New in PJ Media:
If you still think it’s hyperbole and hysteria to say that the left hates America, check out the 2024 Democratic Party Platform.
“Our nation,” the platform states, “is at an inflection point. What kind of America will we be? A land of more freedom, or less freedom? More rights or fewer?” That’s actually not a bad place to start a statement of basic principles, for this election is indeed shaping up to be a choice between more freedom or less, albeit not in the way that the Democratic party would have you believe.
This “inflection point” statement, however, is not the first item in the Democratic Party Platform. The first thing you see when you start reading the Democratic Party Platform, the very first thing that the Democrats want you to know, is that America is on stolen land. The message is clear: Go home, white colonizer!
The first item in the 2024 platform of America’s majority party is the “Democratic National Convention Land Acknowledgement.” Land acknowledgments, which are basically statements of colonialist guilt and assertions that some particular parcel of land actually belongs to someone other than those who occupy it and own the deed, became trendy a few years ago, as our Age of Absurdity reached new heights of ridiculousness. They’re common, as you’d expect, on the websites of colleges and universities. The platform’s land acknowledgment is a trifle more gingerly stated than such things usually are, but its upshot is nonetheless unmistakable.
“The Democratic National Committee,” the land acknowledgment begins, “wishes to acknowledge that we gather together to state our values on lands that have been stewarded through many centuries by the ancestors and descendants of Tribal Nations who have been here since time immemorial.”
This is carefully worded. Instead of saying outright that the land belongs to the Tribal Nations, or was taken from them, as most land acknowledgments do, the platform says that the Democratic National Convention is taking place on lands that “have been stewarded” by the Tribal Nations.
The platform is quite specific about whose land the Chicago area really is, or at least who “stewarded” that land: “While we meet in Chicago, we also recognize and honor the traditional homelands of the Anishinaabe, also known as the Council of the Three Fires: the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations. We acknowledge the many other tribes who consider this area their traditional homeland, including the Myaamia, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Sac and Fox, Peoria, Kaskaskia, Wea, Kickapoo, and Mascouten.” The Democrats remain tactfully silent about how the Ojibwe drove the Ho-Chunk out of what is now known as Wisconsin, and about other warfare between the various sainted Tribal Nations on their list.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Very nice! But the democrats in NYC don’t seem to recognize land ownership when a squatter moves into a house that is getting fixed up by the owner and refuses to leave. This results in a lengthy, sometimes many years, eviction process to the detriment of the owner. The taxpayer also has to finance “the system,” of many court appearances involving a hotbed of perjury on 5he part of the squatter,

The “stolen land” nicely pairs up with Marx’s abolishment of private property.

Those tribal people didn’t originate in the Americas themselves: in ancient times, they crossed over from Eastern Siberia. So maybe we could have conversations w/ Putin on uniting all tribal nations both sides of the Bering Strait?
Oh, I forgot, the Dems hate the president of the country that these tribes originated from!

Adam and Eve, given a Garden; forfeited the right to live there. The rest of the earth was free to anyone who happened to get born and lived long enough to move about.
Then, God gave Land to Israel, the descendants of Abraham. The rest of the earth remained free to anyone who happened to be born and lived long enough to move about.
In olden times, the “Tribes” of people living in the now USA, didn’t consider that they *owned* the land, but that it was to be respected and they were to care for it and the animals who lived therein. The tribes who were wanderers, moving and following the moving food….antelope, buffalo, etc….had set patterns of where they lived.
And they fought among themselves; they captured members of other tribes and made slaves of them.
If they had formed governments such as people did in other places, they would have made newcomers adhere to their laws and rules. But they didn’t.
None of these idiots of the dnc want to acknowledge that they can’t give back what was said to have been ‘taken away from the rightful owners’ centuries ago.
On the one hand, they preach evolution and survival of the fittest,
and…contrarily…. on the other hand, they speak loudly about ‘reparations’ and making current populations ‘pay back’ to the descendants of the Tribes, and the Black slaves money and land, as if the current White population has no rights whatsoever.
It is just one of their ways to keep the pot boiling and to lie and pretend that they care.

More rewriting of history to fit their narrative. I wonder how many of these fine people live in gated communities.

Their plan is no one but the elite few will own private property or private transportation. We will all work for the greater cause. Sound familiar Comrade.
