Pete Buttigieg

Mr. & Mr. Pete Buttigieg.

Peter (Paul Montgomery) Buttigieg (pron. Peter Boota-judge) was born January 19, 1982, and is the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and according to ABC's The View, is called the "Mayor of Indiana." Buttigieg is mayor of the city which hosts Notre Dame University, America's premier Catholic college. Buttigieg's father, a communist, infiltrated Notre Dame's faculty in 1980. In a harbinger of things to come, Buttigieg announced his candidacy for the Democratic party nomination in the 2020 Presidential election on April 14, 2019. The following day, April 15, 2019, Notre Dame's 800-year-old namesake and (what some see as a) symbol of Christian civilization, the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris was burnt down. Buttigieg believes that the U.S. was "never as great as advertised."

Policies

Some of the policies Buttigieg supports: are.

• Affordable abortion and the right to it for all women who choose to murder their child.
• Abolishing the death penalty. End mandatory minimum sentences for certain offenses. Eliminate the private prison industry.
• Gun Control: establishing a nationwide gun licensing system. The use of "Extreme Risk Protection Orders" since "two-thirds of all gun deaths are suicides." Holding the gun industry accountable for the misuse of guns by owners.
• Legalize marijuana and address the harmful effects of its criminalization.
• The Equal Rights Amendment: Enlarge and strengthen anti-discrimination protections against gender and sexual identity-based discrimination (thus leading to criminalizing dissent; compelling businesses and churches to support what God calls an abomination). Includes "safe schools legislation." Combating those who are defined as mistreating homosexuals. Includes fighting against "the overrepresentation and mistreatment of LGBTQ people in the criminal justice system" (the higher crime rate among that demographic). Focusing on improving "the health and well-being of LGBTQ youth, parents, and families." (All of which could extend to attacking those who are considered to be harmful to the psychological well-being of such). Protecting LGBTQ asylum seekers while supporting LGBTQ human rights around the world.
• Working with "religious leaders, tech companies, and other influencers to reduce hate and extremism in our homeland," "groups that use forms of domestic extremism."
• Growing national service programs to foster unified community and tackle "critical national and global challenges" from "climate adaptation to supporting disinvested American communities and neighborhoods", etc.
• Universal health care: promoted as “Medicare for All Who Want It.”
• Reparations policies for Black Americans and closing the racial wealth gap "income disparity").
• Education: advocates zero tuition for middle-income families at public college; free public tuition affordable for lower income students, combined with a large increase in Pell Grants that provides for basic living expenses.
• Boosting teacher pay, beginning with Title I schools.
• Funding national investment in affordable housing construction. Ending homelessness for families with children.
• Paycheck Fairness Act: forcing hire companies to reveal who and what they pay based on gender, and to pay, and promote women fairly.
• Raising the minimum wage to $15 and strengthen overtime protections. Paid family and medical leave. Extend pay and benefit protections to uncovered workers. Invest in high-quality child care and early childhood learning programs (which could foster homosexual indoctrination).
• Giving labor unions "a powerful seat at the table."
• "Climate Change:" treating "Climate security" as a life and death issue for our generation.
• Implementing "a Green New Deal with all available tools including a carbon tax-and-dividend for Americans, and major direct investment to build a 100% clean energy society." Includes, "Decarbonize transportation and industry; Commit to the Paris Climate Agreement and collaborate with other countries to increase all our goals;" "Convene state and local leaders for an agreement on community-driven carbon reduction;" "Prepare our military and disaster response agencies for the security threats of climate change."
• Foreign policy, "reinventing institutions of international engagement to address 21st century challenges," "fundamentally rethink our foreign policy." Includes making climate security as a key basis for diplomacy.
• Comprehensive immigration reform.
• Automatic voter registration. Voting rights for the formerly incarcerated. Expand early voting.
• Replacing the Electoral College with a national popular vote.
• Overturning Citizens United and Buckley v. Valeo (which ruled that statutory limits on campaign spending were unconstitutional), if necessary by constitutional amendment
• Advocates the District of Columbia having a House member and two Senators with voting power. Puerto Rico statehood if its people want it, and immediate representation in the Electoral College.
• Restructuring the Supreme Court so that ten members are confirmed in the normal political fashion, with the other five promoted from the lower courts by unanimous agreement of the other ten.

"Security" is a major theme of his position page, being mentioned 27 times, from Climate security to economic security to security from intimidation, while the effects of The Equal Rights Amendment would use intimidation via penalizing and prosecuting individuals or business such as in good conscience refuse to be complicit in affirming homosexual relations, imposing economic sanctions or worse on such. Such attacks on the security of those of religious conscience has been seen under the implementation of the European Union equality law.

Campaign funding

Buttigieg raised $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2019, with approximately $2.5 million coming from large donations, which was more than all except three Democratic candidates, including and four sitting U.S. senators, a sum that is seen likely to balloon in the coming months. Elizabeth Birch, former executive director of the Human Rights Campaign, stated, What is going on now is one of the untold secrets of the D.N.C. and Democratic Party generally, which is that the L.G.B.T. community is a huge source of money into the Democratic Party.”

This is related to the megadonor, tech millionaire Tim Gill, founder of software company Quark Inc., who heavily funds the LGBT movement (including by funding front groups with misleading names, such as "Alliance for Colorado’s Families) and its allies in the Democratic Party says he will continue to pursue and attack those who hold traditional views about sexual morality. "We’re going into the hardest states in the country,” he says. “We’re going to punish the wicked.” The Gill Foundation rallied more than 100 corporations, including Coca-Cola, Google and Marriott, behind a front group called "Georgia Prospers." The tactic was business threatening to pull out of the state, and the coalition successfully induced Republican Gov. Nathan Deal into vetoing a Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Ideology

See also: Long march through the institutions

Buttigieg calls himself an "intellectual" and claims Democrats respect "institutions and rules" and "fairplay." Buttigieg is noted for his use of meaningless Marxist dialectic double talk and buzz phrases, such as "democratic capitalism" which supposedly sets him apart from democratic socialists.

Buttigieg is running on a platform of uprooting traditional family values. His priorities are transgender bathrooms and the totalitarian Green New Deal. Like Obama, he poses as a "centrist," though his beliefs are more accurately described as far-left. He wants to abolish the Electoral College and pack the Supreme Court. Buttigieg supports erasing Thomas Jefferson's name from U.S.landmarks and institutions. While in Harvard, Buttigieg wrote in the student paper promoting left-wing viewpoints, some even outside the Democrat Party mainstream.

Gramsci

Antonio Gramsci was a lieutenant of Joseph Stalin who headed the Italian branch of the International Communist movement (Comintern). After several failed assassination attempts on Mussolini, Gramsci was imprisoned in 1926 until his death in 1937. While in prison Gramsci wrote his Prison Notebooks, speculating on the failure of violent revolution to materialize in Western Europe as Karl Marx had predicted. Gramsci's works are considered by Socialists to be foundational to modern public education and Cultural Marxism.

Joseph A. Buttigieg, Pete Buttigieg's father, according to his faculty page at Notre Dame University,

"interests are modern literature, critical theory, and the relationship between culture and politics. In addition to numerous articles, Buttigieg...is also the editor and translator of the multi-volume complete critical edition of Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks...his articles on Gramsci have been translated into Italian, German, Spanish, Portugese, and Japanese. He was a founding member of the International Gramsci Society of which he is the executive secretary."

Gramsci's theory of "cultural hegemony" states that the ruling capitalist "oppressor" class uses cultural institutions, such as "traditional marriage," to maintain power. The "oppressors" develop a "hegemonic culture" using ideology unlike Socialists who use violence, economic force, and coercion. "Hegemonic culture" propagates its own values and norms so that they become "common sense" values and thus maintain the status quo. According to Wikipedia, this "Hegemonic power is therefore used to maintain consent to the capitalist order, rather than coercive power using force" as Marxism does "to maintain order. This cultural hegemony is produced and reproduced" by the dominant Christian oppressor class "through the institutions that form the superstructure."

Homosexual activism

Buttigieg has attacked Bible-believing Christians for their beliefs, and for supporting President Trump. He calls Vice President Mike Pence "the midwife of the porn-star presidency," and described Pence as "a nice guy to your face," but "just fanatical," despite his own radical positions on abortion and same-sex "marriage". He unfairly attacked Mike Pence and Christians. Richard Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, who is openly gay, said

I find it really ironic that Mayor Pete stayed silent about this so-called hate hoax on him and others during 2015, 2016, 2017 when Mike Pence was governor of Indiana. There was total silence. It’s ironic that right about now when he’s starting his fund-raising apparatus to run for president that he comes up with this idea and this attack.

The leftist Buttigieg is promoted as a devout Christian and a "man of faith" despite being "married" to a man. Homosexuality is never sanctioned in Scripture, and the Lord Jesus Himself specified that it was male and female that God joined together in marriage. Homosexual relations are only condemned in the Bible wherever it manifestly deals with them (see: Homosexuality and the Bible and Homosexuality and biblical interpretation).

Buttigieg proudly attributes this sinful desire of his fallen fleshly nature to God, stating that he wished that, "the Mike Pences of the world" would understand that if they have a problem with who he is then their quarrel is with God.

Cities across America which have adopted open bathroom policies, an issue dear to his heart, have been plagued with dirty hypodermic needles. Buttigieg supports federal legislation banning discrimination against homosexuals, and therefore opposes the Trump administration's ban on transgender people serving in the military, while supporting gender reassignment surgery for transgender people in prison.

Buttigieg and his "husband" offer no hope to parents, young girls, and women as role models for heterosexuality. Buttigieg's homosexuality and support for the homosexual agenda propelled him into the upper ranks of Democrat candidates and the mainstream media has visibly displayed its adoration for him while he rose in the polls (Liberals/leftists love Buttigieg's attacks on Vice President Mike Pence who supports religious liberty). Major homosexual political donors are financially backing his campaign.

Social gospel

President Trump remarked on the resemblance of Buttigieg to Alfred E. Neuman; Buttigieg, a man of the world who speaks seven languages, had no idea what President Trump was talking about. Alfred E. Neuman was a perennial presidential candidate for many years.

Consistent with the liberal social gospel, which gives a low priority to the teachings of Christ (while marginalizing the teachings of Paul etc. which were inspired by the Spirit of Christ) on personal moral purity in preference to acts such as feeding the (genuinely) needy, Buttigieg criticized right-wing Christians for "saying so much about what Christ said so little about, and so little about what he said so much about." Which, like Barack Obama, indicates ignorance of the totality of what Christ taught and how He did so, and the context of His social actions and the principals of sound interpretation, as well as the evidence that the evangelical church has been very substantially engaged in providing humanitarian aid, and encourages sacrificial giving to help others, which evangelicals engage in more of than other major groups.

While Democrats typically only give perfunctory mention of God, Buttigieg openly invokes his liberal faith and advocates doing so, stating, "we need to not be afraid to invoke arguments that are convincing on why Christian faith is going to point you in a progressive direction." “When I think about where most of Scripture points me, it is toward defending the poor, and the immigrant, and the stranger, and the prisoner, and the outcast...So I think it's really important to carry a message (to the public)…" While Buttigieg likes to sound the trumpet in his alms giving, he ignores the core teaching of salvation from sin and homosexuality:

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened....For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Scripture is unambiguous. God is not confused. Buttigieg's homosexuality is a consequence of idolatry, or his rejection of God.

Buttigieg opposed The Religious Freedom Restoration Act saying it "appeared to me to be a license to harm others in the name of religion...making it easier to harm people in its name," implicitly endorsing Christian persecution. In Buttigieg's world Christians who hold to Biblical morality can be impoverished and treated as outcasts or otherwise subject to harm (a word Buttigieg often uses for justification of his stance against conservatives), such as when refusing to be complicit in celebrating immoral causes, as in the case of Masterpiece Cakeshop.

Illustrating a primary reason why "right-wing Christians" seem so vocal about moral issues (since cultural Marxist immorality is foisted upon society and Biblical morality is attacked), Buttigieg's attack on conservative evangelicals has provoked many responses from them. Based upon the logic that the importance of an issue is based upon how much Christ said about it, and the premise that explicit statements only seem to count, evangelical blogger Erick Erickson surmises that perhaps Mayor Pete Buttigieg thinks that Jesus would be okay with abortion and bestiality.

Erickson also pointed out that that while Buttigieg holds himself out as a more tolerant Christian than Vice President Mike Pence, yet the later has never once said anything negative about Buttigieg being gay, while Buttigieg called Pence a fanatic and ridiculed Pence's faith. Erickson thus sees this as suggesting that he "would be O.K. with using the government to persecute Christians," for already "Buttigieg has come out in favor of the government shutting down Christian businesses if they do not bow at the altar of gay marriage."

Despite claiming to oppose using religion as a "cudgel," said in his very next sentence that if God were a member of a political party, it would not be the GOP.

Views on race

Buttigieg has criticized his supporters for being too white. Buttigieg has apologized for having once thought, believed, and expressed "all lives matter."

During his first term as mayor, in the wake of a federal investigation into recordings by police that allegedly contained racist remarks by some white police officers, Buttigieg asked Darryl Boykins, the city's first ever black police chief, to resign, and later demoted him to captain, resulting in charges of racial discrimination and a suit by Boykins, which was settled out of court. Buttigieg called for the eradication of racial bias in the police force, and has been credited with being being a valuable partner in advocating for the needs of the city's black community, while being faulted for a decrease in diversity in his administration as mayor as well as in his presidential campaign events.

Buttigieg rejected calls for the resignation of the racist Democrat governor of Virginia Ralph Northam.

Career

Buttigieg has overseen rising crime, homelessness, and drug use during his time as mayor of South Bend, Indiana. Violent crimes are three times higher in the Democratic stronghold of South Bend than in the rest of Indiana, and property crimes five times higher. His 80% election vote is not a reflection of popularity, but rather of single party control of a political machine.

In 2017 Buttigieg ran against Keith Ellison and Tom Perez for the Chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee but was defeated because he's white.

Family

Buttigieg was gay-married in 2018 and the couple have no children. However, Buttigieg stated that they want children. Seaking on NBC’s “Today” show, he added, "I don’t know exactly when and how we’re going to pull that off, but Chasten is made to be a dad,” “I’m looking forward to it too, as soon as we can figure it out.”
