Government of the self was the original basis for republican government, reflecting the view that civil society was much more than politics. Society was made up of men and women who gave order to their lives by entering into associations on a voluntary basis, quite apart from government, for all the various reasons of fellowship, philanthropy, faith and commerce.

As I’ve written before, hate does have a home within America’s borders… if it’s the “right” sort of hate and being spewed by the “right” sort of “people” and at the “right” sort of victim. Indeed, if the author of the hate is possessed of what our domestic enemies call a “protected trait” the Left will be both quick and virulent in their support for- and protection of said hater irrespective of what they said.
And, Ilhan Omar is their perfect example of such a “protected class.” She’s a “refugee” from Somalia, Black, Muslim, and a Female. I’d say that the only way Omar would be better in the eyes of Liberals and Progressives is if she was a Lesbian, but being both Black and Muslim, they excuse her from the necessity of being homosexual.
The curves of women were created by God to please and comfort men, just as the muscles of men were created by God to support and defend women. Who are any of us to go against God’s will?
It’s quite true that illegal immigrants come to America with far more and far worse than the clothes on their backs. They invade our nation carry with them a plethora of diseases and parasites, putting our people – especially our elderly and our children – at risk.
And again, this is quite true despite our domestic enemies’ and their dutiful intelligentsia’s repeated claims to the contrary. Their refutations are nothing but claims that there has been to-date “no significant” impact upon American society from immigrant-borne diseases and parasites. But by what criteria does one judge significance? And, when has America ever had to deal with an invasion of illegals at the scale that we now face?
Our domestic enemies certainly have no consistent of objective answer to the question of significant impact. Just refer to how the scream about measles outbreaks and vilify the anti-vaxxers as some sort of apocalyptic plague bringers. And this is measles we’re talking about, not something far worse for either the victims or society as a whole.
Measles Mortality Risks:
1:10,000 (0.01%) of measles cases are fatal
3-3.5:10,000 (0.03–0.035%) of measles cases result in seizure
1:20,000 (0.005%) of measles cases result in measles encephalitis
1:80,000 (0.00125%) of cases result in permanent disability
7:1,000 (0.7%) of cases are hospitalized
Yet they utterly ignore America’s most lethal and widespread disease, the common, ordinary, nameless Flu, which has an 18% mortality rate and claims the lives of 36,000 Americans annually, again mostly small children and the elderly.
Yeah, those sorts who will say anything to refute the clear and present dangers and health risks that illegals present to Americans have no measurable basis for their stance on the issue. Then, like with most things, our domestic enemies’ stance on this is based upon Identity Politics and hate, not statistics or other repeatable facts.
The rampant hypocrisy of Democrats is well established. Yet, even with that bar having been set, Bernie Sanders manages to go that stumbling step further into out-of-touch surrealism.
I wrote a best-selling book. If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too.

Just pause a moment or two and reflect upon the cluelessness, self-unawareness, “privilege,” and rank hypocrisy of that statement by America’s best-known and best-positioned Socialist.
