I have been away from home, traveling between large cites
through rural America. These are real
people; people who understand the President and agree with his agenda to make
America great again. They fly flags in
front of their homes, they go to church on Sunday, they go to potlucks and help
their neighbors and they work hard at whatever they do.
I also watched Sunday’s morning shows where the language used to avoid asserting
false statements while implying their truth is ridiculous. “There is possibly evidence that….”; “If evidence
is found it has the potential to destroy the Trump presidency….”; etc. Are these news media hoping that if they
assert these things long enough they will somehow become true? I
laughed out-loud when they claimed that by wanting to make Hillary emails public
after there was some indication that Russians might have been behind the DNC
leaks, that the desire for the American people to see what the leaks pointed to
meant that there was some collusion with Russia. Wow. So
if I am made aware of some secret or possibly criminal activity and I share
that information with people who should know about it, then I am somehow
involved with the people who exposed the secret
information? What crazy and twisted
logic.
Of course, the big story while I was traveling was the
latest Tweets. I have yet to be disgusted by one of President Trump’s
Tweets. I know that many are. But disgust is not a reason to remove someone
from office. I believe it was on Friday
that Sen. Feinstein commented that “that’s not how we talk.” Well, maybe not how she and other elites
talk, but many people do talk like that – like real people. When it suits Democrats’ purposes, it is Ok
for people not to be so erudite or perfect:
thus, the Democrats loved it when Bill Clinton talked (on MTV I think)
about what kind of underwear he wore. It
made him like a regular person, someone we could all relate to, they said. But now, they don’t want the president to be
a real person. Why? Because they don’t like the president and
because he is not one of them. Fine,
they can feel as they do, but, again, that is just not a reason to remove him
from office.
So back to the America that I drove through over the last
many days. Semi-rural, flags flying,
love America and love God signs in abundance.
Family farms and businesses. Tolerance
and respect for differing views and no demand that others accept your
views. Pride in family and country. People who eat lettuce, not arugula. People who talk in plain language, use simple
words and swear sometimes. People who
know they are not perfect but do the best they can. People who, like their country, make mistakes
sometimes, but who take responsibility for those mistakes, try harder, and are deserving of love and
respect. This is the America that I know
and love, not the America where every word is pre-thought before exiting the
mouth, not the America where people think they know what is best for everyone, not
the American where some look down their noses at others who do not possess
their education or talents, not the America where there is no tolerance for views
that do not meet the standards of the progressive Left; not the America where
those with differing or traditional values are considered stupid, uneducated,
and deplorable.
Perhaps there really are two Americas, but I think not. For the one that the Left envisions is a
false America; it is not the America of equality and tolerance and belief that has
been a beacon of freedom and democracy.
The Left’s America is not such a land, but rather one where opportunity
and acceptance is based on a variety of identity factors and where the goal is
that there be no diversity of thought or values or beliefs. Its beacon is not
one that will shine, though using smoke and mirrors the Left may be able to make it
appear that it will if power is in their hands.
On this Fourth of July, between barbecues and beers, take a
moment to read the Declaration of Independence.
Think what America truly stands for.
Think about its history. America
is not perfect, but it is truly great.
When you watch the fireworks, think what they are truly celebrating. Compare that with the false America that the
Left is trying to sell and then let them know you will not buy their false
contrivances.
