Stifling
free speech and political debate by using political correctness and unfounded
accusations of racism are the favorite tools of the progressive movement. Every
facet of the American way of life is under attack by the fringe in power. Yet,
it is so quiet on the right, you can hear crickets.
The
anti-American political posturing of Democrats in this presidential campaign
and the Republicans’ weak defense of what has made America a superpower is a
reminder of how much is at stake and how much can be lost in November – the
heart and soul of a nation, her very existence.
The
American “arrogance” for which this administration is constantly apologizing to
the world is found in cemeteries across Europe in which American heroes are
interred, having died in the defense of liberty for ungrateful and cocky
European socialists who have forgotten the ultimate sacrifice paid by ordinary
Americans who preserved their way of life and freedom there and around the
globe.
There
is a strong disconnect between the interests of the political class and the
interests of “we the people.” We want to save our nation and our Constitution.
Politicians are only interested in gaining and retaining power and wealth
during their “service.” Their ultimate goal is to remain in office for life by
pleasing constituents who send in large donations and endorsements, and by
pretending to care for the downtrodden. Throw supporters a bone in the form of
welfare, amnesty, or union support, and they will vote Democrat forever. Build
a bridge to nowhere or a short railroad to a swamp and you gain the citizens’
undying devotion.
Politicians prefer a dumbed down electorate, uninformed, with little education, no courage, easily duped and pliable so that representatives can retain their privileged status. Politicians lie, misrepresent, sell their conscience, betray the voters’ trust, betray their country, and sell it to the highest bidder in order to keep their power and office. Should they lose an election, civilian life can provide even more spoils in the form of lobbying, in exchange for knowledge and insider information gained while in office.
History
is conveniently erased or re-written to favor the latest education mandate sent
in by the mighty Department of Education who decides what facts are important
and what perception of reality shaped by those in power is acceptable and
politically correct in order to graduate more drones.
Students
are socially promoted and encouraged to attend colleges where they are advised
to pursue worthless degrees in social studies, women’s studies, ethnic studies,
communication, and journalism with a communist bent and social justice activism,
for which there is little demand and certainly little pay or employment
opportunity unless Occupy Wall Streeter is considered a serious profession.
Who wants to study hard and struggle to pass math? Liberals say that “mathematics is man-made, arbitrary, and good solutions are arrived at by consensus among those who are considered experts.” By this logic, 2+2 may equal 5 if there is enough “consensus.”
Easy
As in fluff courses are guaranteed in this progressive ideology that permeates
humanities and social sciences. I never understood why they call them sciences
– there is nothing scientific about a subject that derives its “wisdom” from
opinion surveys.
Innovations,
inventions, most favored status and strategic technology are sold or made
available to rogue nations and enemies while allies are slighted or ignored.
If
you happen to be “rich,” and the definition of “rich” keeps changing, you did
not pay your fare share. You now work for your government, the government no
longer works for you. Social justice demands as much confiscation of wealth as
possible from you until redistribution of wealth and social engineering is
satisfied. Only then will social justice/equity reign supreme.
If
you have a small business for which you had worked very hard for many years or perhaps
generations, you did not build that, someone else helped you because the
government built roads for you to travel on and engage in commerce. Never mind
that you were levied confiscatory taxes by the government, thus paying for the
construction of roads and for the right to travel on them.
Government
spending is out of control. Congressmen in both parties cannot help themselves
in the drunken deficit spending frenzy. They are so irresponsible, they have
not passed a budget in three years, one of their primary missions.
Yet
Congress and the government would like to tell you how irresponsible you are
with your finances, how much more taxes you must pay, what to eat, what to
drink, how much salt to consume, what drugs to take, what kind of insurance you
must purchase, what vaccines you must receive, what engineered foods you must
eat via Codex Alimentarius, what supplements to take, what cars to buy, where
to live, what to do with your own property, where to work, how to raise your
children, and what schools to attend.
Meanwhile,
Congressmen exempted themselves from Obamacare, protected themselves against
the very fraud they punished their constituents with, and were lawless and
unaccountable for their misdeeds, protecting each other like thieves in the
night.
We’ve
lost our Space Shuttle program with the stroke of a presidential pen, but
landed successfully the rover Curiosity on Mars. The fantastic journey took 8
months and millions of miles. It boggles my mind how precise and tedious the
entire process was. Nobody paid much attention to this momentous occasion in
the history of our nation or cared to rejoice in such an accomplishment, except
for the jubilant and marvelous engineers at NASA. Everyone else was busy with
mundane living or tired of hearing the MSM disingenuous non-stop praises of a
failed administration. Why spend money on our stellar space exploration program
when we can rent a chair on a Russian shuttle like a poor and distant relative
who cannot afford a car.
Silence
may be golden in some cases, but, in defense of liberty, we must hear more than
a whimper from our pro-America politicians if we are to save our constitutional
republic - it must be a roar in order to protect our country from extinction.
"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!"
