Once again I am re-posting an op ed that is so right on it must be read and reread.
One day when fake news has been relegated to the dustbin of history and facts have re-taken their rightful place, Realville will return. And when that happens, Obama and the criminals he protected and who grew up in his radical garden will be seen for who they actually were.(See 1 below.)

1)It’s Time to Get Real About Our Enemies
By Karin McQuillan
Out here in Realville, we better get real about our opponents. They are not well-meaning liberals. They are dangerous. The target is not Trump. They are out to get all of us.Out here in Realville, to borrow from Rush Limbaugh, Donald Trump’s supporters could be very happy. For ordinary Americans—from the top to the bottom of the economic spectrum, black, white and brown—President Trump has brought good times. Except for the screeching drama queens in the Democratic Party and among #TheResistance—and our serious mass immigration problems—life is good and the country is secure.In a sensible world, we would be basking in this period of unprecedented prosperity and peace.The country should be unified and full of bonhomie. The whole world has advanced to inconceivable levels of global peace and prosperity. Life is easier, healthier, and more comfortable for more people than ever before in history.Socialism and Communism—those tragic sisters from the 1800s that led to the greatest human suffering, poverty, and mass starvation in human history—should barely be remembered.Instead, they are ascendant in the Democrat Party. Cultural Marxism and socialism are the new Democrat chic. The entire country is in an uproar. Everyone feels a sense of doom and gloom.There is more to #TheResistance than the political panic inspired by the likes of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). They are riding a monster not of their own making. In order to survive, they are providing cover and normalization of something not at all normal.Conservative pundits have latched onto the fun words “hysteria” and “Trump derangement syndrome.” These words, though cute, mask the seriousness of what is actually happening. The mass hysteria is a goal and a tactic, whipped up by cool-headed, purposeful people. It was not caused by Trump’s tweets or orange coloring. It has everything to do with a long game to change our country. Things are so weird in American politics on purpose or, rather, for purposes—radical left purposes.The exaggerated, weird loathing of President Trump and all Republicans—that flies in the face of our peace and prosperity—is the daily work of thousands of professional leftists. #The Resistance is their dream come true, as in Barack Obama’s Dreams from My Father.Their PLAN has long been Public. As Saul Alinsky taught Obama,“[An] organizer must shake up the prevailing patterns of their lives—agitate, create disenchantment and discontent with the current values, to produce, if not a passion for change, at least a passive, affirmative, non-challenging climate. [You must] fan the embers of hopelessness into a flame of fight.”The tactics of the Trump #Resistance were developed decades ago by Leninists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven along with Alinksy. They were taught by Barack Obama as both a community organizer and a University of Chicago lecturer. There’s a photo of Obama standing before a blackboard teaching Alinsky. Obama never taught constitutional law—he taught three courses on “race, rights and gender,” exploring the legal basis for reparations, the history of lynching and the failure of the Bill of Rights to redistribute wealth.The Socialist plan to create anger and chaos to undermine America is happening all around us right now. Yet we ignore it. It doesn’t fit into our image of America. It comes with an aura of unreality. We’d rather make snarky comments about snowflakes and peoples’ heads exploding than get serious.You can’t defeat an implacable enemy you refuse to name or wilfully underestimate.This is not to say there is nothing new here. The anger, chaos, and activist pressure, the corruption of the FBI and Department of Justice, are new in our lifetimes. Our parents and grandparents saw them in the 1930s with Communist and Fascist agitprop and infiltration of key institutions. We seem helplessly naïve, not understanding what has hit us.Today, the American Left is empowered with unprecedented funding. Soros is only one among a number of radical billionaires, from the Green promoter Tom Steyer, to the Pritzkers of Chicago (Hyatt Hotel heirs), who launched Obama’s U.S. Senate run. One of the Pritzkers is transsexual and a Democrat mega-donor. ActBlue raised well over $1 billion dollars for Democrats in 2018.Conservative groups aren’t even playing the same game. The Koch brothers don’t make the list of top 50 “heavy hitters’”political donors in the country, compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics—only two out of the top 20 give to Republicans. David Horowitz and Jacob Laskin in their book The New Leviathan, count 122 leftist foundations worth $104 billion. Conservative political groups? Eighty-six in the whole country, worth a measly $10 billion.Radicalized progressive groups also get federal funding not given to conservative groups, under the guise of being apolitical nonprofits for health care, poverty programs, the environment and even for helping illegal aliens.Federal support for radicalism exploded under Obama. He illegally transferred money from the U.S. Treasury—some $500 million, not small seed money—and distributed it among leftist nonprofits like La Raza, to create havoc in the name of social justice. His own organization, Organize for Action, for which he raised money as president, has a database of 2 million volunteers.We are talking about billions of dollars in total and tens of thousands of professional activists—or more. That pays for a lot of agitation, lawsuits, demonstrations, and “resistance.” That’s why the country is in turmoil.America is in trouble. We never understood that a community organizer is not a feel-good social worker looking to help people. (I was a social worker, so I know.) A community organizer is a paid agitator, out to make poor people so mad they will storm the barricades and destroy the system. They don’t respect political norms. They are out to smash norms and politicize everything.Conservatives are appalled that progressives have politicized every area of life, from fast food chicken and football to wedding cakes and shaving. These are classic leftist campaigns. Professional agitators are trained shake-down artists who go where the money and power is easiest to grab—American business.Corporate shakedowns were perfected by race hustlers after federal dollars corrupted the Civil Rights Movement. Agitators learned they could fund themselves by threatening banks and others with bad publicity and lawsuits for alleged racism. Now they target corporations as pure power moves in the culture wars.Just because it’s on Twitter, doesn’t mean corporate shaming is spontaneous. Twitter does make leftist campaigns more effective, but it is the same old agitprop.Seven years ago, way before Trump, the Color of Change, a “social justice” nonprofit headed by self-proclaimed Marxist/Maoist communist and former Obama “green jobs czar” Van Jones, launched a “name-and-shame campaign,” against corporations which support public-private partnerships. The tactic is hard-core American Marxism.Trump could shave his head and stop tweeting tomorrow, stop counter punching, start acting like the milquetoast Romney and it would make not an ounce of difference.

2)Changing Reality With Words
The reinvention of vocabulary can often be more effective than any social protest movement. Malarial swamps can become healthy “wetlands.” Fetid “dumps” are often rebranded as green “landfills.”
Global warming was once a worry about too much heat. It implied that man-made carbon emissions had so warmed the planet that life as we knew it would soon be imperiled without radical changes in consumer lifestyles.
Yet in the last 30 years, record cold spells, inordinate snow levels and devastating rains have been common. How to square that circle?
Substitute “climate change” for global warming. Presto! Any radical change in weather could be perceived as symptomatic of too much climate-changing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Suddenly, blizzards, deluges and subzero temperatures meant that typically unpredictable weather was “haywire” because of affluent Westernized lifestyles.
Affirmative action originated as a means of making up for past prejudices against the African-American community, which comprised about 12 percent of the population.
By the late 1960s, slavery, Jim Crow and institutionalized segregation were finally considered unique stains on the American past, to be redeemed in the present by set-aside programs in college admissions and hiring predicated on racial considerations.
The problem with affirmative action is that the very name implied redress for historical wrongs that could be “affirmed” by compensatory action for a particular minority of the population. But lots of other groups wished to be included in an ever-expanding catalog of the oppressed.
Mexican-Americans were soon added on the basis on past biases. Yet weren’t Asian-Americans discriminated against in the past as well, especially during the construction of the railroads in the 19th century and during the Japanese-American internments of World War II?
Then, a host of other nonwhite groups—especially newly arriving immigrants with no prior experience of supposed American racism—sought inclusion in set-aside categories. By the 1980s, a new and vaguer term, “diversity,” had increasingly replaced “affirmative action.”
Diversity meant that it was no longer incumbent upon job or college applicants to claim historical grievances or prove that they were still victims of ongoing and demonstrable discrimination from the white-majority population. Diversity also meant that members of any group that declared itself nonwhite—from Arab-Americans to Chilean-Americans—were eligible for advantages in hiring and college admissions.
Unlike affirmative action, diversity meant that approximately 30 percent of the country—in theory, more than 100 million Americans—were suffering as aggrieved minorities, regardless of income or class.
If united simply by shared nonwhite-victim status, the resulting new pan-minority group could prove a far more formidable catalyst for particular political agendas.
“Illegal alien”—a term still used by official government agencies—described any foreign national residing in the U.S. without government sanction. But when the numbers of those who fit the old classification grew, and the number of people invested in relaxed immigration policies expanded across the political spectrum, the term gradually metamorphosed.
If “alien,” a Latinate word deriving from the idea of “other” or “different,” sounds too outer space-like, why not substitute “immigrant”? Yet “illegal immigrant” still sounded as if breaking federal immigration laws was somehow a serious legal matter. So the vague “undocumented immigrant” superseded the old term.
As the numbers of those crossing the southern border grew and the power of those invested in expanded immigration—employers, identity-politics activists, Democratic operatives, the Mexican government—peaked, even more euphemisms emerged to downplay illegality.
Often, “undocumented” was dropped, leaving just “immigrants”—conflating applicants who waited years for legal entry with those who swarmed the border illegally.
Increasingly we now hear just “migrants”—a vague term that further divorces illegal immigration from reality by conflating the acts of leaving and entering the country.
Democrats used to self-identify as “liberals.” The Latin etymology means “free,” as in the context of “free” thinkers not burdened by oppressive traditions, ideological straitjackets and unworkable norms.
But the problem with “liberal” is that even conservatives occasionally used the term, as in “classical liberals” who judged issues by facts and reason rather than rigid orthodoxy.
Moreover, “liberal” included little notion of evolution and advancement. So gradually, “progressive” has eclipsed the stuffy “liberal.”
“Progressive’ infers an activist, not a neutral, ideology—one that is always moving the country in the supposedly correct direction.
After all, who favors “regression” in any field over “progression,” an inherently positive noun implying beneficial advancement?
A liberal Democrat was once someone seen as a free thinker. But “progressive” implies that one is more action-orientated and has an evolutionary agenda, not just a methodology.

Democrats Continue Trying To Coverrup Sexual Assault
Virginia Democrats are dragging their feet at investigating Lieutenant Governor Fairfax over his alleged sexual assaults. The Free Beacon reports:
Republican leadership in the Virginia legislature says efforts to form a bipartisan committee to investigate rape claims made against Democratic lieutenant governor Justin Fairfax have been stalled by Democrats.House speaker Kirk Cox told the Washington Post on Thursday that he has asked his Democratic colleagues to join him on a 10-person investigative committee, with five members from each party, arguing that accusers Vanessa Tyson and Meredith Watson “deserve a voice.”“We need to work on a process to do that,” Cox says he told the Democrats. “And I would like for you to come alongside us.”Fairfax was first accused of rape by Tyson, who said he forced her to perform oral sex on him while they were both staff members at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Fairfax was then accused of rape by Watson, who recounted a similar experience when they were both students at Duke University.
Virginian politics continue to be in disgrace, and it is incumbent on the Republican majority to restore some decency to the reputation of the state.
