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

 

Deflection

 

Bait and switch. Sleight of hand. Misrepresentation. Lying. All tools of those who would use their authority to usurp your freedoms, while enriching themselves. Those in the “Swamp” of Washington D.C. have engaged in influence peddling from the time this nation was founded. The ruling class is ingrained within an entitlement culture. From the first leader of the caveman clan to the Kings and Queens of the world, with title comes privilege. Only the best for our betters. Afterall, they are the “Chosen Ones”, elected or elevated to power. Power ultimately corrupts and far too many of the “leaders” of our nation are rotten, through and through.

Joe Biden’s son, Hunter and his brother Jim, have engaged in an elaborate scheme to enrich themselves and the “Big Guy”. Trading on the family name, they have bilked $Millions from nations eager to leverage a relationship with Joe Biden, first as a US Senator, then Vice President and now President. Unfortunately, like all illegal schemes, the truth has emerged.  Even with the power of the mainstream and digital media running interference, the illicit dealings of the Biden Family crime syndicate are slowly finding the light of day. President Obama said in a moment of candor, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f--k things up.” In another stoke of brilliance, Joe Biden chose his drug addled, porn addicted and sex craved son, Hunter, to be the primary peddler of his sphere of influence marketing. What could ever go wrong with that?

Mainstream media, at the behest of the ever-left leaning democrat party, buried any news stories and social media censored and banned accounts that dared to report on a laptop computer, owned and abandoned by Hunter Biden. Russian disinformation, hacked information and debunked conspiracy theories were the rallying cry from those that would peddle lies in order to achieve their goal of removing Donald Trump from the White House. Now that an indictment looms for the President’s son, the media scrambles to “verify” portions of the treasure trove of emails that detail the illicit dealings of the President’s wayward son. But they cannot verify that the “Big Guy” got a cut of the profits. Where there is smoke, there is fire and these emails are way too hot to touch.

The Left continues to attack the very core of our societal norms while the accuse their opponents of the same atrocities that they commit. They continue to attack the nuclear family, promoting alternate lifestyles and transgenderism. And they are teaching our children to embrace this new way of thinking as soon as they are old enough to attend school. Is there any sane individual that believes a 5 year old child can properly process the concept of “gender fluidity” and that teaching them about sexual practices is appropriate? Destroy the family and you create an open path for the government to seize that authority. And we sit back and allow this to happen without even a whimper.

Saul Alinsky was a malcontent sociopath who died in 1972. He spent the better part of his life attempting to circumvent personal responsibility and foment dissent. He concocted what he called the 8 levels of control that must be met to create a socialist state in his book, “Rules for Radicals”. The text therein contains many of the guiding principles of the democrat party. -NOTE- this information has been deemed as false. Alinsky did not compose the following "rules". Notwithstanding, these tactics are currently being used by the democrat party.

·         Healthcare. Control healthcare and you control the people.

·         Poverty. Increase the poverty level as high as possible. Poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.

·         Debt. Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes and this will produce more poverty.

·         Gun control. Remove the ability to defend themselves from the government. That way you are able to create a police state.

·         Welfare. Take control of every aspect of their lives. (Food, housing and income)

·         Education. Take control of what people read and listen to – take control of what children learn in school.

·         Religion. Remove the belief in God from the government and schools.

·         Class warfare. Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier take from the wealthy with the support of the poor.

Under democrat rule, these methods are being used to control the masses. Obamacare and Medicare/Medicaid control our public health system. The welfare state keeps almost half of our population in abject poverty. The national debt is now over $30 Trillion and our government has outstanding obligations of over $100 Trillion. Democrats continue to beat the drum for gun control. Our kids are being indoctrinated, not taught. Our once admired education system has our kids ranked 25^th in math, 7^th in science. China is now outpacing the US in STEM graduates. Religion is relegated to the back of the bus. Why were casinos open during the pandemic while churches were closed? Democrats have always disparaged the wealthy, but their insistence on promoting racial warfare has risen to the top of their strategy to divide and conquer.

Once democrats used an incremental approach to slowly reshape our society. Now there is no constraint whatsoever. They and their accomplices in the media actually blame Republicans for the chaos their policies have created. It is damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead in the fundamental transformation of this nation. What will it take for good people to wake up and take the necessary action to stop this insanity?
