A Choice to be Made and the Fate of America

I love the United States of America deeply.  This is not just a throw-away line of sun-shine patriotism or some saccharine statement of sentimentality.  I truly believe in the principles upon which this nation was founded.  And I have put my butt on the line by defending this nation for six years on active duty and in the first Persian Gulf war.  My father, grandfather, and uncles have similarly served honorably in the military to protect this nation.  Our actions back our sentiments.

I believe in We The People, limited and constitutionally constrained federal government, and that the powers given to our elected leaders are derived from us American citizens.  Our natural rights are given to ALL of us by God as stated in our founding document as a nation, and not by some supposedly benign government.  It is incumbent upon the executive, legislative, and judicial branches to govern according to the limited powers given them by the constitution and NOT to exceed those mandates, as anything not specifically granted the federal government in the way of powers, duties, and responsibilities is reserved to the individual states and/or the people of America.  The fact that all three branches have broken this trust is precisely why we are in the mess we are today and why we see a dangerously precipitous decline in the greatness of this nation. 

Our corrupt government though is only a sad symptom of the underlying cancer.  The problem is the malignant infection of progressivism in our schools, culture, businesses media, and even in many of our houses of worship.  It is our lack of objective and accurate education in history, economics, and civics (let alone reading, writing, and arithmetic) that has created lazy, ignorant, or even malicious citizen voters that want to elect officials to provide for them lucre from the federal treasury for which they are not entitled and for which the officials have no constitutional authority to give.

This November may very well be the defining point of whether this country that I love collapses under the weight of its $34 trillion in debt and unconstitutional laws and mandates, or whether it begins to repair the damage done by decades of various administrations and corrupt congresses of both major political parties.

That said, the race for the presidency is looking to be a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.  It is a match up that many on both the left and the right wish for a different candidate for their champion.  Many play the good soldier though and tout their party’s candidate in public while suffering from dyspepsia in private.  I will let my heart burn be known publicly.

As many of my readers know, I do not like Trump.  He is an egotistical jerk whose main purpose is to champion himself.  That said, the contrast is starkly clear between the way he governed with many of the good things Trump accomplished and that of the current senile and thoroughly corrupt head of the Biden Crime family.  Once again, I will likely end up casting my general election vote for a candidate I dislike and refuse to vote for in the primary.  The consequences are far too great if Biden were to miraculously/cursedly be re-elected.  I dare say the standing of our republic hangs in the balance of this decision and that of whom will control the House and Senate.

It amazes me how bright and articulate people, some of whom I consider friends and family, are actually touting the necessity of putting Biden and whomever pulls his strings back in the oval office.  It is readily apparent that Biden does not have the cognitive, let alone the moral ability to govern.  His senility and duplicitous character is on stage for the world to see, including our enemies, every single time Biden makes a public appearance.

His accomplishments are none.  Nothing.  Zero. Zilch.  Nada.  Every decision made seems to be in direct contradiction to what is constitutional and/or best for our nation.  At times, it almost seems as if Biden thinks Orwell’s “1984” is a how-to book.

Despite self-described “old-fashioned Americans”, Wilsonian-style progressives, Democratic Socialists, and other assorted leftists with their screeds to the contrary, they do NOT love America and its ideals of justice and liberty for all. They want to "fundamentally transform" our nation into an unrecognizable woke socialist utopia open to all of the human detritus of the world.

Yes, our country has often fallen far short of those lofty ideals, but the fact that we have always tried to reach towards them is what has kept this the strongest and greatest nation in the history of humankind.  It saddens me to think that so many misguided and miseducated Americans hate this country, whether by their words or by their actions.  Or both.

It baffles me how someone can hate a political adversary so much that they are willing to sacrifice the goodness of this nation and its tenuous future to the wiles and schemes of a corrupt, senile, self-serving and evil chief executive such as Joseph Biden.  Yes, Trump falls far short of all that I want in a president, but we have seen the many great results for our country as a whole during his first term.  We have also seen the destruction of our economy, the suffering of many Americans, the rampant disregard for the rule of law, and the dangerous emboldening of our enemies and terrorists under the Biden regime during his first and hopefully only term as president. 

I know many have hyperbolically stated that past elections will determine the final fate of our nation.  I greatly fear that come this November they may finally be right.  Four more years of Biden or whomever is controlling him behind the curtain will surely bode towards disaster for my beloved United States of America.  I only hope and pray that there are enough TRUE old-fashioned Americans out there that see these facts and similarly choose to vote for the lesser of two evils accordingly.  The nation will not survive another four years under this corrupt leftist administration.
