The Job Ahead of Us is to Educate the Unenlightened

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

I do not believe that many “normal” Democrats are “evil.”  There are three classes of Democrats.  Many Democrats are not evil, they are just, um, unenlightened (I hate to use the word “stupid,” which does fit people like Joe Biden, but it sounds so mean).  My sister is a case in point.  She is a lovely lady who will do almost anything for anybody.  She isn’t “evil” in the conventional sense.  She votes Democrat because she doesn’t know any better and doesn’t really care a whole lot, think much about it, or understand why she pays $2 for a candy bar and can’t afford Biden-rent.  There are a lot of Democrats like that.  These aren’t “bad” people, which describes many voters voting for Democrats.  Unenlightened.  You choose your own words.

A second class of Democrats is not unenlightened; they are pure, Satanic evil.  This is Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and probably every Democrat in Congress.  They know precisely what they are doing; they are doing it deliberately, and it is sheer, unadulterated evil.  They do not believe in virtue, righteousness, hard work, honesty, purity, men, women, children, family, or anything decent.  They believe in one thing—power, their own, and they will do anything—anything!—to get it.  They haven’t yet been able to do what Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, and other Leftist murderers did to obtain and hold power (i.e., kill, torture, or imprison hundreds of millions of innocent people who opposed them), but that is Leftist ideology and Americans—especially unenlightened Democrats—need to be warned about it.  Unfortunately, the unenlightened probably wouldn’t, or won’t, believe it until it is too late.  But that’s our job right now:  education.

There are, of course, Democrats who are both unenlightened and evil, but I’m more concerned with the first two groups—the unenlightened and the evil—in this column. 

Friends, it is essential, if we are going to save the country, to enlighten the unenlightened, to help them understand the truth about Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Leftism, and the Democratic Party.  The “evil” elitists in Leftism are beyond help; they know what they are doing and are doing it intentionally because they ARE evil.  But there may still be hope for those Democrats who just don’t know or understand what their party is truly all about.  Again, we face an education issue, and it is an urgent one.

What “normal,” “unenlightened” Democrats cannot see is that their party’s leadership is indeed only interested in power and really cares nothing about the welfare of the people, except in any way such could be used to obtain, keep, and enhance that power.  Here are a few examples to illustrate.

Climate change.  “Man-made climate change” is a bald-faced lie that has no scientific proof to support it, and Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and Joe Biden (if he knows anything) know it.  It is a mantra of Leftism for one reason—to tell the American people and the world exactly how they can and must live, i.e., give the government more money and power, and we (government elitists) will change the climate and save the planet.  This is hubris to the nth degree.  It is a lie.  Obama knows it is a lie, but Leftists can, have, and will do anything for power.  Climate change is nothing but a methodical policy to gain more power for government Leftist elites.

The illegal alien issue.  Democrats have opened America’s border to millions of primitives, not for humanitarian reasons, but with the intent of eventually giving all these people amnesty and American citizenship.  This (Democrats hope, and probably correctly) will create millions of new Democratic Party voters.  They have sent countless thousands to red states, intending to turn those states blue.  It is a cynical ploy for power that shows no concern whatsoever for current American citizens, who are footing the bill with their tax dollars for this law-breaking scheme.

Many other illustrations of cynical Democratic Party grabs for power could be brought forth. Still, I want to briefly illustrate the total lack of concern and interest Democrats have for the well-being of the ordinary American citizen.  Crime in big cities is a perfect example.  These cities are almost 100% run by Democrats, have horrible crime and murder rates, and the Democrats do nothing but shout “gun control” and intend to take guns away from honest, law-abiding Americans.  The mountains of dead bodies mean nothing to Democrats.

The drugs brought in by the illegals are also of no importance to Democrats.  The figure of 100,000 dead Americans due to drug abuse every year may be understated, but regardless, one is too many, and Democrats are doing nothing to staunch the flow coming across the southern border.  Indeed, their policy only encourages more drugs.  Power, not love for people, is the Democrats’ game.

The economy.  The lie of man-made climate change is an excuse to attack fossil fuels (and farmers?), thus being one reason for the cause of Biden-inflation.  People will be FORCED to drive electric vehicles (no freedom there), and fourteen states are already talking about trying to ban meat and dairy products by 2030.  And they are serious.  These Democrats are entirely out of their minds.  Well, they are evil.  That’s the point.  They are trying to drive Americans into poverty and thereby control as much of their life as possible.  An ideology (Leftism) that murdered hundreds of millions of people in the last century and mutilates children for a lie and sexually perverted reasons is nothing but evil and cares absolutely nothing about the welfare of mankind.  They only care about themselves.  They sure aren’t going to eat bugs or fly commercially.

So, we have a job to do:  to educate that “unenlightened” Democrat as to what his/her party is.  And we’d better hurry because time is running out.
