The Politics of Exaggerated Alarmism

Good Monday, everyone. I pray you had a wonderful and celebratory Independence Day weekend. As we went into our 249th Independence Day, we would once again be exposed to the progressive socialist leftist politics of exaggerated alarmism. I mean, once again, as always, even going back to when I was in Congress in 2011, we hear the insidious rhetoric, “if this bill passes, it will kill people.” Basically, this translates to, “we are idiot Marxists and we have no policy solutions, so we have to fear-monger you into believing us.” I mean, this line of delusion follows right along with the repeated ranting about “it is only going to help billionaires.” And we know that the newest leftist flavor of the month, Zohran Mamdani, does not believe that billionaires should exist…well, unless it is George Soros and other leftist billionaires who fund progressive insanity.

Let’s just reflect upon recent progressive socialist exaggerated alarmism.

First, there is the whole climate change, I mean global cooling, nope, global warming mania. I remember back when I was a teenager growing up in Atlanta the rage from the left was a coming ice age. Yes, we were gonna be freezing to death, something that did actually happen here in Texas a few winters ago due to the collapse of wind and solar renewable energy. Now, being from Georgia back then, we kinda were accustomed to heat and humidity. For us to hear that we were going to freeze to death, (spoiler alert, we did get ice storms back then), it was troubling. I recall asking my Dad about that and his response to me was, “Boy, that is just nonsense.” Then came the global warming hysteria, we were going to cook to death. Well, when that leftist argument fell apart, it just became climate change. Well, I always thought we had climate change: winter, spring, summer, and fall. Hey, isn’t that a song by James Taylor that he sang to the French people with John Kerry after an Islamic jihadist attack in Paris?

If you do not embrace the weather hysteria, exaggerated alarmism of the left, that we are all going to die unless they control what you drive, the means of transportation, and even kill off cows, then you are a troglodyte.

Who can forget the Covid exaggerated alarmism? I mean, forcing healthy people to stay in their houses and not come out to get fresh air? Arresting a Dad at a playground with his child or a paddleboarder just paddling along, alone, on the ocean? Who came up with the 6ft rule? And you had best keep that mask on, or else! Heck, you should wear two masks. How many of you would just die laughing watching people lower a mask to eat, then quickly put it back on to chew…as if Mr. Covid was waiting to sneak in there with your food. The mania was so nonsensical that people would be driving in their car, alone, windows up, wearing a mask. People died because the leftist powers struck down any form of solution that they did not approve…Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, Budesonide nebulizers, and treating those with specific comorbidities. Nope, shut up, wear a mask, lock down, stay separated, close your business…or else people will die. Funny, Andrew Cuomo and his policies of exaggerated alarmism resulted in how many elderly New Yorkers losing their lives?

Gender dysphoria is a mental condition. However, if you, as a parent, do not “affirm” YOUR child’s preferred gender, in other words, delusion, then you run the risk of your child committing suicide. So, let YOUR Son become a Daughter, so at least they are alive? Or else, we will remove YOUR child from you in order that they can affirm their delusion by way of the medical industrial complex’s mutilation of their bodies. The left has implanted this folly into our society. Understand, if you are an adult and wish to turn your choo choo train into a tunnel, or vice versa, knock yourself out. But do not fearmonger parents into subjugating their parental rights to a progressive socialist ideological agenda.

For all the blather about killing people, when it is leftist policies that actually do kill people, these deranged useful idiots are silent. Where were these maniacal voices when Joe “Autopen” Biden was unleashing the policy of open borders upon our America? Where were the voices of these same charlatans when Americans were dying from fentanyl poisoning, in numbers greater than the Korean and Vietnam Wars combined? Where was the outcry about Americans being murdered, raped, assaulted by criminal illegal immigrants? NYC’s very own little Evita Peron, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, was silent when a criminal illegal immigrant set a woman on fire in a NYC subway, yet she referred to the budget reconciliation bill as a deal with the devil.

I find it disconcerting that these Marxists are always ranting about killing people when history has told us that it has been leftist (progressive, socialist, Marxist, and communist) policies that have killed hundreds of millions of people. One need only study the National Socialism of Hitler, the madness of Josef Stalin, the death purges of Chairman Mao Tse-Tung, the executions committed by Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, and the killing fields of the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot.

So, the next time you hear a leftist screaming about the politics of exaggerated alarmism, run away, because it is they who actually seek to kill you. I mean, why is it that leftists so hate unborn babies? Kinda reminds me of the Baal god Moloch…the god of child sacrifice.

Steadfast and Loyal.
