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of American greatness espoused by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution have been replaced by ideals and values dictated by increasingly divisive, polarized politics.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

Kindness is the New Word for Leftists Attacking the Right

January 25, 2017 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

Kindness is a popular word nowadays. It doesn’t have much to do with generosity or random acts. Instead, kindness is the new word for attacks on the right and most of all, President Trump. Even if the rumors and lies were true, Trump’s alleged hateful agenda would pale in comparison to what we saw during the inauguration. The liberal kindness charade gave us a sea of signs … [Read more...] about Kindness is the New Word for Leftists Attacking the Right

Contempt for President Trump: a Real Threat to America

Why so much contempt for Trump? Motorcycle procession down Pennsylvania Avenue for last GOP president, George W. Bush. White House photo by Paul Morse.

I am not surprised that Jimmy Carter is attending the inauguration. Whether or not you agree with his politics it’s hard to argue that the man has integrity. He is also wise enough to know that turning his back on America’s leader is a foolish thing to do. This isn’t the time to show contempt for President Trump. It’s time to show the world we can recover from a hateful, … [Read more...] about Contempt for President Trump: a Real Threat to America

Fair Share Meaning Just Changed for the Better

January 12, 2017 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

One of the dubious achievements Obama took credit for in his farewell speech in Chicago was the wealthy paying a fairer share of taxes. There was a joke hiding in that boast. We all know that Democrats will never stop demanding a larger fair share of higher incomes, so “fairer” means absolutely nothing. The good news is that all the accomplishments inflicted upon us can be … [Read more...] about Fair Share Meaning Just Changed for the Better

One Nation Divided by Politicians: Is it Too Late?

January 2, 2017 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

While a new year stares us in the face an unanswered question won’t go away. Can the one nation we used to take pride in come back together, or did we finally go too far? Can we trade unity for the insecurities politicians used to split us up? Americans bumped elbows in Times Square, Chicago, and other big cities to ring in 2017 and probably didn’t stop to wonder who the … [Read more...] about One Nation Divided by Politicians: Is it Too Late?

Resentment Over Whiteness Will Explode in 2017

Will this become a whiteness problem? New York gang arrest, Newburgh, New York. Courtesy FBI.

Whiteness was the worst word of 2016. We are about to find out that whiteness is the cause of every problem afflicting our nation. The nasty thing about it is that whiteness can be spun to apply to just about any domestic issue the country wants to be angry about whether it is police conduct, fair wages, immigration, education, or government spending. Resentment over … [Read more...] about Resentment Over Whiteness Will Explode in 2017
