Memo to the Democratic Socialists of America on the 4th of July

Memo to the Democratic Socialists on the 4th of July Thank the founders of America, the founders you despise. They created the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and laws that allow you to pontificate. Learn the history of America – not the Howard Zinn’s A People’s History, a socialist fractured dogma of American history, as is The 1619 Project. Learn the history of America – not the woke, DEI history taught at the ”elite” universities you attended. Learn the history of the Pilgrims. They started with socialism, the collectivism of the land. The product of the land would be shared communally. It failed the first year. Too many freeloaders and two few producers willing to exert their labors for the benefit of freeloaders. The land was then allocated in parcels to the families. Prosperity and Thanksgiving followed. Socialism failed; capitalism won. The lesson is clear. Socialism deadens initiative. Ignorant of the American Revolution. The Revolution recognized government reponsding and answering to the people – not the crowned heads that ruled Europe, Asia and the colonies – a true revolution in the history of civilization. You hate capitalism? Surrender your IPhones, IMacs, IPads, Mac Books, Apple watches. They are the innovations of capitalism. You hate capitalism? Stop using the medications that save your lives. They are the research of capitalism. You hate capitalism? Give up the internet and social media. They are innovations of capitalism. You hate capitalism? Say goodbye to Google. Google is the creation of two Stanford graduate students. You hate capitalism? Junk your EVs and Hybrids. They’re the product of capitalistic corporations. Believe America is ripe with inequality? Socialism results the equality of poverty and misery, except for the top1-2% of rulers, who live in luxury. Socialism penalizes hard work and deadens opportunity. Want to see socialism in action? Go to Cuba and Venezuela, the dictatorships in the name of the people. Don’t go to Cuba and Venezuela. Walk the downtown streets of San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland. Think socialism is great. Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping converted China to an economy driven by capitalism. India initially adopted socialism upon independence. Socialism failed in both China and India. Capitalism has raised hundreds of millions of Indians out of socialist poverty. Think socialism works? Check the successful entrepreneurs currently fleeing California and Washington. It’s the Pilgrims four centuries later. Blame America on White Privilege? About 320 thousand Union Army and Navy soldiers and sailors died to free 4 million slaves. Blame America on White Privilege. White Privilege gave women the vote as well as all citizens, regardless of race, color, nationality, or sex. Oppose the founders because most were slaveholders. They created your rights and liberties. They knew slavery was bad, but the states could not be united as the United States without compromises: 1) the equality of two Senators for every state 2) The electoral college, giving small a large role in the election of the President 3) Preserving the Slave Trade for 20 years 4) The infamous 3/5 provision for slaves. The slave states, which otherwise did not recognize the rights of slaves, wanted them counted as one each for purposes of Congressional reapportionment. The Northern States objected. The result was 3/5 instead of 1/1. How do we know the drafters of the Constitution knew slavery was bad? Read the Constitution as adopted. Nowhere in the Constitution do you find the words “slave’’ ‘slavery” or “slave trade.” Thomas Jefferson’s draft of the Declaration of Independence included 169 words that blamed King George III for forcing slaves onto the American colonies. Those words were excised, presumably by Georgia and South Carolina. Hate capitalism? Most of you are young, filled with the idealism of youth, filled with a close mind, because you know and understand everything. You believe America is not the land of opportunity? Why do millions wish to come to America, even today? Why did your ancestors come to America? Yes, for themselves, but mostly to give their children an opportunity. They sacrificed for you. President Biden tried to buy your vote by forgiving student loans: Freeloading! Mayor Andrew Cuomo said “America was never that great.” America’s greatness is shown by you being here, however ungrateful you are.
