Red States: Our Last Bastion of Defense
By Richard Moss
These are treacherous times. Our principal institutions have been overtaken by the left. However dysfunctional and disturbed they may be, leftists rule us, and they grow more authoritarian and imperious as we speak.
The latest example of their audacity and command of our dominant institutions is the response to Georgia's modest election law (S.B. 202 or the Election Integrity Act). It included ID requirements for mail-in ballots, banned the practice of giving food or water to voters in line at polling stations, limited the number of "drop boxes," and shortened early voting, none of which was racial or restrictive in the least. But the carefully orchestrated mass rollout of hair-on-fire outrage was classic leftist agitprop, perfected through the decades. So absurd were the accusations that, absent an utterly compliant press, a political movement could never get away with it.
Shortly after Governor Brian Kemp signed the bill into law, President Joe Biden on ESPN referred to it as "Jim Crow on steroids" and supported Major League Baseball moving the All-Star Game out of Atlanta, where it was scheduled this year. MLB rolled over instantly. This year's summer classic also planned to honor the memory of Hank Aaron, one of baseball's greatest players, who passed away recently and played with the Atlanta Braves. That Hank Aaron was a black man and that Atlanta is a heavily black-majority city that would be negatively impacted by the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars seemed not an afterthought. Biden later called the bill "sick," "un-American," and an "atrocity." Former president Barack Obama agreed with the sentiments, as did the entire Democrat party apparatus and its poodle media.
