Democratic Socialist Lawyers

Doesn't matter what side you are on this is an interesting comment on our country today. And written by a lawyer.

Lawyers

As an attorney, I hesitated to forward this as it can be considered to be an indictment against my profession. But I believe there is much truth to the article below. Very thought provoking. Lawyers are adversarial and are trained to try to win at all costs. It may work in litigation but does not work well when governing our nation. Trying to win at any costs creates the polarization and hatred that now fills our country and leaves no room for common sense or legitimate debate.

Every Democrat presidential nominee since 1984 went to law school, although Gore did not graduate. Joe Biden (no surprise) was at the bottom of his class. Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school. Barack Obama was a lawyer. Michelle Obama was a lawyer. Hillary Clinton was a lawyer. Bill Clinton was a lawyer. John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards was a lawyer. Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress: Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer is a lawyer. Former Senator Harry Reid was a lawyer.

The Republican Party is different. President Trump was a businessman. Presidents Bush 1 and 2 were businessmen. Vice President Cheney was a businessman. President Eisenhower was a 5 star General. The leaders of the Republican Revolution: Newt Gingrich was a history professor. Tom Delay was an exterminator. Dick Armey was an economist. Ex-House Minority Leader John Boehner was a plastics manufacturer. The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon. Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford, who left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting president, running against actor Ronald Reagan in 1976. The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers. This is very interesting. I had never thought about it this way before.

The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Trump, Bush, and Cheney, or who heal the sick like Frist, or who immerse themselves in history like Gingrich. The Lawyers Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and services that people want, as the enemies of America. And so, in the eyes of the Lawyers Party, we have seen the procession of official enemies grow. Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail? Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers, and anyone producing anything of value in our nation.This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the eyes of lawyers. Lawyers solve problems by successfully representing their clients, which, in this case should be the American people. Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers always parse language to favor their side. Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine. But it is an awful way to govern a great nation.

When politicians, as lawyers, begin to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our life becomes all-consuming. Some Americans become adverse parties of our very government. We are not all litigants in some vast social class-action suit We are citizens of a republic that promises us a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from lawyers.

Today, we are drowning in laws. We are contorted by judicial decisions. We are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once private lives. America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked. When the most important decision for our next president is whom he will appoint to the Supreme Court, the role of lawyers and the law in America is too big. When House Democrats sue America in order to hamstring our efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in America has become crushing.

Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot be brought to our nation by those lawyers who already largely dictate American society and business. Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by hard work. Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more power will only make our problems worse.

The United States has 5% of the world's population and 66% of the world's lawyers! Tort or legal reform legislation has been introduced in congress several times in the last several years to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it to you and also to limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice lawsuits. This legislation has been blocked from even being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you see that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association go to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs being so high.

Why Only Christianity Can Save the West… Again

Hellenistic thought experienced its “golden age” during the the 5th and 4th centuries B.C. This period witnessed the lives of some of history’s greatest philosophers, teachers, authors, and playwrights, and culminated with the spreading of Hellenism by Alexander the Great.

But by the end of the 1st century B.C., Hellenistic thought had been exhausted. Its creative energies had dried up; its ideas had lost their life.  

As Harvard professor Georges Florovsky noted in 1957:

“The ‘ancient’ Hellenism, in fact, completed its course, and its internal limitations were spectacularly exposed. In all areas of human existence, the ‘ancient Hellenism’ found itself in a desperate impasse.”

An Appeal to Christians for Home Education

An Appeal to Christians for Home Education

I’m sorry to say this, but we live in a nation that seeks to devour children.

You probably already knew that, especially in consideration of the wickedness that has become more prevalent in recent years and taken hold of every facet of our society. There is nothing slowing down the widespread state of evil within our government, our cities, our schools, and even in some of our churches. However, over the last two years, the evil has taken a darker turn as the attacks on our children have escalated.

Consider the following realities in our country now (and please be warned: some of the links here are graphic and disturbing): Activists are now attempting to normalize sex between adults and minors. Doctors have no problem performing medical experiments on kids, and hospitals are performing hysterectomies, double mastectomies, and phalloplastys (where skin on the forearm or thigh is removed to create a non-functioning penis), on young girls.

Federal judge rules Louisville can’t force Christian photographer to shoot same-sex weddings against her religious beliefs

Federal judge rules Louisville can’t force Christian photographer to shoot same-sex weddings against her religious beliefs

“The City treats the equal status of same-sex marriages as fixed. As a matter of law, it is. But today’s dispute concerns whether the government may conform speech to that development. Under the First Amendment, it may not. The freedom of speech—especially for minority views—is a core premise of our democratic republic.”

–JUDGE BENJAMIN BEATON, U.S. DISTRICT COURT

Have Chinese Spies Infiltrated American Elections?

"After the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the continuous development of political and economic reform, all kinds of election activities will become more and more a norm. We have a senior professional team that has been engaged in election service and management for a long time, and we have the experience of overseas election internship and exchange. We can provide the most professional election consulting service and election activity solutions for all places and levels of Party committees, NPCs, CPPCCs, trade unions, overseas Chinese Federation, women's federations, Communist Youth League; villages, towns, streets, communities and units that have the need for election and evaluation of priorities.”

On a now-deleted website for the Chinese company, Jinhua Yulian Network Technology Co., the statement above was written by Eugene Yu, the Founder & CEO of Konnech Inc., a U.S. election company based out of East Lansing, Michigan.

Vulnerable House Dems strike a conservative note, distance themselves from their party

Immanuel Kant said "But a lie is a lie, and in itself intrinsically evil, whether it be told with good or bad intents."

Do Not fall for the Democratic Socialist lie.  They are still Democratic Socialist.

Congressional Democrats at risk of losing their seats in November are distancing themselves from their party’s national brand, hoping to appeal to voters with a more conservative law-and-order agenda.

These swing-state incumbents are running on a pro-police, anti-socialist platform that bucks the Democratic Party’s playbook.

As moderate Democrats in districts susceptible to flipping to the GOP, they say they know their constituents better than national party leaders.

“By and large, we are the ones who are closest to our districts,” said Rep. Chris Pappas, an at-risk New Hampshire Democrat. “It’s really important for our leadership to heed the calls of swing district members that are here each and every day.”

Labor Day Is A Celebration Of American Exceptionalism, Job Creators, And Hard Workers

September 5, 2022

Labor Day should be recognized as the holiday that celebrates not only labor, but also the ideas, job creators, and institutions central to the flourishing of the United States and its people.

For most people, Labor Day is a rather vague holiday without the clarity and meaning typically associated with other holidays. Yet in its most complete context, Labor Day should be recognized as the holiday that celebrates not only labor, but also the ideas, job creators, and institutions central to the flourishing of the United States and its people.

For starters, consider the tools brought by the colonists who arrived in the New World along the eastern seaboard that would become the United States. These were the same rudimentary tools — such as shovels, axes, hoes, and ploughs — that had been used for prior centuries. But something happened in America that sped up economic development and transformed labor output beyond what had ever happened previously in human history.
