Of Marxists And Morons

 

Most of us have heard the horrific figures: Communism/Marxism was responsible for more than 100 million deaths in the 20th century alone.

There are two preconditions necessary for people to accept or even welcome Communism: one, frustration with current economic and/or political conditions, and two, a moral decay that generates a disdain for work and an excessive entitlement mentality that demonizes others’ success, accomplishments, and wealth. For far too many, this demonization of what others have leads not unto desire to make the right decisions and work hard enough to earn it yourself, but unto envy, greed, wrath and sloth, four of the Seven Deadly Sins. And a demand that much of what others’ have be confiscated and handed over to one’s self and one’s demographic group…without one having to work for it. This, as history clearly shows, is an automatic death sentence for a society. Every time. In every case. Whether it be the erstwhile Soviet Union, its satellite in Cuba, Pol Pot’s Cambodia, or, more recently, previously wealthy Venezuela.

It could not possibly be otherwise. If I work hard, say, for 60-hour weeks, and I and my family are not going to be very appreciably better off than someone who is unemployed and able to sit on his couch all day because of my tax money, it would literally be immoral, as well as against human nature, for me to continue to do so. Why? Because I would not only be allowing the excessive and arbitrary taxation of my earned labor, while robbing myself of precious time with my family, but quite possibly, in the long term, degrading my health. And subjecting myself to various opportunity costs/losses.

Margaret Thatcher famously said, “The problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” That in itself is spot-on, but there is far more to it than that.

Ayn Rand: “There is no difference between Communism and Socialism, except in the same ultimate end: Communism proposes to enslave men by force, Socialism by the vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.”

When people address this issue, they almost always start by saying, “Capitalism with all its faults…” I am not willing to do that. This is life. This is Earth, not heaven. In this sense, Capitalism doesn’t have any faults. True Capitalism does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, sex…or anything else. The supply and demand curve determines what price any given product can bear. Charging less than that is not altruistic, but stupid and fraught with possible bias. Nothing can be truly worth other than what people will pay for it. That is why art is so subjective. One person looks at a painting and thinks, “I’d pay anything for that masterpiece,” another says to herself, “You couldn’t pay me to take this ridiculous piece of crap home.”

In command (Communist/Marxist/Socialist) economies, one or a very few people determine what the cost of any given item “should be.” Since there is no market feedback, their biases come into play. Lots of them. Shockingly, these biases always lead to a handful of leaders living well, and everyone else being paupers and puppets.

It is anything but a coincidence, a fluke, that the United States quickly became the largest and most innovative economy on planet Earth. Entrepreneurship explodes when people are potentially rewarded for their effort, creativity, and dogged determination. All ships do rise with the tide. The “poor” in America are still better off than all but the rich of many nations today. But supporters of Communism would rather everyone be less well off but closer in income than everyone being far better off with a greater income disparity. There is a word for that. It’s called evil.

Capitalism pulled countless millions—perhaps even billions—out of poverty in recent decades. Even China, Laos, and Vietnam were forced to go to market economies, despite their Communistic social policies.

Younger members of today’s Democrat Party-- or should I say, the Democrat-Socialist Party—have recently and rather suddenly embraced the “teachings” of Karl Marx’s “The Communist Manifesto” and “Das Kapital.”

That kind of ignorance and immorality does not just show up organically. It has to be very carefully inculcated. And that is what our colleges and universities are for.

The U.S., under JFK and Ronald Reagan, ultimately won the Cold War, essentially without firing a shot. Now it appears a Cold Civil War may be looming at some point in the future. One that, sadly, would have to be fought and won if this nation were to survive. Because, as Churchill said, “It is better to perish than live as slaves.” And make no mistake, if you are living under Communism, you are a slave…to the state.

Muslims, Marxists, And Mayhem

 

Many have been asking lately if the onslaught of Islam or the rapid rise of Marxism is more likely to destroy the United States. The correct answer is that they both have the capability to do so. If unchecked, together they will undoubtedly see to our demise. Which one would ultimately prevail has been the subject of a few articles of late and will be the subject of one of mine in the not-too-distant future. This one, however, will focus on Muslims and Islam. I will attempt to address the advance of the Democratic-Socialists of America/Marxism/Communism in the coming days, as well.

First off, it should not need to be said (yet again) that Islam and Sharia Law are utterly, irretrievably incompatible with a free Democratic republic, let alone a country founded on Christian principles and the Judeo-Christian work ethic. Islam demands the subjugation of all non-Muslims, or “infidels.” Virtually all the nations of the Middle East and part of Asia that are now Muslim were once Christian. There is a reason for that. And it is not peaceful, logical, rational persuasion. The simple, inarguable historical fact is that, whenever Muslim populations swell in a given country, that country is almost certainly fated to be ruled by the dictates of the Quran. This is a virtual certainty unless “good” Christians (and others) find it in themselves to fight back. (And, at some point, one has to ask how “good, decent and moral” is a person who lets his family, neighbors, and nation be usurped by those who are okay with child rape and who worship violence and death.)

And then there is the staggering fraud. It appears that much of the money local, state, and federal governments extract from hard-working taxpayers is subsequently stolen, much of it by Somali fraudsters. This is over and above the mind-blowing amounts of free stuff bestowed on illegal aliens, many of whom are Muslim. Contemptible asshats like Governors Gavin “Slick” Newsom and “Tampon” Timmy Walz pretend to disapprove of this unprecedented and illegal transfer of wealth from citizens to “undocumented immigrants,” even as they foster and cover for it. And they are both still in office. Sad and incredible.

So New York City Mayor Mamdani‘s wife flies off to an Islamic retreat on the island of Mallorca on July 3^rd, the day before America’s 250^th birthday celebration, and one of his top officials made plans to meet with Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations without informing anyone, a meeting called off after the State Department got wind of it.

The People’s Republic of Minnesota sports the highest Somali population in the nation, one buttressed by scams of almost unimaginable magnitude. From the Feeding Our Future scam to countless childless daycares to sham trucking companies, autism centers, and home health care firms, this state sports more than one town nicknamed “Little Mogadishu.” One of those cities, St. Cloud, hosted a Somalia Independence Day celebration on July 3^rd, during which a U.S. flag was flown upside-down on a city flagpole. Event organizers outlandishly claimed that it was an accident, unintentional, a mistake. Sure, not one of the event organizers, 500+ attendees, local politicians, or members of organizations such as the AFL-CIO and the absurdly named Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL), who had booths at the festive extravaganza, noticed the “error?” The folks who slowly ran Old Glory up the pole never noticed that it was inverted? Right. And Dr. Fauci was entirely unaware of the gain-of function research at the Wuhan Lab.

Speaking of New Somalia Minnesota, which has already changed its flag, apparently to honor its countless Somali Muslim “refugees,” an increasing number of kids in ever-growing Somali youth gangs are expressing their appreciation for all the state has done to welcome and care for them by shooting some of its residents.

Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher said that there have been more than 100 Somali gang-related shootings in just the past two years. Predictably, this fact prompted far-left Democratic Minneapolis City Council vice president Jamal Osman to state: “Somali youth deserve investment, dignity, opportunity, and respect—not public officials using their platform to stereotype them.” Shockingly, Osman himself is a Somali immigrant. I mean, so they shot a few people. They’re just rambunctious kids. Cut them some slack! Right?

If the stupefying immigrant fraud and attendant violence isn’t reined in by “authorities,” fewer and fewer people will keep playing by the rules. Understandably. Societal collapse will shortly ensue.

 

 

Joy Behar Argues That Democrats Should Run A White Man If They Want To Take Back The White House (Blogger Exclusive)

 

On a recent episode of “The View,” Joy Behar reluctantly argued that Democrats need to run a white man in 2028 if they want to win back the White House. Um, Joy, Democrats have tried that already with the likes of Pete Buttigieg, Michael Bennet, Bill de Blasio, John Hickenlooper, Joe Inslee, Beto O’Rourke, Eric Swalwell. And that was just in 2020.

Nonetheless, Behar soldiered on, stating: “But I’ve been watching this country for a long time. And you’ve got to be in reality.” This prompted Ana Navarro to say, “I hate it when I hear you say that it’s gotta be like a white man, ‘cause I then feel that it becomes like a self-fulfilling prophecy. And I don’t want that.”

Um, girls, were you around in 2008-2016, when Barack Hussein Obama was president? For eight consecutive years, as he was re- elected despite his racial animus and threat/promise to “fundamentally transform America?” And despite his wife’s assertion that the first time she was ever proud of the country was when it elected her husband?

The gals on The View are preternaturally ignorant…and just plain stupid, too. Anyone who listens to them is immediately dumber for doing so.

Between Iran And A Hard Place

 

There is something going on, a dynamic in place, that I've not seen remarked upon previously: Iran does not need to play the tough guy and refuse to make concessions to the U.S. because it will never abide by them, anyway. There is no agreement or “Memorandum of Understanding” that it will not thumb its nose at, no vow it will not break. Therefore, the only reason they are doing so is to make President Trump look weak and foolish and embarrass America. And we are allowing them to do this, which makes us look weaker and more foolish. Day after day, week after week—and now month after month—we are allowing them to play this game…as Iran’s leaders, such as they may be, sneer and laugh.

As I have previously written, all Iran and its crazy mullahs and IRGC thugocracy have to do to claim victory is survive. President Trump, the master of “The Art of the Deal,” is used to negotiating with people who are sane and have vested interests in seeking a win-win solution/agreement, so he may have come late to an acknowledgement of Iran’s utter and complete perfidy.

And yet others, too, still appear credulous. “Sure, Iran’s leaders may give 74 lashes to girls who appear in public with their head exposed, throw gays of rooftops, and slaughter thousands of their own citizens for protesting, but do you really think they’d mislead us or lie about an agreement or “Memorandum of Understanding?”

I am not alt-right, I am not woke right. I am MAGA all the way, through-and-through. Proudly. But Trump will have to pull the proverbial rabbit out of the proverbial hat to save face as regards Iran at this point.

Much as I admire him, Trump does not readily admit to mistakes. Let’s hope and pray that he can rectify this one.

Iran, Gun Control, And The Future Of The U.S.

 

Make no mistake, the tragedy that is unfolding in Iran today was predicated on the new Islamic regime disarming the people in the 1980s. Prior to 1979, most Iranians were Western in apparel, appearance, and outlook. Then the mullahs took over and took away the citizens’ right to own firearms (though the unalienable right-- granted by our Creator-- to defend oneself can never truly be repealed or cancelled…it can only be ceded, relinquished.) Now the women are in burkas and only the IRGC gas guns. It can—and does—happen that quickly.

Much the same thing has happened in England in recent years, and people are now getting arrested for tweets and memes. Other nations, such as Canada, are imposing ever stricter “gun control” laws. The Left in the United States is desperate to disarm Americans, and, as more and more of them get elected, they will do so…if we let them.

The most sinister aspect of the push for gun control is the fact, unreported by the mainstream media, that Democrats and other Leftists deliberately create the conditions that push people to commit crimes and acts of violence. They foment envy, divisiveness and hate. They sow confusion and obfuscate truth. In so doing, they push for gender insanity and foster and nurture mental illness.

Their policies deliberately grow poverty and dependence, the very things leftists seize upon to capture disaffected, ignorant, and indoctrinated voters. They know their rhetoric is incendiary. And they have no intention of ever making things better for anyone but themselves, as they utilize the very problems they create to convince people that they are sorely needed…to address those problems. And then they purport to mourn the tragic shootings their policies have wrought. This is despicable. This is depraved. This is sheer, unadulterated evil.

The Democrat party has morphed into the Democratic-Socialist Party, but it has kept—if not augmented—its propensity for enslaving people.

Any person, group, or government entity that purports to want to take away your Second Amendment rights for the “safety” of others is lying, no matter the type or quantity of firearms one might own. They are not doing it for “gun control.” That is a myth. They do this because they want to control you and I.

Don’t let them take your guns. Don’t let them take away your right to protect yourselves and your loved ones. Because that is simply a ruse to take away your freedom. It isn’t gun control they want. It is human control. They want to be able to control you. They want the unchallenged power to determine the future, and want to make sure you aren’t in the way.

If we give up our guns, we may soon find ourselves residing in a Marxist state, our wives in burkas, and ourselves in prison.

 

Trump Now Coming To Terms With The Memo Of Misunderstanding?

 

As I wrote in a June 20^th article posted right here on this illustrious site, the Memo of Understanding (MOU) President Trump agreed to with what remains of Iran’s leaders was a recipe for disaster. There was—and is-- no way Iran was/is going to abide by any agreement. The leaders had—and have—only two goals: to survive, and to embarrass Trump and the U.S.

I wrote:

“Trump could’ve called victory and gone home after the U.S. military knocked the hell out of the Iranians in the first few weeks, further degrading its nuclear program. Or he could’ve kept on blasting them to smithereens until the job was finished. And it could have been. Instead, panicked by the upcoming mid-term elections and the high price of oil/gasoline, he chose the third way. Which is no way at all.”

I called the agreement “unconditional surrender,” and “unilateral capitulation,” and predicted: “What’s left of the mullahs and the IRGC will do whatever it wants, including executing any citizens known to have been sympathetic to the Americans. That unspoken guarantee is the only one they will uphold. Understand that.”

But now, in a bizarre irony, Iran’s leaders, whoever they may be, have thrown Trump and the U.S. a lifeline to recapture their dignity. By ignoring the MOU and continuing to attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz and neighboring states, no matter the threats from Trump, they have permitted the president to finally declare: "It's just a waste of time dealing with them. They're scum.”

There are those that believe this was Trump’s plan all along, that he knew Iran would behave this way and he would then be vindicated in his former and future actions. I wish I could believe that.

In any case, at this point, President Trump should simply say that negotiating with the effing asshats-- the ignorant savages currently in control of Iran-- is a ridiculous and impossible endeavor for a rational person or nation to engage in. And that therefore we’re going to deal with them in the only manner they recognize and respect, the only way that could produce an end result: bomb them back into the Stone Age. But even that is problematic because those (nominally) in control in Iran are already there.

Still, tragically, it appears the only potentially viable option is to bomb the living crap out of them until the stupid bleeping mullahs, the subhumans in the IRGC, and the rest of the thugocracy are no more.

Trump should clearly and publicly state that “This is our last negotiating position and there won’t be another one. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

That would be the art of this deal.  

California Gov. Gavin Newsom Trying To Make It A Crime To Foster Election Integrity

 

California’s radical Democrat Governor Gavin “Slick” Newsom is moving forward with legislation to make it a felony for anyone-- or any entity-- seeking to ensure election integrity to inspect ballots before they’ve been “certified” (wink, wink) by his personally chosen state and county officials. In fact, the newly minted tough guy, clearly afflicted by Trump Envy Syndrome (TES), is threatening potential election integrity seekers with prosecution under state law. This is of a piece with the state’s “Stop Nick Shirley Act,” a bill that seeks to make it illegal to investigate rampant fraud in the erstwhile Golden State.

Gruesome Newsom characterized any such election integrity measures as election interference in a recent preposterous video statement posted on ‘X’:

“Let me speak directly to anyone considering helping President Trump interfere with our election or our count: If you violate California’s laws, if you interfere with our voters, tamper with our ballots, or meddle in our election, you will be prosecuted. It doesn’t matter who gave the order. That’s why I’m moving forward with new legislation that would make it a felony to seize ballots before the vote has been certified by state and county officials. We will be the wall he cannot get past because we believe that, once an election is decided, the winner governs for everyone. That’s the architecture of American liberty. Donald Trump—he doesn’t believe in that architecture.”

The greasy governor has no problem violating federal law, with his sanctuary cities and anti-ICE agenda. And how ‘bout making it a felony to “harvest” ballots, bribe and coerce folks to vote, and engage in repeated and mysterious late night ballot dumps?

As for the Dime Store Despot’s purported belief that, after an election is certified, the winner “governs for everyone?” Many in his party and of his political ilk-- as well as numerous Hollywood stars and starlets residing in his state—repeatedly exclaim that Trump “Isn’t my president,” “Resistance is patriotic,” and that they cannot accept Trump as “their” president and therefore must leave the United States. (Tragically, not enough of them follow through on the latter vow.)

California has one of the highest tax rates in the nation…and by far the largest population of homeless people. It dawns on me that Newsom would make a good pimp. He uses and abuses others for his own benefit with absolutely no compunction.

Even a French Laundry couldn’t remove the stains on his character.

 

 

The View's Sunny Hostin Says American Flags Make Her Feel 'Unsafe'

 

The View’s preternaturally ignorant and repulsive Sunny Hostin recently stated: "There are times when I walk into a community and I see American flags all over the community and I suddenly feel unsafe because there's a section of this country that has coopted the American flag and they equate being an American or an American flag with white supremacy and that should never be the symbol of white supremacy, but they have weaponized [it].”

No, Sunny, you have equated the American flag with white supremacy, and you have weaponized it to fit your false narrative. You have attempted to demean it, cheapen it, demonize it…and everyone who fought and died for it. All for cheap praise from morons and Marxists.

I’m guessing Sunny would feel far less safe if she were surrounded by a plethora of North Korean flags, Iranian flags, Russian flags, or perhaps even Antifa flags. If not, she’s even dumber than she appears, which would be truly miraculous.

I feel a bit uneasy, a tad concerned, when I am amongst a bunch of Palestinian flags, as I was at my daughter’s college graduation. Nor do I feel comfortable when mobs of misfits are waving the LGBTQ Flag or Trans Flag in my face. The Satanic Flag/Baphomet Church of Satan Flag gives me the creeps. Any Communist flag makes me sick to my stomach. Conversely, when I am surrounded by Old Glory, I get a sense of place, belonging, and peace. I know that the folks flying them likely recognize and appreciate freedom, history, sacrifice, and the unalienable rights granted to us by our Creator. How could any flag make one feel better than that?

So, “Sunny,” how do you think the American Flag made slaves feel during the Civil War? Guessing the Union banner gave them hope and courage. (Say, didn’t one or more of Sunny’s ancestors own and trade slaves?)

The American Flag has given more hope to more people around the world than any other. That is inarguable. It has made more people feel “safe” and protected than any other. Perhaps if Sunny had been in France when American and allied troops liberated it, she would have known this. Maybe if she had been in Ohrdruf, Dachau, or Buchenwald when American troops liberated those still alive in these Nazi concentration camps, she would feel a bit differently.

The stupefying ignorance of the chattering class is almost impossible to comprehend. It is akin to trying to rationally process the size of the universe. Worse yet, this ignorance is now paired with sheer, unadulterated evil. Those who hate America, Capitalism, entrepreneurship, excellence, decency, the Judeo-Christian work ethic, Christianity, the Founders, limited government, the rule of law, and the concept of unalienable rights granted by our Creator-- among other aspects of a successfully functioning democratic republic—actually despise “democracy,” liberty, tolerance, inclusion, and empathy. Conversely, they worship themselves, and their own hatred of success and competence. And their desire to destroy all that has come before them. In their unique and misplaced attempt to trash history and elevate themselves to deity status, they reveal themselves to be some of the most contemptible and pathetic folks ever to trod the earth.

The Mainstream Media Finally Tries To Cover The Somali Fraud Scandals? (SATIRE- BLOGGER EXCLUSIVE)

*In honor of the totally not made up and legitimate Juneteenth holiday:*

 

MS NOW Anchor: “We’re getting word now of something happening in Minnesota. It apparently involves--- NEVER MIND, that was a false report! On to the burgeoning scandals at the White House. President Trump slandered yet another reporter today, calling her “dumb” after she asked him why he was hell-bent on tearing down the East side of the White House. We go now to reporter Jane Uignorantslut who is on the grounds of the White House. Jane, thank you for your vital work, your dedication and sacrifice…what can you tell us about Trump’s manic desire to destroy history…and The Peoples’ House itself?”

Jane U: “Well, Pat, President Trump seems to delight in attacking both people and places. This assault seems to me particularly grievous and gratuitous, especially as it demolishes part of history, all for a ballroom for the elite. Let them eat cake, I guess.”

MS NOW Anchor: “Jane, we are actually getting a caller on the line now. Please hold on one moment. Go ahead caller. Ask your question about Trump’s mauling of the White House.”

Caller: “Well, actually, I’d like to talk about the staggering Somali fraud in Minnesota. I live in the state and can tell you from firsthand experience that---"

MS NOW Anchors (both of whom immediately cover their ears and start chanting): “The farmer in the dell, the farmer in the dell, hi-ho the derry-o, the farmer in the dell…” over and over and over again until the caller gives up and hangs up.

MS NOW Anchor: “Far-right Republican roustabout Nick Shirley is in California tonight, supposedly exposing the ‘fraud and corruption’ in which he baselessly claims some Somalis and other immigrants have been engaging. The state’s elected officials have heroically responded by putting forth a bill that would criminalize politically-based muckraking of the sort that Shirley has engaged in.”

Other MS NOW Anchor: “Serves him right. California has, in fact, just passed the aptly named ‘Nick Shirley Act’ which effectively criminalizes investigative reporting if it is in any way aimed at the government. I simply can’t overemphasize how important this is to preserving our democracy and enhancing our First Amendment rights and protections.”

Other Other MS NOW Anchor (original anchor): “So true, Bob. We are all Somali tonight, are we not?! In other news, a 26-year-old Muslim Pakistani immigrant allegedly molested a—squirrel!-- sorry, there was an error in our system leading to an incorrect description of both the perpetrator and the alleged crime. What we should have stated is that a far-right Trump supporter and Christian apologist robbed a midtown bank earlier today, all the while shouting “USA! USA!” and “Trump is my Lord and Savior!”

Other MS NOW Anchor (Pat): “I must say, that checks out, Bob. It is just what one would expect a far-right ideologue and Nazi acolyte to say. Gives me the chills. Hail, Satan!”

Bob: “It appears that a fire has just broken out at a Catholic church in Dearborn, Michigan. Authorities apparently suspect…”

Pat: “Well anyway, we now go to reporter Chester E. Dogooder who is downtown at a topless nightclub called ‘Golden Globes.’ Chester?”

Chester E. Dogooder: “Pat…Bob…I am here at Golden Globes, and I must tell you I am aghast—absolutely aghast—at the shameless display of boobies, as well as the throbbing music and not infrequent incidences of ‘dirty dancing,’ if you will. It is now well after 10 PM Eastern Standard Time and I have been here for six hours now. This kind of display, this kind of establishment, would not be tolerated in the Muslim world. Neither the bare flesh, the music, the drinking, nor the happy and amused banter and broad smiles that so permeate this place. Tonight, I’m here to report on the--”

A dancer named “Mercedes” approaches Chester: “Hi, I’m Mercedes, what’s your name, lover?”

Chester E. Dogooder: “I, um, ah, am Lester darlin’—I mean Chester, ha, ha, ha!”

Mercedes: “Well…Chester…would you like a lap dance?”

Chester: “I, um, ah, oh boy…yes, ma’am! Please!”

Pat: “Anyway, Chester, thanks for that, um, report.” (Turns to Bob and says, “I think we’ve lost Chester.”)

Bob: “Authorities now say that a so-called ‘undocumented migrant’ has been involved with an ‘incident’ involving three goats, a cat, and—"

Pat: “Any old hoo, as always, we bring you expanded weather, sports, and entertainment coverage tonight, in an ever-increasing attempt to deliver what matters most to you! This is MS NOW: All the news on which we care to report. Good night and Allahu Akhbar.”

 

Lessons Unlearned (A Fourth Of July Plea For A Rebirth Of Freedom And Sanity)

 

Exactly ten years ago today, July 4^th 2026, I wrote and posted my take on what six former presidents might wish to say to us on that date. I feel those sentiments would be even more pertinent—and urgent—now, as many of us celebrate the 250^th birthday of the United States.

The country was founded on courage-- sheer, almost preposterous-- courage. The country is being lost through cowardice, indoctrinated ignorance, sloth, entitlement, and sheer evil. The stupidity of open borders, so-called “birthright” citizenship, and generalized amnesty has led to rapid, massive, and disruptive demographic change. And, as Mark Steyn was wont to say, demography is destiny. Period. It should come as no surprise that Jews are being harassed and attacked, and that anti-Christian as well as anti-Jewish violence has skyrocketed in the West. It is no wonder that these new Marxist and Muslim Jacobins hate the United States, its founding, capitalism, Christianity, and its (formerly?) close relations with Israel, God’s chosen people.

The simultaneous growth in the Muslim population and the belief in Socialism-Marxism-Communism is a truly existential threat to the continued existence of the United States of America in specific…and the West in general. Open borders are a recipe for chaos and disaster. And, it turns out, colleges and universities across the fruited plane are naught but domestic “sleeper cells” poisoning the minds of our youth by feeding them inanities and untruths-- and instructing them to hate their own country.

America was founded by those with no navy or formal military taking on the world’s pre-eminent naval and military power…because they believed it was better to perish than yield one’s liberty. And yet here we are today, meekly allowing ourselves to be written out of our own story. There can be only one destination at the end of the road on which we are traveling. Tyrannies, whether Fascism, Communism, Marxism—or any other—cannot allow the belief in God or higher power, because they will not allow the competition. Nothing can be bigger, better, or greater than The State. Their state, not yours, despite their promises. And remember, the bigger the state, the smaller must be the people.

As the six former presidents would say, we better relearn their critical lessons on life and government, and fast, or there will not be a Tricentennial, at least for a country the founders would recognize.

We all know the sun sets in the west. But if strong action isn't taken now, the sun will set on the West. And hope will disappear with it.

Happy Fourth of July! But this year, in addition to enjoying our barbecues and our beer, we need to think, truly and deeply think, about what we can do to make future Fourth of July's better…rather than unrecognizable or unobserved.
