as the Rule of Law and remember sacrifices that has led America
being a great nation.
Dem Platform Summary
Continued:
Discrimination and Racial Issues
Supports ending discrimination on
the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, language, religion, gender, age,
sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.
Supports promoting “racial justice
through fair, just, and equitable governing of all public-serving institutions
and in the formation of public policy.”
Supports removing the Confederate
battle flag from public properties, “recognizing that it is a symbol of our
nation's racist past that has no place in our present or our future.”
Calls for a “societal
transformation to make it clear that black lives matter and that there is no
place for racism in our country.”
Supports U.S. ratification of the
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.
Supports adding the Equal Rights
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Much of these flowery words are already covered by American
Rule of Law. Key terms deceptively slipped in that probably most voters who
agree that racism is bad and any form of discrimination against women is bad,
probably don’t understand that “sexual orientation and gender identity” mean
making the ungodly LGBTQ lifestyle normal ignoring the standard in Christian Morality
noting such a life is NOT natural. The Left has used activist Courts for
decades to AGAIN … transform society via the non-constitutional path of Leftist
Judicial Activism and Leftist media brainwashing.
I’ve had a bit of trouble locating a web page charting
American attitudes toward homosexuality. I suspect largely it is anathema to
show how much Americans viewed the LGBTQ as a perverse lifestyle. Here is an
article obviously supportive of homosexuality going through the “struggles” of
being homosexual and the American Rule of Law: Being Gay
Used to Be Illegal; 3/27/16.
I have mixed feelings on the old Confederate flag. While it
is a symbol of America’s slavery past it is also a period in history which
Americans deeply believed in their cause which divided America into its
bloodiest war when American killed American (uncannily similar to the
present - is there a Civil War emerging?).
Dem Platform Summary
Continued:
Drugs and Drug Abuse
Supports the federal government
removing marijuana from the list of “Schedule 1” federal controlled substances
and to appropriately regulate it, “providing a reasoned pathway for future
legalization.”
Supports states that want to
decriminalize marijuana or provide access to medical marijuana.
Supports policies that will allow
more research on marijuana, as well as reforming our laws to “allow legal
marijuana businesses to exist without uncertainty.”
Supports expanding “access to
prevention and treatment, supporting recovery, helping community organizations,
and promoting better practices by prescribers.”
Supports expanding access to care
for addiction services, and ensuring that insurance coverage is “equal to that
for any other health conditions.”
Such legislation should be along a State’s Rights issue.
This is a case that the Federal government observe:
The powers not delegated to the
United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are
reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
Dem Platform Summary Continued:
Education
Supports making community college
free for all students.
Supports the federal government
pushing “more colleges and universities to take quantifiable, affirmative steps
in increasing the percentages of racial and ethnic minority, low-income, and
first-generation students they enroll and graduate.”
Supports “ensuring the strength of
our Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-Serving
Institutions.”
Supports refinancing of current
student loan debt.
Supports simplifying and expanding
“access to income-based repayment so that no student loan borrowers ever have
to pay more than they can afford.”
Supports a student borrower bill of
rights to “ensure borrowers get adequate information about options to avoid or
get out of delinquency or default.”
Supports the Public Service Loan
Forgiveness and loan discharge programs “begun by the Obama Administration.”
Supports the inclusion of student
loans in bankruptcy.
Supports a moratorium on student
loan payments to all federal loan borrowers.
Supports restoring year-round Pell
funding.
Supports strengthening the gainful
employment rule to ensure that for-profit schools enable students to complete
their degrees and prepare them for work.
Supports the Department of
Education using their oversight to “close down those for-profit schools that
consistently engage in fraudulent and illegal conduct.”
Supports universal preschool for
all children.
Supports efforts to “raise wages
for childcare workers, and to ensure that early childhood educators are
experienced and high-quality.”
Supports increased investments in
afterschool and summer learning programs.
Encourages group mentoring
programs.
Encourage states to develop a
“multiple measures approach to assessment, and we believe that standardized
tests must be reliable and valid.”
Opposes use of standardized tests
that “falsely and unfairly label students of color, students with disabilities
and English Language Learners as failing.”
Opposes the use of standardized
test scores as basis for refusing to fund schools or to close schools.
Opposes the use of student test
scores in teacher and principal evaluations.
Support enabling parents to opt
their children out of standardized tests without penalty for either the student
or their school.
Supports a national campaign to
recruit and retain high-quality teachers.
Supports “high-quality STEAM
classes, community schools, computer science education, arts education, and
expand link learning models and career pathways.”
Supports ending end the
“school-to-prison pipeline by opposing discipline policies which
disproportionately affect African Americans and Latinos, Native Americans and
Alaska Natives, students with disabilities, and youth who identify as LGBT.”
Supports the use of restorative
justice practices that “help students and staff resolve conflicts peacefully
and respectfully while helping to improve the teaching and learning
environment.”
Supports improving “school culture”
and combating “bullying of all kinds.”
Supports expanding Title I funding
for schools that serve a large number or high concentration of children in
poverty.
Supports charter schools but opposes
for-profit charter schools.
Supports increasing sexual violence
prevention education programs that “cover issues like consent and bystander
intervention, not only in college, but also in secondary school.”
This huge Education summary can be boiled down to reality!
For such Education Reforms to take place the classic Communist principle
of Wealth
Redistribution will be forced upon American taxpayers. For
Education Reform in this platform Americans capable of paying taxes will be
thrust into poverty. Then OOPS! No more money to steal from taxpayers for the
unsustainable Education Reform. Then what? The only way the Dems could maintain
control of the government is to terminate the Constitution and institute
rule-by-force. Then boom! The Utopian lies turn America into a totalitarian
regime giving more to the government telling people what to support, how to
believe and ultimately terminate Faith (meaning Judeo-Christian Morality)
in favor of a government managed Secular Humanism.

And voters put Obama in Office for 8 YEARS when his agenda
was transparently Marxist! MIND BOGGLING!
Dem Platform Summary Continued:
Faith-Based Organizations
Says: “We believe in lifting up and
valuing the good work of people of faith and religious organizations and
finding ways to support that work where possible.”
Now that is a load of lying donkey dung. It is the Dems and
Dem supporters that condemn traditional (NOT RADICAL) faith based organizations
for standing for traditional
Christian Moral Values derived from the Bible (See Also Manhattan
Declaration). It is the Dems and Dem supporters that fell in
line with Judicial activist Judges who extra-constitutionally changed Constitution
of the First Amendment from Freedom
of Religion to Freedom from Religion in all taxpayer supported venues
(Of interest: The
Establishment Clause, Civil Religion, and the Public Church).
Dem
Party rejection of faith as the backbone of American culture is
evidence of Marx’s Stage
Development Theory dream of marching toward Socialism ending in
Communism.
Dem Platform Summary
Continued:
Human Trafficking
Supports the “full force of the law
against those who engage in modern-day forms of slavery, including the
commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor of men, women, and children.
Supports increasing diplomatic
efforts with foreign governments to “root out complicit public officials who
facilitate or perpetrate this evil.”
Supports increasing the “provision
of services and protections for trafficking survivors.”
If the Dems could ever be trusted in sincerity, this stand
would be awesome.

In this current state of media censorship & defunding, consider
chipping in a few bucks for enjoying (or even despising yet read) this Blog.
I have been banned from the MeWe group for having different opinions.
ReplyDeleteMight I suggest this group...
