Barbarians at the Gate
How they plan to destroy freedom
Candidates from the Democratic Socialists of America have been making successful bids for public office in recent years. Socialists believe they are making extraordinary gains. Several DSA members have won primary elections as Democrats in the last few months. As the general election approaches, a number of national leaders are sounding the alarm.
Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House of Representatives and Louisiana Republican has said:
There’s a small number of times in the history of America where the actual experiment in self-governance was on the ballot. The idea that we would preserve a constitutional republic: One nation under God, a government of, by, and for the people. All that is in question right now…We’re arguing over whether or not freedom is going to survive…This is a real question the American people have to decide in November, in a midterm election for Congress and Senate.
President Trump has discussed the topic in several recent speeches. He has said:
There is now a resurgence of the communist menace in our land, including from newcomers to our country who embrace ideas totally opposed to our way of life and our great success. These are not mere political disagreements like differences over taxes or regulations…They have no respect for law, justice, principle, tradition, or your God-given rights…Communism is the exact opposite of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Socialist platform
A look at the DSA platform shows many areas of concern.1 The DSA policies are as follows:
Cancel the U.S. Constitution and create a new form of government. This involves ending the electoral college, packing the Supreme Court and abolishing the U.S. Senate. In this new form of government, the U.S. House of Representatives will select the U.S. President and U.S. Supreme Court judges.
Withdraw the U.S. Bill of Rights. The DSA’s new form of government will cancel freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly and the right to bear arms.
Expand the U.S. House of Representatives by creating more states out of Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam and other U.S. territories. By the way, these areas just happen to be left-wing.
Open wide the borders and give amnesty to all illegal aliens, including criminals and terrorists. Defund the military.
Give voting rights to all residents regardless of citizenship. Expand mail-in ballots. Expand ranked-choice voting. Cancel measures that curtail election fraud. These changes are made in the name of opposing “voter suppression.”
Close all prisons and defund the police. Stop making arrests for most serious crimes, even for repeat offenders. End police immunity.
Dismantle the nuclear family. Promote sexual promiscuity, pornography and the ideas of queer theory.
Outlaw all religion (except for the cult religion of communism).
Massively expand the size and scope of government. The government will provide subsidized housing and grocery stores. You will receive a basic income and free education, day care and health care from the government. The free stuff and subsidized stuff are all provided in the name of “affordability.”
Abolish private property. You will have nothing and “be happy.”
Have government take over the means of production. No more private business.
End free enterprise (capitalism) and replace it with central government planning.
Note that many of these policies are identical with communist policies.
Standing against tyranny
The Declaration of Independence contains the key principles of the United States of America. These founding principles are what keep you free. Apparently, however, DSA members and their supporters don’t want you to be free. They have vowed to destroy the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and all of our founding principles.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who practices constitutional law, says:
Our rights come from our Creator, God. They do not come from the government. The communists believe the opposite. They believe that the government, the state, is God. The state is the one that gives you all your rights. And you know what? The state can also take those rights away. And that’s exactly what happens. It’s inevitable. Communism and this philosophy has led to the murder of tens of millions of innocent people in the 20th century alone. It is a nightmare. It is a trail to certain death.
All told, communists have killed an estimated 150 million civilians. The body count is still rising. No matter how many times and how many different places Marxist ideology is tried, the results are always the same: Forced labor camps, concentration camps, persecution and genocide. Socialism and communism predictably lead to poverty, repression, violence and poor living conditions.
“I hoped and prayed it would never come to this, but here we are,” Johnson says. The barbarians are not just at the gate. “The barbarians are in the gate,” he says. [Emphasis added.] Make every vote count to oppose the DSA and their Democratic Party supporters.
