There are few things more unsettling to people than feeling like they are living in a strange place, a place where they don’t recognize their surroundings, or understand the language being spoken. Given the current upside down nature of events in our country, that is what the majority of Americans are enduring right now. The current circus of horrors being led by government Democrats, large corporations, and a cacophony of self-proclaimed victims, didn’t start last month, or even last year. Americans were too busy tending their families and going to work to pay sufficient attention to the sickness that was festering around them. That allowed the rot that is government socialists to control an ever larger part of our lives.

Let’s review how a few previously understood norms have been flipped upside down. We have basically removed the death penalty from the American lexicon. Those who think it is unfair to put heinous murderers to death say we have no right to do so. While this movement to save murderers, rapists, terrorists, and pedophiles, was gaining momentum, tens of millions of innocent babies were killed in their mother’s womb. A moral society wouldn’t allow that to happen.

It took a long time for us to level the playing field for girls and women in school sports. Led by a vocal contingent of feminists and millions of fair minded Americans, Title IX was passed into law. It literally mandated that females receive the same athletic opportunities as males. Now, just 50 years later, boys are being allowed to compete on girl’s athletic teams and share dressing/shower facilities with girls. Males are increasingly taking the place of, and winning competitions in, female sports. Feminists, for the most part, have remained relatively silent.

We have replaced the Bible and prayer with lewd and licentious reading materials and drag queen performances in our elementary schools. I am completely baffled as to how teachers and administrators, many with children of their own, could allow this to happen.

Democrat run cities and states have effectively flipped the legal system on its head. In the face of an unprecedented rise in crime, they have reduced funding for law enforcement agencies. By refusing to prosecute theft of less than $900 dollars, hard working business owners are finding it more difficult to stay open. They have successfully created a scenario where the criminals are treated like victims, and victims are treated like criminals. New York City (NYC) just filed a lawsuit charging two Korean auto makers with “creating a public nuisance” because, according to NYC, their autos are too easy to steal. Apparently NYC has no issue with those who do the stealing. How do you go about reducing crime if you aren’t willing to identify the criminal? The overwhelming majority of Americans wouldn’t steal a car if it were left running with the driver door open. Those who would are scumbags who need to go to jail.

Democrats are simply trolling for votes when they appoint commissions to study reparations for black people. The idea is absurd on its face, and impossible to implement. Their plan is to force people who never owned slaves, nor did any of their ancestors, to pay enormous amounts of money to people who were never slaves, nor were many of their ancestors. There are millions of black people living in the U.S. who emigrated here since slavery was banned. Do they get a check? Do we write a check to black people whose ancestors were slave owners? Should we form commissions to consider paying reparations to the ancestors of the hundreds of thousands of white Union soldiers who died in the war that freed the slaves? Democrats have completely failed the black community for decades. This is their last, “Hail Mary”, attempt to keep black people in the Democratic camp. It is shameful.

On a similar note, Democrats want to forgive/reduce the debt of college students who apparently didn’t understand the meaning of the word “loan”. Any student incapable of understanding how a loan works, should have decided to go in a different direction after high school graduation. Democrats know that what they are attempting will not pass muster with The Supreme Court. They don’t care because they are simply pandering to college students in a pitiful effort to curry favor with gullible young people.

The U.S. Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were rooted in Judeo Christian beliefs. They relied heavily on God, country, and family. Our Founders believed deeply in self determination and personal responsibility. When deep seated social norms are ignored, even scoffed at, citizens can find themselves feeling frightened, insecure, and unsure of their future. As you can see from my examples, we have strayed from those, and many other, original tenets. The majority of Americans still adhere to these centuries old beliefs. It has only been recently that the majority has decided the socialist movement involving the above mentioned bad actors is a bridge too far. It is not possible for liberty to exist where there is no rule of law, or where people feel unsafe to leave their homes. As a country, that is where we find ourselves today. It will take a consistent and determined effort from the majority to put things right. We are witnessing the beginning of the task, but we must keep our eyes on the prize.
