Season 4 Podcast 23 “Socialism & The Democratic Platform PT I”
The following language is purposely used in the Bill of Rights.
· “Right of the people” Amendment 1
· “Right of the people” Amendment II
· “Right of the people” Amendment IV
· “No person” Amendment V
· “By the people” Amendment IX
· “To the people” Amendment X
Why did our forefathers deliberately avoid favoring specific groups? The answer is obvious. To the government, there should be no respect of persons. All should be treated equally. To see how the language of government has changed, examine the 2020 platform of the Democratic Party which is 83 pages long. Apart from the “We hate Trump” tirade, which if removed would reduce the document to a pamphlet, look at the language:
· Democrats will protect and promote the equal rights of—women, LGBTQ+ people, religious minorities, people with disabilities, Native Americans, and all who have been discriminated against
· Democrats will support medical and public health research grants for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other Minority-Serving Institutions
· Democrats will prioritize support for Black entrepreneurs and other entrepreneurs of color, as well as women entrepreneurs, and other proven programs that invest in low-income communities and communities of color.
· Paid sick leave is a necessity especially for the Black, Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander, Native American, and low-income workers
It is, of course, the language of communism and socialism, not the language of a democratic republic. The language of a democratic republic would be:· Democrats are committed to improving economic mobility for people of color.
· We will make homeownership and the wealth-building more accessible for people of color.
· Democrats are committed to ending sexual assault against Native American women and transgender women of color.
· We will outlaw discrimination against LGBTQ+ people in housing, public accommodations, access to credit, education, jury service, and federal programs.
· We will guarantee transgender students' access to facilities based on their gender identity.
· Democrats will ensure federally funded programs for older adults are inclusive for LGBTQ+ seniors.
· We will prioritize alternatives to detention for individuals who identify as gay, lesbian, transgender, gender non-conforming, or intersex,
It is, of course, the language of communism and socialism, not the language of a democratic republic. The language of a democratic republic would be:
Democrats will protect and promote equal rights
Democrats will support medical and public health research
Democrats will prioritize support for small business.
Democrats will support paid sick leave.
Democrats will support free enterprise.
Democrats will increase funding directed investigations into violations of human rights.
However, if the democrats used the above platform they would no longer be guaranteed the votes of special interest groups. Who would they bribe? Who would they make dependent upon government. Who would they hold captive by entitlements and guaranteed incomes.
