Our trust as a nation in general has been wearing very thin over the past year, actually since the new administration took over. This has coincided loosely with the Covid-19 pandemic and the out-of-control rise of the far left and liberalism in general. There have been far too many things spoon-fed to us saying that this is for your own good and as time goes on you will learn to like these changes and learn to live with them. As these have accumulated, our trust has decreased. We have begun slowly to question these assumptions “for our own good” and to look for alternatives to an agenda which we now realize is dysfunctional. The question now becomes: where do we go from here, or how do we deal with this problem of control in our life-styles that used to be free?
The problem of trust begins with the dysfunctional government we now have. In addition to the inaccurate reporting of almost all of the news media, our Executive branch is dangerously weak. This is bad enough domestically, but it is inviting catastrophe in our foreign relations. Words like stupid, silly, infantile, senile, etc, come to mind. And we obviously can no longer trust an executive branch that is so out-of-touch with its citizens. There is no longer any credibility. Likewise Congress. Since it has been controlled by a party whose only agenda for years has been to impeach and destroy, nothing of value to we, the people, has been accomplished. As a group they have been mean, vindictive, controlling bureaucrats. Unseemly for a group of supposed lawmakers answering to the people who elected them. The Supreme Court has also lost our trust by only espousing liberal ideas and wishes. They are supposed to be above the fray and decide for the good of all, not just a small percentage of the population dedicated to its change so drastically that it could be our downfall as a nation of freedoms. In the Justice Department including the FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, Attorney General, etc, there is a severe lack of trust. Law enforcement in general seems to confuse the victim with the perpetrator. Help and support is given to questionable organizations with very questionable agendas. Mayors and governors of too many states promote lawlessness and destruction instead of keeping the peace. None of the above invites our trust.
Our trust is further fractured by rampant censorship, indoctrination, and propaganda. The media have lost their soul and their moral compass. Their purpose and fairness in reporting have been lost. They only report the party line: the far left liberalism, socialism and even communism in events that they purposefully edit and slant. Hopefully, parents are beginning to realize that their children of every age are being indoctrinated with acts and ideas that are not only disgusting, but harmful. The controls now being forced upon us include: masks, vaccinations, racism, socialism, atheism, abortion, higher taxes, inflation, history fractured, with an attempt to be rewritten, and open borders, the effects yet to be determined. Our immigration laws which have worked for decades are now being ignored.
If the above escalates, we will be able to exist, but conservatism will be driven underground. Day to day living will become similar to socialist and communist countries like Venezuela and Cuba, Russia and China. The black market will be ubiquitous, sine qua non. Your only choice for a decent wine or scotch or soap or toilet paper. And at an exorbitant price. If we extrapolate, this is possible but not inevitable. But the people must be heard. We must re-educate our government. This may seem daunting, but it is necessary if we are to retain our freedoms. Freedom is the reason that immigrants have come to this country. Will they now begin to turn around and leave? Probably not. But freedom isn’t free. Freedom takes work and daily maintenance. We the people must be heard in a loud and clear voice that says: Enough! Enough of the stupid, ridiculous, dysfunctional ideas from a ridiculously small percentage of people whose “dumbass” ideas are being promoted loudly and clearly, even though they are evil and being espoused by an irresponsible media, and government, including the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches.
We the people are the solution. We are the reason that this country with its Constitution and Bill of Rights exists. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln were intelligent, strong-willed leaders. We need a similar leadership. Our election process should be sacrosanct. We must insist on voter identification and accuracy and transparency in the vote counting process. Nothing less will be acceptable from this point onward. Our government must realize that they, all of them, work for us. We the People. Vote sensibly, our freedoms depend on this. Let us say, every day, “God Bless America.” And mean it…!
