Some notable quotes from last week's Dem presidential debate

Dennis Prager watched the last Democrat presidential debate so you wouldn't have to.  I've edited his piece below:

 

The last debate among 10 Democrats seeking their party's nomination for president set a new low for demagoguery, contempt for America and just plain foolishness.  Some examples:

Andrew Yang: "In America today, everything revolves around the almighty dollar -- our schools, our hospitals, our media, even our government."

For the vast majority of Americans this view couldn't be more wrong.  But certainly there's a group of Americans who will do anything for money--like Hilliary and Bill giving speeches for $400,000 a pop.  Like Elizabeth Warren claiming to be a Native American to get a $250,000 per year teaching position at Harvard.  Like former media darling Michael Avenatti, who appeared on Trump-hating cable channels MSNBC and CNN 75 times in a single week--and who had defrauded dozens of his law clients out of millions of dollars, and is now facing dozens of fraud charges

Kamala Harris: "President Trump, you've spent the last two-and-a-half years full-time trying to sow hate and division among us ..."

But in fact it's the left that has been "trying to sow hate and division among us," not just for the last two-and-a-half years but for the last 50.  It is the left that has sneered at the idea of America as a "melting pot." It is the left that has defined Americans by their race and ethnicity.

Kamala Harris again: "The vast majority of us have so much more in common than what separates us, regardless of our race, where we live or the party with which we're registered to vote."

The Left loves this meme because it's so warm and fuzzy.  And 50 years ago it was true.  But starting around 1986 the Left has been ramping up its hate campaign against ordinary Americans, with the result that after the 2016 election the Left has constantly screamed that every American who voted for Donald Trump or supports him is a racist and a white supremacist.  If Harris believes the Left's screams that Trump supporters are deplorable, how can the two sides have much in common?

The only thing that the left and the non-left have in common is that we're all homo sapiens.  But in terms of values we are completely, utterly different.

Elizabeth Warren: "I've actually never met anybody who likes their health insurance company."

One can only marvel at the ease with which leftists lie. In Warren's case, she had decades of practice, having to be Native American to snag a professor-ship at Harvard. But the fact is, tens of millions of Americans liked their health insurance company just fine.  This was so obviously true that former emperor Barack Hussein Obama thought it would be helpful to utter a brazen lie in order to help his ghastly "Affordable Care Act" (Obamacare) pass.  That lie was 

If you like your health insurance, you can keep your health insurance.

But Warren--like all the other Dem presidential candidates--is pushing for the government to run ALL medical care, for everyone.  It follows that they must try to convince Americans that no one ever liked private health insurance.

Bernie Sanders: "'Medicare-for-All' ... allows you to go to any doctor you want."

The obvious question is: How is that possible?  Say an oncologist in Dallas is widely known as the best in the nation, so tens of thousands of Americans want to see him, either because they or a loved one had cancer.  How would Medicare for All make that happen? 

Desired goods and services aren't available in unlimited quantities.  If not rationed by cost, they'll be rationed by...connections.  The "elites" will get it, you won't.

 

Again, leftists will say anything to further their agenda.

Beto O'Rourke: "Racism in America is endemic. ... It is found in our education system, where in Texas, a 5-year-old child in kindergarten is five times as likely to be disciplined or suspended or expelled based on the color of their skin."

The left claims that disparate results is "proof" American racism:  They claim America is so racist that even kindergarten teachers and school principals --people who overwhelmingly vote Democrat-- discipline and expel black students more than non-black students because they are black, not because a small percentage of black students are disruptive at rates far higher than their percentage in the classroom. 

Joe Biden: "Nobody should be in jail for a nonviolent crime."

Tell us, Democrats:  If you like that idea, how do you propose to discourage people from robbery, embezzlement, fraud, VOTE fraud, selling illegal drugs and the like?

Biden's statement should prove that he shouldn't be a serious candidate.
