A few years earlier, I wrote about this question in my blog.  I still have the same question.  As I look around me, I see people expressing concern about specific things or personal pet peeves.  Still, when it comes to America’s overall health, I am not sure I see the level of care that facilitates positive change.

I realize that the demands a more thorough explanation.   Do people care?  What do they care about?  Who are the people being spoken of?  What is the context of the discussion?    All those are valid and questions deserving of answers.  Therefore, if you will give me a few minutes of your precious time, I will try to articulate my question by relating it to the current situation in America and even the Church.

Many things have come to my attention and have not escaped my notice over the past few years, which have led me to question my approach to caring.  When I hear the diatribe and rhetoric of leading Leftists and sometimes their witting or unwitting confessions or revealing of their true intent, yet still able to be re-elected, my concern grows.   It validates my concern and question, “Do People Really Care?”

Back in 2022, the illustrious Representative from South Carolina, Jim Clyburn, appeared on MSNBC before the election and admitted that the Biden administration and congressional Democrats knew that certain actions they would take — and were taking — would drive inflation up. 

Yet, most of the Leftists were re-elected.  That made me scratch my head and say, “Wow!  Then How?”   He said, “Well, let me make it very clear.    All of us are concerned about the rising costs, and all of us knew this would be the case when we put in place this recovery program.  Any time you put more money into the economy, prices tend to rise.”  Basically, admitting that their spending plan would hurt everyone.  But people still elected so many of them.  “Do People Really Care?”

Have we become so partisan and ideologically divided that no matter what the elected officials of our party do, we will still vote for them because they are members of our party?   Do we care more about party affiliation than actions?  Do we care more about who is granted the power to run our government than what they are or will do?  Do we believe that we are winning when we give up our freedoms and dreams to keep them in power?  “Do People Really Care?”

They knew!  All of them, all of the Democrats in Congress, KNEW that their plan was going to cost you and me dearly.  They knew, and yet they still did what they did.  Now, we have Schumer and the Leftists going even further.   None of it is necessary.   The economy did not and does not have to be shuttered.  The Oil and Gas Industry did not have to be decimated.   The price of gasoline did not have to go through the roof.  The energy did not have to be driven to the point that some have to choose between food and energy.  The costs of goods and services, and thereby the cost of jobs, did not have to occur.  They knew what they were doing would cripple America’s economy, but they did it anyway.  Therefore, “Do People Really Care?”

I would readily acknowledge that I have strong doubts that Joe Biden has a clue where inflation comes from or how the economy works, based on his four-plus decades of cognizant disconnect with reality.  However, I do believe there are members of that party who are smart enough to know, and yet they do it anyway.  The damage is considered collateral damage, and we suffer because of their insatiable thirst for power and control.  Therefore, I ask again, “Do People Really Care?”

When various politicians ditch the Democratic Party, I wonder whether we are witnessing the rats abandoning a sinking ship, seeking survival, or whether they have begun to care.  I can honestly say that I do not have a definitive answer.  I continue to hope it is a sign that some still have a shred of allegiance to the Constitution and the Republic.  Time will tell, but do we have the time to wait for the answer?

Tulsi Gabbard declared, as she switched parties, that she was leaving the Democratic Party because of “cowardly wokeness” that “radicalizes every issue” and divides Americans needlessly.   She may have been referring to things such as former President Barack Hussein Obama’s speech at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit behind closed doors, where he sought to radicalize the fact that many Republicans disagree with him.   How dare they?  Disagree with The One!  That is unforgivable to the Donkeys.

He said, “Sometimes it turns out they’re mean, they’re racist, they’re sexist, they’re angry.  Your job is to just beat them because they are not persuadable… Sometimes we get filled up with our own self-righteousness.  We’re so convinced we’re right that we forget what we are right about.”

That is so full of hubris and self-exaltation that it deserves no comment.  But he is right: they are incredibly self-righteous and project their own actions onto their political opponents.  Tragically, too many do not seem to care, drink the Kool-Aid, regurgitate the talking points, and vote no matter what negative actions their party takes.  It causes me to wonder if People Really Care.

Do the Black and Hispanic Communities care that the Donkeys exhibit incredibly insensitive racism behind closed doors?  An example in point would be the Los Angeles Democrat, Nury Martinez, and two others were caught on tape comparing a two-year-old Black child with a monkey, saying in a prima facie call for violence against the child, that he needs to be ‘beat down.’ 

An example of ‘cowardly wokeness’ is that the Democratic Party has been in control of the White House and both Houses of Congress for two years, and none of them have the gonads to oppose the destruction.  Inflation, under this administration and with the Democrats’ approval in Congress, has soared from 1.4% in January 2020 to over 8.5% now.  That is a 40-year high and may go even higher before they are evicted from Washington if they are.  Will they be?  Only if “People Really Care?”

The Border fiasco is bringing chaos to many segments of our Republic and will only grow worse for the next couple of years.  Crime is escalating, especially in the Sanctuary Cities and States, and in the Deep Blue Cities run by the Democrats, and will continue into the foreseeable future.  Unless?  Unless people begin to Really Care!

The inciting of violence, the funding of riots, the demands for no border enforcement, the continuation of sanctuary cities, the gender confusion, the abandonment of moral sanity, and biblical reality all make me ask, “Do People Really Care?”   When people are willing to celebrate the murder of someone who disagrees with them, we are in danger of total collapse.

Obama, Biden, and a host of leading Democrats all consistently and continuously insist that the Republicans cause all of our problems.  They include Climate Change, COVID, or something, but not the Donkeys.   Joe Biden even told the Washington Examiner in 2022, “If the Republicans take control, the prices are going to go up.”  Hey, Mr. Biden, where have you been – PRICES WENT UP UNDER YOUR ADMINISTRATION!  This was not under Republicans, but you and your fellow Donkeys.

That is beyond idiocy!  People who are in the know, such as Milton Friedman, have declared that Inflation is ALWAYS and EVERYWHERE a monetary phenomenon.  Friedman was the author of the Regan Revolution’s Economic strategy.  The policy helped us claw our way out of the Jimmy Carter-era inflation and stagflation. 

A smaller government, not a gargantuan government, is the answer, as any reasoned economist knows.  Politicians know it too, but they want the power and control afforded to them by the behemoth that exists now.  Buying votes through handouts is probably here to stay.  It will remain until “People Really Begin to Care.”

The Left keeps telling us that we can spend our way out of any fiscal mess.  I am convinced that a 5^th Grader would know better.  Their insane spending drives the CPI up, and inflation hurts every American who works for a living and pays taxes.   Did you check gas and food prices under Biden?   Did you purchase lumber or other building materials?   Virtually everything escalated in price!  If you did, you know that their spin is malarkey.  You know better!

God help us to begin to care and awaken from our political stupor, and as the old cliché goes, “Throw the Bums Out.”  Maybe we are not desperate enough, and until a greater degree of desperation occurs, we will likely see the continuation of the lunacy of re-electing the perpetrators of the destruction.  I am praying for people to wake up and begin to really care!

God bless you and God bless America!
