What is it about the left that makes leftists so hard-hearted?  So cold?

They present themselves as the compassionate ones, the people who care.  But whom do they care about?  Certainly not the innocent American citizens being murdered, almost on a daily basis, by criminal illegal aliens.

We all know about the lovely Mollie Tibbetts, the 20-year-old Iowa girl who was murdered while jogging.  She was missing for a month before her body was found, while her family held out hope for her safe return.

We do not hear, on a national level, about the people killed every day by illegal aliens.  Americans are dead at the hands of illegal aliens too, too often.  MS-13 hacks up its victims, often young people.  Others die because these people drive drunk.  They may survive while the people they crash into do not.

And then there are the cold-blooded murderers like the one who took Mollie Tibbetts's life, Cristhian Rivera.  Rivera is twenty-four and has been living in the U.S. for four to seven years under a stolen name.  He was tracked down thanks to some surveillance cameras.  He had accosted her while she was jogging.  She told him to leave her alone and pulled out her phone to call the police.  Now she is dead, stabbed to death.

Those of us who do not live in rural areas as bucolic as Iowa, if we are remotely informed, do not let our daughters jog by themselves in isolated, non-residential areas.  That is not to say such horrific things do not happen in cities.  They do.  Over and over again.  Remember Chandra Levy.  There are countless, nameless others.

Not all the murderers were illegal aliens, but many, many were.  And still the left resists policing our borders.

The murder of Mollie Tibbetts has yet again brought this fact to the front and center of our attention.  Elizabeth Warren, when asked about her murder on CNN, said she felt sorry for the family, but "our focus should be on where the real problems are, separating families at the border."  Cold.  She is an ice queen if there ever was one.  This woman has not a clue about sympathy, let alone empathy.

Like the rest of the left, she values the lives of illegal aliens over the lives of American citizens.  This has become the defining trait of the Democrats: illegals are good; U.S. citizens are bad and probably racist.  That most of those murdered are minorities escapes their notice.  They do not want to discuss and they make no attempt to resolve the weekly slaughter that takes place in Chicago, overwhelmingly black-on-black murders.  Obviously, gun control is not the answer, as Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation.

Mollie Tibbetts was a white girl, a very liberal Democrat, according to her Twitter feed.  Her murder made the news, but the mainstream media were disinclined to mention the illegal status and stolen identity of her murderer.  That does not fit their standard narrative: illegal immigrants are good; American citizens, especially if white, are bad.

This much is clear: the left, the Democratic Party, is the most racist group in this nation.  These people judge everyone by skin color and legal status.  They need open borders and the continuous flood of illegal aliens as future voters in order to maintain their perceived strength and future power.  This is the most important reason Republicans must vote in November.  If the House is lost to the Democrats, open borders and impeachment of President Trump will be the order of the day.  Murders like the one that took Mollie Tibbetts's life will be all the more common.

Fordham University professor Christina Greer, exercised by the Cohen-Manafort news, dismissed Mollie Tibbetts as "that girl in Iowa" whom "Fox News is talking about."  For this woman, the news about Cohen and Manafort was far more important than the murder of a young white girl.  Stephen King, too, when asked about the murder by an illegal, replied, "What about Las Vegas."  True: The Vegas shooter was not an illegal alien.  Does that make Tibbetts's murder less tragic?  To King it does, as it does for Warren and Greer.

Everything to the left is registered on a balance scale.

They do not mourn the deaths of American citizens at the hands of illegals because they see them as just retribution for America's perceived past failings: slavery (abolished), patriarchy (over), Jim Crow (outlawed).  They have a long list of grievances over the nation's past sins and pretend they are all in place, ongoing.  We, as a nation, can never be forgiven, so we must suffer the slings and arrows of their nurtured anger.  American progressives are making common cause with the South African government, which is embarking on the process of confiscating land from white landowners for redistribution.  Our left is supportive of this plan!  Because President Trump is disturbed by this obviously racist scheme, he is again being likened to a "white supremacist."  Nonsense.

Gov. Cuomo's recent declaration that America "was never that great" should be a wake-up call to the millions of America-loving citizens who know a thing or two about our founding, the Constitution, and the actually glorious history that has made this country truly great.  Cuomo, like his dimwitted brother, is a blight upon his state, as is Bill de Blasio on NYC.  Like the rest of the left, they often live in the lap of luxury thanks to the opportunities this country has to offer, and they think nothing of trashing the very nation that made their wealth and success possible.  These are the most contemptible, ungrateful people of the left, the Cuomos, Warren, Greer, nearly the entirety of academia, the media, and the swamp-dwelling denizens of the D.C. Beltway.

The cold emptiness of the elitist left is frightening.  These people are the fascists, the totalitarians.  They are furious at Trump's economic success.  They want to restrict speech; they want to confiscate guns from legal owners; they want to tank the economy by redistributing wealth.  They want to impose the scourge of national health care upon us all.  In short, they want to turn the U.S. into Venezuela.  They will if they gain the power to do so.  They are champing at the bit to inflict socialism on us all.

Vote Republican in November.  Our lives depend on keeping the majority in Congress.
