HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?

How does a country that has so much going for it fall for the hucksters selling woke nonsense?

How does the “land of the free and the home of the brave” allow simpering low-life non-hackers to not only survive but thrive while the rest of us barely make ends meet?

Because the Silent Majority is silent the same as always. We yell at the TV screen while those who would destroy this country work hard every day to promote their cancerous goals. It’s been going on for so long that the liberal left of our youth is now so far right of the liberal progressives of today’s Democrat party that they aren’t allowed in the party anymore.

After Clinton Bush, Obama, and now Biden, we are all aware that politics has basically become a place where bottom-feeders go to thrive. We didn’t know that 50 years ago. Camelot was probably as full of intrigue as the Biden fiasco, but it wasn’t talked about. When you hear that Lee Harvey Oswald was a fall-guy, and that the CIA actually assassinated Kennedy it makes you wonder how long the deep state has been around. Spoiler alert – they’ve been here since the founding.

But it isn’t 50 years ago, it’s today, and the US looks to be in a totally preventable death spiral. National debt is over 33 trillion dollars, an amount most people can’t even envision, and it’s forecast to top 50 trillion before the end of the decade. We citizens didn’t see this before now simply because the economy was growing at a rate that hid the rot.

So, back to the subject of this article, how could this happen? A thumbnail view of the United States between 1933 and today is two-sided. One side is the Republican presidents who were relatively neutral in effect on the national economy and morals, and who supported civil rights and entrepreneurial freedom On the other side you have Democrat presidents whose administrations increased the size of government, endorsed lifestyles outside the mainstream, unconstitutionally changed government and passed laws that are bankrupting the country today. These laws were described as increasing the quality of life, but mostly just increased the size of the state and provided votes for Democrat reelection.

There’s no doubt that Republicans added to the size of government, but no where near as much as Democrats, and the bigger the bureaucratic state the more intrusion on freedom there is. This isn’t a new development; the state has been becoming more intrusive for a long time, and few have noticed or commented on it.

When college students got to grade the knowledge and capability of their instructors we should have known the inmates were running the institution, but mostly we ignored it.

When the government broke all the rules and forced us to stay in our homes and take a “vaccine” that was mostly untried and we went along with it, we officially became sheep who actually criticized those who still had the common sense and belief in the rule of law to refuse to stay home or to get stuck.

We listened to government snake oil salesmen and did what we were told; and we watched how many thousand senior citizens in New York die because the idiot governor put Covid positive people in nursing homes? And we still didn’t connect the dots? Seriously?

We don’t enforce our border or immigration laws, blue cities declare themselves sanctuary cities, as if the Hunchback of Notre Dame was pulling the bell rope, and the feds refuse to stop illegals at the border. The feds have made the job of the Border Patrol into babysitters instead of law enforcement, and we still don’t get the message.

Texas sends some of the illegals to sanctuary cities and now they’re complaining about the cost, and the crime, and the poop in the streets. How’s that sanctuary policy working out now that you actually have to live it instead of just flapping your jaws about it, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Martha’s Vineyard? How’s it feel to reap your own wind? Well we don’t like it either, but you asked for it and now you’ve got it.

And while we’re at it, we don’t like prostituting millennia old social norms like marriage and two genders and the sanctity of life. We don’t like hoodlums in black hoodies who claim to be anti-fascists but who are in reality fascists, and bullies, and when confronted, spoiled children who never learned right from wrong.

We don’t like our children exposed to drag queen readings in libraries that do not allow bible readings. Aside from the fact that it’s wrong it’s also illegal. Equal access is the law. Actually, on second thought, we believe that drag queen readings may be a way to normalize the alternate lifestyle and possibly later lead to grooming by the not-so innocent of the drag community. The last we heard pedophilia is illegal.

We also aren’t exceptionally thrilled by local, state, or federal government agencies that talk about “sense of place.” We know where we are and don’t need a public employee to tell us. Maybe the local government should concentrate on better roads, supporting and improving law enforcement, and working with the disadvantaged.

It would be a change of pace to see the state government actually reducing their footprint and cost by really reducing staff, lowering taxes, and getting their collective noses out of citizen’s business.

Then there’s the federal swamp, who should be limiting their activities to constitutionally mandated things like defending the country. If they would forget about the other unconstitutional crap they’re involved in like education and let the states do it as depicted in the Constitution, it would go a long way towards reversing the downward spiral.

The real solution to the coming loss of the country as we knew it is you. Stand up for your rights. Don’t allow some government flunky tell you what to do if it impacts your freedom or he doesn’t have the authority. Don’t go along to get along. There’s a name for that – Quisling. Look it up. We don’t think you want to be one!

Think long and hard about your beliefs and principles, where they come from, how you got them, and can you realistically defend them with facts. If you know what you believe and can defend your principles, you should never compromise a principle. Ever.
