There is no doubt in my mind that we are living in revolutionary times. Our core values of self-protection, capitalism, constitutional government, and free speech are under attack by radical progressives.

We are witnessing a movement that destroys the institutions of religion, community, family, and replaces them with anarchy and political excess. Erasing our history in an effort to minimize historical experience with the negative consequences of other political systems that have resulted in death, despair, and abject poverty for hundreds of millions of individuals.

All promoted by a cynical elite who are isolated and insulated from the consequences of their beliefs and actions. Engaging in the virtue-signaling of the radical chic that already benefits from wealth, power, and position.

Many of whom have done well, whether by inheritance, skill, or blind, dumb luck, and have deluded themselves into believing that they have wisdom and answers to the significant scientific, technological, and social issues of the day. Reinforced by ego-stroking courtiers. With beliefs not backed by education or direct experience, but by a belief in this or that "expert" who speaks convincingly about an unknowable phenomenon or future. An elite whose money can purchase ego-boosting media attention and the political influence to market their ideas and positions to those in power -- powerful people who can then jam specious ideas down ordinary Americans' throats.

An elite class that believes, or says they believe, that one should hold a beneficent host like America responsible and culpable for newcomers, especially illegal aliens, not immediately achieving parity with American citizens as they demand immediate equality of results, not equality of opportunity. Parity with the results of individual and family achievements built over decades, if not centuries of sacrifice and hard work.

All cobbled together by a paradigm that essentially states that if someone is not equal, they are oppressed, and ordinary Americans are, by definition, both racist and oppressors of people of color.

All exacerbated by the importation of impoverished, illiterate, diseased, or criminal individuals without regard to any benefit to the host country. And, as for the decent individuals among them, a refusal to demand assimilation, acculturation, integration, and acceptance of  American's existing and exceptional values.

Bottom line...

This brings us to the essential question of whether the American people have the will and the intestinal fortitude to hold the elites and the politicians accountable for what they have wrought.

Whether by accident or design, we have seen how easy it is for a foreign sovereign power to create, foment, and harness the internal stresses in our American system to nearly cripple our nation.

We have seen the imposition of drastic measures leading to harsh economic penalties during the COVID-19 crisis. And, it is unconscionable to impose these drastic measures and harsh penalties when the problem is grossly political and not substantiated not by actual science, but by the words of experts who may speak with assurance even though they have been wrong many times in the past.

America is at risk! We are being screwed. It is now time to say NO to the progressive socialist democrats and vote the only choice for America in these troubled times.
