The United States of America was
founded on certain cherished principles, such as the right to freedom of speech
and religion, the right to bear arms, and the right to be secure in one's
property. These unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness were enshrined in our laws. They were embedded in our societal DNA,
part and parcel of our very souls.
Far more than most, we judged
people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. Everyone
was meant to be equal before the law, innocent until proven guilty. Justice was
blind. We aspired to be a classless society, a meritocracy. We truly were
the shining city on a hill, “the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
Those days appear to be gone
forever. Stolen from us while we slept.
Let’s go through each of the
erstwhile American rights and ideals in turn, to prove the point.
Freedom of speech is rapidly
becoming a quaint notion, replaced by “hate
speech” laws, safe rooms, social media bans, and political correctness run
amok. Those that have the temerity to believe in traditional American
values are being mocked and challenged, those courageous enough to say
so are being cancelled, fired, or even physically attacked. As George Orwell
noted, “The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those
that speak it.”
Freedom of religion has been
replaced by the bizarre concept of freedom from religion. Christians, in
particular, are openly mocked, questioned, silenced, and legally forced
to act against their consciences.
The right to bear arms—i.e. protect
yourself and your family-- is under assault, and will be dramatically more so
under the incoming administration.
The right to be secure in one’s
property has been essentially abolished. If your home or business happens to
stand in the way of a “mostly peaceful” BLM/Antifa riot, it is quite likely
toast. Sorry, no recompense allowed. Moreover, confiscatory tax rates are all
the rage in blue states, and will be coming to all of us soon, courtesy of the Harris-Biden
Biden-Harris regime. You may have earned your money, but illegal aliens
are more deserving of it, no?
The right to life? Roughly 3,000
abortions are performed in the United States every day. Oddly, an unborn
child has no say as to if he or she lives or dies, but, if he or she happens to
make it out of the womb, must be allowed to determine
his or her own gender.
Liberty? The pursuit of happiness?
Yeah, right. Stay in your homes! Wear a mask! Give up your jobs and businesses
if asked! Do not attend weddings or funerals! Do as we say, not as we do!
Judging people is generally
considered passé, unless those people hold traditional values. But, in
practice, our rulers do judge people by the color of their skin, screw the
character thing.
There is no equality before the
law. Certain groups are treated entirely differently than others. The elites
pick and choose the special groups, the untouchables. The rest of us are
nothing more than sacrificial lambs. Are you a Clinton? No problem. A Trump?
Burn in hell! Soros, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Dorsey, Cuomo, Biden? Love you guys!
Got your back! And maybe your front, too, wink, wink! Progressives are
considered innocent even if proved guilty, whereas conservatives are
guilty regardless of their innocence. Justice is not blind, rather we are blind
to justice.
We are no longer a classless
society, though in many ways we have no class. Meritocracy is a thing of the
past, unless one considers monumental ignorance and hypocrisy meritorious.
The shining city on a hill is rapidly
sliding down into an abyss.
Yet, it is not evil that surprises
so much as the number of people willing to aid
and abet it.
Those on the left want to remake
the U.S. into the “land of the wee…and the home of the knave.”
Will we let them?
