American Values

The American Ideals and Values category includes posts on freedom and liberty, equality and rights, the battle between liberals and conservatives and most important, what it means to be American.

The bulwarks of American greatness espoused by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution have been replaced by ideals and values dictated by increasingly divisive, polarized politics.

The growing might of a America's radical left undermines, re-imagines, and destroys our fundamental beliefs about what is good, morally justifiable, and worth protecting at any cost, whether that means protecting the sovereignty of our borders, defending the First Amendment, affirming property rights violated by squatters, or saying no to thriving, pro-terror antisemitism on college campuses.

President Biden's weaponized justice, covert censorship, election manipulation, and autocratic executive orders reimagined our great nation and started us down the path to social, economic, and moral decline.

We no longer live in the America envisioned by our Founders. We have devolved into a vicious, valueless Banana Republic for the sake of delivering overwhelming power to one political party.

Good People Deserve Goodness from Government

George Washington

In the midst of fiery terror attacks on Tesla dealerships and a federal judge's order to stop the removal of transnational gang members to El Salvador, two astronauts stranded in space for many months were rescued by Elon Musk's SpaceX. The speed with which the company mobilized to save these explorers after Joe Biden turned his back was truly historic, another sign that … [Read more...] about Good People Deserve Goodness from Government

American Values Don’t Exist. Trump Just Proved It.

If you still believe that American values are about freedom, equality, individualism, self-government, and patriotism, you are living in the past. Many of us trust in America's founding principles. Every generation inevitably sacrifices some of its best and bravest to preserve and defend them, but these American values don’t exist any longer. They are historical relics that … [Read more...] about American Values Don’t Exist. Trump Just Proved It.

Politics Will End Humanity. Our Leaders are the Reason.

Solitary tree with no leaves standing in a field

Is there a more worthwhile goal than bettering humanity instead of exterminating mankind? We have all probably had the “if only we could work together” epiphany, that bleak acceptance of what humanity will never accomplish because we are incapable of working together to tackle common problems. We forgo combining the financial and intellectual might of nations to develop … [Read more...] about Politics Will End Humanity. Our Leaders are the Reason.

2024 Year in Government: Only Fools Trusted Democracy

American flag with clouds in background

Joe Biden didn't wait for January 20, 2025 to leave office. When his presidency ended or whether it even existed will be argued for years, but as the 2024 year in government mercifully ends even the most jaded Democrat knows we were taught a harsh lesson about fools who place their trust in democracy. For four years America did not have a president or vice president. We had … [Read more...] about 2024 Year in Government: Only Fools Trusted Democracy

Fascism is Democratic Party Policy. They Call it Democracy.

Two days before the polls opened on Election Day, a woman being interviewed by a local news channel warned that fascism is at our door. I assumed this meant she was not a fan of Donald Trump. That was OK by me. This is America. Everyone has the right to their opinion and I support that right. According to CNN, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) echoed the same fear before the 2022 … [Read more...] about Fascism is Democratic Party Policy. They Call it Democracy.
