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
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of American greatness espoused by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution have been replaced by ideals and values dictated by increasingly divisive, polarized politics.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.
Self-Respect, the Virtue the People Gave Up in 2016

If we did, self-respect would be the one that we decided to give … [Read more...] about Self-Respect, the Virtue the People Gave Up in 2016
No Christmas for America This Year. We Don’t Deserve It.
Can you imagine a bigger disappointment for a child than a year with no Christmas? What if December 25, 2016 was just like any other day? No hope for presents, lights, trees, carols, Christmas cookies, or stockings until next year. No child deserves that, but America does. Our behavior this year should mean no Christmas until 2017. No hope, just a legacy of … [Read more...] about No Christmas for America This Year. We Don’t Deserve It.
More Perfect Union? Preamble’s Principles Died This Year
Chicago took down its Trump signs.1 The city no longer deemed him worthy of its respectful brown placards. Removing the signs in this destitute sanctuary city is probably more of an honor to a Republican than putting them up, but no one would argue that payback and disrespect are a sign of the times. This is just another example of how the more perfect union the country was … [Read more...] about More Perfect Union? Preamble’s Principles Died This Year
Don’t Thank God. Pray to the Government.
Your government wants to do more than run your life. It wants you to have faith that it will do it better than you can. That means there is no reason to thank God for the things we need. All we have to do is pray to the government, which will give us what it thinks we should have whether we want it or not. Don’t thank God for these things There is a reason Bernie Sanders … [Read more...] about Don’t Thank God. Pray to the Government.
