Senator Warren Deserves to Don a Civics Dunce Cap

Senator Elizabeth Warren is either a Civics dunce or a Democrat demagouge


During her recent remarks before the Cap Ideas Conference, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) cited Hillary Clinton's loss in the 2016 Presidential race as a negative indication that America has a healthy democracy. 






It is astounding that a sitting Senator is either so ignorant to not know that the USA is a constitutional Republic with democratic suffrage and an Electoral College or that she is such a demagouge who will blur such distinctions for political advantage. 

Some deride Senator Warren as being Fauxcahontas for her questionable genealogical claims of being a Native American.  A more apt sobriquet may well be Sitting Bull.  

Nevertheless, for Senator Warren's democrat demogougery, the former Harvard Law professor deserves to don a Civics Dunce Cap.

DNC Chair Tom Perez Reveals Himself as a Constitutional Dunce

DNC Chair Tom Perez Claims Constitution Does Not Require Electoral College

During a speech at the University of Indiana Law School, Democrat National Chairman Tom Perez claimed that the Constitution did not create the Electoral College.  

Progressives have tried to minimize President Trump's election by citing the fact that he did not win the popular vote. Be that as it may, that is inconsequential because Electoral College votes are allocated from each state based upon a winner take all (with the exception of Maine and Nebraska). In the 2016 Electoral College Vote,  Republican Donald Trump won with 304 Electoral College votes to Democrat Hillary Clinton with 227 votes with seven faithless electors (Two from Mr. Trump and five which should have gone to Mrs. Clinton).

As Mr. Perez graduated cum laud at Harvard Law and also earned a Masters Degree from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, it is hard to believe that he did not know that the Electoral College was entrenched in Article II of the Constitution, and its methodology was modified by the Twelfth Amendment after the messy election of 1800 and also the Twenty-Third Amendment (1961) enfranchising DC in Presidential elections.  Perhaps in those Ivory Towers of Education, they look down at the Electoral College as just being a "party school".



The contemporary trend in legal studies, however, claims that the Constitution is a living document which can be changed to suit today's day and age.  Yet legitimate legal arguments can not ignore what is in plain text.  

A political propagandist once observed that: "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it ." Of course, most people do not like to be associated with the German Third Reich fascist political philosophy of Joseph Goebbels. 

Based on the DNC Chair's inaccurate assertion, Tom Perez proved himself to be a Constitutional Dunce and strongly indicated that he is just a party hack, trying to claim victory by any means necessary.

Taking the Tinseltown Rebellion to Task for Hypocritical Hyperventilation Over Trump's Inauguration

Ben Shaprio on Hollywood's Hypocritical Histrionics Over the Trump Inauguration



On January 20th, 2017, Donald Trump takes the Executive Oath of Office to become the 45th President of the United States.  Alas, some celebutards just cannot accept that he got the part.  There have been star studded appeal to deny the winner of the 2016 Presidential Election the rightly designated votes in the Electoral College.  Ironically, Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton (D-NY) lost more Electoral College votes from unfaithful delegates than President-Elect Donald Trump,  and he still won the Electoral College majority by 34 votes.

As the 114th Congress was called into session, Hollywood hypocrites released a histrionic plea to Congress to Obstruct  the Trump Administration from doing anything that denies "our core values as diverse Ameicans"-- whatever that meant.  




Was that intended to impede immigration reforms?  Are such illegal aliens politically considered "diverse Americans without papers".  Or was it a subtext to imply that Donald Trump will attack LGBTQQ? advances in civic society.  Pretty ironic to aim attacks at a Republican Presidential candidate who unfurled a Rainbow colored flag during a general election campaign event.

To mark the ascent of Donald Trump from being the real estate mogul host of the Celebrity Apprentice to the Oval Office, Variety published a protest photo op featuring CNN's communist commentator Van Jones, Michael Moore, Lena Dunham Chelsea Handler and Hamilton's Brandon Victor Dixon hiding behind an American flag.   In the The Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro gave this Tinseltown cohort have it.




No wonder Americans just get sick when they see covers like the one from Variety. Michael Moore posing with the flag – the same person who said that Trump supporters are “legal terrorists” but that actual terrorists are “Minutemen” – makes most Americans queasy. Treating Lena Dunham like a moral voice -- despite her ardent love for abortion and her overt bragging about masturbating next to her 11-year-old sister in bed – makes Americans nauseated. Acting as though Chelsea Handler – a woman who said she should be applauded for her two abortions – as a beacon of light is disgusting.

Since Donald Trump's election on November 8th, the progressive mind seems to be melting down.  Some may find solace in a last gasp Women's March protest the day after the Inauguration.  Other more anarchistic elements may seek to disrupt the peaceful transition of power which has happened in America for the last 220 years.  But it seems that celebutards think that they can pompously parade their progressive philosophy and the hoi polloi will eat it up, even though it is liberal logorrhrea.

I second Ben Shapiro's call for Hollywood to keep it up as it builds off of Mark Twain's wisdom: "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people thing that you are a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt."
