Italy's newly elected prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, had a campaign theme that promoted "God, Family, Country." Yet she's being incessantly tagged by legacy media as a "far-right" extremist, even as a "fascist" sprung from the last century's Mussolini. When reading media accounts of Meloni's victory, it's helpful to keep in mind that "fascist" and "racist" are today's preferred-by-the-Left's adjectives for anyone with a differing viewpoint.
Since when did love of one's faith, family, and native land become dangerous traits? Only since the would-be globalist tyrants started trying to take over today's world.
If you notice, we're always being informed that conservatives of any stripe are "a threat to our democracy." Another favorite battle cry of the Lefties is that "our democracy is at stake." The word "democracy" is never defined; neither are the epithets of "fascist" and "racist" that are hurled about with such regularity.
Here's a fun word game for you. Every time a left-winger refers to "democracy," substitute the words "my power." It's very telling.
Nancy Pelosi gave a speech last spring on how to "preserve democracy." She went on to refer to the Capitol as a "temple of democracy." Hmm.
Try it with Joe Biden's reaction to Meloni's election, keeping in mind that she was freely chosen by voters and that Italy is a NATO ally: "...democracy is at stake." Always ignored is the fact that the United States is a representative, democratic republic--not a mob-rule "democracy." But you get the idea. What they're really talking about is "power."
It's obvious that the Left is terrified of this woman, and no wonder. Meloni's 2019 speech at the World Congress of Families was enough to send any Communist into heart spasms. Below are just a few quotes:
- "Why is the family an enemy? Why is the family so frightening?"
- "There is a single answer...Because it defines us. Because it is our identity, because everything that defines us is now an enemy for those who would like us to no longer have an identity and to simply be perfect consumer slaves."
- "They said all sorts of things about this congress. They said we want to go back to the past. That we're losers. That we're embarrassing. That we're un-enlightened. They said it's scandalous for people to defend the natural family founded on marriage, to want to increase the birth rate, to want to place the correct value on human life, to support freedom in education and to say no to gender ideology."
- "I say the losers are those who have nothing better to do than come here and insult us."
- "I can't define myself as Italian, Christian, woman, mother" but instead must be defined as "citizen x, gender x, parent 1, parent 2..."
- "I must be a number. Because when I am only a number, when I no longer have an identity or roots, then I will be the perfect slave at the mercy of financial speculators."
- "Each of us has a unique genetic code that is unrepeatable. That is sacred. We will defend it. We will defend God, family and country, those things that disgust people so much..."
In a different speech, Meloni said, "Yes to the natural family, no to the LGBT lobby, yes to sexual identity, no to gender ideology, yes to the culture of life, no to the abyss of death, no to the violence of Islam, yes to safer borders, no to mass immigration, yes to work for our people."
Wow. This woman has no problem speaking her mind, even in today's oppressive climate. Well, I must confess that I agree with her common sense positions. I guess I'd be described as a "far right" extremist, too.
Meloni favors free nursery schools for mothers employed outside the home. She states that Europe's low birth rate as "the biggest problem facing Europe. If we do not address this, everything else is pointless."
I can't speak for you, but I wouldn't mind living in Italy right about now.
