When I and others of same time frame entered this world, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was the U.S. President—you can do the math. And, some thirteen U.S. Presidents later, I and countless likeminded others ponder the world around us with a mixed state of positive wonder and deep concern.
Positive wonder regarding the many life-improving advances now available to an ever-growing fortunate many worldwide. And, a deep concern about the ancient-rooted evils and other dark-sides of humankind that yet threaten—not only our daily livelihood—but our ultimate survival. Threats all too often, and for much too long, treated with self-destructive apathy and complacency.
For example, although our country continues to be faced with daunting social challenges, and serious threats from enemies within and beyond our borders, the turnout of lawful voters in our local, state, and national U.S. elections continues to be irresponsibly and shamefully low. Leaving the fate of current and future generations of Americans vulnerable to those who strive to destroy our constitutional democracy and the precious liberty and freedom so many past and present have paid the ultimate price for. A liberty and freedom too many among us too often take for granted, as countless among our world’s much less fortunate continue to strive for, often at ultimate sacrifice.
Our upcoming November 2018 elections represent a rapidly approaching “crucial fork in the road”! Unlike a “crossroad” that implies multiple options, the “fork in the road” facing us includes only two paths.
One leading to respect for and preservation of our U.S. Constitution; borders; common-language English; free-enterprise economic system; and common-culture founded on Judeo-Christian values.
The other being a suicidal path into the liberty and freedom destroying abyss of socialist/communist agendas. Fueled by the divide and conquer weapons of political correctness, racism, identity politics, victimization, and hate-promoting propaganda, etc.
The choice is ours—at least at this point in time it remains so.
And, as we ponder the crucial upcoming November 2018 elections, and the consequences thereof, it is well that we also keep in mind that history attests that it is not “wars” that destroy nations—but the “apathy and complacency” of the people thereof.
Which brings us to the truly prophetic and inescapable wisdom of the following quotation commonly attributed to Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865), our 16th U.S. President: “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”
So, for the sake of present and future generations of Americans, we are called upon to do the responsible thing in our November 2018 elections and thereafter! That being, to ensure that we only elect and support members to our U.S, Congress (House & Senate), that are truly dedicated to the support and success of President Trump’s “U.S. First” agenda for making and keeping America great again!
