The
annals of Democratic ridiculousness continue.
Invading Washington, D.C. with illusions of an electoral mandate and
super-infused with their fantastical liberal agenda, the Joe Biden
Administration and the Congressional Democrats have spent a full year now
attempting to re-invent this country in their foolish vision. Needless to say, the results have been less
than satisfying….for all involved.
In
my initial post for 2022, I am going to take a somewhat lengthy approach to
laying out many of the issues that will have a significant impact on exactly
what this country becomes. The lack of
success and enthusiasm the Democrats have managed to generate for their
specious policies can perhaps give us hope that a gradual public realization of
their implausibility will soon mitigate their realization. However, there are many months until the
mid-term elections that might neuter our runaway Congress and it is essentially
a lifetime until our next presidential election that might result in a sea
change of national leadership. The
struggle for the soul of our nation is fully engaged and the outcome of that
struggle is far from certain.
Each
one of us could affect this result. We
will either engage…or we will sit idly by and let others decide for us. A neutral position is no longer acceptable,
because both national parties have learned to parlay that neutrality to their
own advantage. It is essential that when
the future of our children and our children’s children is determined, it can be
said that we each stepped up and spoke; that our voice (or vote) was heard. Our
silence simply feeds the beast. Here is
a collection of national subjects that largely determine how that struggle will
play out. Consider how you feel about
each one. Inform yourself as to the
policy positions of each candidate and each national party. And once you know where you stand, channel that resolution into action. The politicians in our world are willing,
even anxious, to commandeer your rights and privileges in pursuit of their
agendas. Don’t give them up!
One
of the areas where Biden’s arrogance and obstinacy has been so damaging is how
his Administration has handled the pandemic. When campaigning for the presidency, Biden
essentially laid every…single…death
resulting from the pandemic at the feet of Donald Trump. He railed about how incompetent the Trump
Administration was in combating the pandemic and how, if he were elected, he would quickly put an end to it. He was elected. Reality is a bitch. More people have died as a result of the
pandemic under Biden than under Trump.
And Trump left Biden a vaccine to fight with. Now Biden, his liberal fraternity, the
Democratic Congress, and the mainstream media are all dealing with the stark
difference between criticizing those
in charge and being the one responsible
for making the calls.

The
liberal community in America has controlled higher education for
decades. That element in our teaching
and educational administrative departments has indoctrinated graduates in irresponsible
and unrealistic social policies that have eroded the integrity and
effectiveness of our culture and society; most notably in appointed government
positions. That decadent influence has
now seeped into our high schools, our elementary schools, and yes…even our
kindergarten and pre-K education processes.
There
are encouraging signs that parents across the nation are now paying attention
to exactly what is being taught in
schools and how it is being
taught. This attention must translate
into parents taking effective control of their local school boards so that
education can return to its fundamental roots and the social engineering that
poses as Karen-parenting can be eliminated from our children’s curriculum.

President
Trump was on many occasions an arrogant, combative, egotist whose abrasive
style often overwhelmed his substantial substance. This reality was quite prevalent in the
implementation of his foreign policy. His “America
First” and nationalistic tendencies offended many in America and many
others in foreign lands…both allies and enemies. But the one thing that Trump restored to our
foreign policy that had been sorely lacking for quite some time was the clarity
of exactly who was an ally and who was an enemy.
Foreign
leaders might not have liked him; but
foreign leaders respected him. He restored America to the eminent position
as chief defender of freedom, liberty, and human rights in this world. Four years of relative peace was the result
of that policy. In less than a year, the
Biden Administration has decimated that progress and turned our foreign policy
into a mush of ever-changing positions, conflicting principles, and weak-kneed
rhetoric. Biden has made this world a
very dangerous place.

No
single policy area more directly hits home with the average American than economic
policy. There are many factors
that go into determining what will be the quality of life for us and our
families; but at the end of the day, the amount of disposable income available
to us has a huge impact of that quality.
In no single area of our lives
were Donald Trump’s policies more effective than they were in economics. Immediately prior to the onset of the
pandemic, the U.S. economy was functioning at a high level of historical
success. Unemployment was low, inflation
was well under control, upward mobility in the job sectors was reaching all
people in every demographic and income strata, and job participation was at an
historical high level. Wages were experiencing real growth for the first
time in decades.
And
even though the pandemic threw a wet blanket over all of this, the fundamentals
that led to this thriving economy remained in place and were poised to once
again rise to those high levels and pick right up where they left off before
the global illness swept in. All Joe
Biden had to do was “do nothing”, sit
back, and reap the benefits of a vigorously rebounding national economy. But no…he did not do that. Blinded by an inexplicable drive to abandon
that which had worked, he replaced it with illogical, impractical, and
fundamentally flawed liberal economic principles, Biden abandoned all policies
that were remotely associated with Donald Trump and began implementing the
social policies held in such high esteem by the Democratic Party and the
liberal community. We are now reaping
that whirlwind. The economy is in the toilet.

Nowhere
is the liberal detachment from reality more evident than in their blind obsession
calling for the immediate destruction of the U.S. energy sector and its
replacement by all things green. Their
naïve attitude of “if it feels good, do
it” drives their idiotic pursuit of inefficient and unreliable electric
power and it is at the expense of national energy independence that has helped
to make our nation safe, secure, and free-standing.
Rather than strategically and
intelligently integrating innovative and alternative energy sources into our
culture while maintaining the solid and existing foundation that currently
exists, they insist on throwing fossil fuels overboard and
making a blind leap into the deep and icy cold waters of green energy.
Unfortunately, this foolish escapade will likely be met head-on by the harsh
realities of the world as opposed to the political solutions of the ballot
box. It’s gonna leave some scars.

The
liberal demagoguery being practiced in the area of immigration reform is so
thick it could rival peanut butter in the sandwich-making department. Carelessly and irresponsibly tossing aside a
successful and fully functioning immigration operation upon his arrival in the
White House, Joe Biden had essentially abandoned our southern border and opened
up America to illegal and uncontrolled immigration from all nations and peoples
of the world, good and evil.
Much
as they have done in so many other policy areas and upon discovering that their
ill-conceived and simplistic solutions to common problems were wholly
inadequate and wrong-headed, the liberal community has simply thrown up their
arms in total surrender to the challenge of controlling illegal immigration and
created a free and unfettered passage way that is hundreds of miles wide. Common sense and reason screams that it is
only a matter of time before the undesirable elements that have so easily
infiltrated our nation through this abdication of responsibility will execute a
deed of truly evil intent and proportion.

The
Democratic Party and the liberal community love to ascend to their
self-righteous pedestals and arrogantly lecture us on ethics and morals and how
they undoubtedly know what is better for us than we know for ourselves. It is sickening that so many of these people
who function at the level of snakes
presume to lecture others who, while being flawed and imperfect themselves, are
attempting to create a good and decent life for themselves and their
families.
Both
national political parties are corrupt and are driven mainly by inflated
opinions of their value, worth, and wisdom.
But beginning with Obama, the Democrats and the liberal community have
taken their higher-than-thou Karen attitudes to new heights and obliterated any
semblance of ethics in governing.

It
is truly tragic to watch the evolution of our Department of Justice as it turns
into nothing less than a political appendage of the Democratic Party and the
liberal community. The liberals run
about pounding their chests and screaming at the top of their voices about JUSTICE;
but it is “justice for me and not for
thee”. In liberal orthodoxy, if you
are one of them, there is understanding and forgiveness for most any
transgression. If you are not one of them
and dare to speak contrary to their liberal mantra, there is absolutely no
margin for error in action, judgment, or opinion. In their minds, the U.S. government exists
for the sole purpose of aiding the liberal community in its attempted
transformation of this nation into a petri-dish, social experiment of life as
they envision it. Their desired “ends” justifies any “means” necessary and they shamelessly,
and increasingly, use their power, authority, and discretion in bald-faced
efforts to change the fundamental nature of our Constitution and government.
This
implementation of Democratic liberal justice runs the gamut from lax District
Attorneys at the local level who ignore crimes of a certain nature, through the
pretensions of election reforms that in fact lock in polling advantages for
those who would subvert the election process, and all the way up to the blatant
malfeasance of elected officials who pursue self-enrichment through the abuse
of power and authority.

The
January
6, 2021 event at our nation’s Capitol is a perfect platform to
illustrate what our political world has come to. Every politician, every Party, every person
willing to express an opinion on the matter…EVERYONE
wants to spin this event in such a fashion as to support their personal
agenda.
Whatever
that opinion might be, there are two elements that must be strongly considered
when examining that day. First…what are the facts? How many people were involved? How much actual damage occurred? How many people were injured? How long did it last? Was it spontaneous, or contrived, or agitated
by outside/inside parties? And secondly…what is the context? How do the facts of this event stack up
against the facts of other similar, but distinctly different, events that had
previously occurred in the last couple of years? Is the number of participants
comparable? Is the amount of material
damage comparable? Is the number of
personal injuries/fatalities comparable?
What are the apparent motivations/causes for the events? And
perhaps most importantly…are the transgressors of this event being treated
equally under the law as compared to the transgressors of previous and similar
events?
January
6 was a bad look for everyone involved.
There is abundant blame to go around.
It was a dark moment in our nation’s history. But the blatant seizure of that day and its
shameful use to promote various political and social agendas is just as
despicable as the event itself.

How
are the liberal, socially-centric policies of the Democrat Party, President Joe
Biden, the mainstream media, and the intelligentsia complex of this nation
working for you and your family? If the
stories you have read above lend you comfort and optimism for America’s future,
then you are in a good place right now.
On the other hand, if you are concerned about the future these policies
will create for you and your family; if the fundamental logic and reasoning of
these agendas confuse you and lead you to challenge their soundness; if you
find the ethics and morals woven into these ideas inconsistent with your
personal beliefs…then the time has come
for you to decide how you can best impact the change of course
necessary to combat, mitigate, or eliminate these efforts.
