In today’s American Thinker.

A report from the Democratic Socialist Peoples Republic of Vermont

Recently, the state of Vermont announced that pension and health benefits for state employees and teachers are underfunded to the tune of $4.5 billion (in a tiny state of just 627,180 residents).  Then, in protest against Trump administration rule changes, it diverted some $750,000 from state coffers (each year, indefinitely) to fund abortion services through Planned Parenthood rather than continue to accept federal subsidies which had been proffered since 1970…

Read it all…

A comment that I made.

Many Vermonters are voting with their feet and moving vans.

Teachers pensions are underfunded.  After a career of indoctrinating our youth in the religion of climate change. Teaching American history according Howard Zinn. And just dumbing them down in general. I would play for them a sad song on the worlds smallest violin.

And of course…

Vermont hospitals are now forcing nurses to participate in abortions aginst their will. 

Vermont has changed so much in my lifetime. And not for the better.

As the Nation’s most Dystopian State.

A race to the bottom.

Excerpts …

Vermont filmmaker Jay Craven advocates for extending the vote to 16-year-olds (“Listen to the Young,” he admonishes).  Vermont Public Radio commentator Bill Schubart proclaimed that “I’ve recently learned I’m a “privileged, cisgendered, white male[.] … I’ll keep an open mind about identity politics, and trust the next generation to better educate me on the concept.”  Talk about optimism — an old man hoping to be educated about his hitherto unknown identities by those with less than fully formed brain…

Vermont leads the nation in adults who behave like errant children and delegate leadership to infants.  Small wonder that Vermont uncritically embraced a 14-year-old candidate for governor.  Vermont is the forefront of the new utopian vision of which Ryszard Legutko has cautioned — this is the state where Black Lives Matter flags are flown at numerous schools, and textbooks are edited to teach children that Vermont is a white supremacist culture.  This is where young children halt public parades while no police or other authorities intervene.

In Vermont, this experiment now extends to sexual and gender identity decisions in early childhood, and genital-mutilating surgeries at taxpayer expense, which insurance companies are mandated to provide without age minimums.  Vermont’s largest hospital even invites children to think ahead before they attempt to alter their sex…

And lets not forget that Vermont has abortion/murder on demand right up until the baby is poking his/her head out of the birth canal.  And for any reason, and no one,  including the father, may raise any objection at all.

What makes this all so depressing to Me is that in my lifetime I have witnessed my home State flip 180 degrees from a solid conservative Republican to far left wing Progressive. To accomplish this Judeo-Christian morality had to be trashed and eliminated.  As it is always with Progressives, Socialist, Communist regimes.

Thirty years ago I never would have imagined Vermont falling so fast. 

But it has.

Remember now Vermont is the 3rd most patriotic State in the Nation

 

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
― George Orwell

“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”       

― George Washington

“Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.”
― Benjamin Franklin

“I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.”
― James Madison

SO……..

Because “Free Speech” can be soooo hateful!!

 

So it must be destroyed!!!

Warning: the following pictures in the above link may be considered by some as RACIST in nature.

So says our rino Governor.

Governor Scott and Vermont attorney general T.J. Donovan have vocally condemned the Green Mountain State and its inhabitants as racist, based on statistics that show that blacks are incarcerated at a higher rate than whites and are more likely to be stopped by police.  But there has been no analysis of whether these disparities are due to higher arrest rates of “people of color” as a consequence of a thriving opioid crisis.

Vermont’s culture is one of dairy farming, verdant mountain scenery, maple syrup, and small-town hospitality.  Both the governor and the gubernatorial hopeful who may oppose him next year openly characterize Vermonters’ culture as innately racist.  Scott praised Donovan’s Report declaring Vermont a “White Supremacy Culture” and proudly signed a law March 29 that will create a school curriculum designed to “change the underlying culture of our state.”
