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of American greatness espoused by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution have been replaced by ideals and values dictated by increasingly divisive, polarized politics.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

Nativism is a Belief Democrats Encourage and Promote

Democrats will argue until they are blue in the face that Trump promotes nativism. The simple fact is that their ceaseless pandering now extends beyond U.S. borders and is the reason nativist values will appeal to Americans who have a brain and a wallet. Nativism pure and simple Nativism is an arcane, archaic belief. It’s not about white supremacy or racism, though no … [Read more...] about Nativism is a Belief Democrats Encourage and Promote

Mandate to Demonize Americans? Democrats Dangerous Gamble

Forget about America first. The November 6 election was a Democratic Party mandate, but to what end? Party rhetoric demands we hold Trump accountable for too many crimes, sins, and missteps to count. It also forces members to demonize Americans because if we’re not a nation of white supremacists the story they staked their House claim to evaporates. This is a dangerous strategy … [Read more...] about Mandate to Demonize Americans? Democrats Dangerous Gamble

Revolt Against Trump: Get Even Now by Doing Five Things

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 … [Read more...] about Revolt Against Trump: Get Even Now by Doing Five Things

Political Donations to the Republican Party are a Waste

October 4, 2018 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

RNC mailer asking for political donations to the Republican Party.

The RNC showed up in my mailbox with its hand out. The solicitation for political donations to the Republican Party came disguised as a survey with a vaguely threatening "FINAL NOTICE” at the top of the page. An offer to contribute $1,000 or more was at the bottom. In between were a lot of questions that solidified my decision that donating to the party is a waste of … [Read more...] about Political Donations to the Republican Party are a Waste

Despair in America Helps Progressives Exploit Hope

August 17, 2018 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

USAID fights despair in Madagascar. Christopher LaFargue/USAID.

When we give money to other countries through USAID our goal is to make it difficult for foreign governments to exploit despair. Why? Despair is dangerous — while poverty does not cause violent extremism, it creates conditions that extremists can exploit.1 The United States is not a third world country. Quite the opposite is true, though you wouldn’t always know it … [Read more...] about Despair in America Helps Progressives Exploit Hope
