    The Democrats are right—Trump is indeed a threat to ‘our democracy’

    Wordsmithing is a powerful tool of the left.  It is applied not only to matters of gender, race, and class, but to the nature of government itself.  The left’s concept of “democracy” bears no relationship to that envisione...

    The left's 'one tent' party is springing leaks

    The Democrat party has traditionally considered itself to be the “one tent party,” an inclusive coalition of middle-class workers, unions, the marginalized, minorities, the disenfranchised, liberals, unified in its solidarity of purpose a...

    Issues don’t matter — to Democrats

    Democrats, exemplified by our current party incumbents and candidates, take great measure in avoiding serious discussion of real socio-economic issues that are eroding the national fabric.  That is because their policies are largely responsible ...

    ’Idiocracy’ is upon us

    For decades America functioned as a meritocracy, the land of opportunity with freedom of speech and limited government.  With the recent ascent of the radical left as a political force, these values have undergone erosion by DEI, identity politi...

    ’Diversity is our strength!’

    We are told we must sustain a program of diversity, equity, and inclusion to achieve a stronger, and more equal and moral society.  “Diversity is our strength!” proclaim Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Kamala Harris.  Is it?  ...

    Recent debacles show a concerted war on Western Civilization

    Recent events, such as the pro-Hamas, anti-Israel, anti-America protests here and in France, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, as well as the “Last Supper” Olympic debacle, make it increasingly obvious that the radical l...

    ' ... and the meek shall inherit the earth,' but not if leftists get their way

    The left openly promotes stacking of the Supreme Court with liberal justices, granting statehood to Puerto Rico and D.C., and eliminating the Electoral College.  It has foisted upon us open immigration, DIE policies, ballot harvesting, and la...

    Democracy, Democrat style

    Democrats love to incite fear in voters that a Trump/MAGA/Republican takeover of government imposes an existential “threat to democracy!”  They base their fear campaign primarily on the report of the House Select Committee to Investi...

    The Jewish problem

    The insurgent left’s bid to gain autocratic political control is based in its disingenuous social structural fabrication which defines society as being composed of oppressed and oppressor factions.  The oppressed — subjugated, margin...

    The Herd is out to trample you

    How has the federal government evolved into an increasingly leftist bureaucracy, and Congress into a Uniparty?  Part of it lies in the universal bipartisan lure of crony capitalism, or in “going with the cultural flow” for opportunis...

    Revolt of the finger-pointers

    Our nation is being torn apart not by economic collapse, genocide, or brutal dictatorship, but by a cadre of fragile dissidents with unresolved emotional conflicts. In any social environment individuals encounter affronts, offenses, verbal or even...

    The State of the Union

    Regardless of what POTUS says, it’s what he’s doing that counts. Trump followers want to make America great again. No one seems to know what the Republican Party wants. But the goals of the Democratic Party are clear. The defining posi...

    Social justice warriors: from oppressed to oppressors

    Leftist activism has come full circle.  In just a few decades, the political left has evolved from “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” to debasing America as an unexceptional, colonialist,...

    February 1, 2024

    ‘The sky is falling!’

    Fear is a great motivator.  The behavior of leftists indicates that, to a great extent, they’re motivated by personal threat to their well-being.  They visualize a social construct of threateners (the oppressors), and threatened (the ...

    ‘To make a snowflake’

    A snowflake forms when cold water droplets freeze onto a nidus of dust or pollen in the atmosphere, creating an ice crystal.  Additional droplets are added in an infinitely variable pattern, forming a unique structure.  The produc...

    Please, O woke masters, help us!

    Our ideological civil war

    Michael Moore, the multimillionaire, anti-capitalist, liberal activist, claims to love his country.  Since there is no evidence that Michael Moore is demented or psychotic, we must take him at his word.  How can he love America and hate cap...

    The left’s quest for social justice is a façade

    The U.N. defines social justice as the view that everyone deserves equal economic, political, and social rights and opportunities.  Few would find fault with that definition.  Problems arise, however, when elements in a given soci...

    The ten commandments of liberalism

    Liberalism has been likened to a religious movement- a secular quest for heaven on earth. Like legitimate religions, it has its own tenets. Thou shalt seek social justice. We’re all in this together.  There is no reason we cannot l...

    Wokeness is all about revenge

    The left has morphed "woke" from a quest for heightened awareness of racial inequities to a political tool for wreaking vengeance on the "system". Woke, an adjective derived from Afro-American vernacular English, was an initiat...

    The leftist insurgency is based in lunacy

    Even a casual browsing of AT articles, blog posts, and comments makes it clear that there is a great deal of uncertainty as to how to best describe or categorize the burgeoning leftist movement in America.  It is variably, but not satisfact...

    The tyranny of morality?

    Activists on the left — liberals, leftists, progressives, woke — generically feel victimized or oppressed in some context.  They have been left out or marginalized by the system.  They are unhappy, disapproving, dissid...

    Does anyone else have a problem fathoming woke clichés and edicts?

    A space alien checks out America

    What leftist insurrection? Nothing to see here!

    Those on the left like to smirk and with a knowing smile accuse those of us on the right of delusional paranoia when we voice concerns of a leftist coup of government.  Who leads it?  Obama?  Soros?  Hardly lik...

    Left-wing activism, too, obeys the laws of supply and demand
