Conservative Thinker




I call myself a conservative thinker, but many people don't understand what that means.  I believe in the Constitution of the United States of America.  I believe in a government that was set up to have a limited central government.  I believe in federalism.  I believe in free-market capitalism.  I believe in national sovereignty.  I believe in low taxes and allowing people to prosper and pursue happiness.  I believe in liberty and the freedom to choose your path in life.  I believe in the 2nd Ammendment.  I believe in a strong America that drills for its own oil and is energy independent. I believe in peace through strength, meaning a strong America, both economically and militarily, capable of standing up for freedom and liberty anywhere and anytime. I am a conservative thinker and those are my core guiding principles.

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...

The Abject Failure Of Nixon's China Policy

Image
On February 21st, 1972 President Richard Nixon arrived in China for a historic eight-day trip. He was taking a risky gamble. But in Nixon's mind it was a gamble worth taking. Nixon wrote: "The world cannot be safe until China changes. Thus our aim, to the extent that we can influence events, should be to induce change. The way to do this is to persuade China that it must change: that it cannot satisfy its imperial ambitions." He had three main goals. First, opening up China would give the United States more flexibility on the world scene. Second, it would provide the U.S. more leverage against the Soviet Union and get their attention. Third, he hoped it would help in resolving the Vietnam War and provide for a way to pull out and save face. Ultimately, Nixon didn't get his wish on Vietnam. China continued to provide arms, materials, and fighters to the North Vietnamese leading America to a humiliating retreat. He fared much better though on his goal of gaini...

The American Version Of Mao's Cultural Revolution

Image
  In August 1966, Mao Zedong launched the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in China to reassert ideological purity and purge what he saw was a growing embrace of bourgeois values and a diminishing revolutionary spirit. The goal was to rid the Chinese population of the "Four Olds". Those consisted of old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas. It was meant to be a cleansing, if you will, and a transforming of an old China into an ideologically pure nation worthy to continue in Mao's vision. Now, fifty-five years later, we are witnessing an American version of Mao's Cultural Revolution.  This neo-Marxist "Cultural Revolution" in America hasn't happened overnight. It has been a steady and systematic assault on God, American values, American historical icons, and our Constitution. It has accelerated over the past year and it will continue to gain momentum given that Democrats are in control.  This revolution was in its infancy during the late 1...
