Several disputed quotes have been attributed to Nikita
Khrushchev, the former authoritarian leader of the U.S.S.R. Perhaps the most
famous is, “We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to
invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within.” As with all historical
quotes, the veracity of Khrushchev’s should be taken with a grain of salt.
Still, the sentiment is undeniably accurate. And now it seems that the Left is
determined to see it through to fruition.
Domestic terrorism, by definition, are acts, dangerous to
human life, in violation of State or Federal law, intended to intimidate or
coerce a civilian population, to influence the policy of a government, by
intimidation or coercion. And this occurs on a near daily basis in this country
in the name of Democrat Progressivism.
On Saturday, the notoriously violent, extreme leftist,
organization known as Antifa, viciously attacked journalist Andy Ngo, in broad daylight on the streets of Portland. This is but
one of many in the long list of such attacks
by the, supposed, anti-fascist group, all to further their left-wing
political agenda.
This past Tuesday, Eric Trump, son of President Trump, was
verbally harassed before being spit on by an unhinged Chicago waitress in the
Windy City. In February, Zachary Greenberg, a left-wing militant was caught on
video assaulting Hayden Williams, a conservative activist, for doing nothing
more than handing out flyers on a college campus in Berkeley. In fact, ever
since Donald Trump’s announced his run for president and his subsequent
election, countless acts of violence and intimidation have been thrust upon
Americans for daring to support their conservative political beliefs.
Trump supporters have been violently attacked, his rallies
plagued with coordinated violent attacks by leftist thugs, and innocent
Americans publicly assaulted
for attending such events. College campuses, once supposed havens for the open
exchange of ideas, have seen riot after riot nearly every single time a
conservative, such as Ben Shapiro or Ann Coulter, is invited to speak. Rather
than attempt to debate or persuade, the new Progressive Left has resorted to
nothing short of Nazi Brown Shirt tactics to stifle any and all opinions they
disagree with. At Middlebury College in Vermont, a liberal professor was viciously assaulted
for merely escorting a conservative commentator on campus.
These leftists cannot debate, so they attack to further
their political agenda. There exists no room for debate. These are acts of
domestic terrorism, by definition.
Unfortunately, these criminal acts are not shouted down by
the leaders of the Left. They are rarely, if ever, even condemned. Rather, they
are proudly and loudly encouraged. It’s hard to forget Democratic Congresswoman
Maxine Water’s unhinged rant
in support of these acts. She is one of the many Democratic members of Congress
that openly blamed President Trump for the attack on Jussie Smollett, an attack
that was clearly a hoax from its very announcement.
When Republican Trump won the election in 2016 there were
nationwide riots carried out by leftists. Where were the conservative riots in
2012 and 2008 when Barack Obama won? When George W. Bush won in 2000 and 2004
there were nationwide leftist riots. Where were the conservative riots in 1992
and 1996 when Democrat Bill Clinton won?
These are not acts of civil discourse. They are blatant
attempts to destroy America from within. These are acts of domestic terrorism,
by definition.
The recent round of Democratic debates showed candidates
each vying to be the most antithetical to American idealism and freedoms. It
was a parade of candidates denouncing our Second Amendment rights, decrying our
national sovereignty through open borders, threatening our national security by
longing for appeasement of terrorist nations, and most of all, advocating for
taxation at a rate several thousand times greater than the English taxation
that helped lead us to a war for our independence.
The past 50 years the Democrats-Progressive-Leftists,
whatever they choose to be known as, had a rise in their hysteria and violence
to the point of it being considered domestic terrorism. And such has placed us
on a path of national instability. And it must stop.
The French historian and political philosopher Alexis de
Tocqueville once said, “The greatness of America lies not in being more
enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her
faults.”
If the Left continues on its current trajectory of violent
political domestic terrorism, we will lose the greatness de Tocqueville foresaw
in us, and instead destroy ourselves from within, as Khrushchev allegedly
predicted.
