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of American greatness espoused by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution have been replaced by ideals and values dictated by increasingly divisive, polarized politics.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

Being Free Is Not a Deal With Government

Even if you don’t trust polls it’s safe to say that many celebrating being free this Fourth of July will also be voting for Hillary Clinton. Count me out. I’d take a long shot on nuclear annihilation at the hands of the crazy right winger she keeps warning us about before I’d submit to another condescending Democrat. Why? Because I like being free. It’s what this country is all … [Read more...] about Being Free Is Not a Deal With Government

Have Faith in America or Lying Politicians?

Washington blames the dynamics of politics for its failure to get things done. The truth is that the less Congress accomplishes the better. We the people are the reason things stay on course. Most of us have faith in America no matter what our political loyalties are. It makes a lot more sense than placing our faith in lying politicians and whatever version of America they … [Read more...] about Have Faith in America or Lying Politicians?

Black People Tricked by Party’s Immigration Plans

We recently treated the world to the embarrassment of some wildly successful black people complaining about diversity in the industry that made them rich. If nothing else, this proves the race card's ability to reinvent itself. It’s still viable if played correctly and no longer respects the boundaries between wealth and poverty that used to define discrimination. Life … [Read more...] about Black People Tricked by Party’s Immigration Plans

Bully Candidate Is the Newest Conservative Tragedy

February 26, 2016 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

What do Marco Rubio and the Pope have in common? They both confronted a bully candidate for the GOP nomination who is more intent on seeking attention with insults and abuse than giving us concrete reasons why he should call the shots from on high. Many conservatives applauded Donald Trump for his remarks on the pontiff’s determination to watch his church's illegal numbers … [Read more...] about Bully Candidate Is the Newest Conservative Tragedy

Update February 16, 2022: called again. The pandemic will not get you out of jury duty, but it will put your civic pride at risk. Update February 8, 2022: thank woke criminal justice for turning civic pride into a partisan responsibility. Update June 23, 2021: Cook County jury trials are back and the bias will be worse than ever. Update November 23, 2019: … [Read more...] about Jury Duty: Can the Burden of Civic Pride Create Bias?
