After listening to several progressive communist democrats use the celebration of our independence as an occasion to characterize America as being fundamentally racist, I began to wonder why they celebrate the day at all. 

One particularly offensive comment suggested that it was widespread knowledge in the black community that anyone who flew an American flag was likely to be racist.

Liberty and freedom are two inseparable and intertwined fundamental principles that have shaped the course of our nation, representing the core values of individuals and our country as a whole.

Americans understand liberty as being free from oppressive restrictions, where individuals possess the autonomy to exercise their rights, make choices, and pursue their goals, relatively unmolested by governmental authority. On the other hand, freedom encompasses the broader idea of living in a country that upholds individual liberties, allowing for self-expression, equal opportunities, and the absence of undue constraints by a repressive authority.

Without liberty, freedom cannot thrive…

Freedom without the foundation of liberty can devolve into anarchical chaos, the tyranny of the majority, or, even worse, the tyranny of a small but vocal minority. Both liberty and freedom are necessary to strike a balance that respects individual rights while fostering a just and effective government.

Nothing to do with identity politics, especially social status, race, and gender…

Individual liberty encompasses your inalienable rights, the rights and freedoms that every individual possesses inherently, without government grants and irrespective of external factors such as social status, race, or gender, and including freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, freedom of association, and the right to personal privacy. Individual liberty empowers people to voice their opinions, explore their identities, and engage in civil discourse without government interference, fostering creativity, innovation, and societal progress.

Not absolutes…

While liberty and freedom are essential for human growth, they are not absolutes, as they must be tempered by a sense of individual and civic responsibility and respecting the rights of others. Freedom does not grant the government a license to harm or infringe upon fellow citizens' freedoms to manage preferred political outcomes. Upholding the implied social contract of freedom requires recognizing that liberty and freedom come with the responsibility to uphold the rule of law to preserve the rights and well-being of others, promoting a harmonious coexistence in a diverse nation of 335 million individuals, many with competing interests.

What we hear from the progressive communist democrats…

It’s all about identity politics, the increasing division of Americas by creating victims by highlighting and prioritizing their genuine or imagined grievances along their shared identities, such as race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or ethnicity.

Promising to redress these grievances in return for political power. Promising entitlements or wealth distribution using policies and programs based on universal healthcare, affordable education, climate change mitigation, criminal justice reform, LGBTQ+ rights, and comprehensive immigration reform. They promise that the end result of these policies will foster a more just and inclusive society, promoting equal opportunity and reducing systemic disparities, mostly ignoring the realities of human nature where the strong dominate the weak. It's a promise the know they can't keep.

We don’t hear the truth: it’s about the mutable forces: power, money, and control.

Money, power, and control are three mutable forces that have long played significant roles in shaping progressive communist democrat behavior.

Each of the three forces carries its own dynamics and implications, and the complexity of their interplay often has far-reaching political consequences.

As we have seen with the bribery scandal engulfing the Biden crime family, which profited greatly off access and the ability to affect outcomes…

• Control: The foundational authority to govern, direct, or regulate individuals, systems, or institutions, encompassing the establishment and regulation of rules, laws, and hierarchies that guide individual, commercial, and governmental actions.

• Power: The ability to influence outcomes, make favorable decisions, and shape desired results. Power can be obtained through various means, such as wealth, position, knowledge, or charisma.

• Money: The medium of exchange that facilitates economic transactions. It represents a measure of value and serves as a tool for acquiring substantial influence over individuals, organizations, and institutions.

As we can see, any single element can be transmuted into another desired element. In Biden's case, he sold America's liberty and freedom by selling political power to the Communist Chinese for money. In the case of the Communist Chinese, it was using money to purchase political power and control over American policies.

Bottom line…

If liberty and freedom are the lifeblood of our great nation, fostering individual growth, societal development, and the pursuit of happiness, and empowering individuals to express their unique voices and contribute to the diverse fabric of our nation, why are the progressive communist democrats – and a majority of the GOP silent?

As representatives of government, could their personal interests transcend the needs of our nation and their respective constituencies?

If embracing liberty and freedom means individuals promoting the dignity and rights of fellow individuals, championing equality and justice, and creating an environment where every person has the opportunity to flourish. why are today’s progressive communist democrats attempting to consolidate and perpetuate their political power, the citizens be damned?

We are so screwed if we do not celebrate and safeguard the timeless principles of liberty and freedom, for they are the foundation upon which our free and thriving nation was built.
