Chuck on the right side
THIS IS A BLOG THAT TRIES TO APPEAL TO THE AVERAGE CONSERVATIVE CITIZEN AND HAS NO AGENDA OTHER THAN TELLING THE TRUTH AS WE SEE IT.
This phrase, 'the soft bigotry of low expectations,' was written by speech writer, Michael Gerson, for use by President George W. Bush in one of his speeches. It refers to the fact that the Left's approach when it comes to minorities – especially in the black community – is based on the notion that they are unable to achieve success in a white-dominated American society. That attitude is being proselytized by politicians, academics and radical groups like ANTIFA and BLM.
A good example is the canard that Republicans are suppressing the vote by passing laws that make voting more difficult when, in fact, they are making voting easier, while making voter fraud harder. Ironically, the voting law in Georgia, makes voting easier than the voting laws in Delaware – Biden's home state, yet Georgia is being accused, even by Joe Biden, of using the dreaded “Jim Crow” voting laws of yore. The Democrats claim that requiring voter I.D. is a return to the “Jim Crow” laws prior to the 1960's. The Democrats never mention that the Democrat Party was the party that championed the “Jim Crow” laws prior to the passing of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964-65. A historical fact is that if it wasn't for the Republican minority, the Civil Rights laws would not have passed Congress. The same is true of other states who have passed similar laws as Georgia, making the law apply equally to black, white, yellow, red, and brown citizens. Implying that minorities can't get or possess a voter I.D. is a bigoted and racist statement. Using the pandemic as an excuse, the election of 2020, was fraught with laws that were changed in the months and weeks before the election, making voter fraud easier to commit. By mailing out unsolicited ballots to everyone, many of whom didn't even request a ballot, and in some cases were deceased or no longer resided in the state, battleground states were able to turn the results of the election to Joe Biden. This resulted in a lack of confidence with the integrity of the electoral process among constituents, thus an outcry for voter I.D. reform ensued. Another area where the soft bigotry of low expectations exists is in the area of education. The left-leaning groups, mainly based in the Democrat Party, have proposed that our curriculum should include the teachings of Socialism's founders, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Their “Communist Manifesto”, introduced the concept of socialism as a natural result of the conflicts inherent in the capitalist system. Marx and Engels predicted that the upcoming proletarian revolution would sweep aside the capitalist system for good, making the workingman the new ruling class. Those ideas, unfortunately, appeal to many of the minority factions in our country. Today, we have a movement among the vocal and militant progressive left to introduce and inject into our schools the false facts of designating the United States as a “systemic racist nation”, by attempting to introduce in our schools the “1619 Project” and “Critical Race Theory”. The themes behind these bogus theories is that “white” people are the oppressors, and “black” people are the oppressed. That mindset is and of itself racist as it doesn't take into account the real history of the United States as it has evolved since its inception. Our Constitution and the Amendments to it, have made changes that has made us a more perfect society that is the envy of the world. This is why people from all over the world want to come here, legally and illegally, to live and work in this “racist” country. To claim otherwise, as the radical Progressive left often does to incite minorities, is a libel and slander directed at the United States. The soft bigotry of low expectations, as promoted by left liberal groups including politicians, academics, Hollywood elites, and violent, anti-social groups like ANTIFA and BLM, is slowly being confronted around the country as citizens become aware of the treasonous consequences of pitting one race against another, one class against another, one ethnic group against another, and one gender against the other. Citizens must be vigilant and confront these assaults against or democratic republic and against the indoctrination of our children in our schools or we will become a third-world country like Venezuela and Cuba in our own hemisphere. Our country is worth fighting for as we try to “Make America Great Again”. Conservative Commentary by Chuck Lehmann

How come minorities, generally, continue to vote for the candidates of the party that has oppressed them over the years? The Democrat Party is and has been the party if Jim Crow, slavery, and practitioners of the "nanny state" that has kept minorities on the plantation in the past and even today. Look at the cities and states that are run by Democrats - homelessness and crime is rampant, mainly in the minority communities. When will the people wake up and throw the rascals out?
