“AMERICA’S WORST NIGHTMARE”

As our country’s very real, perceived, and alleged troubles continue to be pondered, the “root cause(s)” are often considered by many among us to rest primarily if not solely with folks such as U.S. Presidents Bush, Clinton, Obama, Trump, Biden, etc. 

When, as determined by any resemblance of rational assessment, the ultimate responsibility more aptly rests with America’s “worst nightmare” — the “personal behaviors” of ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, greed, and irrational fear, chronically afflicting in many ways a liberty threatening and nation destructive number of “we the people.”

A “we the people” of whom many if not most do, however, have other much more constructive personal options. Such as the liberty/freedom to exercise: “fact-based knowledge”; “constructive enthusiasm and rational concern”; “balanced humility and justified discontent”; “proactive acknowledgement of truth/reality”; “reasoned self-sacrifice and rational generosity”; and “survival-focused faith, hope, courage, and self-confidence.” Especially those of us blessed to live in this much too-often taken-for-granted land of the truly uniquely-free.

Yes, in America, this most precious, liberty/freedom-enabling, and wisdom-founded constitutional republic, it is not “the tooth fairy” who, through elections or otherwise, determines who occupies positions of power within our government—and for how long. 

Nor, is it some “mysterious cosmic alien” who determines the legitimacy of our elections; trustworthiness of our educational institutions and justice system; security of our borders, cities, schools, and homes; and preservation of our country’s common-language, common-culture, and founding principles.

Therefore, it is beyond crucial that we personally and collectively acknowledge and address “what is truly” our country’s worst nightmare. And that we aggressively do so sooner rather than later, and successfully so. 

Otherwise, some “experienced tips” from the “we the people” of Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, North Korea, the packed prisons of China, etc. — on how to best cope with the historically-demonstrated curses of Maoism; Marxism; Communism; Socialism, etc., — are likely high among the special “survival tools” we should be seriously striving to timely get our hands on.
