I mean really fighting for it. I’m not talking about gun barrel, hand to hand combat in the streets, yet. I’m talking about sending emails, making phone calls, and marching into the offices of our elected representatives, demanding they initiate changes that ensure our freedoms. Congress is chock a block full of bloviating posers on both sides of the aisle. This is not the time for further primping and preening. Everything America has stood for, our very way of life, is under attack. It is past time that members of Congress fulfill their oaths of office and defend the Constitution.

The Left is playing us for fools! Liberals and conservatives are locked in a political life and death struggle. All the while the Leftists, who are entirely different than liberals and conservatives, continue to take no prisoners in their pursuit to destroy America. As long as the Left can keep liberals and conservatives fighting each other they have a free pass to destroy our Republic.

So lets take a minute to differentiate between Leftists and liberals. This is only my opinion but I think you will see the logic and find it informative. I think it will give people a different perspective. I pray it will help us narrow the chasm between liberals and conservatives in a way that will allow us to bury the Leftist movement before it destroys our country. There is a major difference in liberals and the Left. Liberals believe in civil liberties, under the rule of law. They are stalwarts for freedom of speech, religion, and the press. They advocate for economic freedom through the ownership of private property and a generally unfettered market economy. (Many of these positions are quite similar, if a bit nuanced, to those taken by conservatives). Leftist anarchists, like Antifa, espouse a Marxist point of view that adamantly opposes all of the above. Liberals believe in racial integration and that family is an integral building block of society. They believe deeply in supporting law enforcement. The Leftist group Black Lives Matter stated on their website that they were trained Marxists who supported getting rid of the police. They said that the nuclear family was racist and they would endeavor to get rid of it. Liberals, like conservatives, love America and want to constantly improve it. Leftists hate America and vow to destroy it. Those of us who love our country, whether liberal or conservative, must identify who the real enemy is. We must join arms to aggressively rid our government of members of the far Left. We must demand that those who riot, burn, and loot, our cities be arrested and prosecuted.

Our Founding Fathers were concerned about governmental censorship when they included freedom of speech in the first amendment to the constitution. The censorship we are witnessing today is both governmental and corporate. Students, and conservative speakers, on taxpayer funded college campuses have been virtually silenced by overzealous Leftist administrators. That is old news. That our freedom of speech is threatened by a small handful of billionaires in California is new. That a few billionaires thought they were empowered to silence the President of the United States is outrageous and dangerous! If they can silence the most powerful person in the world how hard would it be to silence us? We have since watched as numerous others have had their social media accounts frozen, or cancelled. We have seen Parler, a competitor of Twitter, put out of business by the big tech oligarchs in silicon valley. All the while Congress twiddles its’s thumbs. Because most of Congress gets funding from the big tech oligarchs they are not terribly motivated to fix this horribly frightening problem. If we want action we will have to shake these phonies awake. We must tell them we will accept no more vacillation, no more stalling.

President Trump was called a Fascist and a Nazi by various members of the far Left. But did Trump ever hint he was going to start a blacklist to keep his enemies from gainful employment in the private sector? Many people on the Left are doing just that right now. What if people fear that taking a position of service in an administration will curtail their chances of future employment? Wouldn’t that reduce the pool of talented people interested in working for the government? These candidates will have had their freedom of employment impaired. (There are too many examples of recent losses of our freedoms to mention in this blog). Put all of that together with a complicit “free press” that has tragically lost its way and you have the perfect storm for the loss of our treasured freedoms.

If you are old enough to have watched Monday Night Football during the 70s and early 80s you’ll know what I am referencing next. Near the end of a game when it appeared a team had the game in hand, Don Meredith, one of the commentators, would start singing the song: Turn out the lights, the party’s over… Well, staying with the song theme there is an old saying that goes: It ain’t over till the fat lady sings. After reading the above you might think that you can hear Dandy Don and the fat lady warming up their vocal chords. If we continue to sit on our collective asses and allow the tiny percent of Leftists/anarchists in this country to have there way we will certainly hear the singing. If we forget our political affiliations and remember that we are patriotic Americans we can silence them for another generation. (Meredith was not a very good singer anyway). We must recognize that we have way more in common with each other than we do with those who would destroy our nation. It’s time for us to stop worrying about hurting feelings. We must stand up for the values of the greatest nation on earth for our children and grandchildren. No people can be truly free if they lose their right to free speech.
