Proposal by Democrat promotes, codifies hate

It’s hard to imagine a more vindictive, more immoral, more hate-driven group than Marxists with power, but here they are, the ruling class in Washington, D.C.

California Democrat Congresswoman Linda Sanchez has introduced a bill to deprive President Trump of the typical honors of every former president. Her bill, HR 484, called the “No Glory for Hate Act,” seeks to deprive the former president from being buried in Arlington National Cemetery or to have any kind of memorials erected in his honor. Like most bills promoted by leftists, the titles they assign are the exact opposite of what they say. “No Glory for Hate” exemplifies, codifies and memorializes their hate.

Democrats think that, if they can just erase enough of Donald Trump in the future, they can wipe away his past. Sound familiar? It should. Once again, George Orwell gave us a window on tactics the left uses to consolidate and cement power in their hands only: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”

Evidence and truth are irrelevant. They are replaceable. Commentator Tammy Bruce notes, “The people controlling the narrative at this point are determined to cast everything in America’s history, much of which has been difficult, as bad.” The “Marxist dynamic,” she said, is not to have a conversation that includes the greater American community, but is about “erasing our past in its entirety.” Bruce said the push to remove statues is about “condemning” the United States with “no room for forgiveness.”

Lavrentiy Beria, head of Joseph Stalin’s secret police in the Soviet Union, once said, “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.” Create a dossier or an impeachable phone-call. Whatever works. Evidence is irrelevant.

These are perilous times for truth. In Biden’s America, everyone is entitled to “their truth,” whatever the hell that means. Free speech is now hate speech. Ignorance is strength. Freedom is slavery. Just ask a Democrat.
