THE inconvenient truth.

“In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

-       For some seventy years, our children have been taught to disrespect authority; whatever the form. Government, police, teachers, bosses, parents…. our children, many of whom are adults now, are brought up in a culture of disrespect and are told that disrespect is a quality to be admired.

-       Madonna, Che Guevara, Miley Cyrus, “Chelsea” Manning……our children are told that these people are heroes. HEROES. The previous generations? Bill Ayers, Timothy Leary, Jane Fonda…

-       For some seventy years, our children are told that they can make ANY choice they want, without fear of consequence and without ANY personal responsibility.

o   Want to abuse drugs? No problem….the state will provide the needles.

o   Want to be promiscuous? No problem….if something happens, blame the unborn child, then kill it.

o   Want to kill someone? No problem…..blame your upbringing, blame the gun, blame society. Then, become a cult hero.

And, legislatively, we have set up, in official terms, the release of personal responsibility.

-       For seventy-odd years, we have taught our children that the exercise of their rights is more important than the rights of others. In other words, they can make ANY choice, whether or not that choice violates the rights of others. The greatest example of this is, of course, abortion.

-       For seventy-plus years, there has been a systematic attack on “family”; Welfare, “single motherhood”, “gay” marriage, etc, are all designed to diminish the core unit of a successful society. Without family, core values, morality, respect for others, are absent. Without family, the state becomes the moral compass, the state becomes the teacher of core values, the state becomes “family”.

-       For some seventy years, our children are taught that winning is unfair, that participation is the same as winning and that no one loses.

No family.

No moral compass.

No values.

No personal responsibility.

No consequences.

And, today, we, somehow, cannot fathom how tragedies like Parkland happen. 

The New Slavery (A History of Legislated Discrimination)

Note to readers:

You would think that this anniversary would be cause for celebration by Liberals. With each act, within the scope of the law, advocation of “individual, fundamental freedoms” and a triumph of “Women’s Rights”.

Yet, 60 MILLION abortions go unheralded, without fanfare,  uncelebrated. Why?

Today, January 22^nd, marks the anniversary of “Roe v Wade”: the Federalization of abortion law and wide-open door to the indiscriminate butchering of the most vulnerable in our society.

Happy Anniversary, Liberals. You must be VERY proud…

The New Slavery 

Throughout the history of the United States, pieces of legislation have been drafted in direct violation of the Constitution and the other founding documents. These violations, almost always, come in the form of legislated discrimination. The Constitution itself seemed to support the rationale for some of these laws, which included (but were certainly not limited to) women, blacks (and other non-whites) banned from voting, the legality of slavery, etc.

But, in truth, the Constitution neither legalized nor advocated any of these.

Contrary to what is claimed by Democrats, there is no justification for slavery to be found in the Constitution. But, there is a very important reason for their claim: throughout American history, the greatest proponents and defenders of slavery (and other forms of legislated discrimination) have been…the Democratic Party. Rather, the Constitution merely recognized that slavery was existing law.

The “3/5 Compromise”, as it is called (“…Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons”), does not discuss the race, creed, gender, etc, of those to be counted as “3/5 of a person”, directly conflicting with the Liberal claim to the contrary. In fact, it states SPECIFICALLY, that “…the whole Number of free Persons…” were to be counted for taxation and apportionment. This “whole Number” INCLUDED free blacks, living in non-slavery states. In their argument against the relevance of the Constitution, Liberals fail to mention this fact.

With regard to women not having the Right to vote, Liberals glom onto the phrase, stating that “…all MEN are created equal…”. But, in truth, this is like the bible verse, found in Matthew 18:21-22 “Then came Peter unto him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times? Jesus said to him: I say not to you, till seven times; but till seventy times seven times.” By similar interpretation, a Liberal should conclude that forgiveness need only happen 490 times. Obviously, this is not the case. Rather, “seven”, in biblical times, referred to an infinite number….Jesus saying that forgiveness must happen an “infinite times infinity” times. So it was in the early days, when “men” referred to ALL people…not just men.

It is therefore no real surprise to know that, even today, Democrats continue to pursue fundamental, legislated discrimination. Variously, issues from “hate crime” legislation and “Affirmative action” to our modern day progressive tax code and embryonic stem cell research and funding comprise merely the latest efforts by Democrats to continue their legacy of Democratically-legislated discrimination, seeking to qualify the citizenry, separating them based on race, creed, gender, gender-identity, stage of life, etc. In the most recent times (since 1973) the primary target of Democrat hostility and discrimination is the unborn and the partially born. In the case of former President, Barack Obama, Senator Barbara Boxer and (shamefully) a few others, this hostility extends to some who are newly-born. (In the remarkable case of Boxer, hostility extends throughout a newborn’s stay in hospital.)

Any way you define it, abortion is The New Slavery.

A LEGACY OF LEGISLATED DISCRIMINATION

Our founding documents (The United States Constitution, Declaration if Independence and Bill of Rights), with regard to “equality”, are VERY clear:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
- The Declaration of Independence

Beyond the fact that the CLEAR intent in these words is to make clear, without question, that these rights are a) “unalienable” (unable to be taken away), b) begin at the moment a person is “created” and c) “endowed by our Creator” (“Creator” with a capital “C”). This statement also makes clear that “happiness” is NOT guaranteed. Rather, the “pursuit of happiness” is guaranteed. This is a critical distinction and lies at the root of not only the equality issue but also the Liberal pathway to legislated inequality.

I know of no one who makes the claim that racism, sexism or homophobia doesn’t exist. They do exist. To deny this truth is to express one’s ignorance of reality. However, whether these “-isms” exist is NOT the relevant issue here. What IS relevant is whether they are “institutional”. By that, I mean legislated.

Throughout the history of legislative action in the United States, laws have served as a reflection of the ideological mix of Congress. Belief in the interpretation that the Constitution guarantees happiness, Liberal ideology requires legislative action which supports and enforces their idea of “equality”, vis-à-vis “happiness”.

TSA PROCEDURES (Discrimination, based on “Right to privacy”)

Although Justice Harry Blackmun, in drafting the “Roe” decision, identified a “Right to privacy” in the Fourth Amendment, Liberals do not, for whatever reason, regard the same Right as applied to body scans and physical pat-downs. As is absolutely consistent with Liberalism, the “Right to privacy” is not equally applied. Rather, “Privacy” is granted to whomever Liberals deem “worthy”. “Privacy”, Liberals contend, in THIS case, is not an “unalienable Right”.

SLAVERY (Discrimination based on ethnicity)

At the time of the writing of the Constitution, slavery was a legally accepted reality in the United States. In today’s terms, it’d be considered “stare decisis” or settled law. The two majority parties at the time, the Democratic Party and the Whig Party, held somewhat differing positions with respect to the issue of slavery; Democrats being staunch supporters and defenders of slavery law, the Whigs somewhat against it (but unwilling to fight the battle to abolish it). (It is a popular Liberal claim that the Constitution legalized slavery. In fact, no such legalization is to be found in the Constitution. In fact, the Constitution simply recognizes the existence of slavery and clarifies it in terms of taxation and apportionment for representation).

HATE CRIME LEGISLATION (Discrimination based on race, gender, etc)

Whether race, religious or gender based, hate crime legislation provides for greater levels of punishment based on the motivation for a particular crime.

With the tragic shooting of a Congresswoman in Arizona, Liberals IMMEDIATELY pushed for special legislation, which would levy heavy penalties to anyone threatening an elected official (never mind that America already has such a law, applicable to ALL: assault).

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION (Discrimination based on race, gender, etc)

The practice of hiring based on race, gender, gender choice, etc, serves to favor one group (minorities, etc) over another (Caucasians).

TAX LAW (Discrimination based on income, gender, marital status, etc)

The United States Constitution provides for the collection of various taxes by Congress (for those who argue that taxation is “unconstitutional”, this simply is not the case). The argument, appropriately, is a) the degree of taxation levied upon the citizenry and b) the discriminatory actions with regard to “who is taxed what”. Liberals choose to favor certain groups (the poor, minorities, etc) over other groups (the wealthy and successful).

THE “SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE” (Discrimination, based on creed)

Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to the Danbury Baptists penned, “…believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State”. Although this specific language is not found in the Constitution, the notion that the Federal Government is forbidden from meddling into a citizen’s personal religion of choice, is: “…Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”. The inspiration for this part of the First Amendment came from Merry Olde England, when the King, having been disallowed his divorce, rejected the Catholic Church and established the Church of England; the official state religion.

According to our Constitution, with respect to religion, the Federal Government has two responsibilities:

- It is specifically forbidden to establish a state religion
- It is specifically forbidden from prohibiting the free exercise of religion

In their relentless pursuit of legislated discrimination, Democrats twist the intent of the first part of this clause (no prayer in public schools or public places, no religious symbols in public places, etc), while ignoring the other.

In public schools, it is against the law to pray. In fact, a student is not even allowed “a moment of silence”, in the event that someone might take offense. Liberals, in defense of this law (wholly written, supported and defended by Liberalism) claim that this law is in keeping with the first part of the establishment law in the First Amendment. The Liberals are wrong; for in fulfilling their interpretation of the first part, they grossly violate the second part, “…or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”

THE NEW SLAVERY (Discrimination, based on stage of life)

In 1973, a Supreme Court decision ushered in the latest iteration of Liberalism’s drive to legislate discrimination. Roe v Wade, which became Federal Law in January, 1973, provided Federal legislative protection to any woman choosing to terminate her pregnancy. Although originally constructed with strict limitations with respect to the age of the fetus, the new law disregarded a fetus’ “humanity”, defying 100% of biological and genetic absolutes with regard to the definition of “human”.

To date, approximately 60 MILLION unborn American children have been sacrificed on the altar of Socialism, with no end in sight. In fact, Democrats continue to pursue the expansion of abortion. Just this past week, nearly 200 Democrats voted against “The Born Alive Infant Protection Act”.

Defended now as “settled law”, Liberals claim that Roe CANNOT be overturned. But, as with slavery, history will prove them wrong. Again.

UNDERSTANDING THE MOTIVATION

Upon review of the above-listed examples of a clear history of legislated discrimination by the Democratic Party, one would be right to ask, “Why”? “Why would Democrats…Liberals…Progressives…encourage, protect, defend and generate ever-more…discrimination?

To truly understand the answer, a broader view, encompassing other Liberal agenda items and beliefs, must be taken into account. Specific examples of these include Darwinism (reducing humans to “merely an animal” status, Kelo vs New London decision (2005) which severely reduced the right to private property, etc.

The intent of legislated discrimination is to lessen the value, or render valueless, humanity; to reduce humans to “just a species of animal”, thereby stripping human beings of “unalienable Rights” and removing the notion of a “Creator” from which fundamental Rights derive. After all, when one group, whether classified by race, creed, gender, gender preference, stage in life, etc, is deemed unworthy of equal protection and not “...created equal…endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights…”, then no race, creed, gender, gender-preference, stage in life, etc, is safe from discrimination.

Translation: fundamental, “unalienable Rights”, are endowed at the discretion of Government, not God.

And the battle is FAR from over. Consider current pursuits of Liberal legislators:

- Embryonic stem cell research (and the Federal funding of…). (Discrimination, based on stage of life)
- “The Fairness Doctrine” (Discrimination, based on ideology)
- “Net Neutrality” (Discrimination, based on ideology)

All of these, some enacted into law, create legalized discrimination.

BOTTOM LINE:

Conservatives believe that ALL people are created equal and endowed, by the Creator, with certain unalienable Rights. Therefore, no law, designed by humans, has the ability to supersede the Rights endowed by our Creator.

Liberals, on the other hand, believe that THEY, the Government, may decide which people are considered equal and that THEY, the government, determine who has Rights.

And truly, both these belief systems are held for the same reason.

Both sides KNOW that either EVERYONE is equal (the Conservative view), or NO ONE is (the Liberal view).

The Tax Bill

Now that the tax bill has passed both houses and has been signed by President Trump, I figured that I’d make a few comments…

First: a couple notes.

-       Do not allow the media, or anyone else, to tell you that tax cuts cost the government ANYTHING. They don’t. Tax cuts allow Americans to keep a higher percentage of the money THEY work hard to earn.

-       Tax cuts don’t necessarily mean that employees (private side) get a pay raise. Although this is often cited as an example of how “Trickle down” economics DOESN’T work, it is far from the truth, as it doesn’t consider the whole picture. Two pieces of that whole picture:

o   If a person making $50k/year, for example, is taxed at, say, 25% (net), their effective operating capital is $37,500/year. If that person’s tax rate (net) is cut to, say, 20%, their new effective operating capital becomes $40,000, an INCREASE of $2,500/year (an effective pay raise to around $53.5k/year, taxed at the old…25%...rate).

o   If the price of goods and services REDUCES (because of tax cuts to businesses), the buying power of the dollar INCREASES which, in effect, is also a pay raise.

-       The notion of “tax cuts for the rich” is another lie, intended to mask the truth of how tax cuts improve the economy. The simple truth is that when taxes on businesses increases, they pass those increases directly to consumers. So, increasing taxes of “the rich” and businesses actually ends up increasing the taxes of consumers and make their (consumers’) dollars less powerful.

-       The notion that “tax cuts to the rich” DOESN’T help the poor and middle class……is a lie. Unless those “rich” folks are stuffing mattresses with money, their money is being invested (which finances companies, who invest in equipment and employees). And, with decreases in goods and services, the buying power of the dollar increases, irrespective of income level.

The vote

          It’s VERY important to note that no Democrats…..not a single one…..voted for to approve this tax package. It is important for the very same reason that it continues to be important that ZERO Republicans voted to approve Obamacare; it draws a CLEAR line in the sand, between how Democrats and Republicans view the Federal Government’s role in our lives. Democrats want to consolidate power at the Federal level, Republicans want power consolidated in the citizenry (in private hands, in keeping with the Constitution).

          In addition to the ZERO Democrats, TWELVE Republicans voted NOT to pass the tax package (these gutless pols should be remembered when next they are in campaign mode…):

-       Dana Rohrbacher (CA-48)

-       Darrell Issa (CA-49)

-       Walter Jones (NC-3)

-       Frank LoBiondo (NJ-2)

-       Christopher Smith NJ-4)

-       Leonard Lance (NJ-7)

-       Rodney Freylinghuysen (NJ-11)

-       Lee Zeldin (NY-1)

-       Peter King (NY-2)

-       Dan Donovan (NY-11)

-       John Faso (NY-19)

-       Elise Stefanik (NY-21)

So…….the abject failure of Obamacare is 100% OWNED by Democrats. How the tax bill affects the economy will be 100% owned by those Republicans who voted to approve it.

It CAN’T be clearer than that!

Deficit

-       The first thing that the media and Democrats will point to, as this tax bill goes to work, will be the inevitable increase in the deficit. And, yes, it WILL increase. But, a couple things must be considered:

o   If Congress does nothing about the automatic increases to entitlement spending, and does nothing to spending, in general, the debt will continue to increase in the long term.

o   After an initial increase in deficit, there will follow a decrease (assuming no changes in spending). Why? Because with more money in private hands, revenues will INCREASE (more manufacturing, more employment).

We have some VERY tough fights coming up, because we…..YOU AND ME…..must DEMAND that spending MUST be cut, and cut SEVERELY. And, while that is being done, other tax proposals must be put in place

o   A dollar-for-dollar direct tax reduction on charitable organizations that directly replace entitlements.

o   A near dollar-for-dollar direct tax reduction on ALL charitable giving.

o   A dollar-for-dollar direct tax reduction on foundations established that address health insurance, schooling, etc.

The objective here is to VASTLY increase the effectiveness of money spent on entitlements; specifically, by moving those entitlements from public hands to private hands.

Employment

-       Anyone who pays attention to ONLY U-3 Unemployment Rate misses the bigger picture. That bigger picture MUST include Labor Force Participation Rate. What this tax package will do, in the long term, will be to REDUCE the U-3 Unemployment number while INCREASING the Labor Force Participation Rate (under the last administration, while the media and Democrats touted the overall increase in employment, they failed to take into account the Labor Force Participation Rate which, taken into account, proved to be a net LOSS in employment over eight years).

Buying power (Addressed above).

          Bottom line? When you DECREASE prices of retail goods and services, you INCREASE the buying power of the dollar. So the SAME wage becomes an INCREASE in effective wage.

This tax bill reveals the fundamental difference between Liberal and Conservative philosophies.

Liberals believe that Government should be in control of power, money and the citizenry.  

Conservatives believe that THE PEOPLE should be in control of power and money (as is contemplated in the Founding Documents)….and the government.

WHY DON’T LIBERALS SEEM TO CARE ABOUT DEFICITS AND DEBT?

The only time Liberals seem to care about the REAL costs of a Government program is then that program shows a profit…..which is never.

And the only time Liberals care about debts and deficits is when a Republican sits in the Oval Office. (They holler, but do NOTHING about it)

Does this make ANY sense at all? 

Shouldn’t ALL elected officials pay VERY close attention to America’s balance sheet? Shouldn’t our elected officials consider it “good business” to maintain a budget that, at the very least, is revenue neutral?

Yet, no one in Washington (except, for now, President Trump) seems to care HOW MUCH government spends….using dollars it DOESN’T HAVE.

Well, this used to baffle me, too.

That is, until I started looking at the strategy of it all.

And, yes…..these upside-down programs, debts and deficits are tactics, aimed at accomplishing a specific mission.

Anyone remember how President Reagan brought the Soviet Union down?

Reagan employed two primary weapons against the Soviets: money and democratic opposition groups. While he funded groups inside the USSR, he also forced the Soviets to invest overwhelming amounts of dollars on defense (primarily against the SDI program).

Reagan worked to rot the Soviet Union from its structure, while breaking its financial back.

And it worked.

See that parallel?

That is EXACTLY what has been happening in America, by Liberals on BOTH sides of the aisle.

They are attempting to spend America into oblivion. And, while they do that, they fund separatist groups (think TARP, Planned Parenthood, public unions, etc), who rot America’s foundation.

But, now there is a line being drawn in the sand.

The line? President Trump.

Who drew it?

YOU AND I.

INDEPENDENCE DAY 2017

THE FOURTH OF JULY, 2017

If you haven’t figured out, by now, that we are in a state of civil war, that our Constitution is under attack, that our freedom and liberty are, at this very moment, in danger of being lost forever, then, my friends, you’d BETTER wake up!

Socialism, for the last 80-or-so years, has quietly crept into our government; undermining our Constitution and the Bill of Rights and insinuating itself into the fabric of every aspect of our society. Adherents move slowly, cautiously, under the guise of “compassion for the needy, the poor and the minority”, and build the framework of a Socialist state; rather, a cage.

The Declaration of Independence, adopted on July 4^th, 1776, set in motion the circumstances for what was to become the greatest and freest society in history. We broke with the Crown, becoming a free people who previously were subjects.

That freedom, that liberty, spelled out and memorialized in The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and Bill of Rights, required, from time to time, the sacrifice of patriots, willing to kill and lay down their lives in defense of that shared idea, that shared dream. Wars of words as well as of rounds have kept that shared idea, that dream, alive.

Today, we again are at war. Today, we stand at a crossroad and must decide whether that shared idea is worth defending. Our freedom, our liberty, our future, hang in the balance.

And now, each and every moment, we must decide.

Is freedom worth the fight? Is liberty worth the words? Are our Founding Documents worth preserving, defending even to the death? Do we squander and render meaningless the sacrifice of those who paid the price for us?

Our enemy is Socialism, as well as those who espouse that misguided ideology. Those advocates are relentless in their pursuit. They will never accept defeat. They will never stop. They will never rest until our Founding Documents are relegated to a mere footnote in history.

We have NO choice, if those Founding Documents are to remain relevant. The price for losing or refusing to engage is captivity.

Let this, and every, Fourth of July (indeed, EVERY DAY, with EVERY BREATH) renew our spirit of patriotism. And let us prepare to defend our freedom and liberty with our very lives.

HAPPY FOURTH, EVERYONE!

#celebratefreedom 

PERSPECTIVE #4

What was the last war won on defense alone?

How about a football game?  Baseball? Basketball? Soccer?

If the answer is “none” (and it IS, BTW), then I have a question:

What makes you think that the fight to preserve our Constitution, the fight to preserve our freedom, our liberty, our NATION, can be won by defense, alone?

Don’t get me wrong: defense is EXTREMELY important. A boxer in the ring can be as strong and fast as any of the greatest, but if he can’t defend himself, he will lose. Period.

Offense AND defense are equals in importance. One cannot win without relative measures of both.

So, I’ll ask:

If we Conservatives spend all our time on the defense, how can we reasonably expect to win this war of ideologies?

To be blunt: we can’t.

I applaud the efforts of so many Americans, who are speaking up, countering lies, getting the truth out. We are engaged, right now, in the fight to preserve our Constitution, our Bill of Rights and our Declaration of Independence; those documents that serve as the foundation for the greatest country in history. Our freedoms, our liberty, our prosperity are rooted in the principles contained within those documents and defended by not only our military forces, but all of us as well.

Defense is not enough.

Be on the attack. ALWAYS advance. Put THEM on the defense.

Want to understand the proper frame of mind? Take a lesson from General George S. Patton, addressing the Third Army:

“When a man is lying in a shell hole, if he just stays there all day, a Boche will get him eventually. The hell with that. My men don't dig foxholes. Foxholes only slow up an offensive. Keep moving. We'll win this war, but we'll win it only by fighting and showing the Germans that we've got more guts than they have or ever will have. We're not just going to shoot the bastards, we're going to rip out their living goddamned guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun cocksuckers by the bushel-fucking-basket.”

Perspective #3

Time to make a few things clear; very, VERY clear.

But first, can we stipulate that Statism is antithetical to our Constitution? (If you do NOT agree, I’d like to know why.)

Democrats, the media, the GOP….

Collectively: The Establishment. This group, which comprises most of Congress, is a drift of pigs. But this drift of pigs doesn’t wait for the farmer (you) to fill their trough. Rather, they freely raid the farmer’s (your) house and steal the food, taking however much they wish.

…and their appetites are ever-growing. They are insatiable gluttons. They are pigs.

And, now, the farmer (you) is threatening to not only lock the house, but also put them on a VERY strict diet.

WHERE WE WERE, PRE-NOVEMBER 8^TH, 2016

Since the administration of FDR (one of the first high-level Socialists with the ability to legislate the Statist agenda), America has slouched toward a Marxist state (post-Capitalist, centralized, overreaching government). Although there have been minor….MINOR…..moves toward restoring a Constitutional government (Reagan, Bush II), the push toward Statism has been fundamentally unabated. The supposed “opposition” Party, the Republicans, have behaved exactly as the Whig Party, pre-Lincoln: lots of powerful words, no action.

Donald Trump, candidate, represented a real, genuine, opportunity to restore America to its Constitutional mandate and a hope….a possibility…..to halt what was considered inevitable: the ascension of Hillary Clinton. The moment he began to trend in the polls, The Establishment went into high gear to protect their chosen one and, in doing so, attempt to close the book on this Representative Republic.

Where Trump-as-President was concerned, he was certainly NOT an ideal candidate. Since every Presidential candidate makes lots of promises, and based on Trump’s past, which has been a mixed bag of leaning every which way on any and every issue, it could be easily concluded that there’d be NO intention of doing anything substantive, should he win the election. He just wanted to add “POTUS” to his CV, right?

Whomever might be elected, one thing was for sure: the country was a mess.

At the end of the Obama administration, America was $20 TRILLION in debt and

chalked up a $600 BILLION deficit. Labor force participation rate was 62%. Food stamp recipients at record high, welfare recipients at record high. The ACA (Obamacare) was a growing nightmare of taxation and regulation. America’s foreign policy (whatever there WAS of one) was a joke. Despots the world over were delighted to be able to deal with a gutless, spineless, gullible milquetoast, who would send them complete incompetents like Hillary Clinton and John Kerry.

NOVEMBER 8^TH, 2016

Then, Donald Trump became President Trump.

The fact that he WAS elected (yes, Democrats, he DID win the election), set him up for immediate hostility from Democrats AND the GOP AND the media.

But then, he did the unthinkable. He set out….immediately…to go about fulfilling his campaign promises. Of course, we’ll see whether the legislative parts of his aggressive agenda survive legislative and judicial scrutiny, but, without question, his moves, thus far, have been to restore Constitutional primacy. His proposals have begun to restore power to the states and to individuals (in homage to the Tenth Amendment). His nomination, then confirmation of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court restored balance to the Supreme Court. He’s overturned nearly all of Obama’s last-moment regulations. Rendered Dodd Frank meaningless. He’s, even now, appointing Conservative justices to the federal bench. In short, he’s begun to dismantle nearly 80 years of Socialism in our government.

WHERE WE ARE

Let’s be VERY clear about something: if Trump’s agenda gets passed, he, and America, will succeed; and succeed BIG. If Trump is successful, The Establishment will LOSE. And they will lose BIG. So, the mission for Democrats, the media and the GOP is to make sure that Trump’s agenda fails. They don’t care HOW negatively it affects you, they don’t care whether The Constitution is rendered useless (in fact, that is EXACTLY what they want), they don’t care what happens to you. The Establishment, united in their desire to continue the drive toward Statism, operate on two fundamental concepts.

-       First: “The ends justify the means”. The ‘ends’ is a Socialist state. The ‘means’ is any lie, any confabulation, any violent act. In the end, the ‘means’ includes attempting to take President Trump all the way out.

-       Second: As attributed to Francois de Charette:  “on ne saurait faire d’omelette sans casser des oeufs”; where a Socialist state is the omelette and YOU are the ‘oeufs’.

Right now, America has the best chance, in the last 70+ years, to restore The Constitution to Supreme Law of the land. Alone, Trump cannot do it. Alone, he WILL fail. Depending on the GOP, he will fail; they are NOT on his, or The Constitution’s, side.

The ONLY way to restore The Constitution is through YOUR action; YOUR activism, YOUR self-education, YOUR determination, YOUR persistence, YOUR ability and willingness to expose the lies, YOUR willingness to do whatever it takes….including physical defense…to defend freedom.

As Rahm Emanuel so eloquently borrowed, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste.” So, The Establishment is creating a serious crisis, built of voter ignorance and complacency, lies, and conveniently forgotten history.

With every success, The Establishment will become increasingly unhinged and openly hostile. Count on more lies. Count on more made-up stories. Count on increasing violence. Count on insurrection.

So, you have a choice to make. Right now and every day. EVERY day. EVERY moment.

If you choose to do nothing, America will lose. If you choose to engage, and continue to engage, America WILL win.

This Representative Republic is too precious, too necessary, to allow to relegated to the ash heap of history. It IS worth fighting for.

The “Silent Majority”? No more.

Perspective

What did you expect?  I’d really like to know….

Did you expect that a candidate, who spent most of his campaign, tearing into the Establishment, would somehow….suddenly…be embraced by them?

Did you expect that Trump, who vowed to begin the process of undoing 70+ years of Socialism, would be allowed to enact that agenda without hostile, violent opposition, from BOTH sides of the Establishment?

Did you think that Democrats would suddenly decide to allow Trump to undo their Socialist dream without a word?

With their clear history of hoaxing, lying and just making things up, did you think that Democrats would suddenly play fair?

This is politics, folks. And this IS The Establishment.

One side working against the other in order to halt an agenda. Every trick, every Congressional rule, every maneuver, every ploy……everything is used by both sides in order to either forward or halt that agenda.

And make NO mistake: Trump’s agenda is potentially transformative. If successful, it would begin….BEGIN….the process of undoing 70+ years of creeping Socialism and restoring Constitutional mandates.

And make NO mistake: his first 100+ days have begun to do exactly that. Trump, along with ANYONE who supports him, represent a genuine threat to Socialism, to Collectivism, to Marxism, to Communism…..to Statism.

So it should come as no surprise that the reaction from Democrats AND Establishment Republicans would be vigorous and openly hostile. And it should come as no surprise that it will soon become violent. It’s the Marxist way.

Now, that said, it should also come as no surprise that Democrats are employing the same tactics as were used by Hitler and Stalin to whip their party faithful into blind frenzy. Screaming, threats and violence is, and will continue to be, the SOP. Go ahead…… “Google” old speeches from Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao, Pol, Fidel…….watch them whip the masses into frenzy.

BUT, keep this in mind: darkness cannot hide in the light.

EVERYTHING positive that has happened (and there’s been plenty) in the last several months is because you…..YOU…..made it happen. Your voice, your letters, your confrontations, your energy, your willingness to stand up and fight……YOU are the reason America still has a chance. YOU are the reason that the sacrifice of those who fought for our freedom will not be rendered meaningless.

YOU are the reason our Constitution remains the law of the land.

And YOU MUST continue to fight. In fact, ramp it up. Fight fire with fire.

When they shout: you shout louder.

When they lie: you reveal the truth.

When they falsely accuse: you defend with vigor

When they intimidate: you stand firm

When they resort to violence: you resort to self-defense and defense of others

And when they resort to war: you face them, no quarter and without mercy.

What is at stake is our Constitution; and with it, our freedom.

What is that worth to you?
