Over the weekend, I heard audio of the much-touted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez proving herself to be a liar where her self-description is concerned. She has pretended to be a daring, innovative pioneer of "economic justice;" but there was NOT ONE THING in the speech I heard which was EVEN SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT from the uniform script which totalitarian leftists have been reciting for most of my lifetime. And I was around in the hippie era.
Ocasio-Cortez "daringly" stated that "a modern, moral country" should not have anyone "too poor to live." Absolutely standard rhetoric for Democrats. What, am I so heartless and greedy that I don't care about the poor? No, I am not heartless or greedy; I'm just honest, which is what the Democratic Party really hates. Because I know that their script, the script Ms. Ocasio-Cortez was reciting by rote, is designed TO LIE BY OMISSION.
By the over-simplification of their speeches about "equality" and "compassion," leftists count on producing AN UNEXAMINED EMOTIONAL RESPONSE in their audience. Piling on the drama about wanting to redistribute wealth, without explaining HOW TO CREATE the wealth which they propose to redistribute, hucksters like Ms. Ocasio-Cortez insulate theselves from all objective examination. If persons who live on Planet Earth raise questions of substance, like how America can maintain an industrial base if the most productive people are punished with confiscation for the crime of being successful. Ocasio-Cortez and her ilk don't have to reply with any facts. They can just wave their arms in the air and wail, "You want poor children to starve to death!"
They can't fool me, because I have helped poor children OUT OF MY OWN POCKET, not by demanding that someone else's money be stolen, But after decades of pop culture insisting that only emotion matters, a lot of other Americans HAVE been suckered.
No American citizen under the age of forty has ever lived in an America which WASN'T inundated with empty Marxist rhetoric to the effect of "Just give everything to everybody!" This atmosphere enables grifters like Ms. Ocasio-Cortez to promise us a magic beanstalk, which will take us to the capitalistic giant's castle so we can plunder it. And they have gone for decades without being required to answer hard questions about why Marxism NEVER WORKS.
That's why Democrats are so foaming-at-the-mouth furious now: because now their emotion-manipulating lies ARE being challenged.
