D’Souza Calls Out
“Gangsterization” of Democrat Party
Conservative author and
filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza says there is a “gangster-ization” of the Democratic
party, meaning that the Democrats are acting like gangsters by exerting the power
of government when punishing their political rivals.
D’Souza coined an
interesting new term in the word “gangster-ization.” Basically, it just refers
to a political party acting like thugs, bullies and gangsters. In this case,
it’s referring to those in the Democrat party, especially those in the highest
positions of power, acting like gangsters.
For example, look at how
D’Souza was punished harshly pertaining to campaign finance. He was punished more harshly than others would have been
for the same type of offense. As he says, that was wrong.
Films have been very
powerful over the years in conveying important messages. And D’Souza’s most recent
film, with the compelling title “Death of A Nation,” opened on August 3. It
says that one of the greatest issues for Americans now is the Democrats’
weaponization of government to push political punishment on their enemies.
D’Souza says the
gangster type of attitude is creating a great deal of tension and in fact is a
huge contributor to the country being so divided these days.
“I attribute this mainly
to the gangster-ization of the Democratic Party,” he said. “If I can cite my
own case as an example.
I was charged by the
Obama administration for exceeding campaign finance laws. They threw the weight
of the federal government against me…But under Obama and under Hillary, you had
this turn in which the weapons of the state are used against political
opponents. There’s no way to compromise with that. It’s not like we can have a
middle position on that. We actually have to just stop it.”
Interestingly, D’Souza
says that even though slavery was abolished so many years ago, as compared to
back then, Democrats still have similar toxic attitudes toward black and Latio people and others.
“The Democrats identify
an ethnic group and they say, ‘We’re not going to campaign for your votes as
individuals,” the filmmaker explained. “We want your votes collectively, and
we’re going to create an institutional dependency and inter-generational
dependency on the Democratic Party.
You’ll never get out of
poverty, but we’ll take care of you forever and in exchange, you’ll agree to
vote for us.”
D’Souza went on to
talk about money and wealth, and the differing
approaches between Democrats and Republicans when it comes to that:
“Lincoln argued people
have the right to keep the fruit of their labor, and more than 150 years later,
the Republican Party stands for keeping the fruits of your labor, and the
Democratic Party “stands for wealth confiscation,” he explained.
D’Souza conveys some
very compelling points that make a great deal of sense. And no political
party should be a gangster or bully. Certainly that shouldn’t happen in the
United States and in 2018. Democrats need to work instead to heal the rifts and
mend fences, rather than creating even more problems than those that already
exist.
