Happy Birthday, America…Let’s Take a Long Walk

We are less than two years out from a national election that will determine the future path of our lives.  This is the country you are living in.  Take a good look.  Read these stories and get a feel about the shape of YOUR nation.  You like what you see?  If not, do something about it.  Find a candidate you can believe in.  VOTE FOR CHANGE!

 

This is a long post, but it covers a lot of important ground from many different perspectives.  A time of decision for our nation is at hand.  We can continue as we are, moving towards a new state of being with little regard for that from whence we came…or…we can adhere to our founding principles, honor our Constitution, and attempt to restore our nation’s original soul and meaning.  We walk…..

 

“Big Brother” is alive and well and growing incessantly.  Combine unbridled technological abilities with corrupted and unprincipled autocrats, throw in a partisan and agenda-driven liberal media, and you have created a deadly brew indeed.  Privacy is an illusion.

The only thing that rivals the growth of corruption in our government is the literal growth of our government.  It is expanding exponentially and the rot is becoming not only pervasive…it is no longer even a source of embarrassment or shame.  In fact, under the Obama and Biden administrations, it appears to be a badge of honor.   Equal justice in America is a lost concept and the power of wealth and influence has won the day. 

 

The head of the Department of Justice snake must be removed in order to begin the process of reclaiming ethical performance, transparent operations, and professional, non-partisan law enforcement.

Thank the Lord and our nation’s Founders that we have THREE branches of government that provide checks and balances on each other.  The liberal theory on the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) operations pretty much says that any prior case that was decided in their favor is a super-precedent.  Any prior case that was decided against their favor is heresy and must be overturned.  As long as the current court is ruling along their philosophical lines, it is a fount of wisdom and decorum.  If the current court is ruling contrary to their agenda, the court is full of lunatics and must be radically reformed in some way.  Let us consider what SCOTUS has been up to recently.

 

Using discrimination as a remedy for discrimination is still discrimination.  College admissions should be merit-based, transparent, and color-blind.

Joe Biden considers himself the King of America and not subject to the Courts or to Congress.  The top Court in America disagrees.  The smack down has been delivered.  However, the lesson does not appear to have been learned.  Legitimate debts should be repaid.  Having taxpayers pay debts for professional students is illegitimate.  If the college loan program needs reformation…and it probably does…then reform it.  Adults…young and old…who incur legal debt have a moral obligation to repay that debt.

The Government should protect the rights of individuals to believe as they wish and pursue life, liberty, and happiness.  They should NOT try to tell each and every one of us how we should execute that pursuit and define for us what happiness should be.

These are three great decisions by the SCOTUS that validate the wisdom and integrity of our Constitution.  They should be celebrated and we can only hope it is an indication of how future cases might be determined.  However…everyone does not see it that way.

What types of policies do the Democrats and liberal supporters advocate for?  THESE are the ideals that they would have SCOTUS uphold and this is why they seek broadening government empowerment.

Joe Biden and the Democrats are loud and proud of his “Bidenomics”…how is that working for you?  How is that working for America?  What type of economic future is that providing for our children and grandchildren?

Why should we limit the growth of our government?  Certainly not because they are brilliant accountants and managers: https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/small-business-administration-covid-19-pandemic/2023/06/27/id/1125153/

 

Let us consider the status of our lives in three areas: foreign policy, education, and energy.  What type of grades will you assign to our current President, his loyal Party, and his Administration?

 

Foreign Policy…the long term safety and security of our families…

As I have written many times before, there is nothing more essential today than a thoughtful, intelligent, transparent, and practical examination of our country’s education system.  Our children are our most precious resource.

Although it is an astronomically-high bar to clear, there is no area of governance that better exhibits the stupidity, incompetence, and cluelessness of the Biden Administration and their Democrat Party than that of our national energy policy.  The decisions that they have made over the last two years have done irreparable damage to our nation, its people, and its future security.  The energy policy follies that we have witnessed from these folks will without a doubt place the very independence of our country in jeopardy.

Our current President is a sad example of The Peter Principl, which supposes that people will eventually rise to their level of incompetence.  Joe Biden has clearly arrived.  Do you suppose the collective voters of our nation are sufficiently competent to select a successor for this sad old clown from the choices that will become available to us next year?

To close out this post, I choose to highlight three articles that address our nation upon its birthday.  They speak of where we came from, how we survived, what we should stand for, and perhaps…where we are headed.  May God bless America.
