TRANSFORMING AMERICA NEGATIVELY THROUGH ACADEMIA…


Many of us have been warning over the past several decades and are keenly aware of the problem in our public education. Let me avidly state that I support good teachers.  I support the teachers who truly seek to teach the truth, history, and the basic educational tenets needed to survive and thrive in this world.  I support educators who view their calling or vocation as more than a paycheck and resist the politically correct lunacy that is pervasive in today’s liberal agenda.   That agenda is rooted deeply in Socialism, Marxism, and Anti-Capitalism.  It is the opposite of what we were founded to be and have been for over two centuries. 

Years ago, while attending secular college with the intent to go into education in conjunction with my call to preach, I encountered some disturbing trends.  Those trends and mandates from those determining the direction of our educational process and curriculum caused me to divert my educational pursuits in a different direction.  I continued to pursue history as a prime base for my secular education and incorporated Psychology and Business as second-tiers in my pursuit of credentials.  I knew that I would be unable to satisfy the demands of those in education, so I decided to work toward private or religious education, not the public venue.  My biblical training has been invaluable as has my pursuit of truth in history and education.

There is something afoot that is going to push our educational system more in the direction of darkness and political correctness than we should be willing to allow.  I do not mind both sides of an issue being taught in school.  In fact, I encourage it.  However, I do not want the religious and factual to be limited or omitted in favor of the authorized version of revised and sanitized history and philosophy. 

If we are going to allow the teaching of evolution in the public venue, then I contend we must also allow creation to be given equal time and consideration.  I had a Biology professor in college say, “I am a devout Evolutionist and a devout Presbyterian, and my religion and evolution do not conflict.”  I got in trouble by telling him, “Mine does.”  I was persona non grata the rest of the semester.

That of which I am sounding the alarm is “Deep Equity” which is being developed by the Corwin company.  It is rapidly becoming the new standard curriculum taught in our public schools.  It is now in San Tan Valley in Arizona; Chicago, Illinois; Louisville, Kentucky; the entire Cleveland, Ohio public school district and in charter schools in Californian and other places.  It is also in Canada and is gaining a significant foothold in the world of academia. 

Their website describes it in the following manner:

“The Deep Equity framework, based on the work of Gary Howard, helps schools and districts establish the climate, protocols, common language, and common goal of implementing culturally responsive teaching practices.

The Deep Equity approach is based on the belief that scholastic inequities are symptomatic of institutional biases and norms that must be directly challenged through systemic, ongoing, and authentic work.

Deep Equity is a comprehensive and systemic professional development process aimed at producing the deep personal, professional, and organizational transformations that are necessary to create equitable places of learning for all of our nation’s children.

This capacity-building program helps educators dismantle disparities through sustained, collaborative efforts and courageous leadership”.

If you missed it, you should go back and reread and pay careful attention to the PC and Politically Woke language and phrases used.  Let me list a few of them and give a translation. 

Disparities.  Which is translated – The monolithic gap in education between disadvantaged people and those who are privileged. 

Culturally responsive teaching practices.  Translated to mean – If you are not white you will receive more leniency in matters of academic performance. 

Institutional biases.  Translated to mean – Institutions that operate in a manner that oppresses certain social groups while favoring others.  For example, they argue that institutional racism victimizes blacks, Hispanics, and Asians while favoring whites. 

Organizational transformations. This was one of Obama’s favorites ‘fundamental transformation of America.’  Basically, it is substituting the current white privilege-based curriculum with a new Marxist one.

What are they seeking to project?  They want us to view America as a deeply racist nation with systematic racism and an institutional hierarchy of various oppressions. It seeks to demonize whites, halt all debate on issues, and demand that teachers reject and resist parents who disagree.  That does not sound like the Free Constitutional Republic but a Gestapo and dictatorial style of education.  It is indoctrination, not education and that must be resisted. 

It is a deeper plunge into the world of political correctness and social justice that wants to portray anyone white as evil, inherently racist, and undeserving of freedom.  It is a one-way street to destruction and destroys all that makes America the greatest nation on earth.  It strips freedom from some as it seeks to create a new highly inflamed division of our nation.  It promotes what it calls “intersectionality”.  Merriam-Webster defines intersectionality as the idea people whose individual identities overlap with a number of marginalized groups experience multiple, overlapping threats of discrimination. 

It has been expanded to include all races, genders, and classes.  In this system and ideology, each one is assigned a number of oppressions they are automatically subjected to by education and society.  This is being mapped out by Marxist professors using Venn diagrams.  This is nothing more than a political move to indoctrinate our youth and shape the thinking of future generations.  It is designed to advance a particular political ideology rather than educate with the needed tools to function in society and advance in this world.  The new advancement tool is being politically correct not having knowledge and skills.

Arizona state representative Kelly Townsend said, “Before we spend $400,000 plus on a Deep Equity program, we first need to invest in the basics to address our own academic neglect. For example, more than half of our 3rd-graders are unable to read proficiently, and yet we prioritize social engineering.”

“These programs may please the politically correct, but it is academically wrong to spend time on anything else while our students are failing,” continued Townsend.  “Let’s get back to basics.”

I agree and if we continue to lose on the academic front, we will soon be overrun with the PC mandates and the patrolling PC Police will stifle all Freedom of Speech and eradicate all true history in America.  If we are willing to allow this, then vote Democrat and if not vote against them at every opportunity. I believe we need to get government out of education and teachers, parents, and God back in.

God bless you and God bless America!

HOW NEAR THE END ARE WE?


Maybe another way of asking that is, “Are we near the end of our Republic and if we are, how near are we?”  If that is more palatable to you, then please rephrase my question to be more palatable to you. You may be one that believes all that is happening in politics today is nothing more than a passing season and as with the climate, this is cyclical and nothing to be concerned about.  I wish I could ascribe to that view, it would be much more effective in easing my mind.  I wish I could see the antics of the Democrats and those following the ideologies that are a pathway to the destruction of our republican system of government.  I wish, but unfortunately, what I sense in my spirit, and see with my eyes will not allow me to take a ‘rose-colored glasses view.’

When Barack Obama declared, “We are just days away from fundamentally transforming America,” I cringed.  I’ve heard the wind blow before from political blowhards but something inside me said, “Take him seriously.  He is not proposing something that he does not believe can become a reality.”  

I had read the excerpts from his books and those he had associated with and realized that his previous history suggested that he was far less pro-America than he was pro-globalism and supported the Islamic jihadist facilitators more than anyone should have been comfortable with. 

I considered the church he had spent 20-years in and the anti-Semitic and anti-American views of his pastor, Jeremiah Wright.   That Reverend stunningly declared, “Not God Bless America, but God D*** America.”  That made me cringe and weep! Those factors disturbed me in ways that I could not positively prove.

Since the election of Donald J. Trump in 2016, my concerns have not abated but have escalated.  During the eight-years of Obama, I watched our race relations deteriorate troublingly.  He was lauded as the ‘first black president’ and I have no problem with a black, a woman, a Hispanic or any ethnicity being president so long as they demonstrate support for the Constitution and a pro-America view.  If they seek to ‘fundamentally transform’ this Republic into something that destroys our national sovereignty, shreds our Constitution, strips us of our inalienable and constitutional rights, I cannot and will not support them. 

The actions of Obama, Biden, Clinton, and those in control during the attack on our embassy in Benghazi was somewhat the last straw for me.  Their push to weaken the pillars of our founding is the culmination of a 100-year journey by the Left.  It extends far beyond 100-years, but that is a relatively clear period we can track and see how the Democratic Party has evolved into a Party of genocide, racism, socialism, and frequently demonstrate the characteristics of being Fascist.  If I am correct in that assessment, then what is happening is not a ‘bump in the road’ but a planned assault on our Republic.  What is happening cannot be passed off as a cyclical season of politics but a War that must not be ignored and must be won.

The Left has been progressively moving toward the precipice of destruction for decades, but their determination and commitment to the cause of American Revisionism is escalating.  By that, I mean Revision of the Republic into a Socialist Oligarchy where the Government is in Total Control. 

The Democratic Establishment has demonstrated its fundamental view that there is no such thing as private property or individual rights.  Well, maybe they do believe in those but not for anyone who disagrees with their ideological agenda and refuses to worship at the altar of Climate Change and Entitlements.  If we refuse to support abortion and the genocide they have proposed, we are deemed unworthy of any rights.  If they could, they would round us up and incarcerate us in reeducation camps to adjust our attitudes and program us to be their docile sheep.  Many of us are unable to bow at that altar and surrender our God-given inalienable rights and allegiance to the God of the Bible.

The past year, 2019 has been very revealing and I believe that 2020 will present even more challenges to the Republic.  The only hope we have of stemming the tide of that destructive tsunami they desire is to win both House of Congress and the White House this November.  If we fail, the price may be far greater than even the most pessimistic fear.  I pray that enough Americans awaken from their political stupor and unite to vote for America by voting against the Leftists.

When I look at the new faces and voices in the Democratic Party, I have great concern for America.  Many who study politics devotedly believe that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Squad are the new faces of the Progressive Movement and the Democratic Party.  If they are correct, and those members of Congress are reelected and more like them added to their number, we have a grave problem.  If they can proselytize enough members of their Party and win the White House, they can push through legislation that is destructive for America.  If you consider that simply a cyclical moment, I suggest you consider the consequences of ignoring this situation.

With the presence of people like Talib and Omar, openly pro-Islamist there is a genuine danger for the Constitutional Republic.  With the rise of teenage terrors, living privileged lives but given a world stage to spew forth their rhetoric, diatribe, and vitriol, there is a genuine danger. 

With the rise of people like Eric Swalwell, we have people on the Left who have expressed a willingness to eradicate their opposition.  He even declared that using nuclear weapons against those of us who disagree with his and their views.  That cannot be ignored. 

With media members such as Rachel Maddow, Chuck Todd, and those who pose as more moderate wage war on Christians, the biblical view of genders and marriage, and spread malicious lies regarding this President and those of us on the Right, there is a problem.  They seem to know no bounds and believe that they are free to fabricate, do and say whatever they please with total impunity.  That is a problem.

When I consider the views expressed by the Democratic hopefuls to become President, I am deeply disturbed.  The very fact that any poll would indicate that they are viable opponents to President Trump is concerning and signifies a genuine danger to our Republic.  When the totally partisan witch hunt and kangaroo court conducted by Schiff, Nadler is praised it is troubling. The willingness of celebrities to call for vile actions against Trump and his family and indirectly against all of us who oppose their ideology, is disturbing and dangerous!

Therefore, I ask my question again, “How Near the End Are We?”  I am not speaking of the Last Days of the Bible, I believe we are in those days.  I am asking regarding the Republic – “How Much Time Do We Have as the Free Constitutional Republic?”  Hopefully, I am unduly concerned, and my trepidation is unwarranted, but in my spirit and my view, watching what has transpired over the past decade, I am deeply concerned that the answer is, “One Election Away.”  That would mean that we can stay the final verdict by defeating the Democrats in November and reclaiming control of Congress as well as keeping the White House.  I ask you to join me in fighting to maintain our Republic and our Freedom!

God bless you and God bless America!

WILL THE REAL FASCIST PLEASE STAND UP?


Uh, no they won’t and the Fascist on the Left who call their opponents Fascists will be lauded as Freedom Fighters and Justifiably Angry and their actions excused.  How long will that last?  How long will the toxic liberal philosophy of Socialism exist in the political arena in America?  That’s how long this will continue, and I see some very dark clouds rising over the horizon causing many to predict WAR of epic proportions in internal America.  I hope those predictions are wrong, but I think they are right.

I keep seeing and hearing statements by educators, political pundits, activists, and politicians they justify the actions of groups like Antifa and others.  We have, or should have been watching this, for longer than most of us have been alive.  It is not a new phenomenon but is, at least 100-years old and has grown in strength and support in the past decade. 

Left-wing terrorism has deep roots dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries.  The terrorism of the modern left-wing has been labeled ‘political unrest’ giving it a more justifiable and palatable identity.  We watched the Weather Underground commit horrific acts of terrorism in the name of ‘political unrest’ for what they deemed unjust and unfair.  We have endured the SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) rise and commit atrocious acts of violence.  We saw the SLA (Symbionese Liberation Army) engaging in criminal activities in the name of ‘political unrest’.  There was the New World Liberation Front with their pipe-bombs in the 1970s. 

The United Freedom Front was active in the 1980s.  There has been the Black Panther Party and now the New Black Panther Party and today’s Antifa and funding for the various violent activist groups coming from non-profits claiming to exist in pursuit of peaceful co-existence and justice for all.  Sadly, those violent groups target conservatives, people wearing MAGA hats, and anyone not embracing their philosophy or being of the same skin pigmentation. 

I find it difficult to comprehend how anyone can justify violent actions against political or ideological opponents.  Are we, as a society, gravitating toward the view that it is a justifiable path to commit acts of violence against people we disagree with?  If so, the prognosticators of a coming Civil War are far more correct than they may think.  If we lose the concept of Freedom of Speech and civil disagreement, we are doomed as a society and blood in the streets will be the result.

I had a person on the Left attempt to justify the violence by quoting the Old Testament.  He said, “Well, even God said, an eye for an eye. Therefore, these groups have God’s blessings as they stamp out the evil of conservatism and force everyone to tolerate everyone and everything.”  Wow!  When I took them to the New Testament and the directive of our Lord Jesus to “Love, thy neighbor,” they wanted no part of it and made a snarky remark about antiquated religious views of Christians.  Basically, it was, “You either believe as I do, or you are wrong and worthy of whatever bad happens to you.”

Our Founding Fathers understood the age-old reality that if we were going to have and maintain a Republic, we must guard the ability and right for everyone to enjoy freedom of speech.  They understood the value of open discussion and debate on issues.  They expressed the recognized benefit of differing opinions to be voiced, enabling both sides to potentially learn from the other and find common ground.  They would be appalled at the condition now existing in American politics and society and wonder what they fought for and why.

It is somewhat ironic that those who support Antifa, mob violence, the end of freedom of speech, and demonstrate an unbending and unyielding intolerance of any opposing view call themselves ‘Progressives.’  The truth is their views are not progressive but regressive.  Their views date back to the time of kings, dictators, street brawls, and total political chaos with assignations a common occurrence in the political.  Those views date back to a time when dissent was not tolerated and any person could be attacked, imprisoned, or killed. 

If you examine history, you will discover that the rise of Fascism came about in the 1920s under Benito Mussolini.  The communist coined the term ‘fascist’ to identify renegade socialists.  Those who claim that Fascism was a right-wing movement are devoid of factual understanding of history.  It has always been a subsection of Socialism or Communism and will always be.  The fascists like the original Antifa were an example of one left-wing group fighting another left-wing group. 

History reveals that the National Socialists in Germany and the Soviet Union wanted to eliminate social classes and advance a social experiment to achieve their desired utopia.  Interestingly, the Germans and the Soviets still called them Fascists and considered them rivals within the same mindset and ideology. 

The heart of Communism and Socialism is a totalitarian, one-party state, with forced collectivism and centrally planned economies, where individual rights were given by the all-powerful government.  They did not believe in ‘inalienable rights’ because they truly did not believe in God.  They saw the government as god.  Today’s Antifa and the left-wing radicals are pushing for the very thing they accuse those of us on the Right of pursuing.  They want government control and suppression of freedom of speech for anyone opposing their ideological views.

Antifa and other left-wing violent activist groups claim to be fighting us because we are oppressive and violent, but they are the ones engaging in oppression and violence.  They openly express their admiration for tyrants and despots like Joseph Stalin, a mass murderer of epic proportions.

The members of groups like Antifa hold an ideology that is reflected by the hammer and sickle.  They justify their violence because they claim to have been victims of the evil white, conservative, Judeo-Christians of the Right. They attack those of us who want less government, more freedom, and individual rights.  The views we express and embrace would achieve what they claim to want in a far greater measure than their violence and hate.  If anyone cares to investigate, they would find that the ‘hammer and sickle’ is a gruesome reminder, or should be, of the Socialist-Communist terror that has slaughtered over 120 million people. 

Hey, America, those of us who resist our Republic being transformed into a Socialist, Politically Correct, Freedom-less nation are not the fascists.  We are not engaging in the actions of Fascists, Communists, or Socialists we are fighting for Freedom.  I pray that enough Americans will awaken in November of this year to help us save the Republic for the Tyranny of the Left. 

God bless you and God bless America!

YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP…


I’m serious, folks, the things that some of the politicians, media types, Hollywood faux intellectuals, and the rabid activist say is beyond comical.  Sadly, what they are saying, they believe.  Like the Georgia Democratic Representative Hank Johnson’s highly intellectual expression of fear that the island of Guam would capsize if too many people resided there.  He said it, in 2010 and called the Jewish people ‘termites’, but he is not anti-Semitic and deemed highly intelligent by the aforementioned groups.

From my own state of Texas, the illustrious and possibly infamous Democratic Congressman, Al Green said, “I’m concerned that if we don’t impeach this president, he will get re-elected.”  So, Congressman are you saying that the primary reason you and your party impeached and tried to remove from office was to prevent him from re-election?  I thought it was supposed to be because he actually committed ‘high crimes and/or misdemeanors?”  I guess not!

When I watched as Robert Mueller testified before Congress it was apparent that he had likely never read his own report.  The term “Fusion GPS” was not included in his report and he confessed he was not familiar with the term.  Seriously?  That was the heart and soul of their allegations and he was ‘unfamiliar.’  Wow! 

How about, the myriad of gaffes made by the former Vice President and current Democratic hopeful to become Commander in Chief saying, “We choose truth over facts!”  What?  Don’t facts support truth and reveal the truth?  Maybe that was a Freudian slip revealing what is in the hearts of the power-brokers on the Left.  They seem to believe that “truth” has quasi-religious implications as they continue to replace and reject God, the God of our ancestors, and facts. 

Does anyone remember Lawrence O’Donnell’s claim to Rachel Maddow that he had a single source to confirm that Trump’s loans were co-signed by Russian oligarchs?  He had to retract that the next day, but the narrative continued, and millions believed it because they heard on MSNBC, CNN, etc.  The Democrats all seem to believe that, we the people, are clamoring to pay more taxes, regressive taxes, and exorbitant taxes.  We want to be taxed into oblivion and into the poor house to fund their ridiculous plans and freebies.  I have a news flash for the Democrats, WE ARE NOT!

Of the many ludicrous things that Biden, Sanders, Warren, and others have said, we have Joe’s belief that kids long to touch the blond hair on his legs while in the swimming pool and that kids love jumping on his lap.  The man sounds like a pedophile, not a presidential hopeful. 

He and Bernie want to jail oil, gas, and fossil fuel executives because they do not prescribe to the Left’s demand for worshipping at the Climate Change Altar and embrace their New Green Deal.  Joe even said, in Pennsylvania that coal miners who lose their jobs because of his policies could learn computer programming.  He said, “Anybody who can go down 3,000 feet in a mine can sure as hell learn to program as well.”  

In New Jersey, he said, “Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program, for God’s sake!”  Wow!  His intelligence is impressive, right?  I would suggest that it is impressive only if you have flipped the off switch on your brain and your IQ hovers somewhere around freezing on the Fahrenheit scale.

If we turn back the clock just a few years we will discover that these dangerous but comical gaffes by the Democrats are not a new phenomenon they are a continuation.  It is also reflective of the usage of brainpower or the lack thereof of millions of voters who rabidly support them.  Hillary Clinton contended that it is not corporations or businesses that create jobs.  That goes hand in hand with Obama’s assertion that “If you’ve got a business… you didn’t build that.”  I guess they skipped any economics classes while in school.

How about the Democrat Mayor of Opelousas, Louisiana, Don Cravins, saying, “If you voted early, go vote again tomorrow.  One more time’s not going to hurt.  Tomorrow we are going to elect [Democrat] Earl Taylor as [District Attorney], so he won’t prosecute you if you vote twice.”  Wow!  That is great respect for the Law and an incredible indictment on the character of the man wanting to be the District Attorney. 

Do you recall the former Democratic Assemblywoman from New York, Patricia Eddington’s argument for gun control?  She said, “Some of these bullets, as you saw, have an incendiary device on the tip of it, which is a heat-seeking device.  So, you don’t shoot a deer with a bullet that size.  If you do you could cook it at the same time.”  I laughed until I cried and the wept because I knew people would believe her and buy her stupidity as factual reality.

Can I offer another the fact-checkers should have been all over, but I heard some Leftist repeating?  Terry McAuliffe as Governor of Virginia said we lose 93 million Americans a day to gun violence.”  Wow, Governor, with less than 400 million we have less than a week before man, in America becomes extinct.  He said, “If we lose 93 million Americans a day to gun violence, how many days do we have to pass a gun control bill before we run out of people to sign it?”  If it’s that massive and the carnage that prolific, Governor, it’s over, so no worries, just live the next few days as though they were your last, because, in your five, they are!

How about, former President Barack Hussein Obama’s unbelievable declaration that was not immediately laughed at and discounted.  He said, “it is easier for a 12 or 13-year old to purchase a gun, and cheaper than it is for them to get a book.”  I don’t know where he shopped for guns or books, but I can’t buy a gun for less than $20 but I can buy books at that price all day long and so can my grandchildren.

Just for grins, I remember the mental giant Sheryl Crow speaking on Climate Change and Environmentalism saying, “I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in one sitting.  Now, I don’t want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 or 3 would be required.”  Hey Sheryl, why use paper at all, just use your hand because that’s what you’d be doing anyway.

Al Gore created the Internet.  Obama visited all 57 states in America.  Joe Biden told us that Obama’s jobs plan was a three-letter word ‘J-O-B-S”.  How about Marion Barry, the former mayor of Washington, DC, “If you take out the killings, Washington actually has a very low crime rate.”  How about former Senator, Chris Dodd saying, “Eight more days and I can start telling the truth again.”  That was on the campaign trail.  Wait, you mean you were not telling the potential voters the truth?  What a confession.

The list is endless and yes, Republicans have made stupid statements too, but with this crop of geniuses on the Democratic side, if we like our Republic and want to keep it, we must REJECT THEM!

God bless you and God bless America!

TIME TO CALL IT WHAT IT IS…


Call what, what it is?  It is time to call the pandering to illegals, the shredding our Constitution, ignoring American citizens, and failing to govern in the best interest of America and the American people INSANE and DIABOLICAL!  Let me say, IT IS TREASONOUS!  That’s what I am talking about. 

It has irked me from the first evidence of the individual states issuing driver’s licenses to illegals.  Some of those states allow them to register to vote at the same time and afford them the opportunity to, with the blessings of the state, commit voter fraud.  The states taking steps to abet the commission of a felony is felonious and should be actionable resulting in indictments of the officials who become accessories in the commission of a crime.  It won’t be but it should be.

Approving driver’s licenses for people who have illegally entered the United States is a slap in the face of every legal immigrant and every U.S. citizen.  It is an abandonment of rational reason.  They call these illegals ‘undocumented persons’ not illegals.  When did the idea that an illegal act should become acceptable and rewarded?  What kind of lunacy and deranged mind concocts that notion?  Better yet, who are the people who vote for those lunatics?  I’m sorry for my harsh language but this is infuriating and incredibly dangerous for America and Americans.

I was taught at home and in school and through studying the Bible I have learned that “Rewarding bad behavior encourages more bad behavior.”  It never encourages change and correction.  If you are rewarded for ignoring the law, why pay any attention to it.  If a child is rewarded for throwing tantrums in private or in public, why would they not continue that behavior? 

If a person cheats in business and lies to gain what they want and is rewarded, why would they take an honest and ethical position?  There must be a penalty for violation of the law.  There can be no coddling or rewarding of those breaking into our nation illegally.  There can be no rewarding for cutting in line and skipping the legally mandated process for immigration.  That is lunacy and will eradicate our borders and strip us of our national sovereignty.

The Democratic hopeful, Mayor Pete Buttigieg has advanced the idea that we should give ‘reparations’ to illegals in the tune of $2.2 Trillion.  Wow!  He is the self-described so-called moderate Democrat in this race?  If that is moderate, I’d hate to see liberal.  He said that the United States owes compensation to the children separated from their families at the southern border.  He also declared that he would put them on a fast track to citizenship.  Basically, he would obligate the United States to pay the illegals an amount equal or more than all the taxes that will be collected in 2020.  So much for a booming economy, it would be history and our national debt would not double it would quadruple under his administration.

The Democrats apparently view the illegals as their new ‘voter base’ or ‘supplemental base’ hoping to replace some of the control they once held and are losing over other ethnic groups. The Constitution, America, Americans, appear inconsequential to them and what happens to us of no importance.  They seem to view being elected and ascending to a position of Total Control paramount in importance.  Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead.  If it means the destruction of the Republic, that to them seems a small price to pay for Control.  America, we must not allow them to reclaim power.  If we do, we will witness, first hand, the dismantling of our Constitutional Republic and America as the Land of the Free will be no more.

It is amazing how the Democrats are not only willing but determined to afford illegals more rights, benefits, and privileges than American citizens.  U.S. Citizens can lose their driver’s licenses if they break the law, but the plan of the several states now issuing them driver’s licenses elevates the criminal above the law-abiding legal citizen.  Is that really what you stand for if you identify as a Democrat?  That is the national policy of your party, and that would be enough to cause me to reconsider my political affiliation. 

I have heard this called a victory for the immigrant community, but I insist that it is a victory for the illegal immigrant community, not those following the law.  Lawful immigrants already had the right to obtain driver’s licenses.  Some politicians insist that this is the only sensible and moral approach for it will make it easier for them to travel and get jobs to support their families.  That is a problem, in my view, because it is ILLEGAL for them to work now.  It is ILLEGAL for any employer to knowingly hire an illegal.  Therefore, the sensible and moral argument goes out the window.  It is anti-American and anti-Constitutional.

These Leftists state governments are passing laws, offering edicts, and mandates that are a clear attempt to impede the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents from doing their legally mandated jobs.  These efforts by those states is an affront and a direct violation of federal law. 

The U.S. Code is unambiguous in its declaration that no individual, agency, state or local government entity or official can interfere with federal law enforcement efforts to collect, receive or share information regarding a person’s immigration status.  It is against federal law to harbor or conceals fugitives from federal law enforcement.  Where are the indictments?  America, the madness of Sanctuary cities and states and the rewarding of criminal behavior is causing harm to America and Americans and it must end.

When states or cities notify and warn illegals that the feds are on their trail and abet them in hiding or avoiding detection and capture, they are breaking the law.  The Democrats have been howling for over three years about interference in our elections and are opening the door for an incredibly large amount of voter fraud.  If they were truly concerned about legitimate elections and only those truly and legally qualified to vote, they would abandon this lunacy immediately.  The fact that they have not abandoned it but are escalating their pursuit of making it legal to break our laws suggests to me that they are only interested in buying votes, enjoying the quid pro quo of votes for benefits, and power.  America and Americans are not their primary interest.

This is another of the many reasons I am unable to consider voting for any Democrat.  I have friends, very good people, who are life-long Democrats as were their parents and grandparents.  Many of them are still unable to see what is truly happening and even though they do not approve of these measures, they believe that the Republicans are evil and plan to vote for their Democratic candidate. They insist it is the ‘lesser of two evils.’  I love America and want the best for this nation and her people.  That is why I will vote to defeat this lunacy and keep America the Free, Legal, and the Constitutional Republic it has been and should remain.

God bless you and God bless America!

WE MUST HOLD THE LAW ACCOUNTABLE TO THE LAW or PERISH…


With so much hoopla over the Impeachment and the State of the Union Address and happenings, I decided to write about something else. I decided to focus on something that is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous regarding the survival of our Republic. The Federal Law Enforcement’s Violation of the Law!

America, we are at a juncture in our Republic where it is imperative that we make some, possibly quite difficult and unpleasant, decisions in our government.  There are so many of those that to highlight one or two is almost an example of too little, but we must begin somewhere to achieve any restoration of our system of government and justice. 

Since the campaign for the 2016 election and subsequently, we have endured the most blatant abuse of the Law, the Constitution, and Ethics I have ever witnessed.  The animus toward Candidate Trump, then-President-Elect Trump, and now President Trump has grown steadily by those on the Left.  Prior to Trump’s election, they almost uniformly decried the relevance of the American Constitution.  They expressed, as did Barack Obama, that it was too restrictive and a document of negative liberties.  What he meant was it was too restrictive on the government and hindered him and them from freely doing what they wanted in his desire to ‘fundamentally transform’ this nation.

Now, they claim to be the defenders of our most precious governmental document, the Constitution. They does this all the while ignoring it, bypassing it, shredding it, and violating it in their quest to oust and destroy Trump.  Their vitriol is beyond the pale and is dividing this country so completely we may never recover.  During the eight-years of Obama, we witnessed a regression of race and class relations.  We have witnessed an increase in the political correctness insanity, the growth of Utopianism, the push for acceptance of socialism, and a direct attack on our foundational faith. 

Our 1st and 2nd Amendment Rights are being tampered with dangerously and in direct violation of the Constitution.  We have witnessed our 4th Amendment Rights trampled on by the abuses of the FBI and the FISA Courts.  I find it difficult to identify what I see happening in any other terms than “War.” 

We are beginning to become privy to increasing revelations about the abuses of the FBI and certain members of that organization. We are witnessing the vastness of the Swamp and the Deep State and seeing how determined those in Washington’s inner circle are willing to go to protect their own.  Why?  In my view, it is because so many of those in Congress have dirt on their hands or skeletons in their closets that would possibly cost them their positions if exposed.  Therefore, protect they do and protect they will. 

The IG’s Report indicated that there were seventeen specific violations that most believe, if intentional, were criminal.  They were abuses of the law whether intentional oversights or premeditated attempts to wage war against Trump’s campaign.  Neither is acceptable.  The FISA Court needs to go away, because of these abuses and the prospects of abuses in the future.  I am very pro defending against terrorism and international espionage, but I am adamantly anti-stripping Americans of our Rights and Constitutional liberties. 

We know that the former FBI director James Comey and his associate Andrew McCabe were at the head of this corrupt FBI Machine that abused and violated the law.  Why are they not under indictment and will they be in the future?  I would hope yes, but history does not lend itself to the fulfillment of those hopes.  However, I remain hopeful that John Durham and William Barr will see the incredible danger of failure to prosecute.  America’s future may well be hanging in the balance of their decisions.

Many, including myself, have been deeply disappointed that the FISA Judge Rosemary Collyer’s rebuke of the FBI is largely toothless.  If this results in nothing more than a slap on the wrist and an order to clean up the corruption, we will witness even more egregious violations in the future.  The FBI, a law enforcement agency, will become more of a Gestapo than a police force.  They will become, what they largely have become, a weapon against political opponents, and that is detrimental to our Freedom and our Republic.

The message being conveyed by inaction and wrist-slap injunctions is, “You can lie to the FISA Court with impunity.  There will be no punishment or accountability and if you get caught you will get slapped on the wrist and told ‘shame on you.’”  Demanding that they correct their infringements going forward is not a fix it is a cover and that lends to my view that the FISA Court has outlived its usefulness.  I say that considering the deviousness of those at the helm of the FBI in recent years.

We know that as far back as 2002 there were FISA violations by the FBI that Robert Mueller, the FBI Director at that time, promised to correct.  He clearly did not, and the FBI continued their abuses and expanded them as they sought to prevent Trump’s election and then in their effort to oust him from office.  We know that there were more than 70 violations in 2002 and Director Mueller promised ‘new procedures’ to fix the problem and prevent it from happening.  I guess if by ‘fix’ you mean to stack the deck against political opponents, he fulfilled his promise.  Otherwise, he failed miserably if he attempted at all.

In 2016, President Obama’s administration his DOJ dropped hundreds of violations against the court.  No consequences, no punishment, and no accountability resulted.  That opened the door to the most egregious and nefarious political dirty tricks to become reality.  No one in the FBI fears the FISA Court because they have learned over the past several years that they can lie to the court with no fear of punishment. They will continue to do the same if Attorney General Barr does not hold them accountable. 

America if we allow our federal law enforcement agencies to trample on the law, we will witness the destruction of our Republic.  It has escalated far beyond a two-tier justice system. We have and are witnessing the weaponization of national law enforcement and various bureaus of our government.  If we allow this to continue, we will destroy ourselves. 

America, we must somehow find the courage and determination to CLEAN HOUSE in Washington.  With the surety of voter fraud, illegals voting, dead people voting, unqualified people voting, and voting in multiple locations we face an uphill battle.  However, if we will commit ourselves to intercessory prayer, invest our time and money, and get out the vote WE CAN WIN!  Let’s show them that America still belongs to The People and We the People are Taking it Back!

God bless you and God bless America!

THE VIEW OF A FORMER LIBERAL…


Before anyone breaks out the boiling oil, tar, and feathers and secures a rail sufficiently strong to hoist me upon, let me state THAT LIBERAL WAS NOT ME!  I cannot say that I have ever been a liberal in my views other than regarding charitable giving, in which I believe strongly in being liberal in our willingness to give to good causes and to the Kingdom of God. That would be personal giving not government handouts. 

I hope everyone read far enough to realize that the former liberal of which I speak is not me.  If you are still with me, I would like to address some of the political climate now existing in America and how it has, does, and will affect everyone.  That is a lofty objective and one that I may not attain but it is worthy of me giving the old college try. 

I have talked with numerous liberals, some still in the Democratic fold and some who have strayed from the plantation and there is unanimity in opinion on some things.  One is that the Left in America is not a homogenous entity but a blending of numerous factions.  They largely have adopted the Middle Eastern philosophy, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”  Thus, they have worked with and even allowed the co-opting of their Party Platform by the avid activist on the Far Left to lead the way.  They almost all, have a disdain for anyone embracing conservative views or who follow advance Judeo-Christian values.  Therefore, those on the Far Left who hate us are deemed as welcome allies in their quest for power.

The unfortunate condition in America is that the Left has been hijacked by the purveyors of Democratic Socialism.  Those who are staunchly entrenched in the Marxist/Socialist philosophy are in control of the Party mechanisms and are driving the bus.  They have the singular objective of fundamentally transforming America into a socialist paradise.  Some of the traditional, more moderate liberals in the Party are beginning to realize that this agenda will swallow them up and eliminate their position and power.  However, they see no viable pathway to regain control of the Party.

If anyone was paying attention in the early and mid-1960’s they would have quickly realized that there was a hijacking underfoot and sought to use Martin Luther King, Jr. and the black community as useful tools in their objective.  Most failed to see that, and many still cannot embrace or admit that reality, but reality it is. 

The ultra-far left-liberals in the Democratic Party viewed blacks as useful and expendable foot soldiers for their cause.  They manipulated and beguiled them into believing they were the Party that truly cared about their plight.  If one researches the views of LBJ they would quickly realize that control was the objective not rectifying any perceived wrong.

The Uber Left have always viewed blacks and now Hispanics and any other ethnicity they can manipulate as people to be pitied, patted on the head, tossed an occasional bone, and used as their mascots.  They do not care about the needs of any of those groups. They care about power and control.  History reveals that it has been the Republican Party throughout our American history that has taken actions that have truly benefitted all ethnicities, not the Democrats.  But you never hear that from the media and will never hear it from the far-left activist professors in our institutions of higher learning.

Out of the civil rights and anti-establishment movements of the 1960’s came people such as Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn and others.  Those activists of the 1960’s became educators, politicians, and have been allowed to shape the minds of our youth for decades.  They have successfully produced generations of mind-numbed activists who follow their leaders like children and rats followed the Pied Piper. 

According to the liberals that I spoke to, there is growing trepidation in their ranks over the direction of their beloved party.  Those who love Big Government but want to maintain Capitalism and most of our freedoms are waking up to the reality that their party has been hijacked but the Far-Left Activist.  They are realizing that their future, position, place, and power is becoming endangered and they too will be swallowed up by the destruction of those now in control of the agenda. 

Academia is in bed with the Far Left and is the source of advancing that philosophy and ideology.  The entertainment community is joined at the hip with the Far-Left Socialist Communist agenda and ideology.  Those in the Old Democratic Party who would prefer a somewhat more moderate approach to government are realizing that the handwriting is on the wall and their days are numbered too.  Many of them believe, as do I, that it is too late for the Democratic Party to return to any semblance of moderation.

Here is one of my great concerns: They win the White House, keep the House, and reclaim the Senate in 2020.  I pray that will not happen and am cautiously optimistic about our chances of winning all three, yet I have concerns.  The RINOs within the Republican Party, the Never Trump Advocates, and the Liberal Activist are seemingly traveling the same path and that is cause for concern.  The RINOs and Never Trumpers want him defeated and believe that the Democratic damage or control would be temporary.  IT WILL NOT BE!  Remember the 8 years of Barack Obama?  We may never recover from the damage done to our system of government.

One of the liberals and former liberals said, “I hope Trump wins in a landslide in 2020 and the Republicans reclaim the House and keep the Senate.”  I was surprised at that declaration and he explained his reasoning.  He said, “If that happens there is hope that the Democratic Party will realize its own failure and those who want to move more to the center will regain influence and control of the Party mechanism.”  In a very real sense that would mean a divorce within the Party by the Far Left and the Left.  It would be bloody and could mean the end of the Party or its resurgence in a position more palatable to millions of voters who would see them as an alternative. 

If the Republicans would follow Trump’s lead, they could relegate the Ultra Liberal Leftism to the trash heap of history.  Will they do that?  They haven’t thus far, so there is little reason to believe they will become wiser in 2020.  Trump has the unique ability to talk to and resonate with people from all spectrums of life.  He can communicate with those in what is deemed ‘flyover’ America, those in the urban centers, the rich and the poor.  Why?  Because Trump is Trump and can be nothing else and that strikes a chord of hope in many hearts.  They believe he means it when He says, “America First.”  Those in the African American, Hispanic, and other ethnic communities are beginning to awaken and see that his policies have been better for them than the age-old Democratic offerings.

The Republican Party has the unique and possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity to redefine its message and perception among the working class in America.  If they seize this opportunity and follow the lead of the President, we can see a new era of conservatism, constitutionalism, and Americanism well into the foreseeable future.   Will that happen?  That depends on you and me.  Therefore, I ask that you join me and the millions like me in ensuring a win for Trump and the Republicans in 2020 and beyond.

God bless you and God bless America!

HAVE WE LOST THE BATTLE and FAILED TO REALIZE IT?


No, I am not a defeatist and no, I do not believe America is hopelessly lost, but I do see a clear and present danger that could become the fulfillment of my title question.  The battle for Freedom and America cannot be won solely on the political battlefield.  You may vehemently disagree, and I will attempt to articulate my reasons for that stance.  There is a way to win and, in my view, only one way to win.

Life is too short to spend unhappy and filled with hate or the erroneous belief that we are the any one person is responsible for how everyone else thinks, acts, or believes.  That seems to be the view of the incredibly unhappy leftists of today, largely in the Democratic Party.  There are PC activists who appear fully convinced that, in order to save humanity, they must transform the thinking and living of everyone.  They are miserably unhappy with their lives, largely due to their ideological beliefs, and their agenda, if realized will make everyone else miserable too.  I guess the old saying is correct, “misery loves company.”

I can honestly say today, I do not hate anyone.  I don’t know that I could have honestly said that a few years ago, a few months, weeks, or possibly even a few days ago.  I have stood before the Throne of God in Prayer and confessed my animus and animosity and asked forgiveness.  As I asked the LORD to unpack any hate in my heart, He obliged far beyond any expectation and I wept, knowing I was guilty.  I didn’t think I hat hate in my heart.  I excused my disgust as being righteous indignation not hate.  I justified my dislike and argued that it did not rise to the level of hate.  The Holy Spirit seemed to disagree and now that I have laid it on the altar, I do not want to pick it back up.

Hate is ripping our nation to shreds.  Hate is dividing families and estranging longtime friends.  Hate is creating an impasse in Congress and impeding our progress as a Republic.  Hate is drawing us back to positions and conditions that we had made great strides to overcome in almost every sector of society.  Hate is not exclusive to one ideological position or political party.  Hate is not exclusive to one religious sect or one sector of the country.  It has become pervasive and although denied, it is real.

If we continue fighting the Battle for the Republic on the political battlefield, the battle is already lost.  What is happening in America is no longer Republican vs Democrat, Conservative vs Liberal, or even Capitalism vs Socialism.  The battle is truly Good vs Evil but saying that sounds as though we are saying the Republicans, Conservatives, and Capitalists are all good and everyone else is evil.  If that is our view we are dangerously near the abyss of hate and destruction.  Each side in this political war seems to believe they are purists and holy and the other side corrupt and unholy.  That creates an impasse that politics cannot cure.

In my conversations with some devoted followers of the current liberal ideological agenda, I have discovered they are deeply troubled, filled with anger, and incredibly unhappy.  You may be one of the followers of that ideological tenet and take exception to my statement.  I don’t know every liberal so I cannot make a blanket statement that is one-size-fits-all.  I can only address those I talk to and those I see and hear on the national stage.  The deep resentment for this country’s founding is astounding to this American. 

Many on the Left express their enmity for our heritage.  They have been taught by professors and others who believe that our founding was immoral, and we unjustly created this Republic.  They do not believe in American exceptionalism and agree with Barack Obama that it does not exist or exists only at the expense of the rest of the world.  They want to create a Utopian world where everyone has the same success earned or unearned.  They want to create a world where we become a cookie-cutter version of humanity and mindlessly follow the politically correct code.  They demand fairness without realizing how unfair their demands are for those who invest themselves to achieve.  They are miserable and driven to make everyone else conform to their ideological views.

I have heard the many disparaging labels used by both sides in today’s political squabbles. Derogatory names are hurled about while claiming to be on the side of right and the civil ones in this battle.  Name-calling usually reveals something in the heart that is far from righteous and is birthed from deep animosity that borders on if it is not full-blown hatred.  I try to refrain from using the most-vile of those terms because I do not see them as productive and affording any hope of finding common ground for the good of America.

Nancy Pelosi, in announcing that there would be a vote on Impeachment said, “We have been working on this 2 ½ years.”  The unfortunate truth is that the crime they accuse the president of committing occurred in July of 2019, namely the Ukraine phone call.  Yes, they accused him of working with a foreign nation to steal the 2016 election but that fell apart almost from the beginning.  Their focus then became Ukraine and that was the basis of their Impeachment Articles passed in a completely partisan vote in the House.  Was her admission a Freudian slip?  Regardless it made their actions even more transparent. 

America has suffered unnecessarily over the past 3 years, as the Left has belched forth incredible vitriol and tirelessly sought to oust and destroy this president.  If we were not divided by hate, both sides could have worked to achieve much good for the American people in this booming economy and improving international conditions.  That has not been the case and it has become totally partisan politics.  If we cannot see how that fails and realize that fighting this fight strictly politically will result in defeat for both sides, we are not being observant.

I am unashamedly a Christian.  I believe that the only solution to the divide in America is for this nation and we Americans to reaffirm the truths upon which our Republic was founded.  Our founders were not necessarily pious men or even deeply religious, but our Constitution was clearly influenced by the teaching of the Bible and God’s moral law.  They believed that everyone has the Right to Life and the right to live that life without undue government influence, regulations, and restrictions.  They believed that every person should be allowed to enjoy Liberty and Freedom and pursue Happiness. 

Pursue Happiness?  I meet so few today among those who espouse the liberal ideological philosophy of today that are happy and find it difficult to believe they are pursuing happiness.  When I am miserable, I tend to think that everyone else is too and find it difficult to see that I might be quite alone in my morass of depression.  It is when I look beyond myself, looking upward and outward that I realize that I too can find hope and happiness.

America if we are going to win this war we must look inward and address the condition of our own hearts.  We must return to God and accept the reality that everyone does not think the same, live the same, believe the same, or want the same things.  We can disagree without destroying those who disagree.  In a sense, it is “live and let live.”

I am praying for America and praying that we will awaken, first in the Church, and then in the nation and once again become the Republic that our Founders envisioned and hoped to perpetuate into perpetuity.  One Nation under God with Liberty and Justice for All. 

God bless you and God bless America!

A MAJOR REASON WE MUST DEFEAT THE LEFT…


There have been many reasons offered by those of us who value the Constitution, want to keep our Republic intact, and want to see a sane fiscal approach, and the reduction in size and scope of the federal government, to defeat the Leftists.  Let me offer one more, that to me is high on the list of reasons to vote no on the national Democrats.  That is our Judicial System and the Courts.

I am thrilled that President Trump has gotten through more judicial appointments than virtually any president in our history.  I am thrilled that he has had two appointments to the Supreme Court, 44 Circuit Court justices, and 112 District Court justices.  That is phenomenal but is it lasting?  Some have said, this will extend well into the future and stymie the Leftist agenda significantly.  That is partially true and is only true if we keep them out of power.

I am surprised at how many in the public and in Congress seem to demonstrate a lack of awareness of the Constitution and its provisions.  Having just endured three-plus years of 24/7/365 attacks against this president what would prevent the Democrats from totally revamping our court system if they could?  Before you say, they cannot, let me offer a small warning – YES, THEY CAN!  They can use the very document we treasure, the American Constitution.

We know that Congress has the power to impeach both the president and judges.  It is unfortunate that members of Congress are aware of their power to pack the Supreme Court by expansion and many in the public think that the SCOTUS is the president’s court to pack.  The President nominates, but Congress can expand the number of justices but a frightening power it wields is the power to abolish entire federal courts.

The only federal court-mandated by the Constitution is the Supreme Court but regarding the ‘inferior courts’, Article III states that Congress, “may from time to time ordain and establish” them, which it has done numerous times.  The implied portion of that authorization and power is that they can also ‘abolish them’.  Simply, they can expand or contract the number, size, scope, and jurisdiction of those lower courts.  They would need more than the House of Representatives to do that, but should we allow them to gain full control of our government they have demonstrated a willingness to do ‘whatever it takes’ to achieve their objective.  America be damned and their agenda established.

That is far more than a hypothetical, it has already been done in our history.  In our fledgling years, there was a concern that outgoing president John Adams would pack the judiciary with federalist.  The Jeffersonians acted in 1802 to repeal the Judiciary Act of 1801.  They abolished the courts the legislation had created and made no provision for the displaced jurists.  Never mind that the constitution affords them lifetime tenure, The Supreme Court failed to acknowledge that omission and a precedent was set, and the courts are too heavily invested in precedent from time to time.

There will likely be a time when the Democrats will, once again, have full control of our government.  When that happens, they will follow the precedent and pattern set by this cutthroat group of swamp denizens and follow the model of ‘the end justifies the means.’  They will never allow a group of judges to thwart their efforts if they can prevent it from happening. 

Let’s go back to the idea of Congress packing the Supreme Court.  Yes, the president nominates but the number of justices on that court is not mandated by the Constitution.  That number is statutorily set by Congress and in our history, the number has been than nine.  The danger is that a liberal leftists legislature could raise the number to ensure an ironclad liberal majority.  If they raised it to 15 and packed it with leftists, they would have a rubber stamp for all that they desire, and we would become their serfs with or without the chains.

That idea was floated by FDR and he sought to do just that.  It has been proposed by some in today’s Democratic hierarchy.  They see it as a sooner rather than later prospect and the only hindrance they have is regaining power.  The Republicans are not as prone to use the tactics of the toxic liberal leftists but maintaining control of the government is imperative if we are to keep America free and a Republic.

Imagine an America where the Supreme Court was in the pocket of the Liberal Leftists Socialist Globalists Democrats.  Our inalienable rights would be in jeopardy and the PC Police would rule with jackbooted tyrannical power.  It would push the Republic over the edge of the precipice of destruction and the only possible outcome would be submission or war and forced submission.

Both sides, use the courts to validate what they want to do and often indicate that there is somehow ‘judicial supremacy’. That is not a constitutionally guaranteed power and as Andrew Jackson famously said, “The judges have made their decision – now let them enforce it.”  They cannot and that tosses judicial supremacy out the window.  However, as a Republic that values the rule of law and the decision of the courts, it would and that would create an ominous for freedom and liberty.

Those in the Democratic ranks such as Talib, Omar, Ocasio-Cortez, and others would not hesitate to take those drastic measures to ensure their power and control.  They would eliminate any ‘inconvenient judicial rulings.’  They would immediately impeach Justice Kavanaugh and any other judge that they considered a threat to their agenda. 

If the Left wins back total control of our government, Congress, the White House, and the Courts we will be faced with a 10th Amendment issue and the individual states will have to act in defiance of federal edicts.  We would have no recourse but to engage in state-level nullification.  Thomas Jefferson believed that was a ‘rightful remedy’ for federal overreach.  It would probably plunge us into a full-blown revolution with guns, tanks, troops, and blood being shed in our cities and streets. 

I do not want that outcome.  I am committed to defeating the Democrats at every level possible and keeping the window of hope and opportunity open to the Republic.  I am committed to praying for our nation, our president, those elected to govern, our judges, and all Americans.  The Hope for America, in my view, is that GOD ALONE provides real hope for our continued survival as the Free Constitutional Republic given to us by the Founders.

God bless you and God bless America!

THIS WAR IS NOT DEMOCRATS vs REPUBLICANS, It is Much Deeper…


America, we are at war politically in our nation.  It goes beyond a political coup to oust a president the opposition party does not like.  It goes beyond party labels.  It goes beyond liberal vs conservative, or right vs left.  It is a way between those who support the Constitution as it was written with its original intent, provisions, guidelines, and protections and those who want to strip it of its power and authority.  Although this may infuriate some, it is a war between Freedom and Tyranny and Good vs Evil.  You may disagree and I defend your right to do so, but that’s how I see it.

The constant usage of the labels ‘left vs right’, ‘conservative vs liberal’, or any of the other terms commonly used in today’s’ political debate is often confusing.  Frequently, it requires observation of the source of those terms or distinctions and to whom they are being applied to glean the meaning.  Many in the public are not invested deeply enough to quickly ascertain the purpose of the usage of those terms.  That is part of the problem and part of the plan to divide and conquer and fundamentally transform our Constitutional Republic into a nation diametrically opposite of what our Founders sought to ensure.

Some time back, I saw a reference in the Washington Post that applied the term ‘conservative’ to Barack Obama.  I laughed and then realized the probability of a deeply nefarious and destructive intent in doing so.  The former president is anything but a conservative even in the most liberal usage of that term.  He is a staunch big government advocate and squarely embedded in the liberal side of the political equation.  He is who he is and conservative he is not, has never been, nor will he ever be. 

There is a YouTube video in which Obama is heard saying, “I’m president and I can do whatever I want.”  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUhykHLjT6M  Of course, it needs to be put in proper context, but he said it and since Trump is taken out of context and misquoted saying, “I am president, I can do whatever I want” can we not put that on the table and ask the Democrats to defend it? 

From the time of the French Revolution, which began in 1787 and divided that nation for a decade or more, the political Left has always been those who advocate more government power and seek total control.  Those who want less government and more power in the hands of the people who want less government are identified as the political Right.  It is liberal vs conservative, but it goes far beyond that and if we only see this as a fight between Democrats and Republicans, we miss the big picture and the war is lost.

There are those like the “Squad” of new Democratic Socialists, members of the old Democratic Party like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren who advocate government providing for every need, want, and wish in life.  They believe that rights come from the government, not God.  They do not recognize any rights as being inalienable but bestowed as charitable offerings by the government.  They do not believe that we the people have the intelligence or right to govern ourselves, and theirs is a divine right (even though they do not believe in the divine) to rule us.  That ideology, agenda, and philosophy are becoming more pervasive among the adherents to the ideological view of the left.  It is destructive, dangerous, damaging, and will destroy our Constitutional Republic.

There are those on the Right, including the current president who believe that the American people are the rightful owners of the government.  They believe that the Constitution as originally written and in its original intent is to be the guide for our government.  The view held by those following the ideological view of less government is that the Constitution is a preventative tool designed to keep the government restrained and protect the people from those who would transform us into a tyrannical oligarchy or monarchy. 

It is a war between freedom and tyranny.  In that sense, it is a war between good and evil.  Please understand, I am not accusing every person who votes Democrat as being evil, but I believe the agenda of those shaping the platform, agenda, and pursuit of that party is evil.  I believe that much of the agenda frequently funded by people with devilishly evil intent such as George Soros is, at its core, evil and inspired by forces whose roots date back to the eviction of Lucifer from heaven. 

If we returned to operating as the truly Constitutional Republic there would be no federal involvement in education, energy, transportation, foreign aid, undeclared wars, and a myriad of other issues.  There would be no federal entitlement programs and the individual states would have their power and authority restored, thus returning the oversight and power of the government to you and me, the people.

The U.S. Constitution limits the federal government and specifies its powers and is, therefore, the best means of determining which side of the equation one finds themselves.  I am an American by birth, a Vietnam veteran, a legal citizen, a patriot, a Christian and an avid supporter of the Constitution.  The true test of which side a person is on in this American Internal War is the Constitution. 

Tragically, Congress and too often presidents ignore, confuse, misinterpret, or abuse the Constitution.  They overstep their Constitutional authority and damage the Separation of Powers clause and provision.  The 10th Amendment is incredibly important and, we the people of these United States of America must make our voices heard and demand a return to Constitutional governance by those in Washington.  That would mean respecting the 10th Amendment as well as the other amendments including the 1st, 2nd, and 4th. 

I agree with those who are now arguing that we should adopt a new test for politicians and policies.  We need to abandon the, often confusing, labels of ‘Left vs Right, Liberal vs Conservative, and Democrat vs Republican’ and turn to the Constitution.  The litmus question and test should be, “Is it constitutional or unconstitutional?”  Will the politician adhere to the Constitution or will he/she violate it?  The value of our Constitution is that it has provided us the framework of government that effectively separates the three branches and protected our freedoms.  We have enjoyed a beautiful system of ‘checks and balances’ and must return to the Constitution.

I truly believe that only as the corruption is fully exposed and those who have violated our trust and the constitution, as well as the law, are held accountable, do we have hope of restoring and preserving our Republic.  Mark Levin suggested that the next Democratic President must be treated the same was as Trump has been to prevent this type of destruction from continuing into perpetuity.  I disagree somewhat.  I believe that simply doing that will result in tit for tat and perpetuate this abuse and destroy us.  We need to hold legally and criminally accountable the violators and only as we totally uncover the corruption can we hope to see full restoration.  That will require an act of God!

I ask that every believer commit themselves to serious prayer for America, those charged with governing, and all Americans.  I ask that everyone consider the value and need of the Constitution in our Republic.

God bless you and God bless America!
