Civic Duty

 

With citizenship, comes responsibility.

For civil society to prosper, an informed and engaged citizenry is necessary. “Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.” Thomas Jefferson. When one refuses or neglects that obligation, societal fabric begins to erode. An uninformed electorate concedes their inalienable rights to representatives that fail to protect the citizen’s interests. Without proper oversight, elected legislators are easily persuaded to place other’s interests and their own at the forefront of their decision making. Freedom comes at a cost. Those who fail to engage or vote based upon faulty reasoning will get what they deserve. Unfortunately, far too many abandon their civic responsibility, and we suffer as a nation because of it.

President John F. Kennedy famously said, “Do not ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Is it too little to ask that the citizens of this nation be better informed? Is it too much to ask that citizens see and understand what is occurring in plain sight? Is it too much to ask that citizens question the narrative that seems all too contrived? With vast amounts of information available at their fingertips, too many take the easy way out and depend upon social media “influencers” on Tik Tok, Instagram, X or the like. When you cast a vote or choose not to, you are ceding constitutional power to an elected official that may have no business in that position of authority. (see AOC, Rashida Talib, Ilhan Omar, etc.)

For those of you celebrating the lawfare used by the democrat party to persecute their political opponents, your lack of understanding the long-range consequences of these actions is alarming. For those of you that allow a venomous hatred by the leftist media to influence your decision making and allow that hate to fester and grow into your being, I truly am disappointed in your lack of judgement. For those of you placing your trust in a government that lies, cheats, and steals your resources to enact policies that a vast majority rejects, your failure to comprehend that you are being betrayed is appalling. “It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority.” Benjamin Franklin

Blindly following a party of failed policies, that foments hatred toward their political opponents and disdains those they are charged to represent, is beyond idiocy. Supporting democrats in their unfettered attack on the very tenets of this Constitutional Republic, encouraging their goal of eliminating your ability to choose your elected representatives, and abolishing your very civil rights is beyond the pale. We are truly on the pathway to an idiocrasy, where an uninformed populace is ruled by an elite that fashions themselves as the intelligencia that controls all aspects of life. “You’ll own nothing and be happy.” Summarized from a essay by Ida Auken at the 2016 WEF forum.

The “conviction” of former President Donald Trump is a travesty to our nation and the rule of law. Leftists, supported by democrats, are making a mockery of the law in democrat run cities by willfully refusing to enforce criminal law, often releasing criminals, without bail, back into the community to reoffend, again and again. Attorney General Merrick Garland approves the use of deadly force and the pre-dawn raid of Trump’s Mar a Lago with law enforcement brandishing long guns and non-uniforms. He has the temerity to tell Congress that the same policy was used in the search of President Biden’s residence, but there was no raid, no long guns and was done during daylight hours. Just like Sesame Street, some of these things just don’t belong with the others.

As long as democrats retain their offices and the authority it gives them, lawlessness will continue to run amok. The only solution is to vote democrats out of office so that they will learn from their errors and moderate their policies. As democrats vote by party fealty, not by what is best for their constituency, making them a voting block that is a clear minority will prevent them from maintaining their political power, creating an avenue to return to the values that have made this nation great. It is time to wake up and throw these leftists out of office. Any politician with a (D) next to their name should never again receive any votes until they abandon their headlong rush into leftism. It is time to return this country back to a government by, for and of the people. “Nations do not die from invasion; they die from internal rottenness.” Abraham Lincoln

Insanity

 

By any means necessary.

Like the radical Islamists, leftists are in it for the long haul. Both advocate and are determined to destroy America as founded, replacing it with their vision of Utopia. Leftists have, in a few short decades, managed to infiltrate positions in society that wield considerable power. Leftists now thrive in academia, journalism, government bureaucracy, the judicial system, and elected offices. The democrat party has fully embraced the ideals and doctrine of the radical left, as they believe that leftist tactics will allow them to gain and maintain power. Party to this crime that is destroying the very fabric of this nation, is the “Deep State,” that also includes Republicans on the take. Policy is driven by entrenched bureaucrats and funded by unscrupulous lobbyists that use money and the promise of future lucrative positions to influence legislators. (see Mike Gallagher R-WI) And far too many of your elected “representatives” are in politics to enrich themselves and their families. Those who truly are public servants, working dutifully for their constituents, are ostracized by their colleagues and the media. (Last I checked, those in government are supposed to be working for “We the people,” but I digress.)

There is good reason that Donald Trump is Public (Deep State) enemy #1. The charades transpiring in the courts of democrat run cities, by democrat District Attorneys, urged on by democrat operatives, promoted by democrat elected officials and trumpeted by democrat aligned media is almost comical, but for the clear and present danger that it poses to this Constitutional Republic. Yet, this vitriolic vigor is mimicked by those too ignorant to see through the thinly veiled call to “save our democracy” from the “Bad Orange Man.” Me thinks thou dost protest too much! The distain for the common man displayed by our “public servants” would lead one to believe that the populace would be infuriated. Unfortunately, half of the nation is asleep at the wheel, tacitly ignoring the danger occurring in plain sight, while the other half blindly follows the urgings of the leftist media, irrationally supporting those who would abolish their liberties, like so many lemmings jumping off a cliff.

An outsider with no ties to the “Deep State” Trump is reviled by those he seeks to expose. Joe Biden has been a politician for more than 50 years, making $Millions during his tenure. Notwithstanding the alleged “pay for play” scheme headed by his son Hunter and brother James, the Great Unifier has lined his and his family’s pockets with ill-begotten wealth. Yet, democrats will blindly follow this man as he lies, cheats, and steals your tax dollars and uses his position to enrich himself. Barnum was right. A fool is born every minute. The laughable drone of democrats and their enabling media should be enough to make most people question the goings on in this once great nation, but still half of the nation drinks this Kool-Aid willingly. How can anyone with half a brain support a man that has trashed the economy, stood by idly as wars erupt, appeases and supports our enemies, and vilifies half of America, while they harbor an undue hatred of a man that presided over an economy that overwhelmingly benefited everyone, started no new wars, and stood up for America, at home and abroad. What the hell is going on?

If Trump is re-elected, he should not eliminate the 80,000 new IRS agents. He should assign them to audit every elected official, regardless of party, and the leadership of each Federal department. All those on the take should be indicted and upon conviction receive the harshest sentence allowed by law. He should absolutely target those who unlawfully targeted him and after conviction, push for their maximum sentencing. Our government is rotting from the inside and it needs to be returned to “We the people.” The only way for that to happen in to take down the “Deep State,” replace the rot with patriotic public servants, and set the example as he did with his previous administration.

Continue to vote “D” if you are fine with the protests and indoctrination at our college campuses and public schools. Continue to vote “D” if you agree that children should be allowed to choose their gender and undergo life altering procedures against their parent’s will. Continue to vote “D” if you believe that unborn children can be killed up to the time of birth. Continue to vote “D” if you believe that skin color should be the determining factor to allow discrimination. Continue to vote “D” if you agree that your government should rule and not represent you. Continue to vote “D” if you want rampant spending to continue, that unending wars are the new normal, and agree that this nation is inherently evil and irredeemable. Continue to vote “D” if you want open borders, with unvetted disease carriers, criminals, and ungrateful miscreants overrunning your neighborhood.

If you are tired of playing second fiddle to a bunch of entitled elites, it is time to reconsider your choice when you enter that voting booth. If you want to end this nightmare brought to you by failed democrat policies, if you hanker for a return to law and order, if you believe that we should protect the most vulnerable, not kill them with impunity, and would love to restore responsibility in government, it is time to vote for candidates that uphold traditional values. It is time to throw out those who have misused the trust loaned to them as representatives for the people. It is time for normalcy to rule once again. Democrats are the true danger to our nation. It is time to make them the minority that they are. It is time for God to be acknowledged as our Creator and Christ as Savior. It is time that “We the people” rise up, take back this nation and make it great again!
