Rant #3,970: Got To Be Real

I hate to write a Blog entry that is a downer for the final entry of the week, but I feel that I must, based on recent events.

The political events that happened this week in New York City pretty much forced me to say something, anything, about what is going on in this country.

I put many of these thoughts up on Facebook, but it is worth putting them up again here, because it bears worth repeating--

Over, and over, and over again.

If you are a civilized person, a smart person, a Jew or non-Jew, but somebody with convictions, I have to tell you, I honestly don't know how you can vote for anyone running on the Democratic Party line.

These are not the Democrats of JFK and RFK and even the early Chuck Schumer.

This is a party that has been hijacked by so-called Socialists, who look to upend not only their party, but the country too.

These are evil people, and they are doing their dirty work on the backs of admittedly a very ignorant, and at times, a very stupid, electorate.

Certainly that is the case in New York City, and it will be the case all over the country--from sea to shining sea--if it is not nipped in the bud right now.

I spoke about this years ago, people chastised me for saying what I said, but boy--and this is quite unfortunate--I knew exactly what I was talking about.

How anyone can vote Democrat right now is beyond me, and how any Jew can vote Democrat is even more perplexing.

That is not to say that the Republicans are so wonderful, either, but they appear to base their plank on American values, and that is better than what these so-called Democrats are doing.

So here is what I wrote on Facebook. I firmly believe every word of it.

"About the supposed "Democratic" Party ...

I think if the party would just drop the "Democrat" from their name, and simply rename themselves what they are, the Socialist Party, perhaps more people would see what is going on in this country.

These are Socialists, not Democrats, and the term "Democratic Socialist" means nothing, because they are Socialists.

They are out to destroy this country and our values, and they are, unfortunately, succeeding.

Look at New York City. What a cesspool that has become, but that cesspool started to form more than 50 years ago, when the mere mention of "Socialists" would have sent shivers up anyone's spine.

Now, like the anti-Semitism it helps to spread, it has been normalized, and people vote for these individuals without even thinking twice.

If you vote "Democrat," you are actually voting "Socialist," and you are voting for the party of Mamdani, Sanders, Lander, OSC and everyone that would throw you under the bus in an instant.

You are also voting "Thumb's Up" for anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, and anti-Semitic rhetoric.

And don't tell me the Republicans are no better. They might not be wonderful, but they are way better than this.

Deplorable, to say the least."

So there you have it.

Americans have a right to pick and choose their candidates for elected office, and they can vote for whoever they want.

They can vote Democrat, Republican, Liberal, Conservative or for any candidate on the ballot in whatever party they are running in.

But I firmly believe that if you vote Democrat, you are actually voting Socialist, whether you think you are or not.

And Socialism--and Communism--don't wash in the United States.

These are not the days of Gus Hall, who ran for president as a Communist a number of times in the past, and we all laughed at him.

Times are different today, and these Socialist and Communist and anti-American candidates must be taken seriously.

They are looking to uproot our country in just about every way possible, and because of the stupidity of the electorate, they are succeeding.

We cannot let that happen.

Have a great weekend, and I will speak to you again on Monday.
