DEATH BY IDEOLOGY…


My title, Death by Ideology, may be puzzling and cause you to wonder, what in the world is ‘Death by Ideology?’  I am so glad you asked, and if you will give me a few minutes of your precious time I attempt to explain what I mean.  What I hope to articulate may or may not be perspicuous to you, but hopefully, it will engender serious thought.  If I succeed in eliciting a modicum of critical thinking in a few, it will have been worth the effort and I will have obtained my immediate objective.

Every person’s ideology is an integral part of who they are and determines what they are willing to invest themselves in the pursuit of.  The ideology of those following the toxicity of liberal, progressive, globalists, socialist thought, largely found in those on the Left, is integral to their power or the pursuit of power. 

The Democrats appear to be determined to codify political correctness into legislation and insist that it reflects settled truth.  They are unwilling to allow further discussion.  To them, their truth is Law & Gospel and any violation of their prescribed political correctness is to become an ideological heretic and a person who must be eradicated.  It is “comply or die”!  Maybe not die physically but socially, economically, and politically.  You are an unwanted blight on their Utopian world and cannot be allowed to infect anyone with your unwelcome questions.

They have failed, at every turn, to solve the problems they insist are causing humanity to hang precariously on the rim of societal destruction.  The welfare state and entitlement mentality, along with their policies and legislation have not solved the problem but exacerbated the huge problem of intergenerational dependency and misery.  They have succeeded in enslaving countless numbers of people in a state of utter dependency on the government.  They have, with the help of some of the Republicans, created a national debt that is more frightening than any horror movie. 

They have inspired a victim mentality in their insistence that it is abhorrent to civil society to disallow gender-neutral bathrooms.  Allowing pedophile men to go into women’s bathrooms with young girls is a real and present danger.  Any semblance of sane reason would reveal that a person with male genitalia, regardless of how they identify themselves, still has male genitalia and likely uses it as males do.  Is that something you want young girls exposed to?  I do not want a member of the opposite sex, other than the parents, to be in the bathroom with young boys or young girls.  The dangers or enormous and cannot be ignored.

There are always two sides to every issue and that reality was one of the founding principles and reasons that our founders and the framers of the American constitution hammered out the Bill of Rights and Freedom of Speech.  The believed and insisted that that freedom included religion and the unspoken protection of the Right of Thought. 

The PC Police, managed by the Left, want to police even our thoughts and compel us to comply with the authorized thought of political correctness.  That is problematic for me because I am an individual.  As an individual, my preferences and opinions are not necessarily the same as anyone else.  Additionally, I am a believer in the Bible and the Lord Jesus Christ and if any prescribed ideological thought is contrary to the written Word of God, I cannot ascribe to it. 

I have argued for almost all my life, that you cannot legislate morality nor can you via the legislative process control thought.  You may use academia to indoctrinate pliable young minds and make them predisposed to accepting certain ideological views.  You may use the media, entertainment, and political bribes to influence and encourage your desired ideological mindset.  You may do all those things, but you are still left with the reality that we are individuals and individuals sometimes stray from the plantation.

Sadly, millions of Americans no longer seem to exercise the cogitative portion of their brains and allow others to think for them.  Millions seem to have become docile sheep following their appointed shepherds and rats following the pied piper of the toxic ideology that embodies liberalism.  That presents a very serious and dangerous condition and a threat to the future of our Free Constitutional Republican form of government and life.

We have heard the demands for ‘social justice’, we have endured ‘affirmative action,’ and hear the incessant cries of ‘racism’ and ‘white privilege and supremacy.’  Those failed and divisive policies and ideological assertions are inviting the death of our Republic and thus I say that we are facing, ‘Death by Ideology.’  When those of us who believe in the Constitution, the Rule of Law, Freedom for Everyone, God, and the Bible cower in the shadows offering only token resistance we enable them.  That must end!  It is time for America’s patriots to arise and defend her and our freedoms!

We need men and women who have the intestinal fortitude (guts), the ability to articulate truth, and the willingness to place themselves on the line for the republic to step forward.  I am encouraged when I see people dare to stand against the tide of toxic ideological leftism and fight for true freedom for everyone.  Academia has been swallowed up with this ideological pursuit of rewriting history and the embracing of a brand of Marxism.  We have and are enduring the postmodern deconstruction of all meaning and our youth are being taught there are no absolutes morally, socially, or spiritually.  That opens the door for ‘Death by Ideology.’

I believe that if we are persistent, and use rational reason, facts, and civility we can achieve a victory by hitting the Achilles heel of that ideology, which is Reality!  If we can enable normal people to realize the dangers in allowing the hurling of accusations against those of us who are opposing their ideology as they accuse of committing abuses we do not, we can win.  If we find a way to articulate the dangers of socialism economically as well as in the realm of personal freedom, we can win.  If we target the Left’s affinity for deconstruction human nature into a plethora of mini-identities using fact, science, reason, and the Bible, we can win. 

We need to focus on the failed ideologies of those nations who have embraced those views.  Divide and conquer and then rule is their modus operandi.  The more divisions in identities, the more categories of victims they can create, and the more they can divide us, they succeed in bringing us to the brink of ‘Death by Ideology.’  Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and modern China have all embraced a dissected view of human nature and rejected the view of it as holistic.  In those nations humanity as an individual is first limited and then eliminated.  The State becomes the whole and the individual is left without rights.  We can win, but we must never stop articulating the truth and we must never stop praying!

God help us to wake up and stop this impending ‘Death by Ideology’ that is being pursued by the liberal leftists of the Democratic Party. 

God bless you and God bless America!

AMERICA WE WERE WARNED…


Our founding fathers attempted to place safeguards in our Constitution and in the Bill of Rights to ensure that our Republic could survive the deviousness of professional politicians.  Those safeguards were based on the assumptions that the public would continue to be engaged and the media would ethically provide truth and information that enabled the voters to decide for themselves. 

There has been the obvious failure of the public to continue to be engaged in the process. We have, for decades, been content to leave the politics to the politicians and were ignorant of their deviousness.  We allowed them to systematically strip us of many of our liberties, rights, and privileges they have no right or authority to infringe. 

As is the case when those in power acquire a taste for power and become blinded by their self-assumed importance the erosion of our liberties transpired.  We yawned at the occasional warnings of those in Congress or watchdogs dedicated to preserving our Freedoms and Liberties and the duplicitousness of the political elite is bearing its deadly fruit. 

Additionally, the media has been anything but non-partisan and unbiased in their reporting.  Regardless of which source you seek for information or ‘news’, you find a slant and a bias that is impossible to overlook.  Even in the days when our nation was in its infancy the media often had a bias designed to shape the opinions of the voters. 

If the media operated with integrity and reported the news allowing the public to exercise deductive reason and critical thinking, we would have ousted most of the nefarious parasites in Congress.  We would have never allowed the bureaucratic mess our gargantuan government has become. We were warned but failed to heed the warnings and now must pay for our apathy.  

I am both amused and disgusted by the self-righteous pronouncements of the current Speaker of the House and the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee that they are somehow the guardians of our Constitution and Truth. 

Nancy Pelosi has said that she does not want to Impeach Trump and is praying for him.  Seriously, Nancy?  You began laying the groundwork for impeachment immediately upon your party regaining control of the House.  Mr. Schiff, any pronouncement of self-proclaimed integrity from you is easily recognizable as hot air.  You have lied to the point that one must believe you are a pathological purveyor of fictional fabrications.  Your Gestapo type handling of the Impeachment Inquiry is far more revealing than anything you say.  Actions truly do speak much louder than words.

I can only imagine what could have been accomplished in our beloved nation over the past three years had the Establishment Republicans and Democrats worked with the President rather than resisting him.  The accomplishments in the face of almost total obstructionism by the Democrats and backstabbing and betrayal by the RINO’s have been impressive and appreciated. 

The Democrats and the unelected bureaucrats in Washington laughed at the idea that Donald J. Trump could be a viable candidate for the GOP nomination.  They smirked and sneered at the very thought that anyone with no political background could be considered a serious candidate.  That was their first mistake but not their last.

Donald Trump did not engage in the normal political schmooze of cozying up to the elitists and dancing to their drummers.  Rather, he spoke to an entirely different crowd and won the hearts of millions of Americans who were tired of the corruption, the business as usual approach of both parties in previous administrations.  He spoke to the populace with real promises and convinced millions that he was serious.  He did not have to run, he was wealthy.  He did not need the notoriety he was already famous.  He did not need the connections, he was already well connected with business networks across the globe.  He was a businessman who convinced people that a new approach was needed.  He was right!

His message and tactics infuriated the elite. He did not listen to them or kiss-up to them as politicians of the past had done.  He went to the people with a message that resonated.  He had rough edges and was not the consummate polished politician that we had grown accustomed to.  He did not say one thing in De Monies and another in Topeka.  He did not make a promise in Dallas and another in Sacramento.  He conveyed the same message across the nation and spoke of doing things differently.  That was a threat to the old boy system and the cronyism of Washington. 

Hillary, the DNC, the FBI, the CIA, Homeland, the IRS, and the Media immediately began a campaign and covert and overt attempts to derail his candidacy once he was nominated.  James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey worked in a conspiracy to cover for Hillary and Obama and trash Trump.  They conspired with fabricated and altered documents to obtain surveillance warrants to spy on Trump and broke the law repeatedly.  The Trump train kept climbing the hills and breaking down the barriers they attempt to throw up.  Then to their utter dismay, He won the election!

Once they realized they could not prevent him from assuming office they began the implementation of their plan to IMPEACH the president.  He was their nemesis and an unwelcome thorn in their sides.  He was a threat to their oligarchy and rulership and that could not be allowed to stand. 

They have continued their metamorphic journey from Russian collusion to obstruction of justice, and now Ukraine calling it quid pro quo, extortion, bribery.  They have produced no evidence and in fact, have exposed their nakedness and involvement in corruption.  Yet, they continue.  Do they care about the damage this is doing and has done to our Republic?  It appears that power is more important than principle to them.

Thomas Jefferson offered some considerations about politics that we should remember.  He said: “In a free society, differences of political sentiment result in different political parties. These sentiments resolve themselves naturally into two basic parties: the authoritarian (or monarchist, tory, etc.) that favors government that controls the people, and the democratic (or republican, liberal, etc.) that favors government controlled by the people. The body of the nation chooses a path that is mapped by one or the other of these parties.”  He also said: “Were parties here divided merely by a greediness for office…to take a part with either would be unworthy of a reasonable or moral man.”

I believe we have reached the condition embodied in Jefferson’s sentiments.  It is time that we, the American people, take positive action and unite to keep our Republic Free and Constitutional.  It is up to us to regain our oversight of the government and through the ballot box choose the path for our nation that leads to the preservation of our Freedom.  Let us return to being “one nation, under God and indivisible.”  Let us return to being the land were “all men are recognized as having been created equal and possessing certain inalienable rights including Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” 

I am standing for Faith, Family, and Freedom and will vote NO on the Democrats and the Socialistic agendas being advanced.  I will vote for Freedom, Liberty, and our Inalienable Rights.  I ask that you join me in 2020 and beyond to Keep America Free and Constitutional.

God bless you and God bless America!

AT WHOSE FEET DO WE LAY THIS?


What or who is truly the blame for the rise of the favorability of Socialism among the Millennials and Generation Z?  What or who is truly the blame for the shift in the Democratic Party to an anti-capitalist mindset and pro-socialism agenda?  I wish I could say it was simply the result of being misinformed or not informed.  I wish I could, but believe it goes far deeper than that. 

            Is there any group or event or events that can be blamed?  Well, yes there are several suspects.  I say a survey conducted by the Cato Institute that sought to explore the beliefs of Americans regarding wealth and the wealthy.  It disturbed me for many reasons and raised a red flag of warning that cannot be ignored.  That report suggested that 47% of those who identify as American Socialists believe that taking violent action against the rich is justified and even commendable. 

The fact that I’m not rich does not reduce my concerns.  I have learned, in my journey in life that hate is never satisfied and once it has devoured its primary object it creates another.  This hate will not be satisfied with violence against the rich, but it will expand and is expanding to include anyone who disagrees with them.  That is a threat to any civil society.

The Cato Institute survey found that rather than embracing the American Dream of striking it rich, the Socialists in America, especially the young, were far more inclined to ‘strike down the rich.’  The survey found that 47% of those under 30, which amounts to about 35% of all Americans, believed that violent action against the wealthy was sometimes justified.  That is incredibly disturbing.  What are they being taught?  How did they arrive at this worldview and political view?

The survey found that 20-30% of those under 30 were more likely than those 65 and older to Believe:

That the rich got rich by ‘taking advantage of other people.’  (57% to 27%). That billionaires are a threat to our system of government. (51% to 26%). Feel angry when they read or hear about rich people.  (44% to 11%). It is immoral for society to allow people to become billionaires. (39% to 13%). That citizens taking violent action against the rich is justified. (35% to 10%).   That redistributing wealth from the rich to the poor is right.  (53% to 20%).    That raising the top marginal tax rates is the right move.  (62% to 43%).

Contrast that with the commentary in ‘Consumerism’ in July that “Millennials Want to Be Rich More Than Anything.”  WHAT?  I believe that materialism is very closely associated with a loss or diminishing of the Christian faith and the absence of teaching the basic principles of life.  If one perceives or believes in nothing beyond the material world they will be driven by materialism and view the objective of personal gain worth any price.  Simply, those who want to engage in violence against the rich want to be rich.  It is a heart problem, a spiritual problem, and it is rooted in envy and greed.

Who or what do I blame?  There are many places to lay blame.  I believe that the secularization of religion (Christianity) is a key player in the creation of this condition.  I believe the abdication of parental responsibility allowing the government and the schools to shape our children’s philosophies and beliefs is a factor.  I believe the insatiable thirst and quest for power and control by those in power is an element that must not be overlooked.  I believe that the absence of personal responsibility is a factor. 

Therefore, I blame ministers who have turned the church into motivational, feel-good, gatherings while ignoring the warnings of scripture and the need for core moral principles and accountability for wrong.  I blame parents who have shirked their God-given responsibility to ‘train up their children in the way they should go’ and allowed the public schools and the government to take over that responsibility.  I blame Educators who have pursued a planned path of brainwashing our youth, rejecting the truth, sanitizing history to their preferred presentation, and leading them away from everything biblical, and moral. I blame politicians for their willingness to destroy the Republic and millions of lives to gain their positions of power and control. 

But, at the end of the day, it is a personal matter and each of us must make a reasoned choice about how we live, what we believe, and what we will allow to influence us.  I am eternally thankful that in my early twenties I accepted Jesus as my Savior.  I am thankful that my parents and grandparents taught me personal responsibility and moral values.  I am grateful for those patriots of American history who fought for my Freedom and those spiritual pioneers who blazed the trails that I could discover who God is and what I could be.  I am thankful that I learned early in life that I was owed nothing and there was no free ride. 

I envy no man or woman.  I begrudge no person of any success they have achieved or inheritance they have been bequeathed.  If you were born rich, that is both your blessing and curse.  If you become rich through ingenuity and hard work, that is your prize.  I do not want your money to be taken from you and given to me simply because the government decided there needed to be some ideological equality.  I want to pursue my destiny in life without undue interference by the government or anyone else.  I want to live in peace with all people.  I want to ‘prosper and be in health, as my soul prospers.’

I love America and willingly accept what I believe to be God’s call on my life to be a Watchman on the Wall.  I do not believe that I am more spiritual or insightful than others, only that when I see danger, I must sound the alarm.  You may or may not agree with my views and what I see as dangers, that’s your privilege, right, and prerogative.  Yet, if I am, to be honest with my perceived responsibility as a Christian, a Preacher, a Patriot, and a Lover of America, I must persist. 

God bless you and God bless America! 

WILL AMERICANS WAKE UP AND TAKE ACTION?


Will Americans wake up, smell the coffee, and decide that enough is enough or will we continue down the road to destruction?  This impeachment craze being advanced largely by the infamous and nefarious Congressman from California, Adam Schiff is troubling. 

It is troubling because for over three years we have been bombarded with the incessant push to ‘Get Trump’ the evil ‘orange man.’  The Democrats have largely ignored matters of governing and devoted their full attention to Trump.  They have needlessly spent taxpayer dollars that could and should have been used to address our nation’s needs.  Will Americans wake up and take action or will we allow this to continue for another and possibly 5 more years? 

Congressman Schiff’s method of conducting this investigation into the alleged improprieties of the President has been revealing.  No, it has not revealed any evidence of wrongdoing by the President but revealing as to the intent, plan, and willingness to conduct a clandestine coup attempt to oust a duly elected president.  The Congressman began his diatribe and rhetoric almost immediately after the 2016 election and has repeatedly claimed ‘concrete evidence’ against Trump.  However, he has failed to produce even a whiff of that ‘rock solid’ documentation he claims to possess.  Congressman, if you have the goods on the President, then put the evidence on the table for everyone to see.  Put up or shut up!

He began the his investigation behind closed doors and in many ways locked the Republicans out of the loop.  He then orchestrated or allowed a series of selective leaks to the press to maximize his allegations and advance his cause.  Someone said, “Schiff stole his own thunder.” 

When I watch his face and look into his eyes, I see someone who is deeply troubled and I believe there is something at work in his life that is beyond the norm and natural.  I don’t know if he believes his rhetoric and diatribe and is disillusioned and confused or is filled with arrogance and hate to the point, he is willing to do anything to achieve his objective of Trump’s destruction.  Either way, he is a danger to our system of government.

If Donald John Trump, the 45th President of these United States, did half of what they have accused him of, he should be removed.  However, there has been no evidence of his complicity or engagement in the impeachable offenses they allege. 

On the other hand, there is verifiable evidence that Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and numerous others on the Left have violated both our Laws and our Constitution.  Nobody seems to care about those improprieties and are fixated on Trump.  That causes me to ask, “Will Americans wake up and take action?”  I keep hoping and praying for America.  I pray for those whom I deem enemies of this Republic.  I pray for those charged with leading this Republic.  I pray for the American people that we will return to our Constitutional and moral moorings and take the necessary action!

It has been and remains my belief that the Democrats do not truly believe they can amass Congressional support or to both impeach and convict the president.  What I believe is they have pushed their chips to the center of the table and gone all-in hoping that they will garner enough public sentiment to defeat Trump in 2020. 

They are counting on Americans to remain somewhat ambivalent and dependent upon what is reported in the media to shape their opinions.  They are counting on many Americans not taking the time or making the effort to truly investigate the investigation and allegations.  They are counting on us being sheep and lead us to the slaughter or the pasture they desire to place us.  Will Americans wake up and take the needed action?  Will we resume our Constitutional duties of giving oversight to the overseers?

Some of the polls recently have indicated that many Independents and those who are ‘undecided’ are tuning out the hearings and are bored with the diatribe and nothingness in the testimonies.  Most people grow tired of ‘hearsay’ and while they may find gossip a tasty morsel briefly over time, they find it a waste of time.  This charade has not reached its crescendo and already there are signs that the American people are bored and want Congress to move and deal with our Infrastructure and other issues that affect our lives daily. 

Someone said, “If Americans turn against the impeachment effort, they will punish Democrats for not attending to other, more important, priorities.  Let’s face it, impeaching the president will not make our roads better or lower drug costs.”  I hope they are correct and agree that this has been much ado about nothing and a demonstration of ‘sour grapes’ and the unwillingness to accept the ‘will of the people’ through a legitimate election. 

They failed to show that Trump stole the election with Russian help, but we have documentation of illegals voting for Hillary.  They failed to show any evidence of Quid Pro Quo, but we have clear evidence of Biden holding Ukraine hostage to funds unless they did what he desired to protect his son.  We have Obama and Hillary engaged in questionable if not illegal activities through their official power and positions.  We hear nothing but crickets over those realities but blaring trumpets on Trump’s supposed evils and crimes. 

Someone said, “Adding to the public’s ennui is that the resolution of the impeachment is a foregone conclusion is like Agatha Christie revealing whodunit in Chapter One; it steals the story’s punch and intrigue.”  The Democrats will not cease their antics and if Trump wins reelection we are going to see more of the same.  No, we will see an escalation of Congressional hearings and activist rioting and disruption. 

The Democrats may or may not realize they are driving their bus of destruction toward the abyss at high speed.  There are fringe elements on both sides itching for a full-blown war to break out.  They are not the ones that concern me the most.  The ones that concern is the more middle of the road citizens who are being pushed to the breaking point.  If they break, then the dam breaks and War results.  Nobody should want that to transpire.

The witnesses have not corroborated Schiff’s claims but rather have largely deflated his concrete balloon.  He brings out witnesses that have no information, no evidence, no first-hand knowledge. Why?  Why bring them out?  It is an attempt to sway public opinion that Trump is incompetent and unhinged.  It is to solidify the control of foreign policy in the hands of the political establishment and strip that Constitutionally delegated duty from the President. 

They are trying the president in the court of public opinion and hoping to obtain a victory in that arena.  I pray they fail, and America wakes up, smells the coffee of reality, and takes the appropriate action.  We need to elect the right people and dis-elect those trampling on our constitution and system of government.

God bless you and God bless America!

SUCCESS OR POLITICS – Which Is More Important to You?


I have, for a very long time, been turned off by politicians and the political jockeying in America.  However, because politics is part of our System of Government and affects life, I must stay engaged in the process and fight for freedom!  That endeavor is often a taxing endeavor and stretches my patience to the limit.  But I consider Freedom and the Free Constitutional Republic too great a prize to cede to the Leftists without a fight.

In each of the Democratic debates, the proof has been in the pudding revealing that they not only do not appreciate or respect our Republic. They appear to desire the complete and fundamental transformation of it into something foreign to the vision of our Founders.  That, to this American, is distressing.  I cannot imagine how anyone enjoying the benefits of our economic system and our freedoms could embrace their agenda, but millions are.  That causes me to ask, “Success or Politics – Which Is More Important to You?” 

I wish I could say, that most believe success outweighs partisan politics but in today’s political shenanigans it appears that politics takes a position of greater importance.  The Democratic hopefuls wanting to be President seem to be oblivious to the successes we have enjoyed which have benefited most if not all Americas over the past three-years.  They refuse to acknowledge the robustness of the economy under Trump, an economy that Obama insisted would never exist again.  They refuse to recognize the benefit to all Americans who want to work as the job market has expanded to the point that unemployment is the lowest in modern history. 

There are those who claim to be Republican and Conservative that have a strong dislike for our military.  I don’t know if they served or understand the benefit of having a strong regulated military presence in the world.  One of the best means of achieving peace is to be prepared for war. 

I know of no veteran who has served in combat that prefers war to peace.  War is hell for everyone, not just the combatants.  War is sometimes unavoidable and was it not for our strength and ability to defend ourselves we would have been invaded long ago.  The Democrats seem to detest our military and that is revealed in their restrictions on the men and women in uniform, their funding or resistance to funding our military.  I suppose their view of those of us who have served could be no better revealed than in their treatment of veterans through the Veterans Administration. 

One thing that stands out to me as I listen to and read the statements and positions of the Democratic Candidates is their willingness to divide America.  They seek to divide along racial lines.  They seek to divide us through class envy and greed.  They fan the flames of hatred for the rich, especially the super-rich.  Most of those candidates are wealthy and much of their wealth has come through their political connections or positions.  Yet, they insist that one of America’s greatest problems is the rich.

They have learned and have been inspired by diabolical dark forces in the unseen realm, that people who do not have are prone to envy those who do.  When we inspire people to believe that the rich are keeping them from their deserved abundance, we can build a coalition of opposition.  That’s what the Democrats are attempting to do, believing that if they can make us hate the rich enough, we will vote Democrat and ‘stick it to the rich.’  Sadly, those who embrace that envy and hate fail to realize that hurting them hurts everyone in many ways.  It does not provide those lacking with more which is the mantra of the Left.  Socialism cannot work in practice and is flawed in principle.  Wake Up!

The debates have opened the curtains and exposed how the Democrats plan to govern or rule, which is probably a more appropriate description.  They want to dictate to us how we live, where we live, where we work, how we educate our children, what kind if any medical care we receive, and how we travel.  They want to strip us of our fundamental inalienable rights of Freedom of Religion, Speech, remove our ability for self-defense, and demand that we embrace policies and agendas that are in direct conflict to our religious faith.  That makes politics more important that success and makes the government more powerful and authoritative than God and the Bible.  I reject that!

Nikita Khrushchev predicted that we would be destroyed from within and said, “The United States will eventually fly the Communist red flag…the American people will hoist it themselves.”  That is a frightening prediction and one that I summarily rejected when he said it but now wonder if he might have seen beyond what I believed possible.  Benjamin Franklin warned that we had been given a Republic, “if we can keep it.” 

For me, the 2020 elections are about Freedom vs Tyranny, love for America or hate for her, and Free Market Capitalism vs Socialism.  The choice has never been clearer than it is this time around.  Every election is going to be the most important we have faced because the Left is going full-bore on transforming us into something other than what we were designed to be, the Free Constitutional Republic where all men are viewed as created equal and possessing certain inalienable rights.  If we want to maintain our freedom and remain a Republic, we must reject them in 2020.

God bless you and God bless America!

IS COMMON SENSE DEAD?


I am serious in my question?  The Political Correctness and the nullification of so many things in today’s society, I frequently ask myself and others, “Is Common Sense Dead?”  Somebody rightly asked, “Why do they call it common sense when it is so uncommon?”  There are many things I could use in this discussion, but I will selectively extract one or two to suffice.

The Gender Nullification activism that is growing in America and around the world is alarming to this American.  I am a father, a grandfather, a husband, a brother, a son, a patriot, a veteran, and most importantly a Christian.  My core conviction is that God is the Creator.  I have unrelenting belief in God’s Word and therefore trust what the Bible says far more than what the government or man says.

The Bible declares in Genesis 1:27 – “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”  Also, in Genesis 5:1-2 – “…God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created.”    I trust God and he did not create 112 genders as google now suggests but 2, male and female. 

The idea of Gender Fluidity is a relatively new idea that argues that gender is not ‘fixed’ as the Bible indicates, DNA demands, chromosomes demand, and genitals reveal.  The idea advanced by those wanting to rewrite the Bible and science suggest that gender can change along a spectrum of masculine-feminine and encompass elements of both genders.  Then there is the idea of Gender Dysphoria that argues that there is distress associated with a mismatch between biological sex and gender identity.  That is not a biological issue but a psychological one and created by our depraved society.

We also encounter Body Dysmorphia which is an entirely different condition, they argue, that is characterized by strong feelings that the body is flawed. Basically it is saying God, you blew it when you created me, and I need to correct your error.  I would hate to stand before God and try to argue that.  We encounter Transgender which has morphed into meaning so many different things but basically is the idea that gender is fluid and changes with changing attitudes and conditions.  We have the Transsexual which seeks to correct God’s error (their view not mine) by transitioning from one biological gender to another via medical (hormonal or surgical) means.

The list found among other places is detailed at https://dudeasks.com/how-many-genders-are-there-in-2019/ and I suggest you read it for yourself.  The list and definitions are more than troubling, they scream that ‘common sense’ has completely vanished from planet earth.  

New York City’s Commission on Human Rights has taken a position that slaps sanity and common sense in the face with their 31 recognized genders which include names such as ‘drag king, drag queen, butch, femme queen, gender fluid, gender blender, gender bender, and gender gifted.’  I have no idea what they truly mean in some of those but know they are rubbing it in our faces and attempting to force us to accept things that are foreign to common sense, genetics, science, and the Bible. 

I believe that the end game is not empowering people to be who they truly are but to dis-empower those of us who hold to traditional and biblical values.  They are seeking to dis-empower those of us who value the traditional two-parent family of mother and father, male and female.  I read a statement by Theodore Dalrymple, an English writer, and retired prison doctor and psychiatrist who has studied this extensively. 

He said: “Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better.  When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity [integrity, honesty].  To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself.  One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded and even destroyed.  A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”

That is disturbing and causes me to ask again, “Is Common Sense Dead?”  The lunacy regarding open borders is part and parcel of this agenda.  The idea that America should become a Socialist nation is part of the package.  The Political Correctness that seeks to force Americans to abandon their God-given right to “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” embodied in our inalienable rights and constitutional protections. 

The modern Democrat Party has abandoned common sense and is on a mission to destroy what our Founders and the Framers gave us in the late 1700’s.  They are pursuing a pathway that will lead to Tyranny, Despotism, and the loss of most if not all our freedoms and liberties.  How millions are embracing that political agenda is beyond reason and forces me to ask, “Is Common Sense Dead?”

If they win in November 2020 and retake the White House, keep the House of Representatives, and reclaim the Senate we will incur infringement upon or rights and liberties like we have not yet witnessed.  The Supreme Court will be expanded and packed with liberal activist jurists.  The lower courts will be packed.  The intelligence agencies, the IRS, national law enforcement agencies and the Department of Justice will become weapons against those of us who resist.  The regulations will become monstrous, the fines, fees, and taxes will be astronomical, and we will become unwilling serfs of the State.  Bernie Sander’s 97.5% tax rate on billionaires will seem minor compared to what they will do to those of us they have deemed deplorable. 

God help us wake up, return to God and our moral moorings and allow Common Sense to be restored!   WAKE UP AMERICA! 

God bless you and God bless America!

SOCIETAL AND POLITICAL SUICIDE…


I have been deeply concerned about the direction of our nation politically, morally, socially, and politically for a long time.  When I raise the spiritual issue there are those who otherwise agree with me, show me the door, they want nothing to do with that aspect.  I have had those who religiously follow CNN, MSNBC, and the Main Stream Media call for my head or incarceration and demand that I be silenced on all social media platforms over my insertion of God and the Bible into the discussion.  If you believe that God has no place in government, you may dislike what I write, but I believe as I believe our Founding Fathers believed that God and the Bible are an integral part of our Freedom and existence as a Republic. 

The degeneration and declension of our moral, social, political, and spiritual values are too evident to miss.  Many of the problems we face today are directly traceable to that decline and can only be rectified by a return to our moorings and not through legislation.  The government cannot ‘fix’ our problems and 99.9% of the time they ‘exacerbate’ them.

Many of our social, moral, political, economic, and spiritual problems have been increased exponentially through various government interventions, regulations, legislation, and edicts.  The overt contempt for the family, more definitively the two-parent family has been growing for decades if not centuries.  I could contend that it had its beginnings in the 1960s, but that would be wrong.  I could argue that it began with the communist manifesto and agenda in 1848 but that too would be wrong.  I believe it began before the Garden of Eden, but it assuredly found its way into our word there with the snake, Adam, and Eve.  Rebellion against God and all that was morally right was promoted and the fruit of that kind of rebellion is destruction.

Much of what we are seeing gained significant ground under Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt.  The Democratic Party’s declension and disintegration expanded, and the Leftists moved with much greater freedom with the New Deal.  FDR expanded the role, scope, and power of the federal government like no previous president.  The tentacles of control and intrusion into our lives began to spread and we have been paying a high price.

The New Deal of Roosevelt expanded the power of the federal government and because the unemployment rate dropped people accepted it.  The sad thing about that is it is a typical response for people to give up liberty when it affects them economically.  That is also what happens when people are offered a program that ‘sticks it to’ the wealthy or someone they deem undeservedly better off them themselves.  Greed and envy are terrible monsters that rip the fabric of any society apart.  The government cannot ‘fix’ that only God can and only we can by having a change of heart. 

The Anti-War movement of the 1960s was a key element in the galvanization of the Liberal Left and pushed us down the road to Socialism and the revamping of our Republic.  Barack Obama called it ‘fundamental transformation’ and others call it ‘revisiting’ the Constitution and bringing it into the 21st century.  I argue that it does not need to come into the modern mindset but our modern mindset needs to re-embrace the principles it was founded upon and embraced. 

The disintegration of the nuclear family where there were two-parents was targeted somewhat covertly by Lyndon Johnson and his ‘Great Society’ program.  Some of the quotes that have been verified made by President Johnson reveal his true heart and attitude and it was not the betterment of blacks, families, or anyone, but the expansion of the power he and they wanted to be lodged in the hands of the Leftists.

In 1960 the percentage of children born out of wedlock was 5% that number has risen to about 40%.  That is astounding and frightening!  Sexual immorality is celebrated by much of our society and even in our public schools, there is the intensified promotion of sexuality.  When a public school, issues free condoms as part of their effort to prevent unwanted pregnancy they are sending a mixed message, at best.  Rather than informing the parents of problems, they deem themselves to be the guardians of our children and their morality.  I disagree and so does God. 

When states follow the edict of their administration and even the federal government to counsel a young girl regarding abortion and not inform the parents that is dangerous.  I consider it directly counter to valuing the family and parental authority or responsibility.  I disagree that it ‘takes a village to raise a child’ but argue that it takes ‘parents, and preferable a mother and a father in the home.’  When the federal government rewards unwed pregnancies with welfare funds it damages our society’s fabric and shreds our moral values.  With the government’s welfare program, one would think that would lower the number of abortions, but it does not. 

When a society becomes greedy, self-serving, and self-centered filled with envy and hate it becomes nonfunctional and counterproductive.  The Left has, at least nationally, abandoned God and the principles of morality.  They have abandoned civility and although they argue that we must be inclusive and tolerant, they exhibit intolerance that results in violence when anyone disagrees with them. 

The advocates of government-run everything and those who seek the eradication of our borders have an objective that is dangerous if not deadly.  The willingness to give up our inalienable rights based on the fallacious idea that we will be safe and everyone will coexist is dangerous. 

The abandonment of moral principles and the attempts to sanitize and rewrite history to express a desired view rather is dangerous.  America, if we continue this path and continue our moral, social, political, and spiritual decline we will be guilty of committing national suicide and dooming our children and grandchildren to tyranny.  I cannot knowingly do that!  I must fight for Faith, Family, and Freedom so long as I am alive.

God bless you and God bless America!

HIGH CRIMES and MISDEMEANORS – Where Are They?


According to the U.S. Constitution, the impeachment of the President of the United States is to be based on provable, “Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors.”  There is no pathway for a crime-less impeachment, but that appears the avenue down which the Democrats in the House of Representatives are traveling.  The national mainstream media is touting the validity of their claims and reporting, as fact, distortions, fabrications, and altered transcripts as proof.  That is a tragic situation and reveals a terminal condition in our Republic.

The argument that Trump endangered America’s national security by delaying lethal aid and Javelin missiles to Ukraine.  However, when we examine this supposed crime, we discover the missiles are the same missiles and aid that former President Obama refused to send to Ukraine.  If Trump committed a crime, then Obama committed the same crime. How is Obama lauded as a Great President and Trump an evil law-breaking devil?  How is that for hypocrisy?  Trump delayed them Obama refused them, so I am forced to ask, “Which action presented a more dire and dangerous for America’s national security?” 

The Democrats are claiming that President Trump demanded that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hold a press conference and announce an investigation of Joe and Hunter Biden.  The assertion that Trump’s demand included the quid pro quo that the funds and aid would not be forthcoming until and unless that happened.  What are the facts and timeline in this supposed crime and demand?

Was that supposedly demanded press conference held?  It was not.  Did Ukraine announce they were investigating the Biden’s?  They did not.  Did the Ukrainian President get an Oval Office visit?  Yes, he did.  Did the U.S. provide the aid to Ukraine?  The facts are that we sent $400 million in arms and Javelin missiles.  Wow!  Such a powerful quid pro quo, right?  It certainly appears fictitious.

According to the American Constitution, who is charged with deciding whether we send military aid to any foreign nation?  You guessed it, the President of the United States, the Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces. He can delegate that responsibility to a National Security Council staffer overseeing matters related to Ukraine.  That authority is not in the purview of the CIA, or any other member of the Deep State or Swamp.  The onus is on the President, so how is this a crime?  The transcript of the phone call deflates all the arguments of quid pro quo and reveals the depth those in the Destroy Trump camp are willing to descend to get him. That is not what America needs and not what our Constitution provides. 

The Democrat plan and desire for impeachment began before Trump’s election and assuredly after his election.  The groundwork was being laid before his inauguration and has continued incessantly since.  There has been a concerted effort to hinder and delegitimize his election and presidency beyond any examples we could cite in our history.  The falsified dossier claiming Russian collaboration and collusion was advanced as proof positive of his guilt.  A document bought and paid for by the Clinton camp and the DNC. 

The Washington Post published an article on the day Trump took the oath of office that the ‘campaign to impeach President Trump has begun.’  That was Day One!  Oh well, so much for accepting the outcome of an election as Hillary and the moderators in the debate demanded from Trump.  I guess acceptance was only if Hillary won as they believed was assured. 

There has been a mountain of bogus reasons to impeach the president presented by the Democrats.  Trump’s travel ban designed to prevent any incoming terrorists from questionable locations was a prime example for them.  He must go, he is evil.  They have claimed that impeachment is required over the Emoluments Clause and that has failed.  His firing an inept, insubordinate, and corrupt FBI director was obstruction of justice was their claim.  That too has failed and shown to be bogus.  We endured over two-years of Robert Mueller’s desperate search for anything to hand on Trump and that has failed.

What now?  The July phone call between the President and his Ukrainian counterpart.  The unredacted transcript of the call has been declassified and released to the public and it refutes the claims of the whistleblower and destroys Adam Schiff’s claims of corruption and impeachable evidence. 

Richard Nixon did something that was unarguably wrong and so did Bill Clinton, but what has Trump done wrong?  Any U.S. President requesting any foreign nation to investigate corruption and the origins of that corruption and the corrupt in peddling the Russian conspiracy theory is not a crime.  That fallacious accusation in the dossier damage America and needs to be fully exposed and any crimes committed addressed. 

The incredible abuse of power that the Democrats are engaging in is the very thing they accuse Trump of doing.  They have demonstrated the willingness to use any tactic and go to any length to damage if not destroy the President.  Their true colors were put on display in the Brett Kavanaugh hearings using uncorroborated claims to attempt to destroy a man, his reputation, his career, and his family.  The New York Times the outlet that broke the story finally admitted that the alleged victim had no recollection of the incident. 

What kind of precedent is this endeavor of the Democrats going to set for the future in America?  No American President will ever be safe again to conduct the duties of his office without having to constantly look over his shoulder wondering when a fallacious charge will result in impeachment.   We will endure a never-ending stream of kangaroo court investigations and our country will be irrevocably divided.  This dangerous path is placing America on the road to destruction and opening the door to a hell none of us want to encounter. 

America, if we do not put a stop to this kind of partisan mindlessness, we will provide the cover for American’s destruction.  I am unwilling to sit in silence while that happens.  You may not like President Trump, and you may vote for someone else even a Leftist Socialist, that is your choice. But if you love America and want us to remain the Free Constitutional Republic we were established to be, join us in stopping this madness and drain the swamp and dismantle the deep state as much as possible in 2020. 

God bless you and God bless America!

CAN WE OVERCOME GENERATIONAL IGNORANCE?


By Generational Ignorance I am speaking of at least two if not three generations of Americans who have been indoctrinated with ‘Political Ignorance’ and the ‘Toxicity of Liberal Thought.’  That has transpired through our institutions of higher learning, the media, Hollywood, political activist, and various social justice organizations. 

We have witnessed the ‘anti-everything crowd’, of the 1960’s, become professors in our colleges and universities.  We have witnessed the planned dumbing down constitutionally.  We have witnessed the attempted sanitization of history.  We have witnessed the development of political correctness that has produced a ‘snowflake society’.  We have yet to see the full impact of those generational efforts by those who oppose our American System of Government and Economy.

I recently read a study conducted by ‘Mind Share Partners, Qualtrics and SAP’ that reported that about 50% of the Millennial’s and 75% of Gen Z have left a job for mental health reasons.  If that does not trouble you, what will?  The ‘American Psychological Association’ reported that the percentage of people dealing with suicidal thoughts increased by 47% from 2008 to 2017.  Does that trouble you?  Companies such as Cisco has reported that 7% of its U.S. workforce is accessing some form of mental health and substance abuse treatment.  Does that trouble you?

Let me suggest that when you have a generation of people who have never been held accountable and have no work ethic instilled in them, you face this type of problem.  When you compare the percentages of the Millennial’s and Gen Z’s to the Baby Boomers you find that in the Baby Boomers less than 10% left a job due to mental health-related reasons.  The study did not have a metrics to evaluate the WWII generation, but I’m sure it was even less.  Why?  I believe it is Work Ethic!  It was that they and the Baby Boomers were taught. We learned that there is no Free Ride and we had expected to work for what we got and held accountable for our actions.  We have done this to ourselves and the fruit of that tree has yet to reveal how extensive the damage will be. 

That brings me to the issue of Climate Change and the hysteria of the Millennial’s and Gen Z’s as well as those who have bought into the rhetoric of older generations.  I don’t know if you remember but TIME Magazine published an article on June 24, 1974, titled, “Another Ice Age?”  The article suggested that the atmosphere had been gradually cooling for three decades.  It contended that that trend showed no evidence of reversing and there was an impending calamity coming in the form of ICE.

That cataclysmic disaster did not transpire, and the reports began to emerge that the planet was gradually surprisingly warming. The result was that the Global Warming theory began to be advanced replacing the Global Cooling theory.  Neither theories are settled science.  Both are rooted in fear-mongering and are tools used by globalists to send generations into a paranoid state and thereby gain control of our resources and liberties. 

In 2005 there was a Gallop poll asking Americans to identify what they believed was our greatest problem and Global Warming did not make the top ten.  That sent the Climate Activist into a panic and into action, because they understood that they had to increase the fear, or they would see their efforts fall by the wayside.  They began an intense marketing campaign to sell Global Warming and create a paranoia that fossil fuels were destroying the planet.  Al Gore got on the bandwagon and financial gravy train and did his 2006 fake documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.”  They have worked tirelessly while too many on the Right sat silent.

In 2018 there was a Gallop poll that showed that 70% of Americans 18-34 are somewhat worried about ‘Global Warming’ or ‘Climate Change.’  The intensity of the marketing campaign has increased yearly and will continue to be a major effort of the Leftists. 

Let me explain the problem, as I see it.  No, I am not going to address ‘Climate Change’ but those who believe it.  The Millennial’s and Gen Z’s embrace the theory and paranoia. They believe that man-made global warming is doing incredible harm to the planet and poses a threat to America.  Millennial’s such as Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez a Global Warming Climate Change advocate has over 5 million followers on Twitter.  That is disturbing!  Democratic hopeful and former Vice President Joe Biden has said, “We must take combustion engine vehicles off the road as rapidly as possible.”  That is alarming and should serve as a warning to all Freedom Loving Americans!

The Climate Activist attempt to sell us on the idea of what the earth temperature was millennial’s ago to a tenth of a degree.  However, reliable and accurate historical temperature data was only available a few decades ago.  Some asked, “Were thermometers calibrated to one-tenth of a degree millennial’s past?”  If you took a thermometer placed in service 50 years ago, would it register temperature to a tenth of a degree? 

The fact that the Millennial’s and Gen Z’s believe so strongly in man-made climate change or global warming is a threat.  When they ascend to power and positions of governance what will they do legislatively?  You guessed it, they will enact laws and regulations that plunge us into the abyss that those laws and regulations will impose. 

When they become the ones governing, we will see energy become so costly many will be without the required energy to cool or heat their homes.  We will find businesses unable to operate due to the escalated costs and goods and services will become scarce.  We will see Agenda 21 fully implemented and our ability to own and drive personal vehicles will disappear.  Private ownership of a home will be a memory and we will be forced into condominium living in high-rises and forced to use public transportation.  Rural living will become a thing of the past unless you are willing to go back to the horse and buggy days of yore.

They will enlist the IRS to help individuals fight the dreaded climate change using their own personal funds.  Taxes will go through the roof, regulations will stifle the economy.  They will force the New Green Deal or a variation on America as the Democrats did Obamacare.  It won’t matter if we like it, agree with it, or want it, once they are in Power, we are going to get it. 

I do not know how we overcome Generational Ignorance.  The only hope I see for America and the world is divine intervention and God just may leave us to or ignorance.  However, I will continue to attempt to debunk their theories, fight for candidates who demonstrate they are Constitutionalists and Conservatives.  I will fight for Faith, Family, and Freedom so long as I breathe the air of planet earth.  Please join me in defeating the Globalist, Leftist, Socialist, Progressive, Democrats in every election and at every level.

God bless you and God bless America!

DEDICATED TO DESTRUCTION…


Dedicated to Destruction is, in my view, a perfect description of those following the toxicity of liberalism and socialism being advanced by the modern Democratic Party.  They have pushed all their chips to the center of the table and are ‘all in’ in their quest to destroy Donald J. Trump.  They did not like the outcome of the 2016 election and in their minds believe that he could not have won legitimately.  After all, they are the guardians and protectors of we the ignorant masses of society, right?  In their minds, in their minds.

I agree with those who contend that this quest and 24/7/365 push to oust the president began on election night.  Well, it truly began when it was apparent, he would be the Republican nominee.  They loved him when he contributed to Democrat candidates as a businessman but once he became the Republican nominee, he was instantly transformed into Lucifer himself, in their minds.  He became a traitor, a turn-coat, and one worthy of destruction.  That’s how they view us, ‘the Deplorables’. 

They deem us beyond ignorant.  Those non-Democrat Never Trumpers call us names like minions, cultists, and Trump-bots.  They argue that we have no principles and those of us who are followers of Jesus Christ are deemed heretics and our sin is unforgivable.  I’ve been told by other believers that my support for Trump is a sign that I am not saved and have abandoned my faith.  But, if I counter, I am accused of being judgmental, a racist, bigot, or some other name.  I have learned that life is a two-way street.

When I review the history of mankind in the Bible, I find some interesting happenings.  I discover that God sometimes used people who were not saintly to achieve His purposes.  His purposes are always redemptive and used to bring His people to their senses and, at times, to defeat the enemy that was a threat to His people. 

I did not vote for Donald John Trump because I considered him a saint.  I did not vote for him because I worship him, as one person accused me of doing.  I voted for him because he was other than where we had been and where we were heading.  I voted for him to bring about a restoration of those principles upon which we were founded and hopefully drain the swamp.

In this quest by the Left, which can be called nothing but a ‘coup’ against President Trump, it matters not that there is no evidence of a crime or corruption.  Each failed attempt is followed closely by another attempt.  When the Russian hoax failed, they created another and another and another.  The Ukraine charge is another fabrication but if or when it fails, there will be another.  If Trump wins a second term, the rhetoric and resistance will not diminish it will escalate.  We are treading in dangerous waters and I am terrified by what I see as the potential outcome of their ‘dedication to destruction.’

Nancy Pelosi was asked what she would do if the whistleblower accusation involving Ukraine collapsed.  She said, “We have many other, shall we say, candidates for impeachable offense in terms of the Constitution of the United States but this is the one most understood by the public.”  WHAT?  That is saying that no matter the lack of evidence and no matter how many times Trump and his team swat down the charges and expose their fallacy, there will be another effort to drive him from office.  If that is not a total ‘dedication to destruction’, a ‘coup’, or ‘witch hunt’, what is? 

America, is that what we want from elected officials?  Do we want a Party in power who spends all their efforts, energy, and taxpayer funds in a quest to destroy the elected president?  I thought that by now, Americans would wake up and realize that the ‘do nothing but attack’ tactic of the Democratic Party is damaging our Republic and system of government, but they haven’t.  Millions are completely oblivious to the damage and dangers or they just don’t care, and both are tarrying.

Immediately upon his election or within 24-hours there were riots in the streets and the massive destruction of public property.  How many of those took place when Barack Hussein Obama was elected?  Do you remember the publicized announcement by the organizers at Act Now to Stop and End Racism (ANSWER) announced?

“In a shock result, Donald Trump has been elected president – but the people can rise up and defeat his bigoted, extreme right-wing agenda! The ANSWER Coalition is mobilizing across the country to organize and take part in emergency actions.”

On December 15, 2016, just weeks after the election, Vanity Fair published an article by Emily Jane Fox with the headline – “Democrats Are Paving the Way to Impeach Donald Trump.”  He was not even inaugurated president and already they were laying the groundwork to charge, try, and convict him in both in the court of public opinion and in Congress.  His first term was being defined by the Left as one of constant contention and organized efforts to block, resist, and destroy him.  If America was damaged in the process their attitude was “damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.”  Their mortal enemy had to be destroyed!

America, if we do not wake up and see what is happening and prevent it from continuing, we are inflicting what may be a mortal wound to the Republic.  You may not like or support President Trump, that’s your choice.  I have no problem with you not liking him or liking his policies.  I do have a problem with your complicity in destroying our Republic and System of Government.  If you don’t like him, remember we have elections.  I was not a Trump fan in the primaries or before, but I like where we are and support him.  There are times, he does or says something that causes me pause.  However, what he has done positive and good for the Republic is, to me, undeniable and worthy of praise. 

I am grateful for the restoration of our economy, a restoration that Obama and the Democrats claimed to be impossible.  I am grateful for the lowering of taxes across the board which has helped millions not just the wealthy.  I am grateful for the attempts to protect our freedom of speech, religious liberties, inalienable rights, and bolster our military strength so that we are safer as a nation.  I am grateful for the nominees and appointees to the courts who are far more constitutionally minded than any of Obama and some of Bush.  I am grateful for the attempts to stem the tide of illegals invading our country for whatever reason they seek to come.  I see many conservative and constitutional actions he has taken and am grateful. 

I ask that you consider where we were and where we are.  I ask you to ask yourself, “Do I really want to allow America to be transformed into a Socialist nation and see more and more government control?”  If you do not want to go back to the destructive policies of Obama or move forward into the Socialism being proposed – VOTE NO on the Democrats!  

God bless you and God bless America!
