Democrats are the Nigerian Prince Scammers of American Politics, and their Voters are the Dupes

 According to the American Heritage dictionary, this is the definition of Stupid: 

1.  Slow to learn or understand; obtuse.

2.  Tending to make poor decisions or careless mistakes.

3.  Marked by a lack of intelligence or care; foolish or careless.

That applies to a lot of Americans… Democrat voters in general and in particular a majority of blacks, college students and white college educated women. 

Notice I said Democrat voters, not Democrat politicians.  Democrat politicians may be many things, hypocrites, liars, traitors and more, but they’re not stupid as defined above. Why?  Because they do exactly what they need to do in order to win and gain power and fortune. 

There’s perhaps no better example than Joe Biden… the man is a congenital liar .  Plagiarism has been a problem since he was in college and was actually the reason he withdrew from his first presidential campaign.  Indeed, Biden is a lying machine!  He claimed to have gone to college on a full scholarship, earned three degrees and graduated in the top of his class.  All lies

Biden’s career of lies only become more consequential and destructive as he ran for president in 2020.  Every campaign is full of hyperbole like “I’m going to cut taxes” or “I’ll be the education president”.  But with Biden the lies went far beyond white lies.  He told the American people the story of his son Hunter’s laptop was Russian propaganda, that he never discussed business with his son and perhaps most depressingly of all, once he became president he went on TV and told the country that “White supremacists” are the most dangerous threat to the nation.  All lies. 

But Joe Biden is not stupid, although even before dementia began to set in he probably wouldn’t have qualified for Mensa.  He may have never been the brightest bulb, but he was and is smart like a fox when it comes to accumulating money and power.

Not that there’s anything wrong with accumulating money and power.  Most Americans would like to be financially secure and have the power to improve the lives of those around them and perhaps beyond. But there’s a difference between grifting for a living and doing an honest day’s work.

The question is however, how does one guy of marginal intelligence get “elected” to the most powerful job in the world? Easy, Democrats are the Nigerian Princes of American politics.

We’re all familiar with the Nigerian Prince schemes. You get an email telling you that some prince has millions of dollars tied up in an American bank but they can’t get the money without paying some fee or tax, which, because of some visa application hiccup they can’t pay. If however you’ll just pay the $10,000 tax for them they can get their money and will send you millions. Seems legit…

Any normal person would read the email, often filled with misspellings and outlandish claims, and delete it as an obvious scam. But there are a certain number of people who will take the bait and don’t quite figure out that it’s a scam until their bank accounts are empty, or worse!

But here’s the thing, those misspellings and grammatical mistakes and outlandish claims aren’t a bug, they’re a feature! The whole point of the exercise isn’t to garner responses from millions of people who will do even a minimal amount of due diligence and discover the obvious fraud.  That would waste the culprit’s time and make the whole endeavor too time consuming to be profitable.  No, they make the email and the claims so obviously ludicrous that the only people who respond are those sufficiently gullible to end up forking over tens of thousands of dollars. The victims of these schemes may be rather dim, but the thieves are anything but.  They’re highly sophisticated in understanding how the human mind works and they are experts at manipulating it.  If they weren’t, the scam never would have taken off and tens of thousands of victims around the world wouldn’t be out of millions of dollars. 

Now replace the Nigerian Prince scam with Democrat party propaganda and you begin to see exactly what is going on. The Democrat party, along with their comrades in the media and academia and the regulatory state are the grifters sitting behind the computer screen spamming America with outlandish claims and promises of fortune, knowing that a certain element of the population are sufficiently gullible to believe them.

For fifty years Democrats told American women that men were superfluous to raising children but now that’s moot because men can have babies, genetic men are real women and prepubescent children are mature enough to consent to sex change operations. They tell us with a straight face that the “Woman of the Year” is a guy who used to be a mediocre men’s swimmer but who dominates when competing against real women.

For decades they told black Americans Democrats were their champions when even a modicum of research would reveal that it was the Democrats who started a war to keep blacks in chains, fought the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, started the KKK, wrote Jim Crow laws, and filibustered the Civil Rights Act. It was the Democrats whose policies destroyed the nuclear black family and eviscerated cities like Detroit, Chicago and others that were once engines of black advancement.  It was the Democrats who called for defunding the police and for “equity” in the justice system, severing the connection between actions and consequences and leaving the blood of thousands of black Americans on streets across the country.  And perhaps most treacherously of all, it was Democrats who told blacks that America is a systemically racist nation where they had no chance for success, sparking the worst racial tension in America in two generations.  And proving they disdain black voters, they tell black Americans their lives are at risk because of racist whites when every black person in America knows they have far more to fear from black males, and it’s not even close.  

Democrats constantly tell the middle class they’re being shafted because the rich didn’t pay their fair share, in reality the top 10% of income earners pay 71% of all federal income taxes while the bottom 50% pay a mere 3%.

They also tell us the border is secure while we watch thousands of people simply walk into the country and call anyone who notices a racist. 

Finally, in 2020 when Americans went to bed with Donald Trump ahead in the polls in states like Georgia, Pennsylvania and Michigan only to wake up the next morning to find that Democrat run cities had stopped counting the votes and then magically when they restarted Biden was ahead.  Again, with straight faces they tell us a guy who couldn’t fill a phone booth for his rallies beat a guy whose supporters overflowed football stadiums across the country and the guys we see on video walking around with flags inside the Capitol on Jan 6^th represent the biggest attack on America since 9/11.

The Nigerian Price scammers are pikers when compared to the Democrats. All they want is empty someone’s bank account.  Democrats want total control over everyone’s lives.

When the gullible give their money to the Nigerian Prince scammers it’s only their bank accounts that are being emptied, but when gullible and stupid voters give their votes to Democrats they’re undermining the Republic for the entire population.  The difference is, most of the marks who fall for the Prince scam learn their lessons and rarely make the same mistake twice while the marks who vote for Democrats continue to do it regardless of the damage they do.  There’s a word for that.

The Speech Donald Trump should have given last week...

The events of this past Saturday in Charlottesville were indeed tragic. A young lady lost her life peacefully exercising her 1^st Amendment rights.  She was protesting a rally of white supremacists / Nazis and the KKK when one of those white supremacists drove his car into a group of protesters and killed AAA and injured numerous others.

Let me perfectly clear, while those groups do indeed have the right to rally and express their views, I abhor everything they stand for.  America is not a nation about hate, rather it is a nation about freedom and it is a nation built on liberty and opportunity for all.  While such groups do exist, thankfully their numbers are tiny.  Whether the number of white supremacists in America is 100,000 or 1 million, in a nation of 330 million people they are by any stretch, a fringe element, a tiny fraction.  America has mostly turned away from such hate so that such views, while protected, are, thankfully, largely absent from the public square.

That being said, I must also point out that those white supremacist groups were not the only bad actors at that rally.  While many good people were in Charlottesville to peacefully protest the white supremacist groups, there were many others who were there to instigate trouble and cause violence.  As we have seen over the course of the last few years groups such as Antifa, or others have become well known for creating violence around the country.  That was true on Saturday in Charlottesville as well.

At the end of the day, wherever the violence comes from, whether from white racists or anti capitalist anarchists, it is wrong and Americans of all stripes should condemn it.  This is particularly true because the fact of the matter is that Americans, whoever they are, have far more in common with their fellow Americans than they do with others outside of the country, regardless of what group they identify with.  White Americans likely have far more in common with black Americans than they do with most white people from Europe. By the same token, blacks in America generally have far more in common with their fellow white Americans than they do with practically anyone living on the continent of Africa.  The same holds true for Hispanics in America vs. Hispanics in Latin America or gays in America vs. gays in the middle east or many other places in the world.

For all of our differences, the United States of America is a nation built on freedom, liberty and opportunity.  Most certainly our history is not pristine, but then as with all nations of men, none is.  From European colonization to African tribes selling members of other tribes into slavery to the tyrannies of Communism or socialism, no nation or heritage is pristine.  But here in the United States our Founding Fathers gave us the tools to advance our society, to make it better as we pursue life, liberty and happiness.  They gave us a Constitution that gave us the 13^th and 14^th Amendments which in turn gave us the civil rights bills of the 1960s.  And the 19^th Amendment.

They also left us with something unlike anything found anywhere in history… Our bill of rights, which promises a freedom of speech unprecedented in human history. The 1^st Amendment isn’t necessary to protect popular speech, as no government would try and suppress a speech about puppies or teddy bears.  No, the 1^st Amendment exists specifically to protect speech many fine abhorrent, such as we heard in Charlottesville last Saturday.  That is the point.  It is only by protecting such fringe speech do we protect all speech.  Freedom of speech is not freedom to commit violence however, and that is exactly what happened on Saturday, from both the permitted groups and some of the counter protesters.  While the freedom of speech should be respected, violence should not be accepted. The 1^st Amendment, along with the rest of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution were written specifically to protect the republic from being taken over by mob rule… which is exactly what the those who seek to incite riot desire.  We will not allow that. 

America is most certainly not perfect, and the events in Charlottesville clearly demonstrate that, but thankfully, events such as those are an anomaly, far from the norm.  Most Americans are not racists, are not fascists, not part of violent mobs and do not seek to shut up those they disagree with.  On the contrary, most Americans busy living their lives, they are interested in having a good job, providing a good life for their families, getting their children a good education and of course enjoying their freedoms.  They are not out to cause trouble, to spout racist chants or throw Molotov cocktails through a Starbucks widow.  And for that we should all be grateful. 

And in closing, I would like to say, if we as Americans spend more time focusing on the things that bind us, focusing on the broader things that make America great, like industry, innovation and strengthening our communities, events like those that took place in Charlottesville will be but a tiny blemish on the spectacular vista of our lives.  America is not perfect, but it possibly as close as humans have seen and it is truly a gift from God.  As we go through our daily lives, if we remind ourselves to focus on her opportunities, on her many advances and on the fact that most Americans are good people, tensions might subdue and we can all get back to the business of pursuing happiness for everyone.
