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of American greatness espoused by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution have been replaced by ideals and values dictated by increasingly divisive, polarized politics.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

Is America Bad? Democrats Can’t Decide on Racist History.

July 4, 2021 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

Is America bad? Democrats want us to believe we are even though millions of illegal immigrants they lured here don't agree. Neither do liberal hacks like Jerry Nadler (D-NY) who pushes for even more legal immigration: Currently, more than one million individuals are stuck in the employment-based immigrant visa backlog and nearly four million are waiting for a family-based … [Read more...] about Is America Bad?

Resentment is Poison to Our Country and It’s Growing

June 10, 2021 by Bob Prokop 2 Comments

Blue sky with white clouds over green field.

Left-wing activists, liberal politicians, school administrators, teachers, mayors, and public officials everywhere are openly encouraging Americans to resent our country, values, history, culture, and even our own people. Their resentment is poison to our country. It's also a bounty for the political left. Leftists hope that growing resentment will drive people away from the … [Read more...] about Resentment is Poison to Our Country and It’s Growing

Oxymorons for Democrats: Conflicting Words Hide Big Lies

It’s a good thing that the policy positions between Republicans and Democrats are so often irreconcilable. Deadlock stops our government from doing the kinds of reckless, unethical things that Democrats are doing now like spending trillions on the radical left's priorities while they lie about how the money is all for the people. By now we've had a pretty good taste of what … [Read more...] about Oxymorons for Democrats: Conflicting Words Hide Big Lies

Grace, Gratitude, Gratefulness are Not Democratic Values

April 29, 2021 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

Lyrics to America the Beautiful above entrance, Cox Corridors, South Wing, U.S. Capitol. Architect of the Capitol.

I didn't watch the Oscars this year or last year, for that matter. Watching performers get on their stump about what's wrong with a country that hands them massive wealth for playing make-believe doesn't sit well. Neither does listening to athletes defame America for making them rich playing games. Grace, gratitude, and gratefulness are not values for liberals and especially … [Read more...] about Grace, Gratitude, Gratefulness are Not Democratic Values

We Stand for Democracy Means Corporations Support This?

April 17, 2021 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

Scale with bag of money and statement "The Roberts Five tipped the scale in favor of corporations and special interests."

It's embarrassing to watch big business line up to bully Georgia into doing the Democrat Party's bidding. Corporations are making a ridiculous, albeit irrelevant claim that "We Stand for Democracy." If they were more honest about their values they would add "because we're afraid to say no." This is the era of capitalist cowardice. The fear of woke retaliation's impact on the … [Read more...] about We Stand for Democracy Means Corporations Support This?
