It's All About Timing

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio 

The Op-ed posted here is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com

As we move forward into the 2024 election season two key issues remain in the forefront of most people's minds...the economy and the free-for-all disaster that is our southern border. But what many don't understand is that those two issues would start to resolve themselves on day one of a new Republican administration if we simply vote the Democrats out. With Democrats no longer controlling the reins of power normalcy would begin to return on the economic front as “Made in America” and “Buy American” will again dominate the economic discourse, and the much demanded wall would finally get built.

A Republican president, whether it be Donald Trump or my choice Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, will see that both issues are attended to. But why, for me, DeSantis over Trump...because not only does Florida have a budget surplus thanks to our governor's economic policies, but because DeSantis has a workable “day one” plan involving sending “active duty” military to the border to help in shutting down not only the overwhelmed points of entry, but drug smuggling operations as well...issues that should have been dealt with years ago.

And the reason I do not include former UN ambassador and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley here...whom I think would be a great VP choice for either man...is because after the unmitigated disgrace that is Kamala Harris I do not believe America is truly ready for a woman president...in time yes...just not in 2024.

Simply, thanks to the ineptitude that is the hallmark of Joe Biden's presidency, the economy rightfully remains the biggest concern for most Americans with its ramifications filtering down to “We the People” on a daily basis. Been to a grocery store lately or filled up your car with a tank of gas...no need to say anything more. And of course the “invasion” at our southern border has a direct impact on how and on whom our taxpayer dollars are spent. And again, these two issues could right themselves if we take back not only the White House but also the Senate, and not lose our tenuous hold on America's “purse strings”...aka the House.

And speaking of “purse strings”...we must now close the “purse” on the seemingly unending flow of monies going to Ukraine, while at the same time not losing sight of the fact that if Ukraine does fall Putin will start to advance on Europe. Likely starting with Poland and moving onward to the other former Soviet satellite nations, the monies that we've currently sent to Ukraine vs. what would be monies saved results in a difficult choice that has to be carefully weighed, because Ukrainians are fighting in the name of freedom...something we as a freedom loving nation must never lose sight of nor turn our back on.

Simply, the economy and Biden's what amounts to an “open border policy” must remain the key issues in people's minds when casting their 2024 vote...especially knowing that the Democrats need a steady stream of new “brown” folks to help restock their somewhat dwindling numbers after having thrown black Americans under the proverbial bus. 

However, other important issues must also be dealt with, but there's no need to wait for 2024 to do so as they can be dealt with now. And here I speak of a much needed referendum on the social and moral issues dividing our country today. And this includes the forced indoctrination of America's school children; the entirety of the “pronoun“ generated game of sexual “pretending“...aka “transgenderism”...as well as the will not go away issue of abortion.

So here let's start with the issue of abortion which does see its discourse, at times, morphing into overt acts of violence. Abortion, the very word drives passions ever forward, thus making the need for an open discussion not only imperative, but said discussion must extend beyond the ideological biblical constraints of the religious vs. the nonreligious views as to when human life does begin and end. Simple answers are being overlooked in the name of enacting a leftist political agenda...an agenda where scientific facts vs. the “it's my body to do as I wish” crowd...a crowd who continues trying to mold to their liking the question as to when abortion should be allowed and when, if ever, it should be deemed “murder.”

Enter the “Heartbeat Law”...a law that leaves it up to each individual state as to the time frame in which a woman can legally “abort” the child she's carrying. And while some states deem abortion to be legal only up to six weeks gestation, other states deem eight to 12 weeks as their cut off point, with a few states deeming abortion a woman's right, right up to the moment of birth...with some allowing abortion even after a “live birth” if done within a given time frame. In this case, I believe, it's “premeditated murder” in no uncertain terms.

Now let me state two obvious facts that are often overlooked regarding abortion, facts that might help put the issue of abortion to rest or at least not make it a deciding factor in how one votes in 2024. Fact one: a human life ends when there is no longer a beating heart, therefore a human life begins when the developing embryo's heart starts to beat. Fact two: conception itself is not life per se, but is the precursor to what may or may not become a human life. Remember, without a functioning heart there is no life for no human being can live without a beating heart.

And with the human heart, even in its most rudimentary stage, not starting to beat until around six weeks gestation, the “Heartbeat Law” with its six week abortion cutoff date actually makes sense for abortion up to that stage is not murder per se for no actual life is being aborted. However, by six weeks gestation the rudimentary heart does start to beat or “flutter” as some call it, and by eight to 12 weeks the baby's heart is indeed fully beating meaning it's alive and growing and should be given every chance to be born. And here, I believe, the only exceptions should be in cases of rape, incest, the life of the mother, or if the growing fetus is so medically compromised that it cannot survive after birth.

Bottom line...in my opinion...abortion must never be used as a means of birth control nor should it be an easy fix for mistakes easily avoided...that's what readily available contraceptives are for. Remove abortion from the political discourse via the six-week “Heartbeat Law,” and some of the wind driving the Democrats social issues sail will be no more. And with the issue of abortion slowly being returned to the states...as per the Supreme Court...official abortion cut off dates for each state should be based upon science facts not upon any one religion's tenets or dogma. But with taxpayer funded abortions still taking place, in an abstract way each and every one of us is helping to end a human life whether we are pro-life or not...scary and worrisome indeed.

Now in regards to another social/moral issue that must be dealt with post haste is the issue of “transgenderism”..a “game of pretending” taken to a whole new level. No longer just the misplaced belief that a male can become a female and a female a male, this anything but a game now involves, in some cases, the physical mutilation of school age children and even children as young as three years of age...children “indoctrinated” either by their parents or by their teachers into believing they're someone they are not.

And if truth be told “transgenderism” was born out of a political need to cater to folks who consider themselves to be “different” from the sexual norm they were born into. And so the Democrat party, who with their acceptance of this nonsense, saw said acceptance as being but a way to garner more votes, now spews out the word “inclusion” to help promote the taking of cross-gender hormones and the anything but “sex-reassigning” surgery.

And in this case it's “inclusion” based not upon medical facts but solely upon an individual's “feelings” that they're not really the sex they were born into, and who now want to live, act, and be accepted as the sex of their choosing. But the problem here is that these folks and their supporters are demanding that everyone else must accept and play along with their new, albeit faux identity, and must also when addressing said person use the correct “pronoun” that correlates with who they are “pretending” to be. And this is never mind that both scientific and medical facts alone prove ones real sexual identity.

So in the name of politics the trans-person's “pronoun” driven identity crisis...aka their “feelings”... must now be allowed to override common sense, logic, and the scientific fact that ones biological sex cannot be changed for ones sex is determined not by bodily appearance per se, but by one's DNA...as in a person's genetic code. Simply, ones genetic code cannot be changed no matter the amount of hormones taken nor what said person might have cut off or added on when going under the knife for what is genetically impossible “sex-reassigning surgery.”

Bottom line, in my opinion, what is now called “gender dysphoria” is simply a game of “pretending”... a game all must play along with for to do otherwise might cause the trans-person's feelings to be hurt. But instead of catering to these individuals...instead of a morally “unacceptable” behavior being deemed “acceptable”...maybe the focus should be on getting help for those who, in reality, are suffering from a mental disorder...a disorder based solely upon unrealistic “feelings." And this is most telling when the fact remains that most who identify as “transgender” keep their birth assigned male or female anatomical features. This alone dictates that psychiatric intervention is needed to help these folks deal with said unrealistic “feelings.”

And the last social/moral issue that needs to be dealt with involves the ongoing “woke” indoctrination of America's school age children. Remember when school was about learning...about reading, writing, math, science, and history...but that's no more thanks to the left now holding the majority of school board positions. So now our children are being taught by teachers more concerned about being “politically correct, woke, and inclusive” as they openly force young children to not only accept the “pronoun” nonsense, but to believe that hes can become shes, and that shes can become hes.

Simply, what's happening in America's schools today is the forced “sexualization of children,” and parents are supposed to accept that as being America's new norm... no questions asked...no answers given. To that I say “no way” for this act of indoctrination has directly led not only to America's moral decline but to her educational decline as well. And our children's lowered test scores in reading, math, and science prove just that.

And what's even sadder is that parents who do fight back...especially when doing so at school board meetings...are deemed “domestic terrorists” by the left and at times by the media as well. And it's because they've forgotten unspoken liberal rule number one that as long as Democrats are in power parents alone should not be raising their children...the government should be helping. 

Sadly, many of America's public and even some private schools...including colleges and universities...continue to be indoctrination centers grooming the next generation of blind following “sheeple” into accepting the liberal mindset of “anything goes,” and where moral and social debauchery must be accepted as the new “normal” with curriculum adjusted accordingly.

And if that doesn't scare you I don't know what will, but then again most forget that America's downfall on almost all fronts started when a previously unknown “community organizer” named Barack Hussein Obama became president, and who in just eight years laid down the time frame by which America would fall...morally, socially, economically, militarily, and in the eyes of the world.

And that time is now with 2024 being our last chance to turn this “American nightmare” around. And we can start by dealing with the social and moral issues now and leave the focus on what we cannot change...as in the economy and border fiasco...while Biden/Obama are still in power. So vote wisely my friends, especially in the primaries, for our beloved American can no longer afford a Democrat disaster being replaced by a corresponding Republican one...case closed.

Being Critical of Critical Race Theory

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

 

...Instead, CRT chooses to place blame on the whole of what they call “white social structures,” with its adherents claiming it's overt across the board discrimination by white folks against people of color no matter a given individuals actions, words, or deeds to the contrary. 

 

But nothing could be further from the truth for, I believe, what Critical Race Theory really is trying to do is propagate the idea that racism in America is not just an in-you-face obvious for the TV cameras occurrence but that it is stealthily “indirect, subtle, and systemic,” and that the fault lies solely within the population of white America. I also believe that the end game of CRT is not now nor has it ever been to actually end racism but to keep the momentum of hate going by manipulating black folks into becoming a faction driven by veiled suppression that the “powers that be” can forever control...

Op-ed:

Being Critical of Critical Race Theory

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

“Come on people now. Smile on your Brother. Everybody get together. Try to love one another. Right now,”
- words from the old 1960's Youngblood's song, 'Let's Get Together'

Lately we've been bombarded with the words Critical Race Theory (CRT). Those three words have taken over the political discourse, the media, and have made dangerous inroads into all levels of our school system...both public and private schools as well as colleges and universities. Now teaching young impressionable minds that the actual science behind what constitutes “race” is not “biologically natural,” CRT claims instead that “race” is a "culturally invented, socially constructed entity" derived solely to exploit and oppress people of color...especially those scientifically classified as Negroid... folks more commonly referred to as black people...and that it does so while serving the interests of white groups and institutions who deliberately perpetrate the negative stereotypes regarding people of color especially if it meets both their needs and wants.

And those who adhere to this nonsense...you can google CRT's history and its partisan political beginnings...also believe that both U.S. law and mainstream legal institutions...most especially our appellate judicial system...are inherently racist with their sole reason for being but to create and maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between white and black Americans, with so-called “brown, yellow and red Americans” thrown in for good or bad measure...depending of course upon one's personal point of view and/or prejudices. And some take what is but a twisted and diluted form of the Marxist-oriented “critical theory”...a theory where judicial decisions are mainly influenced by nonlegal factors...as in political factors...instead of by set legal precedent and reasoning...and take it even one step further by claiming that being racist in America is a normal way of being amongst white people and not the exception, but that it is also a quite common and ordinary experience shared by most people of color, especially by black people.

But the truth is that like most liberal-speak, Critical Race Theory is but a pandering political dialogue manufactured primarily to make excuses for the what is perceived by liberal sorts to be gaps in income, wealth, education, employment, and social status between white and black America, as well as to take blame off those who not only make bad personal choices but who refuse to take any responsibility for their own actions. Instead, CRT chooses to place blame on the whole of what they call “white social structures,” with its adherents claiming it's overt across the board discrimination by white folks against people of color no matter a given individuals actions, words, or deeds to the contrary.

But nothing could be further from the truth for, I believe, what Critical Race Theory really is trying to do is propagate the idea that racism in America is not just an in-you-face obvious for the TV cameras occurrence but that it is stealthily “indirect, subtle, and systemic,” and that the fault lies solely within the population of white America. I also believe that the end game of CRT is not now nor has it ever been to actually end racism but to keep the momentum of hate going by manipulating black folks into becoming a faction driven by veiled suppression that the “powers that be” can forever control.

Now being used by the Democrats in an effort to help divide our country even more than she already is, Critical Race Theory downplays the need for black Americans to understand that racism, whether it's self-perceived or it's real, remains the stuff that fuels much needed political fodder. And like everything else the Democrats do, CRT actually aids in the ideological enslavement of black people, and does so as a means by which to garner their votes. In fact, everything the Democrats do is about votes for votes equals power and power equals control...neither of which the Democrats intend to surrender.

Remember, it's power and control above all else that is the Democrats “god,” if you will, and what the Democrats want is for the talked down to masses to not only believe but to accept as fact that racism will only go away via the enacting of so-called “color-blind” laws, policies, and practices...the very crux of Critical Race Theory. And when that is coupled with the concept of “white guilt” only then, they believe, can all races receive “equitable treatment” under the law along with the overcoming of individual racial biases.

And Democrats want us to believe that racial healing must begin with the securing of reparations...the supposed first baby step towards “equitable treatment”... a supposed key objective of Critical Race Theorists. And while “equitable treatment” should mean that all folks, no matter their skin color, receive equal opportunities to reach a specific objective or goal, the fact is that under CRT certain “considerations” must be in place to equalize the playing field for people of color. And this basically means that no matter the fancy words being pushed forward, “equitable treatment” is not now nor will it ever be "equal treatment" under the law, not when policies are enacted that allow specific “considerations” for one group of people over another group of people.

Simply, CRT is affirmative action on steroids.

Also know that no law enacted nor policy or theory dictated can stop an individual from hating if that is what one is so inclined to do. In fact, mandating laws or teaching theories with no tangible substance or truth actually allows for racism to gain momentum courtesy of folks who, while never racists before, have now after witnessing certain minority folks actions, words, and demands become so. And the securing of reparations is but one example, for why should black folks who were never slaves be given monies from white folks who were never slave owners. And besides, reparations itself is racist in nature as it singles out a specific group of people...black people...for special “consideration,” basically negating the concept of "equal treatment" for all...and isn't equality what it's really all about...or is it?

No...it's not equality that those who adhere to Critical Race Theory want but even more of a free ride for certain minority folks while at the same time brainwashing America's impressionable youth into believing that skin color alone is what dictates the “have and have nots,” and that white skin is something to be ashamed of. And this is but one of the means by which CRT pits people of color...black people...against white people all in an effort to dictate the current and they hope future political discourse along with "big government" overseeing the how, when, and whys of exactly what will be done to right what they alone perceive to be America's past wrongs. But what the CRT crowd ignores is the fact that both America's rights and America's wrongs helped to forge the freedoms we have today...take away those freedoms and America as we know her no longer exists.

And it's these very freedoms that separates us from other countries...freedoms that are ingrained in us throughout our formative school years, thus it's here in America's schools where Critical Race Theory is the most dangerous. Why...because in brainwashing our youth into believing politically generated fiction instead of well documented historical facts, generations of independent thinkers are lost. And it starts with CRT's premise that racism is indeed an integral part of everyone's everyday life...read white folks here...and that even people who claim not to be racists still can make "bad choices" that help to fuel racism on.

Such nonsense indeed because except for a certain segment within the minority of America's black minority population, the color of one's skin does not dictate how one lives their lives nor does it become the excuse given for failures in life. Simply, skin color is not the first thing the vast majority of Americans, black Americans surely included, think of upon awakening nor is it the last thing thought of before drifting off to sleep, yet the color of one's skin alone is the driving force behind the mindset of those who adhere to Critical Race Theory thinking. And now sadly, due to political skulduggery, it's also become the mindset of those who want to brainwash our children into believing white skin is bad and black skin is good...white skin is something to be ashamed of while black skin is something to be proud of.

In other words, Critical Race Theory itself is not only racist in its very concept, but it actually helps to promote racism by making "implied racism" a part of each and everyone's everyday life.

And while some states have embraced this nonsense and passed legislation allowing this what amounts to indoctrination to be taught in both public and private schools, other states...predominantly red states...have banned Critical Race Theory on the basis that it not only tries to promote the idea that white people have had an advantage at birth, but that it plants “the seeds of self-hatred in America's children,” while pushing forward the left's ideology that “white people are born as racist oppressors and that black people are born as victims.”

In fact, I'll even go one step further and say that Critical Race Theory not only pushes forward a politically driven divisive and mentally harmful agenda...a hateful agenda especially harmful to impressionable youth...but that CRT helps to breed a new generation of racists in its teachings of “white privilege.”...teachings which actually separates people based upon race, the very antithesis of the long fought for idea of inclusion.

But most important of all, Critical Race Theory tries to rewrite America's history by the foretelling of a future that they alone will determine and do so by only focusing on the bad while ignoring all of American history's good. And by ignoring basic human nature and societal norms, CTR willingly draws attention to the negative in order to make said negative become the absolute truth forgetting that there are always two sides to every story. One person's truth can be another person's lie, yet the fact is that history alone remains static...it cannot be changed for what was...was. Learn from history's mistakes but don't try erase the past for to do so negates who we are today and who we might become in the future. 

Simply, black is black, white is white, mix them together and you get all shades of gray... not such a bad thing now is it.
