Commander In Chef

By Tammy Derouin

I’ve had it with all the pot stirring by special interest groups.  I wonder how much of this would be taking place if our leader wasn’t holding the spoon. Progressives and radicals never let an opportunity go to waste.  It allows them to do things they might not have otherwise been able to accomplish.  If a crisis doesn’t evolve on its own, they have no problem nudging, pushing and shoving it along.  

The executive, or Commander In Chef, loves stirring the pot.  He stirs and he stirs, waiting for an opportunity to serve his favorite dish, chaos.  His special, but no longer secret ingredient is pepper, or anything that gets the blood boiling.  He really seems to favor this special spice as he indiscriminately tosses it on everything.  

Why would he want to turn everything into a hot item?  According to the Constitution, his days are numbered.  He doesn’t like limitations.  He feels he knows best.  At times, Congress has been able to muster up enough backbone to prevent the executive from moving forward, I mean backwards.  But, when this happens, the executive thumbs his nose and goes around them by way of executive order. 

Still, Congress has given in to his will too many times.  They have all but made themselves obsolete.  The executive doesn’t have any respect for our Constitution or for our way of life.  He has been systematically trying to destroy it for many years.  Congress and the court system are taking the same path as the press.  Our press is now a puppet press.  Our Congress and courts will become a dangling toy for the soon to be master.

When the press, which was our first informational line of defense, fell to the want-a-be king/dictator, red flags should have been going up all over the place.  At that point, we were already in the danger zone.  The press was actively engaged in selling and promoting the red flags.  What was considered a warning sign in my youth is now being repackaged as the way of the future.  Thanks to history, many of us know and realize forward means backwards.

The playbook the executive follows is the same so many others before him have followed.  If the correct version of history is no longer taught, how will future generations recognize a power grab and the tyranny that will inevitably follow?  How will future generations understand their God given rights if they are not taught how to read cursive? 

It isn’t a coincident that those who wish to have ultimate power figure out a way to destabilize the system of government.  It’s in their best interest to encourage the citizens to be dependent upon the government; a nanny state is created.  Removing weapons from the populace prevents fewer obstacles as the people would be unable to defend themselves against any type of evil. A takeover of the educational system is extremely essential.  Changing our history and our traditions, then repackaging them as a positive forward motion is a dangerous recipe for disaster.  Anything sound familiar?

Our Constitution is a one of a kind, original recipe.  The world had never before seen anything like our history making Declaration of Independence.  Individual freedom with limited interference from the government was a unique idea.  Someone who views this as a bad recipe would do everything in his power to ruin the outcome.   Those with an anti-freedom agenda would want to make sure future generations are not capable of reading the original document. 

We are Americans! Let’s go back to setting the example for the world to follow and stop acting like spoiled crybabies for the world to mock and conquer.  You don’t think our enemies, foreign and domestic, are waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of all the inner turmoil being created by the executive chef? 

Not only do our enemies wait, they fan the flame.  Life is busy but we need to pay attention to what is happening around us.  The puppet press isn’t going to give us the truth.  The truth is out there but you must be willing to see reality.  History repeats.  The key to the future is in our past.

If we continue to ignore what is taking place, the water we are sitting in will continue to get hotter.  It will eventually boil and our proverbial goose will be cooked.  We do not need a new recipe.  We do, however, need to figure out a way to stop the exuberant amount of pepper being added to the mix.

Many lives have been lost to establish and preserve our individual rights and freedoms.  I hope future generations understand the true meaning of being an American.  We are exceptional because we are free. 

“It does not take a majority to prevail…but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”
