American Ideals and Values

Contemporary American ideals and values are decided by politics. What happens in Washington and in state legislatures can support, undermine, or destroy our fundamental beliefs about what is good and worth protecting.

The transition from Obama to Trump stirred up unprecedented anger and even violence after a surprise Democratic election loss. Why? Because everything the nation was told to value suddenly swung to the right.

The American ideals and values category includes posts on our nation’s place in the world, religious freedom, equality and rights, the war between political ideologies, and what it means to be American.

Do we elect our president and representatives in Congress so they can dictate what we believe, or is their job to do as little as possible, keep things running, and let the people decide what ideals and values we should cherish?

Don’t confuse Democratic Party political priorities like Medicare for All or free college with true American values. The former vanish with the changing of the guard and the up and down of the economy. Values that matter are enduring. They focus on ideas much greater than what to spend on next. We should all be wise enough to agree that it’s the height of arrogance for people we elect to tell us what we want and what we should have.

A sickening consequence of the Democratic Party’s anger over the 2017 election and their new rise to power after midterms is that more Americans will be lumped into Hillary’s basket with terrorists and the radical right. Democrats never accused Islamic thought of aiding and abetting extremism after terror attacks in the U.S. In fact, they blamed the nation for Islamophobia and went out of their way to declare the opposite.

You got what you wanted. The Democrats you voted for won. Maybe you did even better than that and instead of an old school lefty you backed one of the insurgents or neo-socialist whack jobs that liberal America is so enamored with. The media told you that Tuesday’s election was a referendum on the Trump administration. You felt good when it was over, but even though his party lost the House and you can sniff impeachment in the air you’re still not satisfied. How can you revolt against Trump for all the terrible things he’s done?

White males shouldn’t be dammed for working, paying taxes, creating jobs, and standing up for this country and against far left Democratic ideology, but that’s where Democrats have brought us. Now that we are the worst domestic enemies in America it’s only going to get worse.
