The Left, the Wall, and the Truth

ESPERANZA, TEXAS - JANUARY 15: The border wall is seen on January 15, 2019 in Esperanza, Texas. The U.S. government is partially shut down as President Donald Trump is asking for $5.7 billion to build additional walls along the U.S.-Mexico border and the Democrats oppose the idea.

In this article, Dennis Prager teaches about the wall and the truth:

Democrats and others on the left offer three reasons for their opposition to building a wall on America’s southern border.

  1. A wall is ineffective.
  2. A wall is too expensive.
  3. A wall is immoral.

Each one is false, so false as to constitute lies. So, the only question is: Do Democrats and others on the left believe these lies?

This question has plagued me all my life. Leftism is built on lies—and has been since Lenin. That’s why he named the Communist Party’s lying newspaper “Pravda” (“truth”).

Did my left-wing professors at Columbia University really believe the United States and the Soviet Union were equally responsible for the Cold War? Did they really believe one of the most genocidal regimes in history—which butchered tens of millions its own people, starved as many as 4 million Ukrainians, enslaved seven Eastern European countries under totalitarian rule, and created the monstrous North Korean communist regime—was no more responsible for the Cold War than the United States, the freest country in human history?

Did my left-wing professors really believe men and women are the same except for body parts? And do today’s leftists really believe human beings with double X chromosomes, a vagina, a uterus, ovaries, menstrual periods, and lactating breasts are not necessarily female?

Do leftists really believe American universities constitute “rape cultures”? If so, why does any left-wing parent send his or her child to college? Would you send your daughter to a place you believe is permeated by rape?

Do leftists really believe that the statement “There is only one race: the human race” is a racist statement? That is the official position of the University of California.
