Taking the Fight to the Left
Democrats don’t help minorities, they hurt them.

Ten years ago, Front Page Magazine writer Danusha Goska went to heckle David Horowitz.

Then he said something about the minority cities of New Jersey that changed her whole way of thinking. “He pointed out that Camden, Paterson, and Newark had decades of Democratic leadership.”

“That one stray comment from David Horowitz, a man I regarded as the enemy, sparked the slow but steady realization that my ideals, the ideals I had lived by all my life, were poisoning my students and Paterson, my city,” she writes.

On Fox News Sunday, Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina echoed the case that David Horowitz has been making for decades.

Here is what is undeniable, women have been hurt under this administration policies, the extreme poverty rate among women is the highest ever record. The poverty rate among women, 16.1% is the highest in 20 years. Women have been harmed by this administration’s polices just as African Americans have, just as the poor have been.

“Progressive polices are bad for the people they have claimed to help. That is true of women as well as men," she said.

This is the exact message that David Horowitz has been urging Republicans to embrace over the years by making the case that Democrats hurt the very people they claim to champion.

This is what he forcefully advocated in his book, “Take No Prisoners: The Battle Plan for Defeating the Left.”

Year after year and election after election, the Democrats’ campaign themes are monotonously the same… Republicans wage wars on women, on minorities, and on the vulnerable. They defend the rich and don’t care about the poor. Their policies inflict pain on working families to benefit the wealthy few.

Then he noted that, “Year after year, the Democrats repeat these attacks, and year after year, Republicans fail to come up with effective responses.”

David Horowitz’s response to this litany of false charges is to turn them around on the Democrats. It’s this argument from Take No Prisoners that Fiorina has picked up on.

“Democrats present themselves as champions of the helpless and the vulnerable,” David Horowitz wrote.

“Expose their empty promises and hypocrisy. Subvert their message by focusing on their betrayal of the very people they pretend to support. In attacking Democrats as enemies of minorities and the poor,” he urged Republicans.

Last year, David Horowitz warned Republicans that campaigning on the high road again would be a disaster. “Who is going to listen to your story when your opponents are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to portray you as a woman-hater, a racist, and a champion of the selfish rich?”

“It’s time for Republicans to stop being so polite. They need to fight fire with fire. They need to call out Democrats who are responsible for racial injustice in our inner cities and for the hopeless futures that face the children trapped there,” he urged.

In the first year of Obama’s reign, David Horowitz had written that, “Conservatives can also turn the left’s oppression myth around, and aim its guns at them. In fact, using the romance of the underdog against the left is the best way to neutralize their attack.”

“The way to do it is to recognize that the most powerful forces obstructing opportunity for poor and minority Americans, the most powerful forces oppressing them, are progressives, the Democratic Party, and their political creation—the welfare state.”

...

"The way for Republicans to show they care about minorities is to defend them against their oppressors and exploiters, which in every major inner city in America without exception are Democrats. Democrats run the welfare and public education systems; they have created the policies that ruin the lives of the recipients of their handouts. It’s time that Republicans started to hold Democrats to account; to put them on the defensive and take away the moral high ground, which they now occupy illegitimately," David Horowitz wrote.

Ten years ago, David Horowitz helped change the politics of a woman who had been a leftist all her life by invoking these simple facts in a single forum. Imagine how many minds a Republican candidate could change by taking his “no prisoners” approach and making the case against the left to the entire country.

Yeah, let's blind the ignorant with the left v. right fight, so they won't question why their politicians on both sides are piss poor politicians who do nothing for the people, but everything for those with a shed load of cash they're willing to throw at the same politicians.

Taking the Fight to the Left

Conservatives are a funny lot.

If you are to believe them, any kind of poverty, regardless of when it happens, is the fault of the Democrats in general or one Democrat in particular. So, the housing crisis of 2007 and 2008 is the fault of....Jimmy Carter.

Likewise, any economic success is the result of a Republican administration. So, again, according to conservatives, the economic boom of the mid to late 1990s should be credited to...Ronald Reagan.

The deficits under Reagan? Well, that's the fault of a Democratic Congress, of course.

And the deficits under the current Republican Congress? Well, that's the fault of Obama, naturally.

Now, if conservatives could only find a way to blame Obama for the Vietnam War, they'd be in a state of euphoria.

One needn't look any further than the 14th century style Abortion Laws passed by John Kasich and endorsed by Marco Rubio to understand that the GOP war on women shows no sign of waning.

Rubio: I am pro-life. As a state legislator, I supported various pieces of pro-life legislation that, among other things, would require doctors to perform ultrasounds before performing abortions and another bill that would ban the use of taxpayer dollars to fund stem cell research.

Kasich:
Pro-life except rape & incest; supports litmus test
[Kasich is] pro-life except in cases of rape, incest or when the life of the mother is in danger. He wouldn’t pick a pro-choice running mate or nominate pro-choice judges. He sees no point in discussing the abortion issue either. It doesn’t serve any purpose, he said. He can’t change his principles. Unlike other pro-lifers whose abortion position also bespeaks a divisive judgmental look at all citizens, [Kasich’s spokesman said], “you’ll never see him pounding on a podium screaming divisive rhetoric.”

No need to listen any further to either of these gentlemen.

Approximately half of the innocent victims of abortion are girls, who, if allowed to live, would have grown up to become women.

How odd it is that those who defend the “right” to slaughter these precious girls in cold blood, think that they are in any position to accuse those of us who wish these girls to be allowed to live, of waging a “war on women”.

"Taking the Fight to the Left"

This fails as a straw man fallacy.

Greenfield and Horowitz contrive lies concerning democrats in an effort misrepresent their position on the issues addressed, then attack the lies they contrived.

Through both the political and judicial process democrats have fought for the rights and protected liberties of all Americans, pursuing policies that comport with the Constitution and its case law, beneficial to the American people as a whole, often defending the rights of Americans against republicans and conservatives seeking to violate citizens' civil rights by increasing the size and authority of government at the expense of individual liberty.

Indeed, republicans and conservatives have in fact been consistently hostile to the privacy rights of women, the equal protection rights of gay and transgender Americans, and the voting rights of minorities.

Consequently, the oppressive tendencies of most conservatives, their propensity to be hostile to change, diversity, and expressions of individual liberty is in no way a 'myth,' but a fact, a fact demonstrated to be true time and again by conservatives and their errant, wrongheaded positions on the issues.

You raise a valid point. The courts have ensured that women have the right to privacy where this is concerned. The added ultra sounds and other nusience (sp?) measures passed such as the # of parking spots in the parking lot and whether two gurnies can pass each other in the hallways are the expressed desire of the GOP to punish women for having sex and not wanting to have the family that is the result.

It has nothing to do with women's health or anything else.

The #2 Delegate Recepient Rick Santorum:

"One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is I think the dangers of contraception in this country....Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that's okay, contraception is okay. It's not okay. It's a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be." —Rick Santorum, interview with CaffeinatedThoughts.com (October 2011)

David Horowitz: 'Traitor' Obama Letting Terrorists Bring Nukes Over Southern Border
SUBMITTED BY:Miranda Blue, Tuesday 04/21/2015, 11:25am
Conservative activist David Horowitz told Florida talk radio host Joyce Kaufman on Friday that President Obama’s “heart is with the enemy,” which is why he is allowing terrorists to “walk across” the southern border carrying nuclear weapons.

David Horowitz and Jacob Laksin's bookThe New Leviathanpromises "thoroughly researched and amply documented" evidence proving how progressive foundations and organizations are destroying America's future. In reality, Horowitz and Laksin only add more proof that conservative smear artists traffic in lazy falsehoods and easily disproved assertions. Here are ten of them.

10 Errors, Distortions, And Falsehoods In David Horowitz'sThe New Leviathan

...

It is that core philosophy extolling the urge to mold society that still animates progressives today—a mind-set that produces the shutdown of debate and growing intolerance that we are witnessing in today's America. Such thinking on the left also is behind the rationales for indulging President Obama in his anti-Constitutional use of executive power. If you want substantiation for what I'm saying, read Jonah Goldberg's 2008 book "Liberal Fascism," an erudite and closely argued exposition of American progressivism and its subsequent effects on liberalism. The title is all too accurate.

Here, I want to make a simple point about millions of people—like my liberal-minded dinner companions—who regularly vote Democratic and who are caught between a rock and a hard place.

Along with its intellectual legacy, the Progressive Era had a political legacy that corresponds to the liberalism of these millions of Democrats. They think that an activist federal government is a force for good, approve of the growing welfare state and hate the idea of publicly agreeing with a Republican about anything. But they also don't like the idea of shouting down anyone who disagrees with them.

...

The Trouble Isn't Liberals. It's Progressives.

Funny when you post about progressive liberals it's like a moth to flame or this...
