COLUMN(S) OF THE WEEK
Paul Mirengoff 4/8
John Fonte has written an excellent article called “End Nationalism, End America.” For many on the left, that’s the point. They may dislike nationalism, but what they really can’t stand is America. Their target isn’t the nation state; it’s our nation state. That’s why they want to cede as much of our sovereignty as they can get away with to international bodies.
Fonte writes: “If progressive liberal esteem for the democratic nation-state is low, the mainstream Left’s depiction of the American nation’s particular culture, people, institutions, and mores is even more negative.”
For more than 50 years, Americans have been educated by liberals who have told them that they are too racist, sexist, xenophobic, individualistic; too attached to their guns, religion, violence, and a glorified version of their history. Last year, progressivism’s discontent with American society exploded. The steady promotion of multiculturalism, diversity, inclusion, and intersectionality has now morphed into a militant denunciation of the entire American project as “systemically racist,” calling for revolutionary “anti-racist” action.
The flagship of American liberalism is the New York Times. Its 1619 Project is the spearhead of an “anti-racist” ideology which seeks to reshape the American regime. Leading educational institutions, from Princeton University to the American Association of School Administrators, the National Association of Secondary School Principals, the National Council of Teachers of English, and myriad others, have joined the “anti-racist” crusade.
Left-liberals don’t just dislike American culture, people, institutions, and mores. They dislike our Constitution. Fonte points to a survey finding that 79 percent of Americans who describe themselves as “very liberal” (which comprised 40 percent of all liberals) and 70 percent of the just plain liberals favored replacing our Constitution. Ceding sovereignty to international bodies is a way to negate the Constitution.
Fonte notes that political thinkers from Plato and Aristotle to Montesquieu and the American Founders have explained that an emotional attachment to one’s political community is necessary for its survival. But that presents no problem to those on the left who don’t want our political community to survive. And that’s the sentiment of a great many American leftists. We can infer this from the same survey mentioned above. It found that 41 percent of very liberals and 33 percent of plain liberals would like to see our country renamed.
Ditch our nation’s Constitution and its name, and in a very real sense, you have ended America.
The internationalism of left-liberals is therefore a means to an end — the end of America. Fonte concludes: “Since leftists see Americans as too racist, sexist, and war-like, they naturally conclude that subordinating American power to global authority would help mitigate this problem. Fortuitously for the Left, this means power would reside with people like themselves: international lawyers, NGO advocates, and deracinated “global citizens.” At home, as Christopher Caldwell described in The Age of Entitlement, power would shift from elected officials to administrators and judges, because these experts are necessary to enforce equal outcomes for “oppressed” racial and gender groups.”
This utopian dream of “substantive” equality for groups, of course, will never be achieved in a free society. Instead the Left’s agenda, if successfully implemented, would mean less freedom and less self-government—it would mean an overall move from republicanism (i.e., American constitutional democracy) towards administrative-judicial oligarchy. That is to say, if given free reign, this new leftism will ironically produce less true liberalism, and less democracy.
Diversity Comes to the Cockpit: “I have no doubt that any qualified pilot can fly from point A to point B and land an airplane. However, the danger in diversity thinking becomes apparent when the job differs from the routine. In 1983, Captain Bob Pearson had the unfortunate experience of being the command pilot of a Boeing 767 that experienced total engine failure. He did something that the Boeing engineers said was impossible -- he glided the plane, without power, to a landing with no injuries…..It turns out Captain Pearson’s qualifications exceeded those required of airline pilots. He was also a highly experienced glider pilot. In this case, was having the “best” somewhat better?”

“Crimes of the Educators: How Utopians Are Using Government Schools to Destroy America's Children” by Blumenfeld and Newman. "This chilling exposé reveals that from John Dewey to Bill Gates the progressive utopians continue their long march through our nation’s K-12 public schools. Their end goal? A dumbed-down America where phonics, patriotism, and even the Almighty take a back seat to creating a collectivist society of passive proletariats."

“Taboo: 10 Facts You Can't Talk About” by Wilfred Reilley “Finally, a Black intellectual has come along to challenge leftist dogma and intellectual dishonesty. Nothing is off-limits in this remarkably honest dissertation. He is a no-nonsense, tough but fair-minded scholar…. We need more Will Reillys in the country.”

“Human-gender-species-planetary-reassignment surgery…..There is a name for this kind of illness. It’s called Dysphoria, and we’ve known about it for a long time. It has only in the last decade, however, become politically incorrect to believe in gender dysphoria. Apparently, all things human can go dysphoric, except gender. You can, in other words, be dysphoric in the belief that you are a cat when you are a clearly in a human body, yet not about the belief that you are a woman when you are clearly in a male body.”

COVID
Faulty Covid death numbers explained: deaths through August 23rd of 2020 were higher by over 16 times as compared to the traditional definition. If the reporting of these deaths followed the CDC guidebook from 2003, the number of Covid deaths would have been 9,684. However, utilizing this new reporting and classification method that exclusively applied to Covid-19, the number of deaths is 161,392.

ARTICLES
Widburg: “….the Georgia Legislature looked at the inefficiencies of its elections and decided that the state could do better. Therefore, it passed a bill expanding voting hours, increasing the number of pre-election days on which people can vote, and creating more drop box locations. It also did away with signature analysis as a means for verifying absentee ballot requests, a method that can be arbitrary and capricious, and, instead, asked for requesters to submit some common form of identification. It was this last request that drove leftists insane. If voters have to submit identification, that lessens the opportunities for election fraud. Clearly, the ability to commit fraud is an important part of the Democrat strategy for winning elections.”
