Many Harris voters are just gullible. If you are not a sworn liberation theologist, Marxist, or Trump hater by default, how gullible must you be to vote for Harris? Signs up, I wonder. She claims to be everything to everyone, speaks in many tongues, and plays a wizard and fool, but is a deceiver by nature. Everything from her words to her body language say so, betray her.
A chameleon turns different colors to match its surroundings. Sadly, some politicians do that. They modify a core message to fit their crowd. That’s bad, but what about no message?
How many Harris voters fail to ask themselves basic questions – yet imagine what they think is what she thinks? That is the rub, the problem, the danger, the feint.
Many Democrat voters want to think the best of our electoral system and their candidates, but critical thinking is what elections require, what our Founders thought we would always apply.
Pouring hopes, imagined outcomes, and personal preferences into an empty vessel – no plans, no achievements, and markers of deceit, laziness, hostility to liberty, and prejudice – is not just naïve. It is dangerous. Harris voters accept her non-speak, populate her nothing, and should not.
In C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia, the white witch cleverly, deceitfully, happily invites a child to eat her “Turkish Delight.” The child does, loses right from wrong, and betrays others. Once we choose to ask no questions, trust the untrustworthy, imagine, and not think, we are in danger.
We are there. As a nation, we must see this race more clearly. If you are a Harris supporter or undecided, consider what you are seeing. Pretend Trump does not exist, no personal battles involving pride, just observe the candidate, largely unvetted. What are you voting for?
At best, a continuation of Biden, who caused a terrible slide in every American’s fortunes at home and abroad. But the real answer – once you ask the question – turns out to be more unnerving, unsettling to a critical thinker, serious about the options.
Who is Harris? Politically ambitious, not grounded, daughter of legal immigrants, someone who should appreciate American values, but does she? Her parents did not find America hospitable, and strongly protested against it, a point she makes a virtue. She lived in Canada until age 18.
What about religion? Is there one, or is she agnostic – or atheist? Liberation theologists – her parents’ identity – are, by definition. Whatever she believes about God – or does not – is her view firmly held? Is it serious or a giggle?
Is that too harsh? When she declines to attend events honoring those of religious conviction, seems anti-Catholic, and her cheerleaders – like Governor Whitmer in Michigan, who grossly mocked Christians who receive communion – demean those of faith, the “deplorables,” who is she? History teaches that godless leaders are bad leaders, whatever their motives.
Is it too much to ask a future president, that faith be honored, especially for a Nation with 240 million Christians? Even many illegals think of themselves as Christian, law-breaking aside.
So, what is Harris’ faith? She claims everything from Hinduism to liberation theology, Christian branches to endorsements from Muslim leaders, and has a Jewish husband but fails Israel and Jews suffering antisemitism here. So what is she?
Truth is, like much of her stone-skipping biography, there is less than meets the eye. She was vice president in what historians may one day describe as the most corrupt, ineffectual, damaging administration in modern American history.
She has been untruthful and ineffective, allowing violent criminals, and drug and human traffickers free reign. What would change? She was “in the room” when they got shipped to all 50 states. She spent trillions on senseless programs no one wanted, mandates, and subsidies for everything.
If there is a handbook for undermining America – from Afghanistan, Ukraine, China, and the Mideast to opening the border, defunding police, favoring illegals over veterans, disempowering parents, and remaking schools as activist centers – Harris has followed it.
On top of these fails, she tried to cancel and prosecute her critics, pushed reduced 1st and 2nd Amendment protections, and undermined the Supreme Court, personal and national security.
Ask yourself, what do you know? What do her actions, power consolidation, ducking the media, reversing herself, harassing parents, police, energy producers, small businesses, Christians, Jews, churchgoers, those who speak out, gun owners, and those who want limited government … tell you? Bottom line: Be aware, thoughtful, and not be gullible, Harris is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a feint.
