On Good Friday, while most Christians were honoring the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross, the White House had other ideas. As has been reported, a declaration was put out by the Biden administration in which the president proclaimed that March 31st, 2024, Easter Sunday, would be "transgender day of visibility."

Naturally, just to rub salt in the wound, the header of the statement included a picture of a bunny instead of any symbolism that could be connected to the most sacred day of the year for Christians. Why would Biden's handlers go out of their way to pretend that some "day of visibility" made up by a mentally ill man 15 years ago holds the same significance as Easter?

Most speculated that it was yet another move by the president to shore up his base. That's possible given he's seen significant slippage among key demographics over the past year. That's largely due to his decision to only partially throw Israel under the bus in its war with Hamas.

I don't think that was the primary motivator, though. I think it was about something much worse. I think this was about humiliation.

Far-left ideology, to which Biden and his cadre of staffers firmly adhere, is not about co-existence or tolerance. At its core is a mission to override and humiliate everything that opposes it. Whether "transgender day of visibility" existed before 2024, which has been the common defense, is irrelevant. The fact that an activist made up a day some years prior is not an excuse for the President of the United States to use the vested power of his office to "hereby proclaim" it on the day Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

As a political measure, such a proclamation could have easily been marked for Monday, citing the importance of Easter. That didn't happen, though, because this wasn't really about politics. It was a power move.

By declaring Easter Sunday to be "transgender day of visibility," the far left showed that it holds such incredible cultural power that it can even dominate Easter, bastardizing it into a celebration of sin. The very thing Christ died to absolve for those who believe turned on its head. No boundaries are being observed anymore. Instead, the boundaries are being crushed into dust, replaced by a faux religion of self that is exemplified prominently by the transgender movement.

Whether Biden personally knew of the proclamation or not (it's possible he didn't because he's clearly not in charge of his own administration) misses the point. There's no doubt of his support for such insanity, and the fact that whoever was behind it holds such sway is disturbing enough.

The end goal here isn't ambiguous. It's not to just promote radicalism. It's to make it preeminent and to raise it above everything that you believe in and hold dear. It's only going to get worse from here. The far left is playing for keeps, and dominance is the point.

Fascism was initiated by Benito Mussolini. Along with Vladimir Lenin he was a darling of the progressives of the early twentieth century. A group of them took trips to the Soviet Union and came gushing about them. I believe they also went to Italy. to progressives they were both pioneers of the movement.

Mussolini had been a socialist. You can look it up.

Okay so I looked it up.

Snip>>>In the 1920s, Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile described their ideology as right-wing in the political essay The Doctrine of Fascism, stating: "We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the 'right,' a fascist century."

And I couldn't find a connection between Mussolini and Lenin but there was between Stalin: Similarities: • Both opposed liberalism; supported powerful government institutions • Gained support in the post-WWI period, directly benefitting from instability and societal unrest caused by the aftermath of the war Fundamental Difference: Mussolini founded an ideology and a movement with himself as the leader; ... (Authoritarianism)

Then there was Hitler who persecuted Jews, Communists, Socialists, Liberals, Intellectuals, homosexuals, and anyone who wasn't part of the Arian Right.

Lastly the characteristic of Fascism and Conservatism are virtually the same:

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

4. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

5. Rampant Sexism The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.

6. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

7. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

8. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

9. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

10. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely or are severely suppressed.

11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

14. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.


As I said, this is about Ideology. Liberalism can lead to Communism. Conservatism WILL lead to Fascism if you don't put the breaks on what you are doing...

In 2008 & 2012 The Communist Party of The United States of America Endorsed Barack H. Obama for president. In 2016, it called the defeat of Donald J. Trump 'crucial.' It seems to be supporting his defeat again.

Why?

Why do White Nationalists and other fascists endorse Trump?

And in case you don't understand why or want to deny it, it's called ideology. Communism is a product of liberalism whereas fascism is a product of conservatism. The difference between us is that Liberals understand that communism is a product of their ideology so know to avoid it. Not so with you conservatives who deny that fascism is an RW ideology and instead try to assign it to liberalism even though when you look at the characteristics of fascism they are identical to characteristics of conservatism.

You can't avoid the worst that your ideology has to offer by trying to pin it on the other guy.

What is worse is that Trump is the one who posted the picture of Biden on Truth Social. Of course, I wouldn't expect you to understand that. It's stunts like that that remind us why he's 'former' president Trump...

Well, turncoats to you is simply integrity to others. That they saw through Trump's lies only shows how morally depleted and gullible his MAGA morons are and nothing more. And 'rats in a garbage dump' is an apt metaphor for the mindless morons that make up Trump followers. That you have trouble rubbing two brain cells together only shows what an addiction to Fox News does to their followers. You are what happens when someone is told what they want to hear instead of the truth.

There was no Trump lie.

Well, his own people said there was no fraud but he continued to repeat the lie anyway. That you believe it doesn't change the fact that the claim of fraud was a lie. Belief in a lie doesn't make it true...

Here's a partial list of those who told Trump there was no fraud and he lost fair and square: His daughter Ivanka Trump, his Attorney General William Barr, Trump campaign data expert Matt Oczkowski, acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, Trump's campaign lawyer Alex Cannon, and Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway.

And this is just a sampling of those who knew there was no fraud and told Trump that he was a sorry-ass loser. Trump knew he lost and the fact that he kept pressing the lie showed that his real intent was to overturn the election even though he was a sorry-ass loser...

I couldn't open your link (I don't subscribe to the WP) but it was from his interview at the Family Research Council so it was the same interview.

Snip>>>Moderator Frank Luntz asked Trump whether he has ever asked God for forgiveness for his actions.

“I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don’t think so,” he said. “I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”

Trump said that while he hasn’t asked God for forgiveness, he does participate in Holy Communion.


I included the Trump quote for you to read. What is your point??? Here is an interview he did on Howard Stern where he calls his daughter "a piece of ass" and admits to committing adultery on his wives...once he got tired of them...

Jesus said whoever is not against us is for us Petey.

You, me and Donald Trump are all sinners.

Donald and I are for Jesus. I already know from your posts you are against God, who Jesus is.

But that can change Petey if you'll just do something as simple as repent.


Look at Donald's behavior. My behavior emulates Jesus's behavior more than Donald's does. Jesus didn't lie, Donald lies all the time. Donald has committed adultery dozens of times and never repented for them. I've never once strayed from my wife. Donald has cheated everyone he's done business with including his employees and all vendors. In the only business, I ever dissolved, I allowed my two business partners to split the remaining assets or cash. We had two apartment complexes--one 52 units, the other 48, and 7 commercial spaces for approx 14,000 sqft. They took the cash and split it and I got all remaining assets. All my vendors have been paid each month and employees remained with me...all salaries are always paid in full.

When I was a Christian I repented each and every time sinned. Donald doesn't think he ever sinned so has never seen the need to repent.

This begs the question; Since Donald's sins are on the same level as an unrepentant homosexual or atheist, why do you embrace Donald and spit (mediforically) on any homosexual or atheist you meet?

How many others has she prosecuted for the same crime? And what about her predecessors?

She had vowed that she'd get Trump were she elected. That is using the law for your own purposes, a clear violation of ethics. She should be disbarred.

And how about someone subjecting every last one of her transactions to the same type of investigation?

Of course, you don't understand that. How absolutely liberal of you.

All of the above is what Trump would appeal on. If any or even one is found to be a violation then the judgment will be thrown out and James will likely be out and possibly disbarred...

Does that make you happy?

I suggest that you contact Trump's lawyers NOW so they can alter their appeal if necessary. It's up to you to save Donald. Do it now because if you don't, and the case can be thrown out, it will be your responsibility for all the money poor Donald has lost. Because once the judgment is paid...good luck getting it back.

And yes, I am a liberal which is why I can say what I said as opposed to you who would attack me to deflect from the truth...

She was fired because she said that she supported the Trump lie that led to the Jan 6th attack on the Capitol. You may have seen her as a RINO but her rhetoric pretty clearly placed her MAGA con camp therefore the reason for her firing by NBC...

Thank you AuntiE, what you say is spot on. You describe PeterS to a T. No matter what else, he’s got to do the “What about” routine. And his constant assumption that anyone/everyone that isn’t for Biden is some sort of MAGA fanatic. In his mind there are only 2 options, his way or the wrong way.

BD I don't assume that anyone who isn't for Biden is a MAGA moron...at least 20% of our population sit right in the middle and don't like either of the two candidates...and I am pretty sure you and Auntie would fall into the MAGA category.

As for deflection. Read the topic that Lily started. My response fit PERFECTLY with what she said. She was talking about criminals waving their country's flag instead of ours. Well, I posted a criminal waving the flag of a country that wasn't ours. The fact that you approve of that criminal walking through the Capitol waving that racist and repulsive flag wasn't the point. And the real deflection applies to Auntie and to you...trying to attack me instead of addressing what that criminal and flag represented!

Who's deflecting whom? If you talk about the criminal in the picture I posted then I'll talk about the criminals you want to talk about...https://www.cfr.org/article/crossing-darien-gap-migrants-risk-death-journey-us...is it that little girl on her father's shoulder with the curlers in her hair? Tell me what horrible crime she committed and I'll talk about it as intelligently as I can.
