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of American greatness espoused by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution have been replaced by ideals and values dictated by increasingly divisive, polarized politics.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

Progressive Goals Build a Society That Hurts Everyone

Progressive goals that hurt us: Obamacare Get Covered promotion. Courtesy Whitehouse.gov.

Don't think for a moment that your life means more to a progressive Democrat than death and taxes. You work. Government takes its cut of every paycheck, the bigger the better. You retire and die. If there is enough money left over your estate gets skimmed. That's it. We are worth a few bucks for the leftist cause. Collecting money to pay for progressive goals is the point, not … [Read more...] about Progressive Goals Build a Society That Hurts Everyone

Disrespect for America: Great Lessons for Your Children

September 9, 2016 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

When a well-known quarterback whose name doesn’t deserve another mention achieved fame of another sort by refusing to stand for the national anthem, many viewed his behavior as disrespect for America. He taught us an unfortunate lesson: propaganda spreads lies that people believe. In this case it was the same lie that inspires violence against the police. How we react to … [Read more...] about Disrespect for America: Great Lessons for Your Children

Threat to Democracy is Just a Con Job

September 7, 2016 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

Nothing is so good that it can’t be corrupted. Democracy is no exception. Despite poll numbers that show the laughably low regard we have for what politicians say and do, threatening our country is business as usual in Washington. Does our distrust of our elected representatives threaten American democracy? Hardly. It protects the republic. It keeps us on guard. Something a … [Read more...] about Threat to Democracy is Just a Con Job

Ethics Rules: Term Limits Will Never Be Enough

August 18, 2016 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

Term limits are back, or at least they are in Illinois. A petition to help fix Illinois from Turnaround Illinois is trying to stir public interest in an ethics issue that plagues the state, Capitol Hill, and almost everywhere politicians refuse to hop off the public service gravy train. This doesn’t mean term limits will be passed in Illinois any more than we will limit … [Read more...] about Ethics Rules: Term Limits Will Never Be Enough
