A Time For Choosing

In 1964, Ronald Reagan eloquently gave a speech entitled, "A Time For Choosing ", in which he confronted the growing tentacles of liberalism changing this country.  Listening to the speech over 50 years later, you can't help but think his words ring even truer today.  Just change his numbers and facts he cites, updated to today, and you would be hard pressed to disagree with his logic and arguments. This speech shouts to us from history and given our current presidential campaign, it is as clear cut as ever.  There has never been a more black or white choice than this year.

The stakes are very high and our constitutional republic hangs in the balance.  If you believe that the government knows what is best for you and you want a nanny state that takes care of you from cradle to grave, then Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are your choice.  They will continue to grow government and take away more and more of your freedom and liberty for the good of the downtrodden.  They will definitely appoint very liberal justices who will legislate from the bench and whittle away your 2nd Ammendment rights.  You will find the America you grew up in has been replaced by a socialist government where the elite ruling class controls your every thought and move.  You will get the government that you vote for and find out what a bleak world it is when your freedom is gone.

If you still believe in what our founding fathers fought so hard to establish over 200 years ago and believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, then Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio will be your choices.  If you want at least a chance to roll back the advances of liberalism and have a hope and a prayer of retaining some sort of freedom and liberty, then the Republican nominee will be your only option.  If you believe in capitalism and the free-market economy and know that it is still the best way to go from being poor to rich if you put in some hard work and effort, then your choice is clearly the conservative.  If you believe in the Constitution of the United States of America and believe in limited government and a society that is vibrant and able to enjoy a level of wealth and happiness, then you have only one choice.

This election is the choice between socialism and capitalism.  It is the choice between freedom and liberty or a ball and chains.  It is an election for all three branches of government and the future of our republic.  This election is our last chance to stem the tide and have any hope of reclaiming the dream that Washington and Jefferson and Adams fought for.  If we choose wisely, then we still have a chance to be a great nation once again.  If we choose wrong, then we will most certainly wind down a road that is dark and foreboding, and from which there will be no turning back.  Choose wisely my fellow Americans.  Our republic is at stake.

How The Left Uses History To Undermine A Republic

Image
By now, most people have heard the liberals comparing President Trump to Adolf Hitler. One can assume this is due to Trump's immigration reform policies, his stance on Muslims and Muslim refugees, his ongoing conflicts with the mainstream media and print journalism, and his campaign slogan of "Make America Great Again". The more interesting analysis is why they would exactly do this. There are a couple reasons one can conclude for this. One reason would be they are not well-versed in German history and have just a cursory knowledge of NAZI Germany and thus don't honestly know the facts and truth of history. A second reason may be that they do have a full-fledged knowledge of the NAZI's and are just playing fast and loose with the truth and facts in order to paint a false narrative in the minds of Americans. With the dumbing down of America over the last several years through our failing education system, it is quite plausible that just incurring this image of H

When The Thought Police Come Calling

Image
  The thought police are alive and well and coming to your house, if you are a conservative thinker that is. Twitter decided to use their iron fist after the U.S. Capitol events to begin purging conservative accounts on their social media platform. Google and Apple decided to ban Parler from their app download stores on smartphones. Yes, Big Tech wants everyone to know they are the enforcers of what constitutes legitimate thought and what is deemed hate speech. Welcome to George Orwell's "1984". He should have entitled it, "2021".  This should send chills down your spine. Some will say these are businesses and thus they are allowed to choose who is on their various platforms. It's not a free speech issue they say and it doesn't bother them at all. While Twitter and Facebook are perfectly free to purge their users under their user agreements it should be a warning of what is to come. Remember Big Tech companies control much of the internet. These platform

An Open Letter To President Obama

Image
Dear President Obama, In your commencement address you delivered on Sunday, May 15th, 2016, to the graduating class at Rutgers University, you made a statement that is quite disingenuous. You said, and I quote:  "In fact, by almost every measure, America is better and the world is better than it was 50 years ago or 30 years ago or even eight years ago." Now, I do understand that your worldview and my worldview are vastly different, but let's put that aside for the moment and just examine your statement in a fair and balanced analysis. Just the facts, Mr. President. No spin. I will begin with the Iranian Nuclear Deal that you and your administration negotiated. Just this deal alone has made America and the world much more unsafe and worse off than eight years ago.  By allowing Iran access to billions of dollars and appeasing a nation that has continually called America, "The Great Satan", you have allowed them to funnel that money into continuing their nu
