Gary Bauer's Weekend Review: Looney Left Snap Shot

by Gary Bauer, Contributing Author:  Moore Nonsense - Left-wing hero Michael Moore offered his thoughts on the state of race relations in America in a series of tweets yesterday. Among his "demands," Moore suggested we should "Disarm the police."

Referring to the condition of black Americans, Moore mockingly tweeted, "Imprison u, shoot u, sever your spine, crush your larynx, send u to war, keep u poor, call u a thug, not let u vote. But u can sing for us."

What on earth is he smoking?

"Imprison U" -- Thugs and gang members are imprisoned so that men and women in minority communities can feel safe walking their kids to school. Today's New York Post reports that while blacks and Hispanics make up half of New York City's population, they represent 91.2% of violent-crime suspects and account for 72.3 percent of the victims of all major crimes in the city.

So the question for liberals is this: Are we going to protect minority criminals or minority victims?

"Send U to war" -- Last time I checked, the military was an all-volunteer force and one of the best ways for minorities to get job training, gain access to higher education and escape poverty.

"Keep u poor" -- Why would any American want to keep someone else poor? The taxpayers of this country are contributing billions to big government redistribution programs like welfare and food stamps.

"Not let u vote" -- Black voter turnout exceeded that of white voters in 2012 -- even in states with strict voter ID laws.

If any conservative -- Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ted Cruz -- said or wrote something so full of obvious distortions, they would never again be allowed to participate in a serious debate. But, sadly, I suspect we haven't heard the last of Michael Moore.

The Audacity Of Hillary - Hillary Clinton delivered a speech Wednesday that had heads spinning and jaws dropping all over America. Talking about the need for criminal justice reform in the wake of the Baltimore riots, Mrs. Clinton said this:

"We must urgently begin to rebuild the bonds of trust and respect among Americans -- between police and citizens, yes, but also across society. Restoring trust in our politics, our press, our markets. . . "Hillary Clinton is lecturing us about trust? Liberal columnist Ron Fournier, who has covered the Clintons for decades, could barely contain his disgust. Reacting on Fox News to Hillary's remarks, he said:"I banged my head on my computer when I saw that. If you're like me who actually thinks judicial reform is a very important policy . . . this is especially frustrating. . . . Let's just look at the score here really quickly.

"First of all, she violated ethics laws and rules on both the emails and the foundation. She said that she did the email jiu-jitsu out of a matter of convenience. We know that's not the truth. . . She said that she was sending emails to aides, and they were captured under the State Department email address. We know that's not the case.

"They said that they disclosed all of the foundation donations, and we know that's not the case. Then they said that they couldn't disclose these because of Canadian law. We know that's not the truth.

"So, whatever you think about her politically, it's very clear that her launch, the launch of this campaign has been an assault on the public trust. So, you can't on one hand talk about how we have to . . . mend our political ways, and be literally assaulting the public trust."
By the way, Vermont's socialist Senator Bernie Sanders -- yes, he describes himself as a socialist -- jumped into the Democrat primary this week. That speaks volumes about today's Democrat Party.

One of the media's favorite talking points is how the GOP has become so "right-wing" that Ronald Reagan couldn't win his party's nomination today. That shows you how clueless many pundits are.

The bigger issue is whether Harry Truman, John Kennedy or even Bill Clinton could win their own party's nomination today.

It was Hillary's husband who signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the Defense of Marriage Act and welfare reform, won support with his famous "Sister Souljah" moment and put tens of thousands of additional cops on the streets.

Given her recent flip-flops, Hillary seems to be running against her husband's legacy! That is just how radical the Democrat Party has become in the age of Obama.

Don't Know Much About. . . America's left-wing educational bureaucracy is failing our children and our country. According to the 2014 National Assessment of Educational Progress:
  • Only 27% of 8th grade students were proficient in geography;
  • 23% were proficient in civics; and
  • Just 18% were proficient in U.S. history.
This is beyond outrageous. This is a national scandal. Exactly what are your hard-earned tax dollars accomplishing in our classrooms?

America is being fundamentally transformed in more ways than we can imagine. How can we expect to produce the next generation of citizens and patriots if we are not teaching our own history?

Then again, knowing the politically correct anti-American history that is being taught in many schools, perhaps we should be thankful they aren't learning it!

The Unhinged Left - I previously mentioned that the Baltimore riots offered a number of teachable moments. I hope you're paying attention, friends. The left is coming unhinged, and everyone needs to see it.

One of the few encouraging moments was when Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake finally called out the rioters. Businesses in her city were being destroyed and looted. Members of the press were being attacked. Families going to a baseball game were assaulted. Patrons at area bars and restaurants were beaten up. There was such mayhem that thousands of fans were confined inside a baseball stadium for their own safety.

The mayor rightfully said that nothing excuses the thugs who were tearing down and destroying her city. Unbelievably, she and the city council president have since apologized for using the word "thug."

They did so after a member of the city council went on a nationally televised tirade and claimed that "thug" is code for the racial slur "n***er." That is just nuts. Thugs come in all colors as do people who are good and decent.

Sadly, the mayor beat a hasty retreat. She even went so far as to say there are no thugs in Baltimore. If that's true, then lay off the entire police force because it obviously is not needed. Who knew Baltimore was such a paradise -- free from those who might rob and pillage. Oh, wait a minute -- that's exactly what the thugs just did!

President Obama used the word "thug" too to describe the rioters. He is standing by that adjective -- for now.

Baltimore clearly has bigger problems than some rogue police and a lack of job opportunities in some communities. A city whose leaders feel they have to apologize for calling rioters thugs, that praises the Crips and the Bloods, has sunk so deeply into the bizarro world of the left that it is amazing it is being governed at all.

It has been reported that the Crips and Bloods protected businesses from being looted. But NPR reported that black-owned businesses were protected, while Asian-owned businesses were targeted as "payback."

Is this really progress?
