Socialism and the Group leading the way in America. Meet Indivisible.

This election is a fight for our values as Americans against socialist elites hungry for power who want to change America forever. Socialism has never empowered the average guy.  That guy always ends up in the street begging for food or worse, e.g. Venezuela.  What really happens is the connected always benefit.  It is no surprise then that it is these elites with their supporters  in academia and the mainstream media, who push this socialist ideology.  When the revolution that you hear them forecasting  these days comes, it is they who expect to be in power.  They truly believe they are better than all of us and should have power over us. They are the people our Constitution was set up to stop from taking over.  They are people  like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Bill DeBlasio and AOC.  Nancy Pelosi and Schumer desperate to hold on to their remaining power have also bought into this ideology.

They are also the people behind organizations called  “Indivisible” founded by people who were unhinged  by Trump’s  election which thwarted their rise to power.  The Democratic left likes to call Trump “the divider in chief,” but the rhetoric of Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders and other democratic socialists shows who truly wants to divide the country to gain power.  It is they who now believe they will have power over a half-demented, weak President Biden so they can fully orchestrate their agenda. 

If you haven’t heard of the group Indivisible it’s time to learn  about them. They are essentially socialism in America on the rise.  Indivisible Groups have been formed all over the country with the sole purpose of undermining our President. One  of their early agenda items was support of a Trump impeachment.  Indivisible has been working quietly in the background but has more recently become emboldened and has aligned themselves essentially taking over protest and other activities for Black lives Matter only with a much broader and more sinister very left-wing progressive agenda.  They are the ones that came up with Defunding the Police, not BLM. They are not black they are white extreme leftists.  

The organization was formed right after Trump was elected by a group of former democratic congress member staffers.  They modeled the organization after the Tea Party with chapters in cities and towns across the country - many are mostly involved with do-gooder type activities, environmental stuff and the like - but ready to take up the true cause.  They have had programs dedicated to harassing members of congress to thwart forwarding Trump’s programs and approvals of appointments.  They claim credit for getting the Democrats  back the house in 2018.  Their last big drive was supporting the impeachment of Trump with nationwide marches and other activities,  They recently partnered with Black Lives Matter essentially taking the leadership role in many of their protests.  For instance, the Black Lives Matter protests in Punta Gorda and other cities around the country were organized by local Indivisible groups.

What the Polls Don’t Capture - Peter Feaman.

THE BACKHOE CHRONICLES

The news media can conduct all the polls they wish to in order to dampen pro-Trump enthusiasm and to discourage voter turnout....

What the polls do not capture (and never will) are 2 things:

1. Registration of new voters and the Trump grass roots campaign.

Here is a direct quote from the Chairwoman of the RNC: "We have been building up our ground game for the past year. We have had people in all of these battleground states. We have the highest staff that we have ever had and we have activated over a million volunteers. And the Biden operation has not been existent. So, the second the pandemic hit, we went completely virtual, we haven't lost a step and we’ve continued to do voter registration. And we have registered more voters already than we did in the entire 2016 cycle."

So, when a media outlet or other polling outfit commissions a poll, their only known sample set are people who voted in 2016.

Therefore, we keep registering new voters. They are out there because Mr. Trump continues to enlarge his base.

2. THE ENTHUSIASM GAP

Last week, there were 2 special elections. What was never reported was that Republican turnout set records.

Our voters are recognizing things — what happened to Michael Flynn;  the obstruction the President has dealt with; the calls by Democrats to defund the police; the silent approval by Democrats of the tearing down of our history and their refusal to condemn mob violence.

Our voters know that the very future  of a free and capitalist society is at stake.We are absolutely energized to make sure Republicans not only take the presidency, but keep the Senate and win back the House.

Trump’s Reelection Depends on You

Dear Republicans:

As we celebrate our country’s birthday today, and show our appreciation of the liberty and freedom that our great country gives us, we should be aware of how fragile that liberty and freedom are, and how they are now being threatened by the Democratic Socialist Party. The upcoming election on November 3rd is the difference between preserving our conservative values for not only current times, but for future generations. It is our responsibility as guardians of liberty to stand up and be counted by loudly voicing and demonstrating our support of President Trump.

As the Irish statesman and philosopher, Edmund Burke, said back in the 1700s, and it applies even more today is “All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men (and women) do nothing.” I believe this quote says it all. We must rise up to this threat to our country from the left, since socialism is evil. 

Remember, socialism is one step removed from Communism. All one has to do is look at the history of socialism and see its failure. Venezuela is a classic example. Of course, one of the initiatives from the left’s playbook is the rewriting of history. Look at CNN and you will never find any favorable news article on President Trump, our history or our values. Essentially, CNN and MSNBC are connected parts of the Democratic media machine.

We need to be actively supporting the President’s campaign by doing whatever we can such as phone banking, attending rallies and flag waving, putting bumper stickers on your car, lawn signs, etc. We need to fearlessly demonstrate our support. We cannot be intimated by lawless looters and rioters burning our cities and taking down statues of historical figures. Fear is all part of the left wing playbook. 

The final item I would like to address is social media. Looking at the statistics with various posts, it is clear that posts that convey a positive message highlighting the President’s accomplishments and campaign events have far greater impact.  The President’s accomplishments during his first term have been enormous. For instance, a recent post on the Trump Boat Parade achieved over 9,000 views and 100 likes. 

When you look at the Democrats message there really is only one and that is to beat the President. They have nothing else to offer other than raising your taxes, destroying our economy, suppressing free speech, taking our guns away, and increasing the size of the Federal Government with choking and repressive regulations. 

So, I hope that I am preaching to the choir, as I ask you please to actively and aggressively support in every way you can our campaign for the re-election of President Trump.  Write letters to the editor, post positive Facebook messages, and actively participate in the campaign activities such as rallies and sign waving. You can sign up or donate at charlottegop.com. 

Stay safe and stay strong. 

Thank you, Gene Murtha

The Hypocrisy of Statue Removal - The Founder of Planned Parenthood Still Honored

The removal of statues commemorating Civil War-era confederate figures from public squares and buildings is the demand of the day.  Yet a statue remains in Washington D.C.’s Smithsonian Institution commemorating the one person responsible for the deaths of more African Americans that any other in history: Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood.

More than 19 million black babies have been aborted.  Abortion is the number one killer of black lives in the United States.  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, abortion kills more black people than HIV, homicide, diabetes, accident, cancer, and heart disease … combined. Planned Parenthood is responsible for many of those abortions.

In August 2015, a group of black pastors asked for the removal of Sanger’s bust from the museum.  Their request was rejected and the bust of Planned Parenthood’s founder remains on display today. Asked about the continued presence of the bust at the museum, Linda St. Thomas, director of public affairs for the Smithsonian, said, “The Sanger statue has been there for many years.”

The founder of planned Parenthood by today’s standards would be considered the worst form of racist.  She was a supporter of eugenics. Eugenics supporters pushed middle and upper-class  whites to have large families. In some circles eugenicists went as far as declaring birth control selfish and a form of "racial suicide." The same people believed that blacks and other minorities should not reproduce.

Sanger wrote: "I consider that the world, and almost our civilization for the next 25 years, is going to depend on a simple, cheap, safe, contraceptive to be used in poverty stricken slums, jungles and among the most ignorant people." While Margaret Sanger was being lauded for her role in the creation of the Pill in the 1960s, many in the African American community were aware of her association with eugenics. Suspicious of her intentions to begin with, some were appalled by her ongoing support of the population control movement. At the time white-dominated organizations seemed to push the pill in black communities.

Yet “Black Lives Matter is silent on Sanger.  Removal of tributes to her or condemnations of her do not fit their real agenda, destruction of the foundation of our democracy.  

How Socialism Has Taken Root - Failure of Education

Socialism has gained traction in  this country because of ignorance. Our young people, who did not witness firsthand what the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and its Eastern European client states were like,  have not been taught about it accurately.  Most don’t understand that socialism means giving power to a central government which in the many examples throughout history used that power to destroy liberty. They have been led to believe by left wing educators and politicians like Bernie Sanders that capitalism is pure evil and that socialism leads to a utopia with free college and healthcare for all.  

Millennials, born between 1981 and 1996, a Pew Research study found have on the whole a very poor knowledge of history.  Another study found that many  teenagers don’t know what the American Revolution was all about.  Moreover,  instead of learning that America has been the greatest force for freedom in the history of the planet that has enabled unparalleled wealth for its citizens, our young people have been taught a progressive propaganda imbuing guilt over America's shortcomings.  They have been given textbooks that focus  on the failings of our founding and road to prosperity placing emphasis on the bad treatment of  indigenous people, the condoning of slavery and  imperialism. 

Socialism can take root only where there is ignorance of its failures and atrocities in the past. It can flourish when it is falsely glorified and when a nation’s democratic history is undermined by exaggerations of its missteps instead of a truthful teaching of its successes.  Learning accurate history is essential for a free society.  We have failed to ascertain that are children are  being taught about the greatness of our county and how it has provided them with more freedom and opportunity than any other people have experienced. 

Our  hope has to be that as our large millennial population move into their middle years they will learn through experience how well a free society works for them.   There is some evidence of that already. But that hope can  be destroyed if we allow the extreme left wing to get total control of the reins of our government. Then all is lost.  

Remember and Treasure Our Freedom This Fourth

 

This Fourth of July let’s all remember that we are one nation under God indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Let’s remember that we don’t memorialize Thomas Jefferson as a slaveholder we memorialize him as author of our declaration of Independence and as a symbol as our declaration as a free people.  He wrote these words “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”  Yes, at that time not all were included under this umbrella but in time the framework Jefferson and other founders set up gave that freedom to all of us.  Freedom that allows us to speak our minds. Freedom that allows people to protest peacefully.  

Many men and women who did incredible things to advance freedom (led wars against tyranny, led movements to advance freedom) had  stains, none were perfect but they managed in their imperfection to lead the world to a better place and that is why we honor them. 

Tearing down and destroying memorials desecrates our basic beliefs and endangers us a a freedom-loving civilization.  We may not be a perfect union but we’re the best the world has ever experienced. Let’s not let anyone destroy that.

Black Lives Matter - Follow the Money

Backhoe Chronicles... Peter Feaman

Ever since the murder of George Floyd, donations to Black Lives Matter have surged in an emotional response to that horrible event...

But does the average donor truly understand where the money is going and what they stand for?

People need to know where their hard-earned dollars are being spent.

Here is an excerpt from the Black Lives Matter Mission Statement: 

"We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable."

Did you get that? The break-up of the nuclear family, the foundation of western civilization for a thousand years.

It continues...

"We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise)."
Nuff said on that.

Now let's follow the money:

BlackLivesMatter.com uses the platform ActBlue to process donations. ActBlue is popular among Democrat politicians and progressive nonprofits which has the ability to partner with Democrat candidates to share revenue.

BLM has denied that their donations go to Democrat candidates, so let's look a little further...

The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation– is actually “fiscally financed” through an international non-profit referred to as THOUSAND CURRENTS.

Thousand Currents is all about change. Their site highlights their "Theory of Change." It clearly articulates the short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes "that we and our partners work toward, using four distinct categories:

Community Self-Determination
Organizational Resilience
Global Solidarity
Social Justice Giving"

Those are all buzzwords.
Let's unpack those euphemisms:

Community Self-Determination-abolition of national sovereignty and a descent into tribalism---which is why Trump's mantra of "Make America Great Again" drives them crazy.

Organizational Resilience- maintaining their activism despite losing elections

Global Solidarity-Globalism and a one-world government--- which again shows why Trump's "America First" platform also drives them crazy.

Social Justice Giving---this is another way of stating the mantra of Karl Marx, the original socialist: "From everybody according to their ability,... to everybody according to their need!"

Want more?

As Thousand Currents, "our brand honors the transformational changes in food sovereignty, alternative economies, and climate justice that are upon us – led by women, youth, and Indigenous Peoples in the Global South!"

WAKE UP AMERICA! 

The time of our demise draws nigh!

Get involved, get active, get engaged. The survival of The Big American Ranch depends on you!

Sheepdogs arise!
