Process of Enlightenment

By Tammy Derouin

I think most Americans are pretty level-headed. When given the facts and the correct information, most people can make reasonable deductions and good decisions. The problem is so much information is controlled by liberal entities to push a very liberal anti-American agenda. Truth be damned if it doesn't serve their purpose. They make every attempt to drown out anyone who dares to stand in their way. So I always find it interesting and somewhat amusing when individuals allow themselves to be questioned about politics and policy. When individuals are asked to determine which political party endorses certain ideals or carried out certain deeds, it can be an eye-opening or even jaw dropping experience.

When watching such an exchange, a process of enlightenment tends to unfold. Sometimes, there's a certain amount of cockiness, especially if the individual is confident that he truly knows his candidate or party. Throw a little socialism or communist ideology into the mix and it gets even more interesting. Cockiness eventually turns to uneasiness as beliefs, once thought to be true, become blank stares with head scratching uncertainty.

The Democratic Party is getting pretty desperate, so desperate that they are attempting to turn good things into bad things. They want to be seen as coming to the rescue. Somehow this is supposed to make them and their party seem more appealing. They latch on to topics and issues which they think will bring them the most votes. Yes, they do get some votes by appealing to the main stream media loyalists and those who wish to hear lies rather than truth. But, there's nothing appealing about the swamp and all its shadowy creatures. Exposure to the sun and a good cleansing with the truth doesn't set well with them. The cover of darkness, with transparency as thick as mud, is needed to keep their agenda oozing forward.

Their heads are still spinning from a political loss, a loss which wasn't supposed to happen. They stacked the deck in their favor and even took out an insurance policy by way of using false information against their opponent, and still lost the election. As the story continues to unravel and the truth unfolds, it is becoming clearer that they were doing the very things they accused the opposition of doing. They just can't figure out how the American people out smarted the Liberal Left. After all, they know what's best for everyone, just ask them. They are still fuming over the fact that we didn't buy their endless lies and deceit. Instead of learning from the errors of their ways, they've decided to double down and dig in for another round of deception.

Sometimes you just have to sit back and let things unfold. Stand your ground when it is necessary but sometimes, the more somebody wishes to destroy you, the more they are actually destroying themselves. The sooner more Americans are presented with facts and accurate information, the sooner this country will be able to weed out those who claimed to be helping, but turned out to only be helping themselves. Hopefully, the individuals in question will also be held accountable for their actions.

As the hocus-pocus continues, another round of turning good into bad is under way. The Democrats are destroying themselves by pushing destructive thoughts and ideology. The American people already saw through their deceit and chose not to vote them back into power. Hopefully, the vigilance will continue because they continue to promote an agenda which is counterproductive and harmful for the American people.

Spinning that tax hikes are good and that the government can make better decisions for us if they control more of our money is ludicrous. But then again, so is open borders, catch and release, sanctuary cities, gun free zones, free speech zones (other than our nation as a whole), blaming a weapon or device and not the individual for a crime, encouraging individuals to participate in protests which will lead to the loss of our rights, protecting and not pursuing the possible criminal behavior of government officials, and any action which removes the rights of the people and gives more control to the government is a dangerous practice.

While the Democratic Party tries to hold on to voters, holding on too tightly may cause more to slip away. We are a Republic with checks and balances, not majority rule.
