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of American greatness espoused by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution have been replaced by ideals and values dictated by increasingly divisive, polarized politics.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

Are Conservative Republicans Facing Disaster?

December 14, 2014 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

Will GOP victories in November turn out to be a disaster for conservative Republicans suddenly faced with having to accomplish something? Party leaders are on the hook for undoing presidential actions that are proving spectacularly difficult, if not impossible to get rid of. If they are going to beat Obama, GOP members will have to agree with each other. That's a problem. The … [Read more...] about Are Conservative Republicans Facing Disaster?

Rewarding Criminals and Scorning the Will of the People

December 12, 2014 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

There is no better time to give up that dead end career wearing a paper hat and stuffing French fries in bags. Finally, criminals are going to be rewarded for making a worthwhile life choice. They won’t have to worry about the will of the people being heard in Washington and getting in the way of causing pain, property loss, suffering, and death. The will of the people doesn’t … [Read more...] about Rewarding Criminals and Scorning the Will of the People

Free Speech: How to Misuse it for Maximum Impact

October 30, 2014 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

Is political office the last bastion of free speech? Are Americans too naive to recognize the truth behind tacky, cheaply produced campaign ads and the inflammatory free speech they see on social media? Republicans and Democrats are equally guilty of the misuse of free speech on a level most citizens could never hope to accomplish, but only one side wants to elevate this … [Read more...] about Free Speech: How to Misuse it for Maximum Impact

Dignity is Important Because It’s Cheap and Easy to Sell

October 23, 2014 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

Dignity is easy for politicians to sell. From where they stand it doesn’t cost much. Dignity at the level they think we deserve is cheap. It’s not even their money they spend to buy it. It fits in well with the patronizing package of sanctimony that has been assaulting us from our radios, televisions, and mailboxes this campaign season. We are told that dignity comes from … [Read more...] about Dignity is Important Because It’s Cheap and Easy to Sell

Angry Americans Can Create Real Change

July 6, 2014 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

If you want to see how angry Americans create change, have a look at what’s happening in Murrieta, California. California may be the only state less likely than Barack Obama’s home state of Illinois to sprout grass roots protests against his immigration abuses. Now we know that even liberal California has a boiling point when people are pushed too far. Barack Obama has done a … [Read more...] about Angry Americans Can Create Real Change
