DNC Chair Results - First Place: Communist, Second Place: Muslim

The Democrats should have learned by now, you never go full leftist.  Sure, with Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Lyndon B. Johnson, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama they got close.  They went downright stupid, teetering on sending America into a socialist spiral that has destroyed every other country that has tried to chase the utopian dreams of Karl Marx, back then.  But, they never went full leftist.

The lessons of the past seem to have the opposite affect on the Democrats than they should.  They are doubling down on what defeated them when Donald J. Trump won the 2016 Presidential Election.  The Democrat Party supporting millennials have no idea what socialism truly is, but most Americans know it's a bad road.  The millennials, in fact, overwhelmingly support the concept of communism.  We were raised in liberty, and for many Americans, anything else throws up red flags in our brains.  The younger generation, however, has fallen for the propaganda, and now stand in the new camp.

They stand in the new camp with the hard left socialist commie Democrats who, according to the film Enemies Within, are bursting at the seams with members who are also associated with the Democratic Socialists of America, Communist Party USA, and the Muslim Brotherhood (and in many cases, all three).

Has the failings of the Soviet Union, North Korea, and California not taught them anything?  Has Detroit been nothing more than a blind escapade?  Can they not connect the brute force of government control in China, or the misery in Venezuela and Greece to their liberal left policies, and realize that chasing big government socialism is a massive appointment with catastrophe, and historically the death of millions?

After the 2016 Presidential Election, I wrote that Hillary Clinton will be the last white Democrat Party candidate for President in history.  The Democrats will never nominate a white person again.  They don't understand why they lost against Trump, or the mid-terms that brought about the Tea Party revolution in Congress in 2010 and 2014.  The Democrats are unable to see any errors in their religion of secular socialism, so they have pointed their fingers in other directions.

Van Jones calls what happened a "white-lash against a changing country."  The black vote and Hispanic vote (to the surprise of the Democrat Party) abandoned Hillary in this election.  The Democrats are not convinced that Trump's message had anything to do with that.  As Van Jones pointed out, they think it was racially driven.  Therefore, as the minority population increases, the Democrats will not reconsider their message of liberalism, but instead they will chase the black and Hispanic vote by always nominating minorities as their nominees.  While accusing Republicans of being racist, it turns out (to no surprise here) that it is actually the Democrats who are the racists, for everything they do is based on race, and separating people into racial segments in society.  Julian Castro, Michelle Obama or Kamala Harris will likely be the candidate in 2020.

So, convinced the whiteness of their candidates and leaders are the problem, the Democrats began to search for their next Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair, and yesterday elected Tom Perez, who was previously Obama's secretary of labor.  The second-place finisher, Muslim Brotherhood extremist Keith Ellison, was then quickly named by Perez to be his as vice chair.

I really don't care if the Democrats, or the Republicans, or any other political organization is headed up by Hispanics, Blacks, or whomever.  That's their business.  This article is not about the color of their skin, or the reality that Americans of all races, colors and ethnicities have opportunities to become whoever they wish.  Bravo.  Good for them.  The problem I have with Tom Perez and Keith Ellison has nothing to do with the fact that they are Hispanic and black, respectively, and everything to do with the way they believe politically.  I am bothered by their rise to the top of the Democrat Party because in both cases their political alliances are with ideologies that support the overthrow of the American System, and the destruction of our constitutional republic as designed by the Founding Fathers over two hundred years ago.

The two men are collectivists.  They reject the concept of individualism.  Therefore, they do not accept liberty, nor the dynamism of our free market economy and system of limited government.

Perez’s communist views can be summarized when he tweeted a few years ago to college students to stop being individuals and join the collective:

And, like Muslim Keith Ellison, his new right-hand man at the DNC, Tom Perez rejects the idea that we all have Natural God-given Rights, or should enjoy the freedom the standards of liberty in America provides.  He supports Islamic Sharia Law in America which is antithetical to, and incompatible with, the U.S. Constitution.  In other words, they believe Sharia should be the law of the land, and that Muslim Law supersedes the U.S. Constitution.  They believe in the overthrow of the American System.  In a word, they support treason.

Perez, in order to perform political favors for our enemies, and engage in sedition against the United States, did what Hillary Clinton did when it came to having his own private email account to do government business while at the Department of Labor. Perez “likely violated both the spirit and letter of the Federal Records Act” by using his private email to hide what he was doing from federal officials, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The new leaders of the Democrat Party are communist radicals who supports amnesty for all illegal aliens and they are both against securing the border.  “Bringing 11 million undocumented workers out of the shadows and on a path to citizenship will give them access to higher wages and greater economic opportunity,” he said on October 29, 2013, disregarding the high number of Americans who are out of work and seeking higher wages and greater economic opportunity for themselves.

Perez is a racist who has been working to expand hate crime laws, which he characterizes as a predominantly white-on-black phenomenon. He believes that if minorities commit more crimes, it is only because they are discriminated against. He calls it “disparate impact.“

Before he was labor secretary, Tom Perez was a part of the Obama Justice Department.  In 2012, while working under Eric Holder, Perez sued Jacksonville, Florida, because black firefighter applicants got lower test scores on exams than white applicants. Perez believes that written tests for firefighters and police officers is somehow discriminatory, and therefore it is the fault of the white people in Florida who were involved with designing the tests that caused the black applicants to have lower scores.

Perez believes that applicants to certain professions should be given preference based on skin colors other than white, thus skewing the playing field.

Perez is a big proponent of foreigners in America illegally receiving in-state tuition discounts.

He is a lifelong member of what I call the "Administrative Branch of Government." Longtime bureaucrat Tom Perez also had a nice, tidy relationship with the Clintons.  He was deputy assistant attorney general for civil rights under President Bill Clinton, which means he worked under hard-left socialist bully (and Waco mass-murderer) Janet Reno.

The communist affiliations of Tom Perez are nothing new, either.  He was previously president of Casa de Maryland, a communist front group and a notorious advocacy group for illegal aliens funded by George Soros and the now deceased socialist Venezuela dictator Hugo Chavez.

Perez is a proponent of “Critical Legal Studies,” which is a legal theory derived from anti-American Marxism.

The Democrats are denying Perez's communist connections and belief system, calling him a “moderate” in the race to become the head of the DNC.  Perhaps, since the Democrat Party has swung so far to the left, he seems moderate to the hardcore communists who now populate the party.  Perhaps a “mainstream Democrat” has ceased to be what it was, and is now a card-carrying communist hell-bent on the fundamental transformation of America into a communist country.  In fact, Keith Ellison, the second place finisher, is so radical, it actually did make communist Tom Perez look a little less radical.

Hell, even Josef Stalin seems a little less evil when placed next to Satan, himself.

But, not by much.
