Lying Leftists Like Bernie Sanders are Divisive

Avowed socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders isn’t the first person to say it, but he’s one of the latest and most prominent to claim that conservatives (i.e. Republicans–as if they were the same anymore) are “dividing” the nation.

“I think the Republicans have done a brilliant job over the years — they’re very smart guys — in dividing people on a million different issues. They divide people on gay marriage. They divide people on abortion. They divide people on immigration.”

Liberals have actually been spewing this lie for several years now. Like all Leftist propaganda, it is designed to mask their dark agenda with a lie that accuses their opposition of doing precisely what they are doing. What better way is there to misdirect people from the wrong that you are doing than to accuse your enemies of doing what you are doing?

For example, it was common back around the 1960s for Marxists to denounce the United States as “imperialistic”…even though it was Marxism that was on the march and was working desperately to bring the entire world under its iron clutches, and the United States was trying to help keep as much of the world as possible free.

Of course, you have all the propaganda monikers that Leftists like to use, too, to misdirect people away from their dark agenda. Recall that the Soviet Union was officially known as the “Union of Soviet Socialist Republics”–when there was nothing republican whatsoever about their brutally oppressive government. East Germany, a captured satellite of the Soviet Union, was officially called the “German Democratic Republic,” even though, like its master the USSR, there was nothing whatsoever democratic or republican about a regime that had to build a wall guarded with automatic weapons to keep their own people from escaping the socialist utopia. Or the “People’s Republic of China” where the communist thugs who crushed freedom with tanks don’t even remotely resemble a republic, and certainly the people aren’t allowed any freedom that their communist oppressors don’t want them to have.

So it is that Bernie Sanders (pretty much the only Democrat around with the courage to openly admit he’s a socialist) claims it is conservatives who are “dividing people.”

Prior to the Leftist push that began in this country in the 1960s, the American people were overwhelmingly opposed to sodomy, and only in the last 20 years has an Orwellian and impossible concept like “gay marriage” even become thinkable in public. That’s why sodomy was illegal across the United States from colonial times; it was recognized as a gross perversion of human sexuality that was corrosive to the fabric of a healthy society. That is also why over 40 states had specifically outlawed counterfeit marriage…until five black-robed oligarchs decided to impose it on a once-free nation.

Prior to the indoctrination of the people into liberalism by the intelligentsia in this nation, the American people overwhelmingly understood that abortion involved the murder of an innocent human life in the womb, and was wrong. That’s why abortion was illegal throughout the overwhelming majority of the United States until a majority of black-robed oligarchs told the American people in 1973 that murder should be legal. That is also why the majority of Americans still recognize that abortion is murder, even when you throw in “exceptions” for murder.

Prior to the balkanization of America by Marxist radicals, it was universally understood that a nation must have borders, that it must have controlled immigration and assimilation, and that the rule of law is of paramount importance to the stability of a nation. That is why we have borders, border guards, and immigration law in the first place, and plays no small part in the amazing popularity of the Donald Trump campaign.

So tell me: if someone comes along and attempts to change something that has been in place for centuries, attempts to undermine a system that has produced the greatest nation in history…precisely who is being divisive?

Is the person who wants to continue a centuries-old system that has produced unparalleled liberty and prosperity the divisive one?

Or is the divisive one the person who seeks to undermine all this good, to subvert law and order, and lead people into practices that history and situations around the world unfailingly teach us are unsustainable and destructive?

The truth is extremely clear.  You, Bernie Sanders, and your Leftist ilk (which includes 99% of the Orwellian-named Democrat Party), are the divisive ones.
