Not actually all that long ago—on this said to be 4.5 billion years young planet—Abraham Lincoln reportedly cautioned that, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” A warning that seems to be more and more unnervingly prophetic, as one considers many of today’s happenings throughout this precious U.S. Constitutional Republic now gifted to the hands of we Americans still above ground.
What at times seems like only yesterday, it was supposed to be a slam-dunk! Starting with 17 candidates, the Republican Party’s brutal and self-devouring primary had ended with one sole survivor, Donald Trump. The Democrat primary, beginning with three candidates, had soon became a race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. With Sanders ultimately endorsing Clinton, as hacked e-mails exposed that top DNC officials had early-on dismissed Sanders as a viable candidate and attempted to undermine and derail his campaign.
Yes, the 2016 presidential election was supposed to be a done deal! Millions had been given and promised a seemingly endless list of “free-stuff” from our trillions of dollars in-debt public treasury. Years of effort had been invested in promoting victimhood, racial/social unrest, and an array of other divide-and-conquer agendas. Political-correctness had been widely entrenched as weapons against truth, fact, reality, free speech, and common sense. So-called mainstream media and entertainment-industry elite had saturated the country with politically biased venom. And, a “Deep State” (liberty-threatening manipulators within the IRS, FBI, and other government agencies, etc.) was firmly established to disrupt and roadblock any serious threat to the “status-quo.”
A predicted certainty by many, our U.S. borders would soon continue to be essentially open to all, providing a growing “voter-base” for some, and endless source of “cheap labor” for others. And, essentially forever secure would be the positions of power and influence, within the self-sustaining partnership between the radical/irresponsible elements of “BOTH” the political-left and political-right—i.e., the entrenched base of irresponsible career politicians, lobbyists, and bureaucrats—the Washington DC “Swamp.”
But then . . . along came “President Trump”! Not chosen from the flawless among us, for none exists; not a self-serving career-aspiring politician committed to straddle-the-fence talk, but an independently-wealthy businessman capable of actually speaking his mind—even at the risk of offending those conditioned to hearing otherwise; a Washington outsider; someone not bought by and obligated to lobbyists and special-interest groups; a president putting U.S. interests above that of other nations, and U.S. citizens’ rights above the welfare of illegal aliens; striving to replace nation-destructive political correctness with plain talk, truth, fact, reality; publicly declaring radical/Islamic terrorists to be “radical/Islamic terrorists”; committed to the seemingly impossible task of “Making America Great Again”; donating his taxpayer-funded salary to charity; a President making it OK again to publicly make reference to “God,” show respect for the U.S. Flag, and to verbally and/or through publicly displayed signage actually express a “Merry Christmas Wish”!
Yes, “President Trump”—a never before encountered “SERIOUS THREAT TO THE SWAMP.” A President with more U.S. preserving accomplishments during his first two years in office than most if not all his predecessors! For example: “The biggest Tax Cut and Reform Bill in America’s history”; “Destruction of the ISIS caliphate”; and a “Historically unmatched booster-shot to U.S. economy”! An economy that has added over “5 Million New Jobs,” including some 467,000 new jobs in the Manufacturing Sector; lifted more than “4.6 Million People Off Food Stamps”; and created the “Lowest Unemployment Rate in Half a Century”! As well as nomination of 2 Supreme Court Judges and 161 Federal Judges. These being but a few of hundreds of crucial nation-saving liberty/freedom-preserving achievements so far. All while swimming upstream against opposition in “BOTH” major political parties; a hostile mainstream news media; an on-going, nation-damaging hissy-fit from election sore-losers; a dysfunctional U.S. Congress; and a “deep state” committed—not to our U.S. Constitution, liberty, and freedom—but to our President’s and country’s failure.
And now we head towards the upcoming November 03, 2020 U.S. General Election. An opportunity to, by way of our votes, try our best to do the right thing for our Country and future generations of Americans. An opportunity also for those among us consumed with ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, greed, and counter-productive aims and fears, to help the aforementioned caution from Abraham Lincoln to one day soon become a most sad, shameful, and liberty-destroying reality.
But what do I know, I’m just an old unapologetic, irredeemable-deplorable who just possibly may have offended someone. And as a result, likely now labeled by the unrelenting, reality-denying, and so-called politically-correct as a racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, and other yet to be declared “-ists” and “-phobics” from the radical-left’s ever-growing “divide, conquer, and control” playbook.
