Let me offer the generally accepted definition of ‘Anarchist,’ and you determine if you think calling yourself one is commendable.   I am a Limited Government advocate, not a no-government advocate!

Anarchist – “An anarch is one who advocates anarchy or aims at the overthrow of civil government.   One who believes in or advocates the absence of hierarchy and authority in most forms, especially one who works toward the realization of such.  One who disregards laws and social norms as a form of rebellion against authority.”

Merriam-Webster defines anarchist:

“a person who rebels against any authority, established order, or ruling power.  A person who believes in, advocates, or promotes anarchism or anarchy, especially: one who uses violent means to overthrow order.”

When I review our American history groups, such as the ‘Weathermen,’ later identified as the ‘Weather Underground Organization’ surface, which was an extreme left-wing organization that carried out bombings, jailbreaks, and organized riots in the late ’60s and beyond.  There was also the ‘Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).’  

They included people such as Bernardine Dohrn, Eleanor Raskin, Dianne Donghi, Peter Clapp, David Millstone, and Diana Oughton.  They collaborated with the communist regimes of North Vietnam and Cuba, attempting to subvert and overthrow the U.S. Government.  Others who were involved were Bill Ayers and other prominent names from the past. 

Amazingly, some of those now occupy bureaucratic positions and serve as college professors who teach today’s youth.  They use their office or platform to bend those young minds toward their liberal, leftist, anarchist point of view.   They engaged in riots, looting, and destruction, as well as arming the “New Black Panthers” for war against the government and against whites.   They murdered police and gunned down citizens in acts of terror, and tragically, at times, escaped the long arm of the law and were supported by Leftist Politicians.

If any of that sounds familiar as you view what has been happening today and in the past few years, you realize the fruit of the root is still with us.    A little research and investigation reveal that some of those behind the organization of these modern anarchist activities are none other than Bill Ayers, George Soros, and other leftist activists. They are devoted Haters of America!

The hate is multi-generational, and it is rooted in a Communist Marxist manifesto that desires to destroy our system of government.  One of its primary objectives is to destroy capitalism.  The argument that things are ‘not fair,’ and we need to ‘level the playing field’ is their mantra. 

Sadly, the playing field they want to level would be slanted to their advantage.  It would result in many of those pulling the strings becoming incredibly wealthy and powerful, allowing them to use the pawns of their destruction, the protesters.  Unfortunately, those pawns are often ill-informed or uninformed.   

These guiding anarchists prey on emotions, fan the flames of hate, and seek to divide the nation.  They believe that destroying property, hampering the normal commerce of America, and even violently attacking detractors are both acceptable and desirable.  The forces behind these protests consider this WAR, even if those marching and committing acts of violence and felonious acts do not. 

Sometimes I think of the infamous Yogi Berra and say, “It’s like deja vu, all over again.”   With the Republicans controlling both Houses of Congress and occupying the Oval Office, the Leftists are once again ramping up the chaos and destruction.  It is Deja-vu and a very distasteful blast from the past.

If we ignore their antics, activities, and agendas, we do so to our hurt.  We must expose it for what it is and refuse to be bullied by the tactics.  We must insist that lawbreakers are prosecuted and held accountable when laws are broken.  We must not allow the MSM, the Leftist Democrats, and weak-willed Republicans to force us down the road to destruction and abandonment of our Core Principles found in the Constitution and the Bible. 

The vitriol of the Leftists is not only distasteful but also dangerous.  You can only push people so far before they push back, and often, the pushback is more severe than the initial push.  We are on the brink of a Civil War in America.   The eight years of Barack Hussein Obama and the four years of Leftism under Joe Biden have severely damaged our Republic.  It will take a long time to recover if we can. 

The misrepresentations of agendas like Obamacare have entrenched themselves in the minds of the ill-informed.   Obamacare did not do what it was reportedly going to do.  However, I believe it has largely accomplished what it was designed to do.   I believe that at its roots, it was designed to collapse the entire healthcare industry or the health insurance industry.

It created havoc and chaos through denied or delayed care. It escalated the cost to the point that the public was tempted to accept “Universal Health Care” or a “Single-Payer System,” where the government pays for healthcare and makes the healthcare decisions for the citizens.   Sadly, the government paying for anything is a misnomer.  If the government pays for it, We Pay For It!

The Leftists, even before Mr. Trump was inaugurated the first time, were raising money to have him impeached.  Then and now, there are those on the Left who are calling for his assassination.   The Democrats are poised, once again, to oppose and obstruct everything that President Trump and the Republicans attempt. 

Hopefully, this time around, the Republicans in Congress will develop a spine and have a willingness to stand their ground and fight for America.   If they will, we will see many of the destructive policies of the Obama and Biden administrations reversed.  We will witness the nation begin the process of healing.   

I believe that if we enforce the law and, when protests become riots, people are arrested, and we truly communicate what is happening, most Americans will stand for what is right.  If we articulate the dangers of illegal immigration, including the gangs, drugs, disease, and terrorism threats, many will see the light and be willing to resist the Left’s false narrative.   

But if we allow those seeking to bully America to go unscathed, we will embolden and encourage them losing our Republic.   Are we willing to allow the terrorism of the ’60s to become acceptable today?  The answer to that will determine the future of America. 

God bless you, and God bless America again!
