The US Constitution protects Americans against government suppression of free speech, especially “matters of public concern.” In a self-governing republic, election integrity, processes, outcomes, and public corruption must be discussed – trust depends on it. Four scary facts define where America is right now. Here they are.
First, the 2020 presidential election sits uneasily with Americans. Those who voted Biden-Harris do not feel the outcome is honored; those who voted Trump-Pence question 2020 novelties and anomalies, including overdependence on mail-in ballots. If done, they worry about the future.
Easy to see where hard feelings come from. Ideological stakes were – and are – high. One side pushes more centralized control over states, small businesses, and individual liberties (e.g., limits on speech, worship, assembly, travel, self-defense, and privacy), rolled back border security, police, and military, high spending on COVID, redistribution of wealth (e.g., higher taxes), race relations, fossil fuels, abortion (including late term), and reconnection with Iran and China.
The other side is a mirror image – less government, more deference to states, small businesses, individual liberties, border protection, police funding, military readiness, concern over federal debt, spending, and higher taxes, reopening the economy, getting kids back to school, turning off riots, opposing abortion, and holding international bad actors accountable via sanctions.
Clear is the ideological rift. In 2020, it created a hyper-partisan contest, “all or nothing.” Rather than a national conversation, America fractured along ideological lines. The depth of this fissure, a chasm on ideas, is dangerous. Free speech – if allowed – helps us get beyond it.
Second, preoccupation with personality. Danger two is how one personality – Donald Trump – dominated the cycle. From Washington and Lincoln to FDR and Reagan, Americans view politics through their leader; we hear a message but see a candidate. Donald Trump is an outsized personality, whether you like or hate him. That, by itself, is fine.
The problem is that this cycle – going back four years – was all about him. Those who thrill to less government, reduced regulation and taxes, strong borders, police, military, moral compass, and patriotism saw in Trump a moral leader. His style was different, voice authentic. Those who oppose such things made him the moral villain. Therein lies the problem. When we demonize – or lionize – we start to slip. Our Republic rests on laws, objectivity, reason, history, rights, and national security – not emotions, devotion to personalities, or preoccupation with venality.
What happened was demonization of an American leader, producing an equal and opposite, predictable defense of that leader. The mistake goes on today, as wild-eyed Democrats now push unconstitutional use of a removal penalty – impeachment – against a leader they detest. When politics gets this crazy, we are putting our judgment – and our nation – at risk.
Third, foreign adversaries are limbering up. China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Islamic terrorists see these divisions, self-doubt, and impeachment as weakness. They are leaning forward, historically hostile, dangerous, and opportunistic. They are not stupid. They lean for a reason. China sees America distracted, eyes Hong Kong and Taiwan. Russia eyes Eastern Europe. Iran wants nuclear weapons, no more sanctions. North Korea aims to push us.
The fourth threat is biggest, comes from within – social media. Leading social media platforms – fed by government contracts, protected from civil liability, operational monopolists, unabashedly Democrat-affiliated, are claiming a right to blunt free speech.
Forget 2020. Look ahead. Using Saul Alinsky-like “corporate jujitsu,” they assert a right to shut down conservative voices based on “corporate” free speech. It is brilliant, bamboozling, and dangerous to any self-governing republic. Why? If government can suppress speech under corporate cover, something Orwell did not think of, they end corrective, rights-defending opposition, and our two-party government. It happens all over the world, just not in America.
Finally, those who doubt this is happening should examine January 2021 social media policies. They are shocking. Lofted as “civic integrity,” public forums block talk of “elections” – that ultimate “matter of public concern” for a free-thinking, trust-centered republic.
They pledge to block talk of “elections” and “civic processes” if content “may mislead people,” present “false information,” mention voter “identification or citizenship requirements,” “cause confusion about … laws, regulations, procedures, and methods of a civic process, or … actions of officials,” relate to “votes not being counted,” “claims about police or law enforcement,” “long lines, equipment problems, or other disruptions,” offer comments that “undermine public confidence,” mention “faith in the process,” “election rigging, ballot tampering, vote tallying, or certification of election results… outcome of a civic process.” So, going forward, discussing election integrity, processes, outcomes, public corruption is now blacked out.
Two cappers from Marxist Repression 101 – users are invited to inform on neighbors, and repression is justified on “ethical” grounds, saying “any attempts to undermine the integrity of our service is antithetical to …freedom of expression.” In other words, government-protected social media can suppress speech – to protect it. Sound scary? That is where we are at.
I would add our indebtedness and the whispers of the Great Reset.
Wipe the state clean and start over with a new global currency. After all, we’ve totally trashed our dollar value as the main trading currency.
Yes, many of us have talked about this and reached out to our elected officials to get back to balanced budgets, but they continue with this.
I remember reading from different sources that one of the last things of takeover by the Marxist communist Revolutionaries is to strip the treasury or the treasures of a nation. As Russia was given large amounts of our nuclear mining, China seems to have a handle over the rare earth minerals.
We were energy independent, and expanding our ‘All of the Above’ energy development. This was bringing in the fiscal resources to help the economy, decrease the indebted spending insanity, and prevent rouge countries from pinching all economies with monopoly over fuel costs. It’s no doubt the Biden administration has a bent against our fossil fuel economy. The pain that’s ahead is self-inflicted once again, and truly stupid when we have nothing to replace the loss of energy for our once growing economy.
It’s a for sure way to bring our country down, and it’s just stupid in my opinion.
What do you think?
This has been nothing but a drama movie. It beats anything I could possibly have thought our country would allow such. I sincerely want “Nancy the Queen “impeached”, gotten rid of by what ever it takes. She is the one who set up the damage that was done to cause the riots, mobs, destruction of people, places and things. She pretty much thinks she is in control, and in reality, she is. All that happened before the election was pre-planned by her wickedness and forceful ways to get her way whatever she has to do to get it. Trump is a Christian and is not one to try to hide it. He did amazing wonders with the help of the Lord he serves. It is a disgrace to us who are honest folks, minds our own business, hard workers, etc. We can not let our what use to United States be so UNDIVIDED States. It will fall apart just like where it is headed.
Regarding the 2020 election, most of us President Trump supporters feel the election was rigged and that Biden did not honestly win. There is a documentary put together by Michael J. Lindell called Absolute Proof which chronicles the extensive tampering with our 2020 election by both domestic and foreign interests. It can be accessed at michaeljlindell(dot)com for downloading. The evidence is pervasive and overwhelming. Hopefully all of this will eventually come out into public view, despite the Demsheviks trying to suppress and bury this and anything else about election fraud.
Monitoring and suppressing speech, telling citizens what to think and what to say is shocking. How should we respond and what should we do about it? The answer was vote. That does not seem to be the answer. The hypocrisy and double standard is so distressing. The problem is obvious. There does not seem to be an answer.
Very good article and right on the money. One riot in the Capital and the city is occupied with troops. Last summer when the use of troops was called for it was thought to be too harsh a response. The pandemic, which was foisted upon us by China and destroyed a President. Was the perfect excuse to end up with one party rule and that party also has support from the means of communication organizations. We are heading in the wrong direction. I fear we will be wearing masks for a very long time, how else can we be kept under the thumb of Government?
Very thoughtful perspective. Fascinating: 2016-19 – unprecedented economic growth across every
social/cultural arena N the Nation, prudent “Reaganistic Deregulation”, adherence to the Constitutional Principal of “Limited Government”, a “rascal” (Andrew Jackson, Harry Truman) as the Chief Magistrate, our “ideological” enemies held @ bay & America decides to “change horses N the middle of a race!” Very disappointing to encounter even one ??? regarding “election violations” &
such an incident draws very little legal inquiry, ie the sworn testimony of the citizens of Michigan before their own elected, fellow citizens.
Very astute article. Methinks too many Americans fail to realize the precarious road we are traveling toward bondage. At the present rate, one more generation should complete the cycle Alexander Tytler describes in his scenario of what I like to refer to as his circle of bondage. In that scenario he describes the transition from bondage to freedom and back to bondage. It happens in eight stages with apathy and dependency being the last two before going back into bondage. As I see it, we have passed through apathy and are now entering dependence. The next phase is back to bondage. I have to say that I’m thankful that I’m in my sunset years, and likely won’t still be here to experience the transition back to bondage, but methinks it’s inevitable in one more generation.
Great Article! I hope the people of this country wake up but I am afraid they won’t. The younger generation doesn’t take time to see what is happening and the leftist professors in our colleges are only allowing them to think one way. If you disagree with their opinion you will pay the price. I have seen this in my own family. When corporations are allowed to take away Freedom of Speech we are in trouble and the Democrats are allowing this to happen. I didn’t always like how President Trump reacted to things but he did what he promised to do and he brought this country back and made us safer and the Biden administration is undoing all the good that he did. The Democrats will do whatever they can to buy votes such as allowing undocumented immigrants to vote and opening the borders for more people to come in. We are turning into a Socialist Communist Country. It has always been written that a country will destroy itself from within. God help us!
First, we are no longer a Constitutional Republic. That changed in 1871. Washington DC is a 10 square mile corporation, dedicated to enslaving us. Please do the research. Second, why not try to present a solution to the problem, help to open the eyes of those who are willing to just accept this coup. Promoting fear simply hastens our demise. ‘We The People’ need to get off our backsides, do our due diligence and reclaim our country before it’s too late. Not a partisan issue. This is still the United States of America.
You nailed it. Forgot, though, the Left are self-righteous people thinking extremely highly of themselves and behave like fools. They are clay pots., easily cracked up.
Great article.
We have a problem with our AMAC emails. Italics do not show up on our emails, thus leaving GAPS in many articles. Any suggestions? ct
Also from Marxist 101, constant unrelenting attack on everything American. We see this everywhere in commercials, tv sitcoms, and movies. Even our popular novelists can’t publish a novel without several subtle jabs at American traditions. Constant criticism of American values and institutions – families and marriage, religion this is all encouraged by our Marxist universities. Unfortunately our professors fail to teach, or may not know, that Marx was a boil covered alcoholic freeloader who could not support his family, many of whom took their lives. Socialism also killed more than 140,000,000 souls in the past 100 years. This is where millions of our fellow Americans think they want to go.
Mr. Charles,
Your article is an excellent explanation of the current climate and yes, scary to think its occuring in America.
We the people must commit to changing this perilous balance in 2022.
A grass roots information campaign, by connecting person to person, and reaffirming what our Conservative and free America must be.
Communication,that strengthens our bonds to one anothter,and the freedoms we hold dear.
A united and clear vision through the misinformation and demeaning cancel culture of the socialist left democrats.
Social media platforms will be censored, because they fear exposure of their failures and unconstitutional actions.
Their goal is transforming America to a Country that clearly is NOT supported by most Citizens!
This attempt to ignore,bypass and shove anti american policies and rhetoric down Citizens throats.
They are not interested in a discussion of ideas ,and what’s best for America.
I’m praying that the uncompromising, shut up and like it approach ,may serve to embolden and fortify Conservative voices and bring a freedom response that is unanticipated.
Not too long ago America had enough ,from this same party and monumental change of Congress occured.
Time to repeat that good part of history, not this democrat attempt at worldwide failed socialism.
As with all laws which govern behavior, the “guarantees” of the Constitution are only as good as obedience to them. Litigation needs to happen for all violations of those guaranteed rights, especially, when those violations are committed by government.
I boil the above issues down to simply this.
“As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.”
― Andrew Carnegie
47 years of empty “saying” vs 4 years of promises kept “doing” and “saying” was often “lying”.
If the true Conservative Americans can’t ‘fix’ this mess, I’m afraid our Country is doomed.
…very sad.
I do so agree with #2, they hated Trump. It’s their “hatred,” not the actions of Trump himself, (however flawed or fallible) that they use to justify their cause.
#3 Foreign adversaries is one meager paragraph! Charles writes that they aren’t as big a threat as we are to ourselves, wow.
Paragraph #4 is almost prophetic: “Repression is justified on ethical grounds.” My God, What? It’s not our speech, our belief in traditional values, our behavior or even our actions that justifies their suppression, it’s their hatred that is the means that justifies their end.
Dennis Prager insists that the left is destroying America. They’re not destroying America, they’re destroying life. This is really happening people…
I agree on the most part, America is in trouble. The second point, however, I somewhat disagree with, “Danger two is how one personality – Donald Trump – dominated the cycle”. We are on the most part intelligent, moral people and know what we want in a leader, (about 77 million of us), as long as we are told the truth. I believe that Trump is a reflection of what most people wanted in a leader, someone who tell us what we want to here and then does it. Trump was not a politician and that is what made the left wing democrat’s and Deep State go so crazy. Trump would not go along so he had to go!!
The biggest problem for America is how to curtail the “Administrative State” or as we commonly call the Deep State from getting larger and totally taking over. Now the Administrative State, I feel is more powerful then Congress, Executive and Judiciary Branches combined. These are the bureaucrats that stay in office seemingly forever, unelected and have more power as a collective then any single person or entity. Case in point, when Trump ordered that all classified documents pertaining to Obama Gate to be released the Justice Department has slow walked the documents. As of today very few documents have been released. If the President can be ignored what else could they get away with?? Wake up America!! MZ
The first causalities in a totalitarian take over are–
1-Freedom of Speech.
2-Right to bear arms.
3-Freedom of information.
4-Right to assemble.
5-Rights of a child in the womb.
Because of the proven impurities in the 2020 election Joe Biden will never be accepted as the legitimate president of the Republic. There is so much information out there and more coming every day as the court cases concerning voting irregularities are decided in favor of Republicans.
The Biden Crime Family is not the title of a book. The in your face treatment of Hunter Biden by the press and the Democrats casual involvement in Joe Biden’s connections with China and Ukraine becomes more of an irritant as the Democrats race further and further to the left and jobs disappear.
I am a loyal American Citizen that is totally opposed to what the corrupt and treasonous Democrats are doing/have done to our Republic! I never thought that I would ever be in a position to say, that my government is corrupt and treasonous but, now it is! Now, every single American needs to make a choice, take a stand for our Republic or, just sacrifice the lives and futures of our children and grandchildren under Communist Rule! If you don’t think that our Republic is worth fighting for, get the hell out of the way and let real Americans do what they have to do!
I am a Christian. As such, I have read the Bible, and have often wondered 1. When does the “Rapture” come? and 2. Why is the USA “Apparently” not mentioned during the End Times, when Israel, Russia and even China, as well as the Middle East, are? As for # 1, Scripture tells US that “No man knows the hour or the Day, when Christ shall return, only the Father! Pretty straight forward, as even Jesus doesn’t know the Father’s Timetable! BUT(!), we DO know certain events set in motion when the End Times are here, and Armageddon draws close! Almost every “Sign” has occurred, the last most obvious being when President Trump moved the US Embassy to Israel from Televiv, where the rest of the world have their embassies, to Jerusalem, where it should have been since Israel recaptured that city! Add to this the fact that President Trump actually achieved “Peace” in the Middle East! That leaves the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem as the only other significant event yet to occur! Number 2 is a little more difficult, because most people want to argue, but, I think the “Whore of Babylon”, mentioned in Revelation, is the USA! After this last election, I’m sure, at least about the “Whore” part…
This country is on a collision course, and there is no stopping the crash.
First, I believe, from what I’ve seen in the news, that this 2020 election was stolen from President Trump by actions of the “SWAMP” and actions of the democratic election managers. I believe the democrats were willing to do anything, legal or illegal, to see that Trump was defeated. Thus, on election night, when votes were being tallied, episodes of Trump leading with tremendous leads, suddenly changed and Biden would be leading. I believe that one of the primary causes of the election results was the acceptance (illegal) of mail in ballots that were not accurately verified. Second, I believe that the 1/6 debacle i the capitol was NOT the result of Trump’s instigation, since it is fact that explosives and other weapons were present the day before the march. Also, plans for the “take-over” were already formed prior to the date of 1/6, which means Trump could not be the instigator. Third, I believe that if Trump is found guilty, then every member of the house needs to be impeached as well for the same reason, and charged with treason. that is being given for Trump’s impeachment., starting with Pelosi, Schiff, Hillary Clinton, Mad Maxine Waters, etc.
Someone told me something today and all I can say “BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH” but like I told him ” we shall see”,
Our Country really is in a bad place right now but I refuse to give up on it. Our Fathers, grandfathers, sisters and brothers fought to keep this land free and many lost their lives doing it. I can’t let them down and I won’t. I will do whatever I can to keep our Country free. Peacefully protest, whatever it takes. We need to fight for our freedom too and there is currently a movement forming to keep our freedom of speech intact. Speechmovement.org. We must do whatever we can. I hope that President Trump will be back in some form to help save our Country. I pray each day for our president and for our country. May God help us all.
The facts will get scarier everyday!
Democrats usually can not attack content. Therefore they attack composition. The article was informative. An Orwellian future may be ahead. Always remember what the “lefties” have done the last four years. I am hoping all the unsolicited balloting will become illegal and that ID is required. For Petes-sake, I have to present my drivers license and pass to use the YMCA pool.
Too late. Time to allow the states that believe in the constitution to go their own way. SECESSION NOW ! I checked the spelling of secession twice as I did not want to get in trouble with Mr. Harper. Retired English teacher?
Right, Will. I have agreed with Robert Charles’ viewpoint in almost all his editorials this last year. He is a great writer!
Moni, I tend to agree with you. I think BECAUSE Pres. Trump is outspoken he sparked a fire in the liberal mentality that had just been smoldering in the leaves up to then. They punched back when Pres. Trump was vocal about what they do and are doing! So we need to keep gathering the people who are still open-minded, calmly but decisively, especially young people. We need to oust the RINOs and get more Josh Hawley, Madison Cawthorn, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Nicole Malliotakis, Candace Owens, Tim Scott, Ron DeSantis, Kim Klacik-type people ELECTED/RE-ELECTED! I see so MANY on-target comments on here! We need to somehow organize!
The last sentence in the article should end with “are”. The “at” used to be improper English, but I guess that is where we are.
America is almost over. It scares me to say that, but it’s true. Look around, lawless cities, open borders, stimulus payments instead of work, zoomed out and spaced out students, people depressed and afraid to socialize, God absent from every part of government and beyond. Heck, they don’t even want to recite the Pledge of Allegiance before a meeting in Congress. I could go on and on but nothing will change until we go back to basics and flush out the progressives and socialists .
China owns us because it owns Biden’s administration. Trump was our only hope, hope is gone now. Now we must pray.
Your analysis is quite correct. God help us all !!!
My wife and I have stopped watching the TV news–ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, etc. Even PBS is biased. We’re tired of incomplete and biased emotional reporting. I also stay away from Facebook, Twitter, etc., though my wife occasionally goes to Facebook to follow close relatives.
Power must be transferred from the federal government back to the States. The federal government should only be concerned with control of the border and illegal entry, and a strong military to protect our country and keep order in the world without pushing constant wars.
Education should be relegated to the States and to the Parents. The federal government is destroying our education system and trying to rewrite history by lying to our kids about our heritage. Our nation will suffer the consequences.
I think President Trump will be seen historically as one of our most important presidents–despite the vicious lies of the Left and the damage already caused by the Chinese Communist Party surreptitiously in our country.
The main REASON they went all out after Trump ? He was going to have Hit-lery, Obama, and those Comey clowns in jail. Maybe even Soros. And as far as the globalists are concerned ? THAT would NEVER do.
A long time ago, when I was about 10 y/o, my old man told me that when it comes to the POTUS elections ? “They put whoever THEY want to put in there.” And he and his brother ( Uncle George ) HATED that dog FDR. Imagine, seizing all privately held gold so he could square up the debt. What a crock. THEN he KNEW that they were gonna’ hit Pearl. Kept it quit – collateral damage so they can get us into WWll. Study info in the Nat’l Archives and the Library of Congress. The TRUTH is there. This “empire’ is all done. And wait till MS-13 / anti-fuh kick your doors in. Thank you to all those independent voters who did not like Trump swagger. JERKS ! ! ! !
We are in the process of entering a new dark age for conservative, freedom loving, and God fearing citizens of America. In the past four years, the Democratic Party, the Main Stream Media (MSM) and big tech has demonized our way of thinking and in doing so have taken control of America. There are a number of dangerous and alarming realities that are now strongly in place. ONE: There are two separate forms of Justice, that which follows the law and the other which makes up its own rules. The latter has demonstrated time and time again that they can do what ever they like and suffer zero consequences (examples: Hilary Clinton, Government officials using their political office to enrich themselves and family members with foreign governments with no investigation, Soliciting false political smear dossers from Hostile Governments, abuse of government surveillance protocals and secret unauthorized campaign investigation, unconstitutional impeachments,National security breeches, and so on). Violation of election securities and illegal mail in vote harvesting, allowing Planned Parenthood to illegally sell body parts, abandonment of current immigration laws, suppression of free speech by social media outlets. This list is not complete but provides some significant abuses which are not checked and which violation of laws are simply overlooked. The sad thing is when we think that there are still avenues and advocates for justice such as the Durham Investigation, the report is never published and the guilty parties escape prosecution. When will the true American people have someone to rely upon to put an end to this travesty.
I for one are done with social media & mainstream news! Don’t even watch our local news.
This new administration is like watching a bad movie.
This has nothing to do with President Trump. It never did. The left has worked toward the destruction of America for decades-Trump simply spoke for The People. They hate him because they hate us. 80 million people, and growing, are well aware of that fact. Also; there WAS election fraud, and we all know that, too. The Supreme Court failed those who employ them with hoards of RINOS who are on our payroll as well.TIME TO START SAYING WHAT IT REALLY IS.
The only ‘adjustment’ that will ever be made is the total financial collapse of this nation. And I assume that it is coming soon. There is no way in hell that this loon govt. can re-pay the TRILLIONS owed.
One statistic is that if the “feds” seized all our EARNED income for the next 5 yrs. it would STILL be in the ‘red.’ Stupidity like the Nat’l Endow. of the Arts, PBS,FHA,and hundreds ( maybe THOUSANDS ) more are sucking our tax dollars into their SEWER ( not swamp ).
When all these programs are ended then there will be blood. Major cities will be the first. There you will have your 2nd civil war and the dollar ? bye-bye. It is WORTHLESS NOW.
To you ALL – be prepared to DEFEND YOUR PERIMETER.
Repeat after me: “BIDEN IS NOT MY PRESIDENT!!!” He never will be. That includes Kamala Harris as well.

“WE THE PEOPLE” are STILL the government despite what the msm and socal(ist) media says, they withhold the truth from us because THEY KNOW THEY ARE LIARS and traitors and criminals, just look at what has happened across the country for several months, B(urning)L(ooting)M(urdering) and ALL committed by socialist/dems and not one word from the leftists to stop the hate, they ABANDONED LAW ENFORCEMENT AND OPENLY ATTACKED THEM, THEY BAILED OUT THESE TERRORISTS SO THEY COULD CONTINUE WITH THIER DESTRUCTION, THEY CONTROL THE AIRWAVES AND ALL THAT “WE THE PEOPLE” HEAR FROM FAKE NEWS IS PROPAGANDA, WE DO IN FACT GREATLY OUTNUMBER THE HATERS, AND THEY FEAR THE DAY WE WAKE UP AND REALIZE THAT “WE THE PEOPLE” are still the real government and we need to exercise our RIGHTS AND POWER to take our country back, we can recall these liars individually for not protecting our CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS, RECALL, INVESTIGATE AND PUNISH AND REPLACE THEM WITH NON LAWYERS, THE BIGGEST MISTAKE THIS NATION EVER MADE WAS ALLOWING LAWYERS TO BECOME LAWMAKERS( talk about conflict of interests) lawyers have buried us in rules, laws and regulations designed to enhance THIER OWN POWER AND WEALTH, TAKE BACK OUR NATION!!!
Will, your words are spot on – and that is why, while we all breathe, we must do as you are doing, stay fully engaged. AMAC is dedicated to this effort – and the Constitution – at every turn. With knowledge comes power, with power comes the chance to defeat those who do not wish limited government, but control over the individual’s life. We can beat this! … Of course, if any one beats an egg in the next few days, I likely incited that, I guess.
When you listen to the news, you cannot help but be scared. Some did not like Donald Trump because they thought his manner was abrasive, but there is a softer side to him also and most important he got the job done and kept us safe. I cannot understand the vitriolic hate that the democrats have for him. As for his impeachment, you cannot impeach a private citizen, which he is at this time and from what office could he be removed. We need to have a housecleaning in Washinton and replace all the liberals and those who have been in office for over 10 years. We also need another J. Edgar Hoover to be in charge of the FBI. Those from the FBI which participated in the Russia scam would not have been able to do so with someone like him at the head.
I really appreciate this clear delineation of the danger we are in as a nation at this time.
PaulE gives a concise view of how we got here. “We allowed this situation to be created through decades of willful apathy by a majority of the general public. “Let someone else be worried about this, that or the other thing” as problems festered and grew. No representative republic can last when its citizens are either ill-informed or indifferent of the issues and how their government is operating. Yes, it does sound very scary indeed.”
My question is what do we do about it?
I personally concede that Stephen Russell has a possible, partial solution. But, I think we need to look deeper, broader and higher. We as individual citizens need to look within our own hearts and courageously take personal responsibility and action; to look around to see whom we can personally help, instruct, encourage or support; and to look above to get a more accurate perspective from our Creator and true Savior.
America is now and has been for many decades an oligarchy. We have not experienced true freedom in ages. When “conspiracy” theorists began talking about the US having only a puppet government they were right. With corporate donations are made to candidates and parties the biggest organizations give to both parties. This way corporations have bought access to our politicians to leverage control over legislation. Forget about the lobbyists they are small potatoes. But none of this rises to the oligarchy being created by the likes of George Soros. I won’t go on but if you care to know what is really happening in and to America search “George Soros funding”. Beware, when doing this, there is a lot of outlets out there that will minimize his influence and the damage he is doing. Due diligence is needed here.
Great article, but severely diluted for the “hyper-critical and highly educated left leaning readers” by the last word “at.”
They might say “how can we believe this stupidity when such a glaring grammatical error is made.”
Should have been simply, “That is where we are.”
(I do agree, whole-heartedly, with the article by the way and that IS where we are AT.)
Get back to the God of the Holy Scriptures, people, and He’ll show you the way out!…. personally and corporately! Repent!!
