The Post Backs Fake Democracy

More Misinformation from the Media:

Although his audience was the European Parliament, French President Emmanuel Macron articulated truths on Tuesday that resonate for the entire globe. Nationalism and authoritarianism are on the march. Democracy as an ideal and in practice seems to be under siege. The United States, traditionally a beacon of freedom, has dimmed the light, at least for a time. Mr. Macron filled the gap with a thoughtful and bracing warning. . . .

He declared that Europe is being torn by the rise of “national selfishness and negativity” and a growing fascination with the illiberal.” In particular, he warned of the kind of anti-migrant authoritarianism on display recently in the Hungarian elections and fashionable among far-right parties in Europe.

Mr. Macron’s address was a needed summons. . . . Irresponsibly, President Trump cannot find a voice for such essential principles. In this vacuum, it would be reassuring to her German Chancellor Angela Merkel be more outspoken, as well as others who lead Democratic societies. – Leaders Worldwide are Falling for a “deadly Illusion” — Editorial Board, The Washington Post, 4/18/18.

Fact Checker: Democracy certainly was not under siege in Hungary where voters gave Prime Minister Victor Orban’s Fidesz party a two-thirds majority in that country’s parliament. Orban and Fidesz campaigned on the platform of keeping foreign migrants—particularly Muslims—from overrunning Hungary and erasing its national culture and identity.

The Post’s editorialists, like most mass immigration advocates, mislabel this sensible and moderate position as “far-right”—as if there is something extremist about people wanting to preserve their culture, heritage, and national identity. This is not “selfishness,” it is self-preservation. The demographic chaos proposed by migration advocates is the real extremist position.

The Post’s editorialists twist language even more with their Orwellian use of word “democracy.” The common usage is where the majority of people in a country freely exercise self-rule. Throughout much of the Western world this genuine democracy is truly what is under siege. Elitists with post-national agendas use government to stifle dissent against mass immigration and media to confuse and deceive the rank and file of people.

A perfect example is President Macron of France, a country lacking the constitutional protections of freedom that Americans enjoy. In France, people who speak out against the Muslim colonization of their country risk heavy fines or even prison—and being a prominent public official is no protection. Just recently Marine Le Pen, the leader of France’s immigration restriction party, was charged with tweeting photos of Muslim atrocities. If convicted of this “crime” she will face up to three years in prison and a fine of 75,000 euros. The spectacle of Macron complaining about authoritarianism is truly laughable.

Germans under the regime of Angela Merkle are no better off. In Germany, with her encouragement, police harass critics of mass immigration. It seems that they are more dedicated to that task than protecting German citizens from migrant criminals.

The “democracy” endorsed by Macron, Merkle, and their ilk is pure sham. It seeks to maintain the outward forms of free representative government while ruling political and economic elites twist outcomes to their benefit. It should concern patriotic freedom-loving Americans that this is the “democracy” that the Post advocates for our country.
