Meet the Alt-Left

By Katie Kieffer Alt-right is becoming a term of soft bigotry whereas alt-left" accurately describes the political ideology of todays Democratic Party. Alt-right is short for alternative right" Hillary Clinton recently told a crowd of college students in Reno NV. She continued: Race-baiting ideas. Anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant ideasthese are all key tenets making up an emerging racist ideology known as the alt-right. Hillary is only correct in stating that alt-right is short for alternative right. Historically the term emerged from a desire for an alternative to mainstream conservatism along the vein of Patrick J. Buchanans libertarian-conservatism. Today Democrats and the press use the term alt-right" pejoratively implying that if you support Donald Trump youre a white supremacist. A strong offense is the best defense when fighting bullies. Today our offense is to turn Hillarys words against her. She and her ilk are the alternative-left. They have fallen away from the pragmatic Democratic ideals of John F. Kennedy and embraced a radical power at any cost" fringe philosophy of Saul Alinsky and Bill Ayers. Alt-Left Extremist Behavior: Here are a few examples of the radical measures that todays Democratic Party supports that indicate they have morphed into a fringe group: 1.) Ignoring Science: Science-denier" is the modern Democrats middle name. Hillary Clinton opposed the construction of the Keystone Pipeline even though her own State Department thricedeclared it to be environmentally safe. 2.) Pretending States Dont Exist: Obamas administration sued Arizona forexercising its own immigration laws; North Carolina over its bathroom laws. Obamas administration also used aggressive and excessive measures to challenge Californias state authority on medical marijuana. 3.) Coddling Thugs Killing Free Speech: SyedRizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik stormed a gun free zone in San Bernardino CA last Decemberfatally shooting 14 individuals and injuring 24.  U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch threatened to prosecute anyone who dared say anything that could be in any way construed as anti-Muslimdespite Farook and Malik being radicalized jihadist Muslims. 4.) Crushing Bakeries and Pizzerias: Obama doesnt think you can build a layered wedding cake on your own" let alone open your own bakery. So its not entirely surprising that his administration wouldnt intervene when alt-left protesters put a bakery out of business when the owner practiced her 1st Amendment right to free speech. 5.) No ID to Vote: You must show an ID to withdraw cash from a bank; buy cigarettes; purchase alcohol; patronize a bar or dance club; buy ammo; or use your credit card at the U.S. Post Officebut the government doesnt want to know who is voting. Could politicians want to hide their attempts to buy votes from illegal immigrants? 6.) Double Standards: If a Marine had access to classified material he or she would be Court-Martialed for failing to follow basic security procedures with that material. If that Marine deleted tens of thousands of potentially jeopardized emails before turning over her emails to the FBI she would likely spend a decade in jail. Not Hillary Clinton! Shes the Queen of the Alt-Left which means shes above the law. 7.) Normalizing Child Abuse: As president I will always have your back" Hillary recently told Planned Parenthood. Democrats support using taxpayer dollars to fund the murder of a baby during the final months of pregnancy (partial-birth abortion) despite the baby showing signs of life and viability. In this objectively cruel procedure the babys skull is punctured with a sharp surgical tool and its brain is suctioned inducing the collapse of the babys skull and ultimately the childs death. 8.) Security Blankets for College Students:Democrats want taxpayers to subsidize safe spaces" so that students do not encounter intellectual diversity. The alt-left wants us to bankroll silly laws (think California Gov. Jerry Browns Just Say No" law designed to stop rape on college campuses) that prevent students from exercising their 2^nd Amendment right to carry concealed. Result: college students cry and stamp their feet when a professor corrects their grammar errors. Yes thishappened at the University of California at Los Angeles. Reality Check on Term Alt-Right" Polls show more Americans agree with Donald Trump on immigration than Hillary Clinton. If youre in a majority youby definitioncant be in a marginal or fringe" group. Clintons claim that Trump supporters are small-minded relies on the assumption that most Americansnot just Trump fansare hateful bigots. Many swing voters are more frustrated with the Democratic Party than the Republican Party.Quinnipiac reports that Hillarys edge over Trump has fallen 19 points among Millennials in the past month. Its hard for 20-somethings to see their trusted hero Sen. Bernie Sanders stumping for the same woman he once called a sellout to the biggest money on Wall Street. We yearn for an alternative to big-spenders and big-cavers in the GOP who call themselves strong fiscal conservatives" only to pass $1.15 trillion spending budgets. Were tired of the false hope and broken promises. Even though we may vote for Trumpwho is an outsider" that has butted heads with GOP elites like Speaker Paul Ryan (WI) and Sen. Ben Sasse (NE)it doesnt mean were alt-right" or  alternative right-wing" in the way Hillary Clinton describes. We dont fit nicely into her basket of deplorables." We want common-sense border control because we care about national security. Thats not racistits loving toward both ourselves and those entering our country as visitors. Many of us have Arab Hispanic or Black heritage. We simply do not like Hillarys immigration plans such as welcoming 65000 loosely-vetted immigrants from terror hotbeds like Syria. Dont let anyone call you alt-right" in the sense that Hillary Clinton uses the term. The real radicals are todays Democrats who deserve to wear the scornful banner of alt-left."
