Unfortunately, Fake
News is alive and all too well.
This was witnessed in
spades this past week as the Fake News media lied through its fangs about the
president on immigration.
The Fake Newsies, at
least 90% of whom are Democratic Party operatives, waxed hysteria over the
separation of Hispanic children from their immigrant parents, i.e.
those who entered America illegally through the southern border.
Of course, the blame
for all of this was laid at the feet of the president, who was excoriated by
his political enemies in Washington D.C. and their apologists and fellow
partisans in the Fake News industry for his “zero tolerance” policy.
By now, any remotely
honest observer of the political scene should know that the truth is profoundly
otherwise than what fake journalists and commentators would have us think.
First, the “separation
of families” for which Trump is being blamed is a feature of a policy that was
passed by a Democrat-controlled Congress and signed into law back in 2008 by
George W. Bush. This policy was continued throughout Barack Obama’s two
terms.
In fact, many of the
emotionally-charged photos of detention facilities circulated by the Fake News
media that were designed to convict Trump of heartlessness were taken while
Obama was president.
This is one crucial
respect in which coverage of this issue reveals itself for the Fake News that
it is. Yet it is certainly not the only respect.
Second, that for a
decade—the decade that their fellow partisans held control of the levers of
power in D.C.—fake journalists didn’t utter a peep about this policy for which
they are now blasting Trump proves that they are cooking a controversy for
partisan political purposes.
This isn’t journalism.
It is advocacy. It is political.
It is fake.
Third, the vast
majority of those crying over the “separation of families” have spent decades
undermining the sanctity of the family at every conceivable turn. The
idea of “traditional family values” is one upon which this crew has set its
sights with a vengeance. They have not only mocked and ridiculed all
things religious (and, particularly, Christian), they have aggressively sought
to fundamentally transform the entire cultural and legal landscape.
Those who have just now
discovered the sanctity of the family—and make no mistakes, when they shed
their tears (however fake, like their news, these tears undoubtedly are), they
imply their recognition of this spiritual and moral reality—have campaigned
inexhaustibly for such family-crippling things as: no-fault divorce;
de-stigmatizing both co-habitation outside of marriage and illegitimacy; sexual
promiscuity; free contraceptives; the empowerment of the State (Child
Protective Services) to remove children from their parents, i.e. to “separate
families”; the empowerment of children to divorce their parents; the elevation
of homosexuality as something to be celebrated as a viable alternative to
heterosexuality; and so-called “same-sex marriage.”
Most importantly, these
same people who are now crying over children being separated from
their parents have been championing the “right” of mothers to
kill the children in their wombs, children who, at that stage in
their development, literally have no one to sustain them but their
mothers.
Fourth, as President
Trump said three years ago when he announced his bid for the presidency, some of
those crossing our southern border are bad people. Border agents, among
the bravest and most patriotic of Americans (and many of whom happen to be
Hispanic), have readily attested to the truth of Trump’s statement.
People who resolve to
undermine a nation’s sovereignty by breaking its most fundamental of laws are
willing to do virtually anything else to fulfill their desires. It is
understandable that they should want to leave their home countries and come to
America so as to provide a better life for themselves and their families. But
unless it is morally permissible for one’s personal happiness to be purchased
at any and all costs—unless the ends always justify the means—this doesn’t
change the fact that such people disrespect America and her citizens when they
invade our country.
The point, here, is
that these people have also sent their children—some as young as four
years-old—across multiple countries, in some cases, and extremely dangerous
terrain just so that they can eventually get here. Parents have
given their young daughters contraceptives in the expectation that these girls
would be raped by human predators.
American-born children
can and have been separated from their American-born parents for offenses that
pale in comparison to such egregious abuses.
And it isn’t just
parents who have weaponized children in this way. Many of the “parents”
and other adult “relatives” aren’t related to these kids at all. The US
government is trying to protect these children by making sure that they
aren’t released into the custody of negligent, abusive, criminal adults.
Finally, during a
conversation with Democrats and some Republicans over immigration policy some
time ago, Trump was said to have referred to some Third World countries from
which his opponents wanted to encourage more immigration from as “shitholes.”
For this, the Fake Newsies (but few others) took him to task.
At the same time, most
of these left-wing Democrats in the Fake News media and elsewhere are
tirelessly complaining about the “white privilege,” “institutional racism,” and
“white supremacy” of America, or, as those on the left have not so
affectionately referred to it, “AmeriKKKa.”
This latest episode in
the Fake News media’s efforts to destroy Trump would have caused more
thoughtful, or more honest, people to suffer a massive dose of cognitive
dissonance: On the one hand, there has been occurring for many years a mass
exodus of millions of non-white people from their home countries from all over
the world. On the other hand, these same people are risking their own
lives, yes, but the lives of their children to flee to…a “white supremacist”
country.
The “fascists” of
AmeriKKKa are intent upon building a wall, true, but to prevent people from,
not leaving, but entering, specifically, entering illegally.
A historically white
country which remains majority-white and which the American-born left
continually derides as “racist” is, in reality, the salvation of the world’s
non-white peoples. This, at any rate, can only be the view held by those who
are willing to do anything and everything to get to America.
But don’t expect for
the Fake News media to say so.
