The Real Threat To Democracy

There’s a lot of talk these days about various “threats to democracy.”  Well, CNN has come up with another one – and it’s a real doozy. 

Yesterday was Constitution Day.  So, CNN’s Jim Accosta decided to host a discussion with two Harvard professors who claim that the Constitution itself is a threat to democracy because it’s old and outdated.

The on-screen graphic accompanying their discussion declared:  “SCHOLARS WARN OUTDATED CONSTITUTION HAS PUT DEMOCRACY AT RISK.”

While we’ve come to expect such idiocy from CNN and Harvard elites, this is no laughing matter.  The neo-Marxist left is hellbent on shredding our Constitution and our freedoms.

Many nations have written constitutions with something similar to our Bill of Rights.  But the words by themselves, don’t guarantee freedom.  They’re often referred to as “parchment guarantees,” little more than mere words on a scrap of paper. 

Without a real commitment by “We the people” at every level to these rights, the words alone are meaningless.

And that’s the real tell here.  The left in America is no longer committed to the Constitution, largely because those rights limit government and empower the people. 

The whole American experiment, as we have reported for years, is based on something radically different than that of other nations.  Our Founding Fathers made it clear in our Declaration of Independence that our rights come from God, not government.  But today’s neo-Marxist left despises that idea.

That’s why progressive governors thought they could shut down our churches during COVID while deeming abortion clinics “essential.”  That’s why the governors of California and New Mexico are trying to gut the Second Amendment.  That’s why Joe Biden gets up every day at war with the First Amendment.

Thanks to CNN and increasingly brazen politicians like the governors of California and New Mexico, it’s getting harder for the American people to be ignorant of the fact that those on the left who claim to be “saving democracy” are in fact the real threat to democracy.
