You can infer much about a philosophy by what it celebrates. For example, the “religion of peace” has a holy day known as Ashura. The main attraction? The men cut or whip themselves into a bloody mess and parade through the streets. What a perfect fit, a blood orgy as praise for God.
In the United States, we have our own celebratory paradoxes. Consider what Democrats celebrate. Their highest life station is to be a victim. Not a victim of something random, but a willful actor whose bad decisions lead to some calamity. And the best victims have race, gender, and/or sexual orientation as essential story elements. Let’s see if we can imagine the perfect Democrat victim.
Dateline: Philadelphia Compost
Dontavius M’Quando (nee Joe Brown, hereafter DMQ), was born into a poor Philadelphia family led by a 4th generation single welfare mother. He did poorly in school, fell in with the wrong crowd, dropped out before completing high school, sold drugs, and joined a gang. As part of his gang initiation he killed a wealthy white family; a mother, father, and their two children. They were gunned down as they waited near central Philadelphia’s St. Peter’s Cathedral for a family friend. They were the wrong color people in the wrong place at the wrong time. As law enforcement swarmed the area DMQ ambushed and killed two black police officers who were interviewing witnesses. DMQ was sentenced to life without possibility of parole, and now wants a taxpayer funded sex change and subsequent reassignment to a women’s prison. The NAACP, GLAD, ACLU, SPLC, and other social justice organizations are fighting the Republican Governor in the courts, demanding that he grant DMQs demand for justice and his need to become his true self. The Governor says that it makes no sense to spend taxpayer money, money taken from working people, for an unrepentant lifer who committed such horrendous crimes. Soros funded billboards have gone up across urban neighborhoods demanding justice for DMQ and various community groups are organizing marches in support. Some are threatening violence if their demands are not met. Many declare DMQ a brave hero, fighting for his rights against an oppressive racist and transphobic state executive.
Now that’s what Democrats call a hero. He kills an innocent family, then kills two cops, and now he wants a free sex change. Let’s unpack this fictional hero’s story from a Democrat’s point of view.
DMQ killed a rich, white, Christian family. That’s a threefer. That’s economic justice because there’s no doubt that their wealth was ill-gotten, won on the backs of the working poor. It is also reparations, because monolithic white wealth is all traceable to slavery. Third, they’re Christian. Together, this family represents everything that the left hates in America today. They should have known better than to flaunt their privilege in a poor, urban, neighborhood.
DMQ failed in a government school with a strong teacher’s union. In fact, his school probably spends twice, maybe 3X, as much per student as compared to a similar school in a state like Florida. But Democrats believe that school exists for the benefit of its government employees, NOT the education of its students. Democrats consider his 100% union staffed school a great success and fight any effort to either change it or offer kids like DMQ a voucher or seat in a charter school.
Criminal Justice Reform is another lefty canard. Translation: incarcerated black men are all victims of a racist criminal justice system and should all be immediately released.
DMQ was born into a minority welfare family, somehow evading the Democrat’s urban network of baby killing clinics. Democrats created the welfare state and they spend every waking moment looking for new ways to grow government dependency, block upward mobility, punish private enterprise, and continue their destruction of the African-American family. African American families used to have fathers. In fact, until about 1950, they married at a higher rate than whites, This could not stand so the KKK wing of the Democrat Party (yes, the KKK were Democrats) devised an evil and resilient scheme to destroy the black family.
He killed two cops, never mind that they were black. In fact, they almost certainly worked for a black police chief, who worked for a black mayor, who is accountable to a black city council, elected by a majority black citizenry. But, the BLM chant “pigs in a blanket, fry ‘em like bacon,” applies to all cops. Cops are all racist regardless of their actual color or the color of the officials who direct them. Uncle Toms sometimes wear blue.
DMQ wants to change his gender. Ding, ding, ding, …. The scoreboard is flashing and ringing up points like a slot machine jackpot. Transgenderism is the left’s new favorite pet toy.
DMQ is a tool to paint the Republican Governor as a white, racist, homophobe. He’s the real bad guy here, the true devil in the story.
By contrast, what do Conservatives, Libertarians, and Republicans celebrate? The answer is short and simple; classic heroism. The same kind of timeless heroism we read about in ancient stories. A bystander who dives into ice cold water to pull someone from a sunken car. A pilot who safely, almost magically, lands a dead airliner in the middle of our biggest city. A soldier who gives his last breath so his brothers in arms can escape an ambush. A doctor who discovers a new life saving treatment. A law enforcement officer who finds and physically removes an armed and dangerous community predator. Our heroes are heroes without regard to identity boxes. They are heroes by their love for a stranger, their earned skills, and willingness to act without regard to their own life or safety. The identity of their beneficiaries doesn’t matter either. All that matters is that they see an opportunity to help, and they act. Democrats would call this kind of heroism privileged, valueless, and borrrrrinnnngggg.
BTW, you say this figment of The Railer’s imagination is far-fetched? On the very day that this post was first drafted, he spots a very similar drama playing out in Idaho. Pedophile Mason Edmo demands that taxpayers fund his $30K genital mutilation surgery. The Ninth Circus Court of Appeal of course agreed with the perv, and SCOTUS’s Elena Kagan, a leftist Obama appointee, denied the Governor’s appeal. Justice Ginsberg’s mates at the ACLU are prominently mentioned, of course. More to come if/when the SCOTUS should reconsider en banc.
Democrats, meet Mason Edmo – your newest, greatest hero.
