The flaws of the progressive agenda,
the so called enlightened way of thinking, will be our undoing as a
free and independent nation if we continue to disregard history and
put a higher value on death and enslavement rather than life and
freedom. Why do those on the Left favor policies and forms of
government which embrace enslavement, death and destruction? The
Declaration of Independence is a liberating document; a document
which severed our ties with oppressive rule and authority. Why would
we want to go backwards? What is it about oppression and death that
is so appealing to the Left?
Life is a wonderful gift, yet last week
the state of Oregon celebrated a new law which makes abortions free
for everyone in their state, including illegal aliens. It's called
the Reproductive Health Equity Act. The Left likes to wrap their
twisted way of thinking into hot button packages. This appalling
package focuses on the fear mongering that someone or some entity is
out to shackle all females at their ovaries. How is it that we
understand the importance of life and the means to which we will go
to save a loved one from death, yet so many can blatantly disregard
the heartbeat of an unborn child? By making abortion an on demand
procedure, some sort of new age right, we become desensitized to the
true reality. Death is preferred over life and false rights,
granted by the government, allow the government to inch its way
further into a controlling role over everyone’s life.
More and more evidence is surfacing
that the Obama administration did spy on President Trump before and
after the election. This is huge and it should have everyone very
concerned, regardless of political beliefs. Do we want our
intelligence agencies secretly spying on American citizens for the
political gain of an administration? Think about that, our
intelligence agencies, if used improperly, could be used as political
weapons against everyone. Remember, during the Obama administration,
when members of Congress were monitored while Obama was involved in
the Iran nuclear negotiations? The thought of secret police spying
on Americans for political gain is very unsettling. Actually, it's
downright horrifying. There was a time when such actions only took
place by dictators in faraway lands.
Embracing dictators and their
oppressive, iron fist style of governance is not new for Left leaning
individuals. The love affair has however, gained more appeal as the
media has added their slobbering kisses and words of affection.
They've created a path, complete with rose petals, leading directly
to oppression. The Left is currently fawning over North Korean
dictator Kim Jong Un. Instead of supporting the President of the
United States and his duty to protect the American people and the
homeland, the Left is throwing their support behind a brutal
dictator; a dictator which is not only a threat to our allies but to
the United States. In 2016, while Obama was still in office, North
Korea threatened Manhattan with a hydrogen bomb. I want a president
who takes such threats seriously, not one who pacifies and ignores
threatening talk. Why aren't more Americans asking these questions?
Why does the Left and why did the Obama administration support our
enemies?
It always goes back to history. If we
do not know and understand events which took place in the past, we
will not see the warning signs. If we do not understand the warning
signs, we cannot act accordingly to avert future disasters. How many
times do we have to learn that you cannot pacify the enemy?
I was pleasantly surprised to learn
that a school district in Arizona did not support the altering of the
Declaration of Independence by one of its teachers. According to an
article in the Washington Times, a parent complained when it was
discovered that a teacher altered a poster of the Declaration of
Independence by crossing out “men” and inserted “humans.”
Thankfully, the administration had the teacher restore the document
to the original content.
You can almost hear the argument coming
from the Left, can't you? It makes more sense in today's politically
correct, or enlightened world, to make such changes so that no one
feels excluded. So just how far do you think the Left would like to
take their alterations? How much damage could be caused by swapping
out other words? What if, “endowed by their Creator” becomes
politically incorrect in the future? How much damage could be
inflicted with future alterations and substitutions?
“We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these
are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
Declaration of Independence
"Republicans should have read the latest ObamaCare polls before deciding to give up on repeal. Public support for the law has dropped sharply, while most like the idea of giving states greater control over health care.
"Foremost was the allegation – which emerged in transcripts of FBI staffer interviews conducted by the Office of Special Counsel – that the former FBI boss drafted a statement clearing Clinton in her personal email case weeks before interviewing her and making his public recommendation against criminal charges.
"You can find many timelines that follow allegations of Russia tampering in the U.S. election and alleged involvement of Trump officials. But I couldn’t find any comprehensive timelines cross-referencing Obama-era surveillance of whistleblowers, journalists and other U.S. citizens with Russia surveillance allegations. So I built one. Please note: temporal proximity of events doesn’t necessarily imply a connection."
