When the Progressive Left redefines words and what it leads to…

Democrats, Progressives & the Left in this country very often redefine whichever words they don’t like whenever those words don’t fit their political ideology.  There is often a clear tactical reason for their doing this. Since the election of President Trump, in many instances, they have doubled down on this habit.

Race is one of the main words whose meaning they have completely destroyed and assigned a new meaning based on their political and ideological needs. For the new American Left, race now equals any culture or ethnic group that is not American or European. They are unbending about this edict despite most Anthropologists citing only three or four basic races.

Why do they do it? They do it because if their political opponent criticizes a certain culture, then they accuse them of being a ‘racist’, one of the more powerful ad-hominem attacks that Democrats use these days in political debate.  When Progressives decided that multiculturalism, as miserable as it is, would become a standard ethos, it opened up numerous access points for using this tactic.  Many knew the debate couldn’t be won based solely on the issues, so by resorting to accusations of “racism”, the debate is conveniently shutdown.

Other examples of the Left’s redefinitions include such words and concepts as nationalism, Democrat Socialism, Nazism, citizenship, immigrant, alien, borders, authoritarian, fascist/fascism, various gender pronouns and list goes on and on.  The one most recently in the spotlight:  Asylum or Refugeeism.  Democrats seem to have conveniently and purposely forgotten all the statutes on what constitutes a refugee as laid out in the 1949/51 Geneva Convention after the Second World War. It is also doubtful that they have read or studied any of the Travaux Préparatoires to the treaties. If they have, then they are purposefully ignoring them.

In fact, they stubbornly refuse to acknowledge that the mere desire to flee a less economically prosperous country or one engulfed in severe criminal activity does NOT equal the right to Asylum.  It does not make you a refugee.  The left also feebly attempts to compare such atrocities as Jews fleeing Nazi Germany with these groups of impoverished Third World residents and their desire to seek entrance to this country to pursue a better civic and economic life.

This is of course absurd since the Geneva Convention and years of precedent are crystal clear as to what constitutes a valid asylum claim: there must be persecution based on either ethnic, religious or racial grounds. (Conventions de Genève: Art. 1 [A]2)

Historically, many citizens fleeing war-torn countries have sought asylum in assorted countries because of the persecutory nature of large groups of people based on the above-mentioned characteristics.  It is a gross insult to the memory of the millions who perished in the atrocities of the Second World War, to try and make such a feeble comparison between them and today’s ubiquitous caravans stomping across Mexico and attempting to defiantly smash across our sovereign borders.

These all-too frequent caravans traveling from all the impoverished Central American countries do not contain refugees. They contain economic migrants. Some try to call them economic refugees; such a term does not even really exist. Their attempt to claim refugee status is no less than impudent.

The various gang wars that plague these countries do not constitute ethnic, racial or religious persecution. They are impoverished, crime-ridden countries and unfortunately the world is filled with them.  We are a generous nation and we give billions of dollars in foreign aid to many of these countries however, we can no more approve asylum claims for these individuals than we could for the entire continent of poverty stricken Africa.

Because of an unfettered asylum procedure in this country which has been known as ‘catch & release‘, these so-called refugees try to claim non-refoulement status and often end up being released into the interior of our country, never to return for their court date to adjudicate their spurious asylum cases.  They make a mockery of our system, right along with the approval of the Democrats, thus telegraphing a horrifying signal to the entire world: “if you can figure out how to get here and touch your toe across the border into the USA, inevitably you will most likely be able to stay”.

The result is stupefying! When we import large sectors of those countries into our country as the Democrats and Progressives advocate, we then end up looking just like those countries. Just have a look at the sad state of affairs in California.  Our nation is bursting at its seams with people, California alone has over 130,000 homeless people, yet the open borders activists (i.e. the Democratic Party) still would like to import some more impoverished people before taking care of their own citizens.

While the Democratic Party, the globalists and the new Progressive American Left support this whole loosey-goosey reinterpretation of asylum, the rest of the country is on its way to the grotesque third world hellhole that California & many major American cities have become the last two decades.

But why? Because, it makes the rich richer, it destroys the middle class and creates a serf class that will be there to serve the globalist, neoliberal left’s political & ideological needs for decades to come.

It’s a new rubric: steal from the middle class and redistribute that wealth to the extreme ends of the pole as follows:

1. To the ultra rich elite by padding their lifestyles with the cheap imported labor and:

2. The leftover crumbs go to that imported serf class made up of the third world imports and the former middle, but now impoverished class.

It’s pure poison!
