Hate is Not Welcome Here

“Hate is Not Welcome Here” is one of the latest polarizing campaign slogans of the progressive Left. This is the progressive response to the Trump presidency which they feel is founded on hate and supports White Supremacy and misogyny. For instance, since Trump wants to build a wall and deport illegal aliens he therefore must hate Hispanics and immigrants. Sure, much of what Trump says makes little sense, but there are two sides to every debate. Liberals cannot understand why conservatives back Trump’s “hateful” immigration stance and therefore must be complicit in the hate towards minorities. Progressives cannot put race aside and see that being an illegal alien is against the law; illegal aliens cost the taxpayers billions each year while more Americans sink into poverty and homelessness; some illegal aliens take jobs from American citizens; illegal aliens take opportunities away from persons wanting to legally immigrate to the United State; some illegal aliens are violent criminals supporting drug cartels; and securing our borders is essential to thwart both the ever-increasing rise of terrorism and the illegal drug market in the United States. The primary role of the government is to protect the rights of its citizens by promoting their health and safety. Hence, the government has a duty to protect our borders from both illegal aliens and criminal influence. This has nothing to do about racism. If illegal aliens (white Canadians) were coming from Canada, then the government would have a responsibility to halt that activity. I can certainly put myself in the shoes of an illegal immigrants solely trying to help their family since I understand being poor. I do empathize, but if the law allowed one exception then you must allow an infinite number of exemptions or that is discrimination. That is right, allowing illegal immigration is discriminatory to other immigrants who want to come here lawfully. But do progressives understand the pain of individuals losing jobs or losing loved ones to crimes or drugs caused by illegal immigration? The problem with progressives is that they will never stand in the shoes of others that are suffering unless it fits their ideology.

Progressivism was founded on evil and hate (slavery, segregation, eugenics, miscegenation laws, abortion, and sterilization to name a few things). Nazis used the American progressive platform as a model for its movement. Revered progressives were bigots: Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Hugo Black (Member of the KKK), Margaret Sanger, and Louis Brandies to name a few. The Nazis used Oliver Wendell Holmes’s Buck v. Bell (1927) decision for their defense at the Nuremburg trials for WWII war crimes. Was FDR’s internment policy of Asian Americans (upheld by the Court and Black delivered the majority opinion) really that much different than Nazi interment camps? Margaret Sanger founded Planned Parenthood on a vision of a superior White race similar to the Nazis plan to cleanse the world of defective persons. Sanger would be proud of the progress that has been made in abortion rights, especially since abortion is being used predominately by African-American and to eliminate other defectives such as downs syndrome persons. This was Sanger vision of abortion: to be used to eliminate defective persons and cleanse America of ethnic races. Downs syndrome persons can live fairly normal lives so how is eliminating persons based on mental capacity any different or less discriminatory than China family’s propensity to abort female babies? It is not, they are both hate and evil. After all, we would not tolerate any one discriminating against these persons after they are born.

Since Trump has become president he has been the target of fake news stories, constant investigation, illegal surveillance, and a host of other types of activities that no president has ever had to face. Sure, Trump can be his own worst enemy, but that does not mean people should stoop to his vindictive level. Moreover, progressive hate groups such as Antifa are holding violent protests. Progressive criminals have attacked GOP Congress and Senate members. A Democrat killed nearly 60 persons at a conservative country music concert in Las Vegas. The amount of hate speech coming from progressive public officials has been extremely alarming calling for the death of the President, assault of the President, impeachment without a crime, and the wishing of ill will on anyone conservative. I see progressives using the same tactics that they are charging our President as being guilty of initiating. No, the only hate I am seeing in the age of Donald Trump is clearly coming from progressives. If none of this is bad enough, the most troubling Trump news story was the one where he was caught on tape talking about sexually attacking women. But since that has happened, dozens of liberal media and Hollywood moguls have fallen for what appears to be even more serious attacks against women. Trump’s words were bad, but these progressive hypocrite’s actions have been much worse.

I am not saying conservatives are not guilty of hate including defiling women. Hate is something that knows no political ideology. But most of the hate stories issued by media outlets against conservatives since the Trump election have been proven to be false. It makes no sense for Trump supporters to commit the acts of hate that have been reported. Maybe if Trump lost then maybe some of these stories would be believable, but increased acts of racism triggered by a victory makes absolutely no sense. For instance, hate and violence by far right was more common after Obama victories (Dylan Roof and the Gabby Giffords shooting to name a few). My point is that the slogan “Hate is Not Welcome Here” has become an oxymoron for progressives. They seem to welcome hate with open arms (i.e. Al Franken, Bill Clinton, and Jon Conyers) so long as the hater is on their side of the political spectrum. I also have issue with slogans that should be a truism. After all, why would anyone have to politicize the fact that “hate is not welcome” in a political party if it does not exist? My intuition tells me if a person advertises that they are against hate, then they are at least spiteful and vindictive individuals with absolutely no self-awareness. I see a lot signs denying hateful behavior, but I also see more hate and anger than ever before, and right now most of it is coming from progressives. Liberals and progressives have become and or have always been everything they claim to hate.
