I am very concerned – with some justification, for the very survival of our Constitution. Every young woman, and many of generation X, have drunk the revisionist history kool-aid.
Most are convinced that “White Privilege” is real and very important, and that BLM is just a peaceful protest against the murder of George Floyd. They have no idea that the founders are both actual Communists, and have admitted so. They have no idea of the political goals of the movement, which include overthrow of the US government, and destruction of the family unit.
This is not just a fad. We have had two generations of people indoctrinated in high schools and college to believe that not only is America not exceptional, but is actually evil.
Howard Zinn’s hit-piece on the US “A People’s History of the United States” is a complete diatribe against America and against European and Western culture. People look at Zinn’s writing as “the real truth” and ignore all of the evidence that America is a good nation and overall an extremely positive force in the world.
We must win this election. Otherwise there is real danger that we will lose the 2nd Amendment. The Democratic candidate has made statements that show this is his intent. I don’t need to say more than that.
The most important thing we can do other than vote – is to do what we can to educate our youth, and try to re-enter universities and high school teaching positions to change the narrative being fed to our young.
I use my Facebook page and blog to try and convince as many friends as possible about the goodness of America, and the falsehood of the leftist narrative.
We are moving backwards in almost every area of life – not forward. The exception being technology, and of course, that crown isn’t sitting on America’s head any longer.
Possibly the most frightening thing is the recalled conversation with an old friend who died many years ago. She was a German and her family escaped just before the fall of the Reich. I asked her “how will we know when America is close?” Her answer –
“EVERYTHING will become political. Every news story you read, or hear on the radio, no matter the subject, will have a political slant.
Sermons will become political speeches as patriotism and duty to country, becomes the new religion. Music, theater and art, all political. Where you shop, the type of car you drive, the style and brands of clothes you wear, your hairstyle, even your shoes, all political.
Secondly, the rise of corruption in the judicial system and the police state. Those who are elected officials, wear a military uniform or a badge, are exempt from the laws they enforce on others, and their lives will be seen as more valuable than those of civilians, even when those civilians are also party members themselves.”
I asked her, based on what she saw of America at the time, when she expected we might reach this point. This was at the height of the cold war in the early 80’s and her answer was, “after the turn of the century but before you die.”
When I asked her what I could be doing personally to prevent that she said, “there is nothing you can do get out now.”
