“The white liberal is the worst enemy to America and the worst enemy to the Black man.”

“The white liberals are foxes… The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the ‘smiling’ fox.” - Malcolm X

It is almost that time again, yes, Black History Month, and recently, before the winter storm hit Texas, I was doing a nice jog, and this question came to mind. First of all, let's have a little political philosophical discussion; we need a good definition of liberal.

Today's leftists are not true liberals, in the vein of classical liberalism as authored by the father of said belief, John Locke. Locke, in 1689, in his Second Treatise on Government, introduced the revolutionary concept of Natural Rights Theory, which today's leftists mock and disregard. Not too long ago, there was a guest commentator on MSNBC, MS Now, or whatever it is, who referred to natural rights theory as extremism.

Just last year, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine asserted that individual rights come from the government, not the Creator God, which is what another Virginian wrote 250 years ago in our Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson studied John Locke and the ideals of natural rights theory, that individual rights, life, liberty, and property (pursuit of happiness), are endowed, naturally, by the Judeo-Christian faith heritage of God, the Creator.

If anything, leftists today are post-modern liberals, but truly, they are Marxist statists (Mark Levin's common description), progressives (the rebranded name for communists), socialists (economic model), or communists (societal model). They certainly are not classical liberals, but they did successfully, and deceptively, hijack the word to become, as Malcom X termed, the "smiling fox." And today's Democratic party, the party of the jackass, is galaxies away from being........
