The way they tell it, the deck is stacked against me, and I can\u2019t help it. In fact, they say things are so bad that we need to flip over the table and deal a different hand to everyone, or maybe&nbsp;even&nbsp;start a new game entirely. According to them, nothing other&nbsp;than another American revolution is needed, because this country is supposedly rotten to the core.<\/p>\n<p>But these&nbsp;liberals are wrong. They\u2019re wrong when they define people by gender and skin color \u2014 that\u2019s insulting \u2014 and they\u2019re wrong about America.<\/p>\n<p>America isn\u2019t sexist, racist, or rotten. To the contrary, America is the first country in history to <i>reject <\/i>sexism and racism. The Declaration of Independence makes clear that discrimination of any kind has no place in America. Previous generations have fought and even died to move us closer to our founding promise of liberty and equality for all.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s still work to be done, no question. But today\u2019s liberals are standing in the way of progress. They claim to be fighting for social justice, but they\u2019re really making it impossible to achieve a more just society. They claim to be \u201cprogressive,\u201d but they\u2019re dragging&nbsp;America backward.<\/p>\n<p>The worldview I\u2019m describing is held by virtually all leading Democrats and their allies in the media and higher education,&nbsp;who are&nbsp;obsessed with the idea that America is totally unjust. Some call it \u201cwoke.\u201d Some call it \u201cidentity politics.\u201d To a point that\u2019s an accurate description, but there\u2019s something deeper and more dangerous at work.<\/p>\n<p>That something is <em>socialism<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Most people assume socialism is just about the economy. It\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p>Socialism claims to be about achieving equality in every part of daily life. But it\u2019s not equality of opportunity, where everyone has the freedom to soar. It\u2019s equality of outcome, where everyone is destined to be the same.<\/p>\n<p>The Left calls this \u201cequity,\u201d but there\u2019s nothing equitable about it. Their whole vision depends on providing&nbsp;government with complete control over the American people. The goal isn\u2019t to lift people up, it\u2019s to level people out \u2014 which means tearing some down. Yet there\u2019s no way to do that without tearing apart America in the process.<\/p>\n<p>The proof is playing out before our eyes.<\/p>\n<p>The Left\u2019s constant focus on grievance,&nbsp;victimhood,&nbsp;and privilege fills people with anger and hatred toward one another. The result is censorship, as people shout down and silence those they disagree with, especially on the Right. There\u2019s violence, because if America truly is unjust, then it deserves to be overthrown.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, the liberal project will lead to tyranny, with a government that can decide what we say, what we think, and how we live.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the inevitable result of socialism. And it\u2019s the polar opposite of real social justice, which our country actually needs. The way to achieve a more just society isn\u2019t by rejecting or replacing America. It\u2019s to renew our trust in America\u2019s guiding principles.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest lie told by the Left is that America is built on a foundation of injustice. It\u2019s true that our founders weren\u2019t saints \u2014 far from it. It\u2019s true that there are a lot of truly awful sins&nbsp;staining our country\u2019s past. But these truths don\u2019t change the fact that America was founded with the promise of liberty and equal rights for all. Those principles are the source of our national success, and they are still the standard we are striving to meet. Over nearly 250 years, those principles have helped us right the wrongs of the past, and delivered America\u2019s promise to more people.<\/p>\n<p>Those same principles are needed to achieve a better future, where everyone has the best shot at the best life. If we embrace them, we\u2019ll break down the barriers that are holding people back \u2014 in our economy, our education system, our culture. We\u2019ll move America closer to our ideals, like Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, and so many others have done throughout our history.<\/p>\n<p>But if we reject America\u2019s principles, we\u2019re dooming ourselves to a darker future \u2014 a future of less equality and liberty, not more. It will be a future of censorship, violence, and socialist tyranny. Take it from me, a brown woman: America is better than that.<\/p>\n<p><i>Ms. Haley served as governor of South Carolina (2011-17) and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations (2017-19)<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m a woman.I\u2019m a brown woman.I\u2019m a brown woman whose parents came from a different country.Add it all up, and what does that make me?If you listen to liberal leaders, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1893551,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-291069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291069\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1893551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
