The Oxymoronic Left…Emphasis on Moron

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

This past week we had more evidence of the delusion of the progressive socialist left with their counter-protest in Boston and the anti-hate rally in Dallas. I have often wondered, and decided to write about it here, is anyone truly aware how abjectly oxymoronic the position of the liberal progressive left is at this time. And how utterly unhinged members of the Democratic Party and their acolytes in the leftist media have become.

First of all, consider this group called Antifa, or "the resistance", whatever they are, these stuck on stupid kids running around with hoods and masks. Now, Antifa claims that they are against fascism and fascists; yet, they are the same confused individuals who took to violence at the University of California, Berkeley, to keep a conservative from speaking. So, let me get this right: this group claims to be against violence, but commits violence and destruction of property. They claim to be against fascists, but they seek to repress any opposing voice a platform to speak?

Ask yourselves, and this is something for which I have experience, when was the last time a constitutional conservative speaker gave a commencement address at a major American college or university? Liberty University, the world’s largest Christian university, allowed avowed socialist Bernie Sanders to speak there. And we all know, at least those of us who study history and read, that a tenet of socialist ideological thought is secular humanism. And why would any administration allow a civilizational jihadist, such as Linda Sarsour, the opportunity to speak at an American college? Well, they did, and she did.

This whole Antifa movement, embraced as the resistance by many Democratic elected officials and former Obama administration officials, is our first piece of evidence of the oxymoronic left.

Our second piece of evidence comes from our friends over at black lives matter, who seem to be confused about what a white supremacist really is. I have yet to see or hear of anyone in that organization speaking out about one of the biggest white supremacists, and Ku Klux Klan supporters, Margaret Sanger. Ms. Sanger is the founder of Planned Parenthood. You know, that venerable organization that the Democratic Party believes should be entitled to U.S. taxpayer dollars. A simple peer reviewed-study of Ms. Sanger and all that she stood for should be enough for the black lives matter folks to condemn her and her legacy. Nope, with emphasis on moron, these individuals are just ignorant pawns in the game used by the left for a politicized purpose in order to stir up rage in the black community. The real rage by black lives matter should be the number of Planned Parenthood “clinics” that are located in the black community doing exactly what Ms. Sanger advocated, elimination of undesirables. Matter of fact, her vision, her organization, since Roe v. Wade, has been party to the genocide of over 10 million black babies who have been aborted. But, here you have black lives matter completely dismissing this abhorrent fact, all for their pursuit of a political ideological agenda that does not serve the black community…but rather their white liberal progressive masters. I suppose the Democrats, the original party of slavery, secession, segregation, and socialism – all of which have been horrific for the black community – continues to buy off another generation of useful idiots to promulgate their destructive message.

BLM, Angela Rye of CNN, and Al Sharpton are the folks who remind me of a wise quote from the Father of Black Conservatism, Booker T. Washington. Mr. Washington stated, “There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

Morons.

My final piece of evidence to introduce is really the most perplexing of all and the easiest to understand. The progressive socialist left rants about hating neo-Nazis, and I am with them on that. I deplore any form of supremacist viewpoint, but I wonder why the left will not condemn Islamic supremacists, i.e. Islamic jihadists? But that is not the crux of this final piece of evidence confirming the oxymoronic nature of the left. What has me scratching my head is that that biggest financier of leftist groups in America, including BLM, is one billionaire named George Soros. I know ol’ Uncle George very well since he invested some $5M dollars into my congressional reelection defeat in 2012.

But, it is George Soros, a Hungarian Jew, who did indeed work with the REAL Nazis during World War II as a collaborator against his own people. So how can it be that the progressive socialist left can look at themselves in the mirror and talk about condemning neo-Nazis, when their biggest funder was a freaking Nazi?

In the vernacular of Ricky Ricardo, “splain it to me Lucy”.

What amazes me more than anything else is why have we not heard any of this from Republicans? I mean Mitt Romney, Senators Corker Scott are too busy condemning President Trump instead of bringing out the hypocrisy of the left. Can they also be so hateful of people that they would allow these moronic groups to subvert the very history of our Constitutional Republic and its values?

In closing, I understand why the progressive socialist left wants to erase any and all history relating to the Civil War and the Confederacy. They truly do not want America to know that it was the Democratic Party that stood against the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments. They do not want generations to know that Jim Crow, lynchings, literacy tests, and poll taxes did not come from Republicans. There is a reason why the bust of Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president, was torched…he was a champion of liberty who sought to end slavery.

And the morons of the oxymoronic left, who want economic enslavement today, do not want us to know their history of physical enslavement.
