Freedoms Democrats Take Away Are Not Coming Back

January 16, 2013 by Bob Prokop 10 Comments


UPDATE September 27, 2023:

Being enslaved to genocidal Democrats is not freedom.

Joe Biden’s racism reveals itself at the most inopportune moments. Calling LL Cool J a “boy” during recent remarks to the Congressional Black Caucus415 is just another example from a politician whose 1977 “racial jungle” school integration comment epitomizes an ambivalent history with Black Americans.

That history includes the 2020 campaign remark that if you vote for Trump, “then you ain’t black.” The racist attacks by Democrats against conservative Black politicians and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who CBC member Benny Thompson (D-MS) called an “Uncle Tom,”416 hammer their message home: the political left owns Black America.

The Democrat Party asserted its ownership interest long ago. If the resulting decimation of the Black community was at the hands of Republicans, the left would be screaming about genocide.

Instead, Democrats indulge their false, activist narrative about systemic racism while they appeal to a nonexistent fundamental freedom to promote killing future Black generations while members of the current generation unlucky enough to be trapped in depressed blue city neighborhoods are denied their basic right to life by out of control violent crime.

It’s telling that CBC members applauded Biden’s “boy” remark. This would have been greeted with months and months of sanctimonious fury had it come from a Republican instead of their white, progressive president. In truth, we have no reason not to believe that “boy” characterizes the vision of Biden, Harris, congressional Democrats, and leftist officials who believe that Black Americans exist to live their lives enslaved to Democrat Party policies.

Does keeping the Black population down make that task easier?

Democrats decimate Black communities with policies that kill

For thirty years, elective abortions for Black women have surged four times higher than for white women.417 Democrats who preach America’s history of racism alongside their demands for unrestricted abortion at will should explain to the nation why they support this:

White women had the lowest abortion rate (6.2 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years) and ratio (118 abortions per 1,000 live births), and Black women had the highest abortion rate (24.4 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years) and ratio (426 abortions per 1,000 live births).418

It’s more expedient to ignore the truth and accuse their opposition of hate:

Folks, in 2020, hate was still on the march in America, and the sitting president was breathing oxygen into that hate.

Everything we stood for, everything we believe in, everything that made America “America,” even our very democracy was at risk.419

The freedom to kill Black babies at four times the rate of white babies is at risk thanks to the much-reviled Dobbs decision. Like the deceptive moniker “gender-affirming care” to sanitize the genital mutilation of children, Harris calls the wonton killing of the next generation “reproductive freedom:”

Together, the CBC is helping to lead the fight for reproductive freedom, just as you continue to lead the fight for civil rights.420

That fight for civil rights is now just another genocidal Democrat Party deception spread by this pandering fraud of a vice president who doesn’t say when we earn the civil right to be safe from abortion:

And I do believe the right to be safe is also a civil right.

Today, however, gun violence is the number-one cause of death for children in America. But instead of protecting our children, extremists obstruct.421

The freedom to be shot dead is not a civil right

Republicans are not the ones who pushed race-based calls to defund the police or passed pro-criminal legislation like Illinois’ Safe-T Act and it’s historic, first in the nation no cash bail provisions. Governor JB Pritzker, a white progressive Democrat, championed his signature on the bill. He will not be impacted by street violence in Chicago any more than the president or Harris, who was tapped to oversee the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention after doing absolutely nothing to deal with the border catastrophe she is also in charge of.

Like the freedom to kill Black babies, the freedom for Black Americans to be killed by gun violence at a higher rate than other groups is an ugly party secret Democrats divert to talk of racist policing, white supremacy, and hate. Our new Gun Violence Prevention Czar expects us to buy into the liberal myth that background checks will stop criminals from acquiring guns and killing people:

Demanding, as we all do: red-flag laws, universal background checks, and a renewal of the Assault Weapons Ban. (Applause.)422

Meanwhile, Democrats oversee a liberal justice system that ABC 7 Chicago reports released an out of state gun dealer on $30,000 bail after he was arrested for smuggling AR-15s – the left’s “weapons of war” – into Chicago.423

Dead Black Americans are no joke, so why are Biden and Harris laughing?

If a picture speaks 1,000 words, this White House photo of a laughing Harris and smirking Biden during the announcement of their Gun Violence initiative tells us all we need to know about how serious they are:

Biden and Harris at rollout of Office of Gun Violence Prevention
Dead Black Americans are a joke?

So do two promises from Harris:

They know when Congress passes a bill to put back in place the protections of Roe v. Wade that our President, Joe Biden, will sign it. (Applause.)425

When Congress renews the Assault Weapons Ban, President Joe Biden will sign it. (Applause.)426

We can’t believe much of what she says, but we can trust both of these statements. Restricting the future of Black America with genocidal policies is just good progressive politics and so far, encouraging abortions with vacuous talking points about freedom and turning a blind eye to the reality of the gun violence problem are helping to get the job done.

    People do not understand how the Democrats and the Obama administration are slowly strangling the very freedoms that the Revolution was fought for. The facts are clear when you see the Constitution being trampled on by Obama, and then realize that he could not pass a gun owner background check, which is why he has sealed “ALL” of his records.
    If congress were to pass any new legislation on background checking it must include the requirement that “ALL” politicians running for public office must “PASS” those requirements or be disqualified.
    As it stands right now, Obama could not ” PASS” a standard FBI check from the details that were written in his book, which is why his certification was challenged. The judges that had cases before them refused to hear the arguments and thusly dismissed those cases. What gutless wonders we have in the justice system including the Supreme Court.

    Obama is tearing our nation apart. and he is banking on the ignorant that don’t pay attention. obama has a shady past and i am not convinced that he is a true citizen of the united states. If you vote democrat you are voting to end america as a freedom country. Obama is taking it all away and people are not paying attention. when it’s gone and you are under the control of a dictator you will wish you had paid attention. but this country has been under attack before obama but now it’s speeded up so much it will be a miracle if we can keep it

      We’ll find out next week how well people are paying attention, won’t we, Sandy? I agree, it’s pretty amazing that no matter how bad things are or how misguided the actions of public officials, they still manage to convince people to support what they do. Watch what happens in the Illinois governor’s race next week. If Pat Quinn wins, it’s a pretty good sign that we are truly lost.

    freedom from harm is not a reasonable freedom. Freedom from unjust aggression is reasonable, and the primary reason for government.

      Thanks for your remarks, Ed. Interesting how some of what’s happening now at the hands of government could be considered unjust aggression, like the searches they conducted in Rhode Island looking for New Yorkers. It’s difficult to know where to draw the line between government overreach and the public interest, but that was quite a line to cross.

        I don’t know if the intention was to turn lies into the sole means of communicating with the people to the complete exclusion of the truth, but it has certainly paid off for Democrats and the White House.
