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of American greatness espoused by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution have been replaced by ideals and values dictated by increasingly divisive, polarized politics.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

Trump is the Deplorable President America Wants

Conservatives got even when the Electoral College dashed Hillary Clinton’s dream. Now Democrats are getting even with us. They are making America miserable. Lucky they have Trump. Without this deplorable president it would be all too obvious to their base just how useless and irresponsible they are. It’s fair to say that we failed to fully appreciate liberal America’s … [Read more...] about Trump is the Deplorable President America Wants

Republican Senators Back Castro Instead of Sovereignty

It’s absolutely stunning to imagine after the GOP loss of the House that even a single Republican Senator could follow defeat with a refusal to agree with the president on something as basic as preserving our national sovereignty. On Thursday twelve GOP members of the Senate did exactly that when they sided with Democrats across the aisle and in the House to pass the Joaquin … [Read more...] about Republican Senators Back Castro Instead of Sovereignty

Diversity Is a Strength That Makes Democrats Weak

March 11, 2019 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

Capitol in February. Architect of the Capitol.

Diversity is a pillar of the Democratic agenda that is threatening to crush hopes for a sweeping takeover next year. One of the party’s greatest strengths has always been its ability to reach a consensus, or at least the appearance of agreement on what members stand for. Now fringe elements are forcing the party down the same path that turned Republicans into a House minority. … [Read more...] about Diversity Is a Strength That Makes Democrats Weak

Founding Principles Democrats Still Get Wrong

When Democrats fall back on America’s founding principles to justify their anger and frustration the words ring hollow. The usual political hypocrisy is acceptable and expected and we hear it from both sides, but do liberal lawmakers think we are so unschooled that we can’t see how ridiculous they sound when they turn to the Founding Fathers for support? Defending American … [Read more...] about Founding Principles Democrats Still Get Wrong

All Americans Share Values but We Don’t Engineer Success

After a particularly nasty midterm election and the arrogant rise to power of far left Democrats we don’t need to be reminded how divisive trendy political imperatives can be, whether they come from New York-style socialism, half-baked California craziness, or Oregon insanity. We should be wise enough to agree that it’s the height of arrogance for people we elect to tell us … [Read more...] about All Americans Share Values but We Don’t Engineer Success
