Opinion: Why Democrats Choose Death Over Life

By John F. Di Leo, Opinion Contributor

Why?

It is the eternal question, the question we ask the most. And sometimes the hardest to answer.

Animals don’t ask “why.” People do.

And for people who follow American politics, the “why” we ask most may be this one: Why do Democrats support the crazy-quilt mish-mash of policies that make up the current Democrat agenda?

An illiterate illegal alien makes an illegal U-turn on a highway, killing three innocent people, and today’s Democrats side with the truck driver. We see a gang of thugs ransack a store and put it out of business, and today’s Democrats side with the thugs rather than with the innocent shopkeeper and his now-unemployed staff. A young man calls himself a girl and forces his way into a girls’ basketball game, hurting multiple girls, some with career-ending injuries, and today’s Democrats side with the bully.

Why?

It wasn’t always this way.

There was a time, less than a couple of generations ago, when the two parties both advocated for the same general results. We all agreed on certain desires: Good schools, safe neighborhoods, secure borders, access to a middle-class lifestyle. The freedom to attend the church or synagogue of your choice, and a few bucks in your pocket to enjoy your hobbies on the weekend.

The two parties had different ways of getting there, of course – different tax policies, different levels of confidence in the public and private sectors to manage things. But they both generally agreed on the desired end result.

Today, while the Republicans still support a coherent platform, Democrats have changed, to say the least.

Today’s Democrats – with the mandatory fervor they call “intersectionality” – all support such apparently disjointed issues as open borders and free government money for illegal aliens, the transformation of farmland into miles of solar panels (even in the rainy, snowy, cloudy north). They support government-funded abortion-on-demand, and crippling taxes that drive employers out of state, out of country or out of business.

Today’s Democrats all support allowing boys in dresses to compete in school sports against girls, share locker rooms and bathrooms with girls, and take their athletic scholarships and trophies away from girls.

Today’s Democrats insist that foreign gangs be allowed to rule our inner cities, that foreign terrorists be allowed to terrorize students in our colleges, that abusive doctors, teachers and shrinks be allowed to talk sad children into having life-destroying “trans” surgeries that will leave them depressed, sick, and sterile for life.

Why?

For a political party to embrace even one such issue is hard to believe; for a party to champion all these, and still more outrages like these, is unfathomable.

But so they do. And our question, again, is Why?

Well, there is a reason, a reason we all see clearly if we read between the lines, though we don’t like to think about it.

There is one common thread tying all these issues together. But it is real, and once you see it, it’s unmistakable. A single unifying result that all these disparate policies share.

If you mess up a young adult, or even a little child, with surgeries and drugs, long before he or she can ever reproduce, rendering his or her genitalia forever ineffective, you’ve rendered him or her as sterile as if you’d performed a vasectomy or hysterectomy. Why would you do that?

Why support the non-prosecution of violent criminals? Why do they let criminals out loose, knowing what those criminals do when they have their freedom, increasing the odds of that much more rape, more abuse, more murder, which invariably results in more poverty, more rapists, more abusers, more murderers, more abortions?

Why do the Democrats fight so hard to allow illegal third world aliens – people who’ve never had a vaccine, people often riddled with communicable diseases, people who are terribly dangerous drivers on our highways, people who are disproportionately likely to be brutal thugs and killers and drug dealers? Why attract these populations to our cities, endangering everyone from fellow drivers to pedestrians to schoolchildren to neighbors?

Why do the Democrats agitate to take over our productive farmland, and turn it all into so-called solar farms and wind farms, when we all know these sources cannot produce any real net energy (they do produce energy, of course, but never as much as their production, transportation, installation and operation consumed)? We ask ourselves, why do they insist on taking over good agricultural land, rendering it impossible to grow crops on it when the world is starving for the food we could be producing?

For that matter, why switch to energy sources that GUARANTEE brownouts and blackouts that kill the refrigeration in food warehouses and food processing plants, so that millions of pounds of food are destroyed, and that can jeopardize or kill the critical power in hospitals and nursing homes, so that operations can’t take place? Why keep killing off our perfectly functional, productive power plants like natural gas, coal and nuclear, in favor of these useless wind farms and solar farms, knowing that it means that the poor – from infants to elderly – sometimes die of extreme temperatures because they don’t have steady, dependable heat or air conditioning?

Now on top of all that, add the push for homosexuality – which intentionally doesn’t reproduce, and the discouragement of marriage – which means longer periods of single life and therefore less likelihood of reproduction – and trans surgery which ensures sterility, again, so there’s no reproduction.

After these examples, we don’t have to ask the question of why the Democrats support abortion and euthanasia, do we?

We might also ask why the Democrats have recently turned so hard against the Judeo-Christian family of religions, peaceful and family-oriented as they are, religions that strongly encourage couples to procreate, to bring new children into the world to grow up as hopefully good citizens and examples of their faith.

Is it because today’s Democrats are atheist? No, it’s not that simple. The Democrats of today do have a religion; it’s just not the religion they used to share.

Today’s Democrats have joined the depopulation movement. Their embarrassment at humanity – and at being humans themselves – leaves them with such a sense of guilt that the only way they feel they can make up for their wretched existence is if they advocate for alternate ways to reduce the population of the world.

The environmentalist extremists, the militant vegetarians, the marxists, the luddites, the open borders lunatics and the mask mandators. They all have one thing in common.

Depopulation.

By intent or by accident, by law or by choice. By hook or by crook.

The modern Left simply HATES humanity.

It isn’t that they don’t mind if people starve; it’s that they feel obliged to make sure people starve. It isn’t that they don’t mind if people can’t power their medical equipment at hospital, their heater in the winter, their A/C in the summer; it’s that they feel compelled to guarantee the outages.

On every substantive issue, however unique the subject from the rest, the Democrats have found a way to choose the side of the argument that results in more death, and in later and later family starts, or preferably, in no family starts at all.

The Democratic Party not only wants everyone to die eventually, they support policies guaranteeing that it happens sooner rather than later.

For many years, because of leftist advocacy of abortion and euthanasia, the Right has been referring to Democrats as “The Party of Death,” but the absolute accuracy in that name, the real reasons and now unmistakable philosophy behind it, have never before been this clear.
