The leaders of America, as a whole, are
failing to improve the lot of our country. We are witnessing what
looks like national suicide in progress, abandonment of the rule of
law, collapsing “higher education” run by gutless fools and
populated by arrogant fascists. Also, we've seen open borders,
deliberate release of vicious criminals, deliberate importing of
jihadist murderers, and more by people who seem to demand our respect
for their superior wisdom and judgment.

The main exception to this miserable
state of affairs among our so-called betters is Donald J. Trump,
whose intention is to drain the swamp these lazy louts, crooks, and
influence peddlers have created. There is scarcely an area of
American life that has not been damaged or hampered or tainted by the
political left and their unhinged war on honesty, conservatism, and
freedom. The founding principles of America are left to languish in a
sea of death, debt, dishonesty, and cronyism. People with Ivy League
credentials who claim the leadership positions very often cannot
manage their own affairs but are too willing to micromanage other
peoples' business.
The ruling class has become nearly as
bad as the mafia, complete with criminal activity. The mafia at least
is not responsible for leading and protecting the nation or setting a
moral example. They are a bad thing, but they are trying to, in some
sense, give people what they want. The Left gives some people what
they want by means of stealing from others. They probably think
they're like Robin Hood, but Robin Hood, whatever else he was, was a
thief and essentially part of the corruption.
The main goal of the elite today is to
destroy Donald Trump. This now overrides all other considerations for
the mainstream media, the liberal universities, Hollywood, the
Democratic Party, and the left in general. The anti-Trumpers are
stirring up hostility against their enemy with wartime-like
propaganda, with such a slanted negativity against the president that
a study by Harvard (!) shows it's much more negative
than anything thrown at the previous three administrations.
The enthusiasm to investigate Trump is
high, with some clamoring for impeachment. But where
was the enthusiasm to investigate when it came to investigating
the numerous scandals of Obama and Hillary? Real, demonstrated crime
was left alone, while seemingly baseless concerns about Trump are
made into a constitutional crisis. Someone Trump once associated with
had some business dealings that involved a Russian bank. Where's the
crime? Where's the evidence? Apparently, it's so well hidden that no
one can find it, so we must employ a special counsel. The same Mr.
Trump who is presented in media as an inept oaf apparently is so
clever he can concoct elaborate plots to hide his actions.
The people who are not destroying the
country, as the elites are, would be the factory workers, skilled
tradesmen, professionals, business people, and others who refuse to be
part of the elites' political, social, and moral cancer on America.
They are the ones helping to keep our nation's head above water,
while the influential go about raising the skyrocketing debt, killing
babies, and regulating us to death. Where are the national leaders
who (1) genuinely want the best for Americans, and (2) recognize and
observe moral and legal boundaries? They are not plentiful in
education, government, journalism, or entertainment.
“For everyone to whom much is given,
from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed,
of him they will ask the more.”* What we're getting from the
privileged is disdain for America and ordinary people, a massive
overdose of political lies and BS, destruction of our money and
economy, and an attachment to the idea of globalist socialist dictatorship. The
“much” they are giving is not in line with the spirit of that
quoted statement.
The warmongers are getting louder.
Russia, the leftists' formerly admired country, is now so bad that some
want to risk war. Any administration official who has spoken to any
Russians is now considered suspect. Everyone in government should
think about supporting President Trump against ISIS and dealing with
North Korea, without urging any kind of elective nation-building or
regime-change interventions.
What's most needed among the
establishment types, is the attitude of understanding and striving to
live up to real responsibilities, and recognizing that special
interests aren't so special that everyone has to love them. We don't
need to all be friends, but we need to respect our country and
appreciate its history.
What the left wants is to tear down our
history and adopt the globalists' view that the American Revolution
was a mistake, all traces of the Confederacy must be
obliterated, all religion removed from the military and all aspects
of government. Promotion and celebration of transgenderism and
homosexuality are required, but the Ten Commandments are evil itself,
and our children must be protected from them. In other words, the
elites are turning our society's system of values upside down.
For all their faults, previous
generations of American leaders have stood up for America and worked
for the betterment of American families and society, and maintained a
responsible place in the world for the United States. At great
hardship and sacrifice, which can hardly be comprehended by most of
the people living in the U.S. today, Americans have dealt with slavery,
the Depression, and two world wars and several additional conflicts and been willing to follow responsible leadership.
Those who find themselves in positions
of responsibility and authority, or want to do so some day, need to
consider the good of the nation and the American people when working
out their strategies. Is the gaining of power and wealth the main
thing? Or is genuine service to be preferred even though it may not
pay as well?
Today in America, we have the hard,
loud left, and a lunatic fringe considered far-right. But we
fortunately have the moderates, liberals, libertarians,and
conservatives of the great middle who prefer not to live in an
upside-down world. I say let's leave the upside-down to “Stranger
Things.”
*Luke 12:48b, NKJV, words of Jesus
Christ.
