A House Divided

 

A nation overcome by partisanship will destroy itself.

It has come to this. While we should be uniting as a people against a common enemy, we demonize and fight each other, allowing our foe to take advantage. Leftist media spews propaganda and lies, yet people accept these deceptions as truth, supporting narratives counter to their own self-interests. This nation is crumbling from within as we point our accusatory fingers at one another, ignoring the danger that threatens the very existence of this Constitutional Republic. As we quarrel amongst ourselves, evil laughs while it thrives in our midst. Good citizens, it is time to unite and stand up to the evil that has become so pervasive in our society. We have much more in common with each other despite the differences that have been emphasized by the media and the left.

This evil is obscured by the amenable provisos of acceptance and tolerance. Unfortunately, these terms are abused to validate behavior that is not only wrong but legitimizes that which is abhorrent. Failure to comply with this evil and you are called out as “phobic.” Evil is also concealed within DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion), CRT (critical race theory), and ESG (environmental, social, and governance). These federally supported and mandated programs emphasize our differences, rewards are made based on race and, just as the leftist icon Saul Alinsky promoted, foments distrust and anger toward those identified as “oppressors,” or more practically, anyone in opposition to leftist ideology. It is long past due that mainstream America push back against this insanity, brought to you by the anti-American left and their allies in the democrat party. Yet, there are those too obtuse to see through the lies spewed by the leftist mainstream media, overwhelmed by a contrived hatred of traditional America.

Death and taxes are a certainty in this world. You can also take it to the bank that the left will consistently accuse their opposition of the very tactics they themselves employ. The democrat party has incorporated Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals as their tactical playbook. If mainstream democrats were aware that the political party that they support advocated against their constituency, they would not continue to cast their votes for them. Unfortunately, many have been persuaded by the cacophony of lies emanating from the leftist dominated mainstream media. We are engaged in a battle for the soul of America. This nation’s laws and freedoms are being used by the enemy to erode, and ultimately destroy the tenets of a civil society and we are the only ones who have the power to stop it.

The framers of the Constitution concluded that for a Constitutional Republic to endure, it was necessary that the citizens be informed, moral, and faithful. “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams. Political infighting coupled with the vilification of opposing viewpoints will lead to the destruction of this nation. No foreign army needs to invade if we destroy ourselves. “If our nation is ever taken over, it will be taken over from within.” James Madison.

It is imperative that, we the people, are an informed electorate. It matters who we elect to represent our interests at the local, State and Federal level. Too many of our elected representatives shirk their responsibility as public servants. Too many of our elected representatives harbor an agenda that conflicts with the will of the people. Too many of our elected representatives have enriched themselves and their families at the expense of the taxpayer. “But Jesus called them aside and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them. It shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:25-28. During His ministry Jesus turned the world upside down with His teaching, healing, forgiveness, and servant leadership. We cannot expect our government to meet the expectations that Jesus delivered, but our elected leaders should strive to serve their constituents, first and foremost.

As we slip into the abyss, we need public servants to lift us up, not kick us down. We need public servants that value the sanctity of life, not diminish it. We need public servants that stand up to protect our children, not advocate to mutilate them. We need public servants that are principled, not morally corrupt. We need public servants that uphold the rule of law, not use it to further their party’s political ambitions. We need public servants that serve God, not the woke mob. Those who fail their constituents should be voted out of office.

As Americans, we are in this together. There is strength in numbers and your vote holds power. Don’t just blindly vote. Inform yourself. Know the issues and where each candidate stands and vote accordingly. This is your country. Don’t stand by idly and allow a few to ruin it.

The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself.

H. L. Mencken
