It\u2019s what put us through the climate crisis and so much more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s a Harvard University education in action for you. No introspection. No Socratic method of learning that invites critical thinking and delves into underlying beliefs. Hogg\u2019s rote memorization of talking points is revealing. It lays bare his \u2013 and that of his political allies&#8217; \u2013 contempt for the truth, the actual wheels of democracy in motion and most revealingly those who actually participated in democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David Hogg\u2019s version of democracy is sounding a lot more like dictatorship and less about the voice of the people. It could be dismissed as the rantings of radical gun control outlier, buoyed by Michael Bloomberg\u2019s billions of dollars to foist an agenda that strips law-abiding Americans of their rights. Not any longer since he was elected by the DNC to represent their vision and steer their party\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Sen. Kennedy said, it\u2019s good for those who want to run against his platform.

He should know better. It is the warped and deranged murderers who prey upon the most innocent of American society that brought about these tragedies. Failure to confront that reality is willful and dangerous ignorance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hogg would rather blame&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/5657539\/march-for-our-lives-gun-law-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"david-hoggs-democracy-disdain-is-really-contempt-for-you\" title=\"David Hogg\u2019s Democracy Disdain is Really Contempt for You\">anyone and everything else<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 especially those who dare disagree with him \u2013 for causing those unspeakable acts \u2013 all to advance a hollow political agenda. He\u2019d rather blame the system of government that is predicated upon the people who are governed for having a voice in that government than holding the rotten and twisted criminals who visited unspeakable acts of criminal violence on innocents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s hardly new for Hogg.

Now, he\u2019s blaming democracy itself because free citizens refuse to kowtow to his disarmament edicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His contempt isn\u2019t just for those who disagree with his <a data-wpil-monitor-id=\"707\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/jim-acosta-interviews-ai-parkland-victim\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"david-hoggs-democracy-disdain-is-really-contempt-for-you\" title=\"David Hogg\u2019s Democracy Disdain is Really Contempt for You\"><strong>gun control agenda<\/strong><\/a>. He scorns the people who won\u2019t knuckle under to his undemocratic points of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hogg\u2019s revulsion for democracy, the American Republic and the freedoms which it espouses is an admission that he reviles America itself. He \u2013 and his party \u2013 aren\u2019t seeking to represent the will of the people in their government.

Criminals commit crimes, sometimes shockingly evil crimes. Those criminals must be held to account. They are not fit to live in, nor participate in the society in which we live. That\u2019s why the American Republic democratically elects representatives to pass and enforce laws to protect the people they are tasked to govern. That\u2019s the social contract. Government\u2019s first and primary responsibility is to protect the people it governs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s another truth. Americans\u2019 rights are granted by our Creator \u2013 not government. That includes the right to keep and bear arms. Government cannot grant this right.

Hogg, and his fellow antigun zealots steering their political party in un-American directions, jealously guard democracy. That couldn\u2019t be further from the truth. Hogg\u2019s proposal is a Faustian bargain. In the words of Francis Bacon, he would \u201cCure the disease and kill the patient.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, Hogg\u2019s definition of democracy would be so much better if \u201cthe people\u201d just didn\u2019t have a say. That\u2019s not democracy. That\u2019s tyranny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also why Sen.
