The 1,000-pound gorilla threatening to send the Democrat Party into "Oblivion’’ - Patriotism

Part 2 of 4 – Patriotism

Throughout our 242-year history Americans have consistently been one of the most patriotic nations on Earth.  Regardless of which political party controlled the Congress or the Presidency, or tried to influence the Supreme Court, the people have always supported the nation and our Constitution.

Examples of this undying patriotism must include never wavering in the face of such challenges as the War of Independence, the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Great Depression, the assassination of Presidents, the 1968 Democratic Party National Convention riots, the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Schizophrenia Sixties.

The sixties, probably the most destructive, divided, depressing, disgusting, and drug-driven decade in the history of the world.  For those of you who missed the lessons of the sixties, you must thank God you did.  For those who were there but seemed to have lost the years in a fog, it is a good thing to have memory loss of the sixties.

Patriotism was the fabric that carried us through those monumental challenges.  It is the core of our existence and the spirit that propelled us, as a people, to be the sole beacon of hope in a world of fear and uncertainty.  It brought us to where we are today, the only Super Power left standing.

As stated by our forefathers:

Declaration of Independence

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”

“We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions”

“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”

Pledge of Allegiance

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

As our forefathers clearly established, truths were self-evident, all were equal, all are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  And we acknowledge a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence.

The Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights are the perpetual gifts of our forefathers born of divine inspiration when the colonists were prepared to go to war against the world super power, the British Empire.  The colonist’s commitment, to pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

In terms of the Democratic party there has been a shift over the past few decades as policy moved from the party that conquered religious liberty with the election of JFK in 1960, to the party today that has worked for years to discredit the founding references to God, the Creator, or Divine Providence, whichever God you so choose.

It began with the party leadership position to attack the credibility of God through the separation of Church and State argument.  First the Nativity Scenes were banned from public property, then the Ten Commandments removed from courtrooms and legislative chambers in court houses and all public buildings, while praying, religious photos or artwork, and the Cross were banned from public schools.

At times it seemed as if the Democratic party had morphed from “Moderate” under John Kennedy to liberal, then progressive, and finally the socialist party of today.

I wonder about a political system like socialism.  Whenever it wins over a nation, and has established the mindset that everyone is equal and everything belongs to all of us, then turns over control to an elite group of leaders who immediately exempt themselves from all laws, where are they going?

Then the socialists tear up the old constitution, take all the money, land and wealth from the rich and redistribute it to everyone.  Next the businesses owned by the former wealthy are nationalized by the state driving away the aristocrats who knew how to run a business and replacing them with the proletariat who had no clue.

By now critics of the government are silenced or killed off to prevent any erosion of control.  Remember that liberal news media as you continue in your blatant efforts to undermine the Constitutional Republic and replace it with socialism.  Do whatever it takes to provide cradle to grave goodies to the people.

Where does that leave us?

We just squandered all the wealth, confiscated then corrupted before destroying all businesses, and promised the people all sorts of very expensive goodies, i.e., jobs, wages, housing, food, safety, health care and layers upon layers of bureaucratic rules and regulations to make sure no one could ever take away all those goodies from you.

They forgot to mention their House of Cards lacked foundation so when it started to fail, they let it go bankrupt and poof, the well runs dry.  The people, left with nothing, begin to awaken to the lies, illusions, and deceptions they once embraced.  But no one and nothing is left to save them.

Attacks on God are attacks on patriotism.

So is kneeling down during the national anthem in protest while insulting the sacred nature of the Flag, an action embraced by the Democrats of today.

Our forefathers clearly recognized only one kingdom we were beholden to, the Kingdom of God.  We are the human side of God’s Kingdom, his creation on Earth.  But God is not a religion, it is a divine presence that oversees all of creation.  The Creator belongs to no one group of humans but all humans, no religion or race but all religions and races.

The Democrats seem to be at war with God and the teachings of His or Her Son, in spite of the distinction that we pledge to live under divine law and influence.  To ignore it is to also lose all honor.

Is it so easy to cast aside founding principles like being endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?  And we acknowledge a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence.

Add to the unpatriotic image of the Democrats, efforts to replace constitutional law with rules and regulations, or replace them with “administrative law” rulings from the Supreme Court.

Attacks on the Supreme Court, challenges to the laws of the Constitution including illegal immigration, universal health care, gun control, expansion of abortions even impeachment of the president for no viable cause, all put the Democrats at odds with the Constitution.

There is the rioting, protests, flag burning, screaming in congress, accosting people in public places, violating people's privacy, and an endless stream of fake news, distortions and downright nasty activities.

On most social issues the people are pretty evenly split, nearly 50-50.  Advocating one position over the other loses 50% support immediately.  People who label themselves “progressive” total just 8% of the electorate, yet the vast majority of Democratic party positions are far left progressive.

Even the liberal or moderate Democrats are caught at cross purposes from the party leadership.  Add to them the Independents who already left the two political parties because they were disgusted with platforms and tactics, and you have a foundation, well you have a House of Cards waiting for the first wind to come along and destroy it.

It seems as if the Democratic party made a conscious decision to embrace radical ideas over common sense, resistance over negotiation and compromise, attacks over hope and character assassination over helping all Americans.  Patriotism is not relevant to the party of today, but might not be forgotten by those the DNC are trying to brainwash.       

The 1,000-pound gorilla threatening to send the Democrat Party into "Oblivion’’ - Party Loyalty

Part 1 of 4 – Party Loyalty

A gorilla, even a mighty one, still has four legs to stand on so what are the four legs of the Democrat party?  Well in this late stage of evolution with the party approaching life support the legs are Abortion, the African American dependency, the Hispanic delusion, and Middle American alienation.

In each of these important areas the principles interwoven into the Democrat Party fabric regarding the subjects is archaic, radical, grossly misguided, and highly reactionary.  First, the party has fallen victim to the classic position that people are, by and large, stupid when it comes to politics.  As a result, certain assumptions are made by the party.

So, the assumptions are already off the tracks in three distinct areas, and off the cliff in a fourth area.

1. Party loyalty
2. Patriotism
3. Persecuted
4. Persuadable

Party Loyalty

Party leaders seem to have the notion that members of the Democrat party have no mind of their own, no thirst for truth, and no ability to act independently.  Good Democrats must put aside their own notions and act in the best interest of the party, as articulated by said leadership.

When the party adopts a position, people are required to blindly follow the path prescribed no matter what the impact may be on the individuals.  Woe is the Democrat who violates such a decree.  Now there might have been a time when political leaders held such a position or power, but the level of insight demonstrated recently suggests that time has long passed.

Such an attitude leads one to believe the people are not capable of thinking for themselves nor looking out for their own interests, they need the party.  If that were truly the case, then why was it the Republican party under Abraham Lincoln destroyed slavery and not the Democrats at the time?

Yet today, the Democratic party assumes if you are African American or Hispanic, you are a Democrat, therefore you must think and act like a Democrat.  The party platform embraces a sense you are being denied everything you deserve, you are the perpetual victim, you are the victim of White supremacy, and you must hate the opposition out to destroy you.

Where I come from out in the American heartland, we have a saying for such arrogance and deception, Hogwash!

America is the land of liberty, freedom, and equal opportunity for all.  There is nothing in the Constitution that says any race, gender, wealth, or political party member is treated any different, we all share the same rights.

We honor individual rights, we respect an individual’s race, religion, and everything else as long as the same respect is given in return.  We cherish the promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as delineated in our Constitution, and for 242 years we have defended those rights for all to the point of sacrificing lives so that others may enjoy freedom and equality.

Such freedom does not allow you to be stereotyped, to be taken for granted, to forfeit your right to think, and to vote for whomever you are told.  No one and no party can impose such anti-Constitutional restraints on any other people.  There is no room in America for machine-made, pattern-stamped, assembly-line minds.

We are all individual creations of the same God, sons and daughters all, and so our forefathers wisely directed our nation to honor God and all the Divine teachings of God.  “One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all!”

It is ridiculous for the Democratic leaders to think all people within a demographic group think, act, or are the same.   It is an insult to all Americans.  There are liberal, middle of the road, and conservative Black, female, or Latino Americans in the Democratic and Republican parties, just as there are within the White community.  That is what freedom gives us.

Ironically, the political parties, both Democrats and Republicans, are not even mentioned in our Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights.  Neither are the rich, Wall Streeters, or any other class or classification of citizens.  We are all equal.

In spite of the tremendous odds during our formation and evolutionary period to get to this point, all races, in fact all legal immigrants, are protected by our laws.  Bias is not easy to overcome.  It was not the colonists that settled America who brought slaves to America, it was the Dutch, French and English who were fighting over which country could claim ownership of the new territory.

Americans realized the imperfections of the European countries and in 1776 declared independence and set in motion a mechanism to fix the problems.  Some were incredibly embedded in our way of life and it took a Civil War to bring justice in abolishing slavery.

It would be fifty-five more years (1920) before women were given the right to vote.  Still there was a lingering bias so more than forty years later (1964) the Voting Rights and Civil Rights Acts were approved again reinforcing the intent of the original founding fathers.

As for females, the largest female voting block in history was Barack Obama’s 2012 election when he got 56% of the women’s vote.  In 2016, with women’s groups dominating the political landscape and Hillary Clinton the favored and first woman on the ballot, she fell behind Obama’s total.  Here is what The New York Times said about the gender split in 2016.

“Fifty-four percent of Mrs. Clinton’s voters were women, and 42 percent of Mr. Trump’s, an overall change of only one percentage point in Mrs. Clinton’s favor compared with 2012. Forty-one percent of her voters and 53 percent of Mr. Trump’s were men, an overall change of five percentage points in his favor.”

Seriously, when a female candidate only gets 54% of all women voting, especially when she was running against Trump, that is hardly an overwhelming endorsement of the women’s movement behind Hillary, or the concept of all women voting as a block.

Since the 2016 election the many Democrats in Hollywood and the news media getting accused of sexual improprieties and worse has resulted in the MeToo movement, but it remains to be seen if they can avoid being identified as a liberal fringe group   Their political endorsements and actions in protests will confirm their true intent.
