In our rapidly changing and ever challenging world, it seems especially crucial to be responsibly mindful of:
(1.) Venezuela, not so far south of the good old USA and once the richest nation in Latin America, with oil wealth and a growing middle class, destroyed itself in one generation! Yes, one generation of socialism later and . . . eight million people had fled, hospitals had no medicine, hyperinflation was rampant, and extreme food shortages had prompted the eating of stray dogs and zoo animals, etc. And it didn’t happen by accident, but rather by choice. As every step towards lost liberty was sold as fairness, equality, free-stuff-for-all, etc. . . . until the power of the people to reverse course was gone!
(2.) In the world of definitions, an “Epitome” is often considered to be “a perfect example of something”; and “Lunacy” likewise generally entailing “insanity, mental disorder, or otherwise extremely foolish, eccentric, or irrational behavior.”
And in terms of an “example” . . . of “An Epitome of Self-Destructive Lunacy” . . . existence and support of the Radical-Left’s so-called “Democratic Socialism” movement and otherwise Communist-infested agenda in our ever-so-precious USA readily come to mind!
Yes, especially considering historical facts-of-life, such as: (1.) Socialism is a steppingstone to Communism; and (2.) an estimated 100 million deaths are attributable to 20th-century communist regimes, such as the Soviet Union, China, Cambodia, North Korea, etc., from executions, famines, forced labor, and other repressive policies, etc. As well as the also historical fact that countless suffering human beings to this day struggle to escape such communist regimes for a chance of legal (or if necessary, illegal) entry into our ever-so-precious individual liberty sustaining Constitutional Republic!
As our country's various "enemies within," such as old long-standing Communist-spewing U.S. Congressman Bernie Sanders, and NY City’s proudly elected Democrat-Socialist Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, and in-kind others, continue to find support of what is historically evident to be “An Epitome of Self-Destructive Lunacy” . . . fueled by a shameful and most troubling spread of ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, greed, and counter-productive fear!
All making the following quotation often attributed to President Ronald Reagan ever so meaningful and prophetic . . . “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where We the People were free.”
