Bob Just claims to be a Democrat, but he claims to have worked with the decidedly not-Democrat Sean Hannity, and all he does is tell people to vote Republican. It’s a highly dishonest schtick he has been plying at WND for years. He did it yet again in a Nov. 4 column:
We regular Democrats can prevent disaster only one way – by voting Republican like our future depends on it. Because it does – as I warned fellow Democrats 24 years ago in a column called “Fascism, corruption and my ‘Democratic’ Party.”
It’s truer now than ever.
Our party leaders are playing with fire, a fire called hate. I wish I could say they don’t
understand the damage they are doing to our country, but I think they do understand and don’t care, and worse, plan to stoke those flames, win or lose – to fundamentally subvert America.If Antifa street mobs used epithets like Nazi or Hitler, that’s no surprise. But watching top Democrats do so is unthinkable. But even those examples barely touch what’s happening to our party – thanks to our leaders – who have become genuine purveyors of hate and fear, all to scare voters away from the very man who can rescue this great country.
Just seems ignorant of the fact that the outlet that publishes his column spent years smearing Barack Obama as a Nazi or Hitler. By contrast, Just appears to be eager to identify his supposedly fellow Democrats as communists and Marxists. He continued:
I watched that Trump event at Madison Square Garden. Like Trump, I’m a native New Yorker. I love my city, and “the Garden,” as we call it, is a special place. I saw it filled with a huge crowd of joyful folks from the Tri-State area. It was a multi-racial love fest, and yet a friend of mine called it a “Tiki Torch” rally – sight unseen – based on what someone told her. (No one told her about the Israeli flags flying in the crowd.)
Some Democrats believe the left’s ugly labels for Trump voters, from “deplorables” and “garbage” to “racist” and even “Nazis.” It’s all meant to divide us from our fellow Americans who happen to be Republicans. Our leadership needs to scare us into unthinking party ranks – us against them, no matter what – so they can bank our votes while they dismantle our country right before our eyes.
This is what we face now as Americans. Lies built upon lies to scare us, not told by Antifa bullies but by prominent Democrats – even presidential candidates. And sadly, believed by millions of uninformed, overly emotional, rank-and-file members.
Why? Because accusations have power – the more outrageous the better, since who can imagine anyone saying such things if they weren’t true? It’s too weird.
No mention, of course, of Trump’s outrageous smear of anyone who criticizes him as being part of the “enemy from within” and his desire to unleash the military on them. He then praised Trump’s Madison Square Garden and thinks the speakers were telling the truth:
It’s no surprise that some Democrats fall victim to scare tactics, or that a perfectly nice young woman could think a big Trump rally meant “Tiki Torches,” while all I could think of was “revival.”
I don’t mean necessarily an historic Christian revival, but rather what could be called a truth awakening or a commonsense awakening. Whether a Christian believer or not, people who love truth naturally believe it exists, and they pursue it. They enjoy being around others on the same journey, and dialoguing with them. And together they delight to witness what’s true and beautiful about life, not to mention laughing at what’s genuinely funny (a key ingredient to Trump’s popularity).
Clearly those people at the Madison Square Garden rally believed in that “truth journey” and were celebrating it along with Donald Trump (and family), Elon Musk, Tucker Carson, Dr. Phil, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and many more, including 20,000 joyful MAGA folks.
Musk, Carlson and Kennedy are known liars — and Trump himself told numerous falsehoods — so it’s unlikely a “truth journey” would find any fruit here. He concluded by warning about fearmongering — then fearmongered himself:
If traditional Americans lose this election, it will be more important than ever to doubt the dividers and to stand strong together for our great country across party lines, gathering others to our side to resist the anti-American forces within our country and within the leadership of my party. Hate, fear, envy and division are their primary weapons, but regular Democrats can and must join their Republican brothers and sisters in saying no – as publicly as possible.
However, if voters once again say yes to Donald J. Trump, we’ll be witnessing a political miracle with huge implications. Think of all the lies thrown at him, and the subversive efforts. Even a slim margin of victory would be a true “people’s apology.”
Yes, at first, there may be an angry reaction. We may see disruptive marches or “outlaw” resistance or Antifa-type violence or perhaps even subversion from within our own government. But then I hope, thanks to the patriotic spirit of the MAGA movement, Americans of all persuasions might also start to see their relationship with fellow countrymen in a new light, as what we are – a national family.
Of course, my party’s corrupt leaders and their influencers will still call MAGA “racist,” despite what we truly are, a joyful multi-racial patriotic movement. You could think of this political phenomenon as a “red rainbow” (a real natural phenomenon) which represents to me what millions of Americans, especially the young, must long to see in our national future. First, the rainbow as a biblical symbol is beautiful and deeply touching, reminding us of hope and of God’s mercy. But second, in the simple modern context, it represents people of all races coming together, in this case, red-blooded Americans who share a love of freedom and a desire to reclaim Martin Luther King’s dream.
What we witnessed at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally (and at his rallies across the country) could lead to a genuine national healing. Yes, when it comes to politics, we may think they don’t care about us. And yes, they may think we don’t care about them. But what if we’re both wrong? What if we can stand together, unified once again?
Perhaps Trump is the one who needs to be making a “people’s apology” for all the lies he’s told. But just is clearly embedded in the Trump cult — and despite his repeated insistence, he’s definitely not a Democrat.
