Commentary: The Continued Dangers of the Insane Left—The Work to Restore the Integrity of the Constitution Is Not Finished

The nomination of the radical leftist Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York City—arguably the capital of global capitalism—is a flashing beacon of the Left’s psychosocial disorder which became pronounced following the results of the 2024 elections, if not well before then.

Mamdani—a Shiite moslem—is a self-confessed socialist, and an objectively antisemitic hater of Israel, who wants to “globalize the intifada,”—the terminology denoting Palestinian Arab extremism, terrorism, and murder.

This from frontpagemag.com.

As such, of course Mamdani is being “showered with fan-boy attention” from the propaganda media, who are overworking the cliché “charismatic.” His nomination is a milestone in the Left’s long hijacking of the communist/globalist crime syndicate (democrat party), and if he wins, the results will be the equivalent of letting the lunatics run the asylum.

A brief, partial review of the democrat political party’s transformation into the communist/globalist crime syndicate:

– Starting in the Sixties the democrat party began steadily moving further to the left. That shift was aided by the earlier political encroachment of progressivism by one of its most consequential theorists, Woodrow Wilson,

– During the following decades, democrat presidents from FDR to Barack (Kenya) Obama continued to transform the Constitutional order and its unalienable rights and divided and balanced powers, into the ‘living Constitution’ to serve the welfare state,

– Their aim has been and remains the top-down, intrusive control of the states and citizens through unelected, unaccountable federal agencies, and

– Equally troubling has been the Republican lawmakers and administrations who to some degree adopt and champion some of progressive [d]emocrats’ welfare state programs and other policies that have weakened our unalienable rights and individual freedoms.

Following Donald Trump’s 2024 victory, in just six months We the People have enjoyed the most aggressive efforts to date to restore Constitutional order and “restrain the federal behemoth’s” ever-encroaching power.

Fortunately, under Trump, these ‘woke’ shibboleths

are being dismantled and defunded. 

Next to be addressed are the unscientific ideas brought about with the purpose of diminishing the American culture by dividing We the People and setting us at odds with one another as well as bringing all of western civilization to its knees:

– transgenderism, which claims ‘gender’ is fluid and limitless and peddles heinous sex-change treatments that replace biological sex with whatever whims or wishes of troubled young people,

– ‘clean energy’ mandates and subsidies pushing windmills and solar panels, intermittent energy sources that still require fossil fuels to generate energy when there’s no wind or sun, or recharging stations for EVs are unavailable, and

– feckless assaults on the energy source that created the West and its dominating power [with such insanity as] ‘net-zero’ carbon policies.

To paraphrase Cicero:

There is nothing so absurd that

a university-trained “wokist” will not try.

Last but certainly not least of the insane creations of the Left designed to bring America to its knees is identity politics.

This un-Marxist addition to the left’s breviary is a political construct created by the Civil Rights Act and the Great Society programs that followed.

A major goal pushed by lobbyists, race-mongers, and activists of ethnic and other special-interest factions, was to secure for their clients as much government funds and special treatment as they could. The “foundational criterion for determining which group should take priority” was its history of oppression based on racial exclusion and other prejudice.

This focus led to set asides for ‘protected classes’—eventually defined by race, ethnicity, sex, age, disability, and sexual preferences—when awarding government contracts and jobs, and admission and hiring in colleges and universities.

This construct was given the name “affirmative action” and was blatantly contrary to the Civil Rights Act and the Constitution, however, the Left ran with it as long and far as they could. Its purpose, of course, was to weaken the critical principle of merit and further diminish the American culture. In his first term President Trump created the conditions to end race-based discrimination by appointing three Constitutionalist Supreme Court Justices, who in 2023 finally put an end to these discriminatory protocols.

But the assault on merit continued under the “woke” guise of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies that achieved the same end of mandating that certain “protected classes” must take precedence over “straight white males.” Now, in his second term, President Trump is dismantling DEI programs, demonstrating once again “the woke left’s illiberal un-Constitutional ideologies and policies can be defeated.”

These are just a few examples of the “woke” left’s dangerous policies that have made economic leftists, as destructive as they have been for over a century under progressive democrat control, even more dangerous, spreading their maligned, unscientific, tyrannical influence into every dimension of our nation, and magnifying the intrusive powers of the federal government and its agencies. President Trump now is reining that ALL in.

Presently, and thankfully, the Left is in disarray. The more centrist nuts are trying to marginalize the “woke left buffoons” like AOC and Mamdani, and “elderly fellow-travelers like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren” who insist on returning to the failed policies of yesteryear. And all these positions are glaringly contrary to the will of the electorate as demonstrated last November

The job of restoring the integrity of the Constitution and of our rights and freedoms, then, is not finished. We the People must continue fighting to bring the job to a positive conclusion, understanding, too, as long as there is liberalism, the fight will never end. And we can successfully continue this work only as long as Republican Constitutionalists stay in power and allow the work of Conservatism to prevail.

God speed to the Trump-Vance team.
