Veered To The Left

By Tammy Derouin

I’ll never forget the first time I saw an individual openly promoting and supporting a self-proclaimed democratic socialist in my hometown.  I was on a walk and for a brief moment I was surprised.  But, considering everything that has happened over the last several years, it shouldn’t have been that surprising.  When the course of the path offered two options, I had to chuckle when he naturally veered to the left and I went to the right.

I continued my walk knowing that my chosen path would always be freedom and independence which includes capitalism and limited government. I struggle to understand what makes an individual think that more government control is what’s best for this country.  After all, it was the free market which propelled the United States to become an economic world leader. 

Our country was founded on the beliefs of freedom and independence.  Self-reliance was once a positive attribute.  What happened to us?  Did life get too difficult?  Why would we willingly trade our freedom for a life of government control?  Do we need to be told how we should live, believe and think?  That’s not freedom.

It’s been almost a year since the T-shirt he was wearing caused me to pause and once again acknowledge just how much our nation has fundamentally transformed.  Lawns and car bumpers now display campaign signs in hopes of a democratic socialist becoming the President of the United States.  What a transformation!

The Democratic Party has two options; Bernie Sanders, the self-proclaimed democratic socialist and Hillary Clinton.  Clinton also embraces socialism and has referred to European socialism in the past.  In addition to her socialist tendencies, we get the added bonus that she is backed by questionable organizations and is currently attached to many scandals.  Her integrity is non-existent.  Her suspicious history, unlike the current Executive, is easier to trace.  Yet many will still vote for her.  Are we truly so foolish?

We stopped paying attention.  Many decided it was easier to demand that the government provide services it was never intended to provide.  When the government abused its power by acting outside of its boundaries, many looked the other way because the outcome benefited them and their agenda.   We have abandoned the rule of law in favor of the rule of man.

The government is all too willing to take over every aspect of our lives.  After all, that’s how the government becomes powerful.  If we give up our rights, the government will decide if we even have rights.  That which the government grants, the government can also take away.  We are willingly feeding the government everything it needs to become stronger and more powerful.  Eventually, it will break free from the lack of restraints to our Constitution.  When that happens, we will have entered darkness.  We will experience an overwhelming amount of misery and despair that we could not have ever imagined happening here, in the United States of America.

So many wave the socialism banner but I wonder how many understand what socialism really means.  I decided to re-visit the book I’ve probably read the most, the dictionary, to see if maybe sunshine, lollipops and unicorns had been magically added to the definition.  Thankfully, the definition was just as blunt as I remember from my days of civics classes.

The definition of socialism as defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary: “1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods. 2 a: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property.  b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state. 3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done.”

Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines social democracy as, “a political movement advocating a gradual and peaceful transition from capitalism to socialism by democratic means.”

The Democratic Socialist of America website states, “Democratic Socialists believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically to meet human needs, not to make profits for a few.  We are a political and activist organization, not a party; through campus and community-based chapters DSA members use a variety of tactics, from legislative to direct action, to fight for the reforms that empower working people.”

How does the takeover of private industry by the government, empower the working people?  Apparently, civics classes are non-existent in our schools.  Welcome to the tip of the socialism iceberg.

“The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.”

Obama Hails ‘Most Progressive Era in Human History’ - Breitbart

Obama Hails ‘Most Progressive Era in Human History’ - Breitbart:

“We are fortunate to be living in the most peaceful, most prosperous, most progressive era in human history,” Obama boasted during a speech in Germany today.

He admitted that his observation was counter to the media narrative that highlighted bad news in the world, but continued to take the long view of his place in human history.

“If you had to choose a moment in time to be born, any time in human history, and you didn’t know ahead of time what nationality you were or what gender or what your economic status might be, you’d choose today,” he said confidently.

He cited the growth of democratic government, wealth, health and education around the globe combined with a “global economy” that lifted more people out of poverty. He also cited a more “tolerant” planet of different races and sexual preferences."

The Green War Against the Working Class

The Green War Against the Working Class:

"There was a time in America—and it wasn’t even so long ago—that liberals actually cared about working class people. They may have been misguided in many of their policy solutions (i.e., raising the minimum wage) but at least their heart was in the right place.

Then a strange thing happened about a decade ago. The radical leftwing environmentalists took control. These are people who care more about the supposed rise of the oceans than the financial survival of the middle class. The industrial unions made a catastrophic decision to get in bed with these radicals and now they—and all of us—are paying a heavy price.

The latest evidence came last week when another coal giant in America, Peabody Energy Corp., declared bankruptcy."

Disturbing reality: Muslim ‘sex-grooming gangs’

Disturbing reality: Muslim ‘sex-grooming gangs’:

"In Britain, they call it “sex grooming.”
In the Netherlands, they’re called “Lover Boys.”

But the phenomenon is the same. A gang of Muslim “Asians” of mostly Pakistani descent seeks out, pursues, chats up and cultivates school girls for sex, turning them into bodies for sale.

A new book is out that the European left is trying its best to ignore. It contains research that blows away the theory, widely reported in the media, that it’s a tiny minority of Muslim men involved in the rape gangs and then only in one British town, Rotherham.

Author Peter McLaughlin argues in his exhaustive study, “Easy Meat: Inside Britain’s Grooming Gang Scandal,” that it’s at least 300 Muslim men who were preying on girls in Rotherham over a 16-year period. And the same type of gangs have been operating in dozens of cities across the United Kingdom, as well as in Muslim areas of the Netherlands and Sweden"

You also neglected to mention that you destroyed our relationship with Israel (our only true ally in the Middle East), while making “friends” with communist regimes and cutting lopsided deals with radical Islamic nations who openly advertise their hate for America for all the world to see. Don’t kid yourself Barry.

Charming. An enemy that was defeated by Ronald Reagan’s military buildup in the 1980s is posing an entirely new threat to the United States. Meanwhile, the current American president prattles about the liberal dream of a nuclear free world, and makes war policy based on the exaggerated threat of “climate change” as the very real threat of foreign countries flexing their military muscles grows right under his nose.

Putin’s Russia is changing the rules of the game, while Obama sits on the sidelines."

Guidance Policy

By Tammy Derouin

It’s good to see that more of the underhanded tactics of our government have come to light over the past couple of weeks.  Of course, if the press was still free and independent, we would have known about this a long time ago. But then again, if we still had a free press which acted like the government watch dog they used to be, would we be dealing with all the scandalous activity which has taken place in the current administration?  Would we be dealing with the outrageous absurdities of the Left? 

The State of Michigan Department of Education released a “Guidance” policy for public schools concerning Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning (LGBTQ) students, back in February.  Did you hear anything about this?  Although a guideline at this point, such a policy would undoubtedly have disastrous effects on our children and our society as a whole.  This policy would allow students of any age to choose their gender, change their name and use the restroom of their choice, without parental knowledge.

Have we completely lost our minds?  The Left will apparently stop at nothing.  Politics aside, this is just plain wrong.  Those on social media have been weighing in quite heavily on this issue. Fathers and husbands are not happy.  Women are deeply concerned.  Just suggest the idea to an adolescent and see how far you get.  Talk about sincere honesty; they’ll tell you the idea is stupid in no uncertain terms.  Of course, they are shocked that such a thing would even be suggested.  After a moment fear settles in as they consider the possibility. You can see the concern in their eyes.

Seriously, does the Michigan State Board of Education really believe that’s its fine to allow individuals who identify with the opposite sex, but are not that sex, into the restroom of their choice?  Males, who identify themselves as females, at any age, could use the girl’s restroom.  Our children, our society is at high risk.  Are we still enjoying the fundamental transformation of America?

The guidance policy states:  “The responsibility for determining a student’s gender identity rests with the student.  Outside confirmation from medical health professionals, or documentation of legal changes, is not needed.”  It is suggested that concerns should be addressed case-by-case.  It should be a student-centered approach but it was the “parent/guardian, as appropriate” wording that caused concern.  “As appropriate,” what could possibly go wrong with that wording?

Our gender is predetermined.  We are born with either a XX chromosome, which identifies a female or a XY chromosome, which identifies a male.  Changing ones appearance doesn’t change your biological makeup.  Individuals who truly have a gender identification issue need help and should get help.   Opening restrooms to anyone and everyone is a disaster waiting in the stalls. 

Michigan, much like every other state in this once great union, is feeling the consequences of the Obama Administration’s overreach of power.  School districts all over the United States are being held hostage.  They either give in to the society-destroying agenda of the Left, or they lose the funding of the federal government.  I know how I would vote.  Schools should have control of education and policy at the local level.

The Left has forced its agenda into a national school system. Whether the school districts across the country and their employees agree or disagree with the federal government, it’s now their job to indoctrinate our children.

Just like Common Core and the data collecting of our children, we are just supposed to accept it.  Some teachers utter the words Common Core without hesitation.  Maybe the matter of fact attitude is a defense mechanism.  If they act like Common Core isn’t destroying the educational learning experience of our children, maybe they won’t be questioned and forced to defend it. 

I often wonder if the teachers are silently screaming inside.  How are teachers or administrators supposed to go up against the power of their union? I have a difficult time believing that they are all willingly falling in lock step with the progressive Left.  Who do they go to with their concerns?  Fear keeps people in line; fear of losing your job, fear of being singled out, mocked and belittled. 

The Michigan Department of Education could be finalizing the guidance policy in the near future.  If you would like to weigh in or check out the guidance policy for yourself, go to www.everyvoicecountsmi.org  

The fundamental transformation of America, as promised, is taking place. We are witnessing the decline of the American way of life.  We took our freedoms and liberties for granted, which allowed tyranny to take root and grab hold of our nation.

“Liberty may be endangered by the abuse of liberty, but also by the abuse of power.”

James Madison


UnitedHealth Exits Most ObamaCare Exchanges, Citing Over $1 Billion In Losses - Breitbart

UnitedHealth Exits Most ObamaCare Exchanges, Citing Over $1 Billion In Losses - Breitbart:

"Some of these providers have made it clear that only substantial premium increases – which taxpayers will be looted without mercy to subsidize, so ObamaCare enrollees don’t panic and drop their coverage – will keep them in the program.

The AP also reports that the Administration is planning to rewrite the Affordable Care Act yet again, presumably through regulatory fiat or executive orders, to make it harder for customers to “sign up for coverage outside regular enrollment windows and then dump expensive claims on their books.” UnitedHealth evidently didn’t want to stay in the game for another year to see how that new adventure in hyper-regulation worked out."

‘We Have to Have More Dialogue — Not Threats’: N.C. Governor Defends Transgender Bathroom Bill | Video | TheBlaze.com

‘We Have to Have More Dialogue — Not Threats’: N.C. Governor Defends Transgender Bathroom Bill | Video | TheBlaze.com:

"North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday to defend the state’s controversial LGBT bathroom law that has led many businesses to boycott the state for its “discrimination” against transgendered individuals.

McCrory, 59, spoke with host Chuck Todd about the issues concerning House Bill 2 (HB2), which has created significant backlash since it was passed into law last month. This new law creates a statewide policy that excludes gender identity and sexual orientation as protected classes under the law, as the News & Observer noted. The law also requires people to use the public bathrooms that correspond with their biological birth gender — not the gender with which they may personally identify."

A Big Week for Immigration | Congressman Trey Gowdy

A Big Week for Immigration | Congressman Trey Gowdy:

"Today, the Supreme Court will allow the House of Representatives 15 minutes of oral argument as the Court examines whether President Obama’s executive actions on immigration should be held unconstitutional.

The Constitution is clear – the President does not make law, Congress makes law. In fact, the role of the President is to enforce the law. Attempts by the Executive Branch to undermine the law, regardless of motivation, are detrimental to our country and the separation of powers created under the Constitution. Once we decide some laws are worth enforcing and some are not, we have weakened the law forever."

"Choke Point allowed the Justice Department to target banks who process payments for the FDIC’s list of 30 high-risk merchant categories, which was determined by pulling the list out of thin liberal air.

The list includes such illegal activities as ammunition sales, coin dealers, firearms sales, surveillance equipment, payday loans–wait a second, those are all legal, well-regulated businesses."
