I drove past a sign on a church yesterday that asked us to “Pray for our Nation.” Assuming this was a reference to the new president, my knee-jerk reaction was anger. It didn’t occur to me until later that the sign might not have had anything to do with the new liberal left war on America. That’s a sad testament to how fractured our nation is. We hoped relations between left … [Read more...] about Liberal Left War on America Attacks the Best Thing About Us
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of American greatness espoused by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution have been replaced by ideals and values dictated by increasingly divisive, polarized politics.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.
Our Differences or Unity: Which Is Worth More?
The hard sell is over. We bought into who we want, or at least who we think we want. The good news is that unity is the new buzzword and everyone wants to get along. The bad news is that this newfound togetherness doesn’t mean anything. It is just a prelude to more divisiveness. Our differences are always going to be worth more money than unity. Traitors and detractors suck … [Read more...] about Our Differences or Unity: Which Is Worth More?
Social Media, Rumors, Fake News Control Our Politics
Social media is a filthy, stinking cesspool. If you spend any time on the big social media sites you will read shocking things, especially when the topic is controversial. Obscenities and insults are the rule. Worthwhile discussion has vanished. Rumors, fake news, and bald-faced lies abound. Sharing and re-sharing turn it all into the truth. We should worry less about … [Read more...] about Social Media, Rumors, Fake News Control Our Politics
Integrity Is For Losers, Political Office for Winners
America hates losers. Our reputation comes from winning. We give consolation prizes for second best. Cities even throw parades for losing sports teams, but deep down we know what these things are: celebrations of shame. Whether or not the good fight was fought with integrity, a loss makes you a loser. Losers have integrity, winners get political office Americans go to … [Read more...] about Integrity Is For Losers, Political Office for Winners
Future of Conservatism? To Rule in Congressional Hell
What happened to the future of conservatism? Republicans killed it. Democrats were more than willing to assist. After years of blaming Barack Obama for everything from moral transgressions in his health care bill to handing a nuclear weapon to Iran, the right blew it again and we did it in the worst way imaginable. We set ourselves up to get stomped by another Clinton. The … [Read more...] about Future of Conservatism? To Rule in Congressional Hell
