The left is on a rampage

OPINION:

The morning before Charlie Kirk’s murder, I told my sisters that the big myth was that the Democrats used to be safe Americans — you know, patriotic, God-fearing, moral, anti-crime proponents of free speech.

Forget that. Liberals hate those points to the extreme, and many have cheered Mr. Kirk’s killing as revenge for the man’s having brilliantly lauded conservative values.

If lefties couldn’t beat Courageous Kirk in debate — a feat impossible at campuses throughout the country and even in England — then gun him down, which someone on their side did in Utah last week.

The mistake conservatives make is yearning for Democrats of yore, those liberals who supposedly had their civil feet on the ground under Presidents Truman and Kennedy.

But they never did. Let’s check the issues:

• Slavery: The slave owners were Democrats.

• Secession: Democrats voted for it.

• The Civil War: Democrats caused it and lost it.

• Terror: Democrats started the KKK after Republicans freed the slaves.

• Income tax: President Wilson ignited it, pilfering Americans at the expense of tariffs.

• Suffering: Franklin D. Roosevelt started America down the road of massive government spending while dragging out the Great Depression.

• Traitors: FDR and Harry S. Truman had plenty in their administrations, including Harry Dexter White and Alger Hiss, passing secrets to the Soviets.

• Slaughter: John F. Kennedy sparked the Vietnam War, the second straight dead-end conflict after Korea that a Republican had to finish.

• Ruination: President Johnson signed Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s 1965 immigrant bill, which opened the floodgates to immigrants and changed the face of America.

• Lawfare: The Democrats had no chance in 1972 against Richard Nixon, who bulldozed them with a 49-state landslide. So what do they do? Drag Nixon through congressional hearings until he resigns. This foretold the game plan liberals tried against Donald Trump. Only this time, DJT stood not only for the president’s name but also for Don’t Just Try.

• Waste: President Carter couldn’t keep from swelling the bureaucracy, starting the Energy and Education departments, which accomplish nothing.

• Kowtowing: President Obama loved the Iranians so much that he flew pallets of billions of dollars their way, just in case their terrorism account ran dry.

• Destruction: President Biden, the con in chief after the 2020 rigged election, opened the southern border to millions of illegals. Each one will vote Democratic, expediting the fall of America.

The only ones in the way of that invasion are Mr. Trump and his loyalists, such as Charlie Kirk.

Democrats knew it. So they tried to kill Mr. Trump and did kill Mr. Kirk.

Charlie Kirk was one big, beautiful force of nature.

This is truly a sad time for America, but it’s not the end. Charlie Kirk called his college march “The American Comeback Tour.” There’s no question we’re coming back.

Other brilliant Americans, including Mr. Kirk’s Joan of Arc wife, Erika, will stand tall for this titanic country.

And tell it like it is: We’d better keep beating the left before it pulls another 1917, when the Bolsheviks turned Russia into a killing field.

As Elon Musk posted on his X: “The Left is the party of murder.”

Another top talent, TV and podcast wiz Jesse Kelly, said on X: “Do not for one second think this is a rare thing. Democrats are violent. They love violence. This is the norm.”

It is. My few lefty friends didn’t send one message of condolence for Mr. Kirk.

In reality, liberals want MAGA to disappear. If it takes death, so be it.

As treacherous as the Democrats have been for two centuries, they are just as bad now. Watch your back.
