COLUMN OF THE WEEK
Why Are Republicans and Democrats So Divided Over the
Coronavirus?
Wayne Allyn Root 3/29
Obviously,
we are a very badly divided nation: so divided we agree on virtually nothing;
so divided we can't even talk to one another anymore; so divided one side
doesn't believe in anything the other side says; so divided California, New
York and Illinois might as well be on a different planet than Texas.
We
can't even agree on how to respond to the novel coronavirus, and when to get
back to business. Check out the latest Rasmussen poll. Sixty-one percent of
Republicans believe America will rise from the dead by Easter. Count me among
them. But only 41% of all likely voters somewhat believe the USA can get back
to work by Easter. Among Democrats, the number must be in the teens.
In
the past few days, President Donald Trump made it abundantly clear that
Americans need to get back to work. I have said repeatedly on my
nationally syndicated radio show: "The business of America is business.
It's time to get back to work because the deadly virus is temporary, but the
economic disaster we're causing could last a lifetime and prove far more deadly
in the long run."
Many
conservatives such as myself have also pointed out that the mortality rates of
the coronavirus have been greatly exaggerated. On Thursday, Dr. Deborah Birx,
"America's Doctor," said the same thing in a press conference: There
will not be millions dead in the USA. The math doesn't add up. She reported how
computer models predicting 500,000 dead in the U.K. have been downgraded to
20,000. She reported how the terrible death count in Italy just doesn't add up
to millions of Americans dead, not even close.
President
Trump and Republican businessmen like me remain steadfast and optimistic that
we can start bringing this terrible pandemic to a close and be back to business
(or at least a limited business rollout) by Easter. It's not because we don't
take this pandemic seriously but because we believe in our hearts that we can't
allow the U.S. economy to die. We can't allow another Great Depression. We
can't honor the sick or dying by losing our job, income and life savings.
Someone
has to mind the store, keep the economy going, pay the bills and pay the taxes
so that after we win this war -- and we will win -- there is something for the
older, the weak and the vulnerable to come back to. We believe in our hearts
and souls there is a way to restart this economy and to do it carefully,
reasonably and responsibly while protecting the oldest, weakest and most
vulnerable. Meanwhile, Democratic politicians and liberal Hollywood activists
scream about millions dying and about keeping the nation locked down for
months. And they call Trump and Republicans all kinds of terrible names.
What
accounts for this difference? I believe I've figured it out. It's all about
personality. Most every Republican I know is positive, outgoing and relentless,
won't take no for an answer and has can-do spirit. That's why so many
Republicans are successful in the business world. That's why we're proud to
create the jobs and pay the taxes. We are the workers, makers and producers of
America. We turn lemons into lemonade. We see the glass as half full, not half
empty. We love working. We see it as our American way of life. We desperately
want and need to get back to work.
Democrats
are the polar opposite. They are cynical, negative and always finding fault with
America, capitalism and business. That's why conservative talk radio is so
successful whereas there is virtually no liberal talk radio. It's just too
negative, too dark, too depressing. Liberals are always complaining, offering
no solutions other than bigger government. That explains the differences in how
we see the coronavirus. Republicans have everything to lose if they don't get
back to work. We see our business, career, job as our calling in life, our
baby. It is who we are. Taking that away from us is like death.
Democrats
are made up of groups who don't see anything to gain by rushing back to work.
Some of them didn't work before this crisis. Some are protected by union
contracts and union pensions. Some work for the government -- and they have
jobs for life. Some have lived on a welfare check for much of their life. Some
want to be paid bigger checks for being unemployed than for working. In the
end, they feel they can stay home, take no risk and have the government pay
them.
It's
a completely different mindset. Democrats depend on government. Republicans
depend on God, prayer, self-reliance and personal responsibility. Our lives are
wrapped up in our work. We're risk-takers. We must get back to work or risk
losing everything we've worked our whole lives to build. It's what makes us who
we are.
Yes,
we're a divided nation. It's like we're from different planets. I'm proud to be
from the planet where the glass is always half full, where America, with the
greatest health care system in the world and the strongest economy in the
world, will always prove victorious. Yes, it's true that "the
business of America is business." Let the people who want to get back to
it get back to it.
Limbaugh: “What are
we doing? We have purposely shut down capitalism. We’ve shut down the largest
economy in the world. We’ve shut down the economy the world needs. The biggest
roaring economy the country has ever seen, we’ve shut it down. It took three
years, only three years to build this economy up from the tepid state the Obama
administration left it in, and now we’re right back there. Do you realize it’s
just taken two months to take this economy back to where we were in December of
2016?.... You know, 1% growth; in era of decline; America’s best days are
behind with us. That was the Obama administration message, because they were
steering America into this globalist world order where the United States had to
be cut down to size in order for the globalism to work. And Trump comes along,
Make America Great Again, saying to hell with all of that. And now we just shut
it down. We just turned it off, and we did it on purpose.”

PROGRESSIVE WATCH
“Another
Pandemic Known as Social Justice” The National Association of Scholars
(NAS) has produced a report titled "Social Justice Education in
America." It
defines, describes, and delineates many of the destructive and deceptive ideas
behind the innocent-sounding social justice programs that have mushroomed in
American institutions of higher learning.
In the past five years, some streets in Berkeley, Oakland,
San Francisco, and Seattle have started to resemble Latin American favelas,
or shantytowns, with thousands sleeping in tents, shacks, and packing crates. One
United Nations official recently compared West Coast encampments to the slums
of New Delhi……the progressive-socialist coalition shows no sign of having
second thoughts. In Seattle, Socialist Alternative councilwoman Kshama Sawant
recently sponsored an ordinance, since passed, to create 40 sanctioned
encampments throughout the city.
