Cultural Change in America
The cultural divide deepens. We “Normal” Americans are far and apart from those who believe that socialism and communism is a preferred way of life. We are in a war, about that I have no doubt. Those of you who choose to love God and go to church are in the crosshairs. You who believe it is your right to make choices about yours or your children’s lives are enemies of the other side. If you think you get to make the decision as to whether or not you vaccinate, you are literally hated by those on this dark side of our culture.
There was a time when all this nonsense we hear today was simply not evident. Growing up as a child, I didn’t know anything about homosexuality. I did not know much about divides between various races. I just played around in the woods and the parks and the streams of Maryland with my white and black and Hispanic friends. We were just kids. It was a time free of labels. I never heard of ADHD or any other multi letter something or another that so commonplace today. Was it that we just hadn’t defined these psychological conditions back then? Or perhaps they just weren’t around?
I knew of bullies, that’s for sure. I still remember the name of mine, “Mickey,” A Puerto Rican. I did not however know of any safe zone, except perhaps my bedroom. All I knew was that I was going to get pummeled on any day for no reason other than being in school. But one day I stood up to that guy who towered over me and I missed with the first swing but planted a solid second one that cut my knuckle and lost him a tooth. And then my problems just went away, all at once. I learned that facing my problem and taking action, MYSELF, brought about the solution.
I felt that people who went to church were really good people, but I did not feel as though those who didn’t weren’t good as well, I guess I never saw much difference. And politics were certainly always there. My dad a WW2 B-17 pilot was a democrat, and he did not like republicans. My uncle was too, so I thought that democrats were the party of good men. But as time went on and I saw things for myself, I registered and voted Republican. And you know what? It didn’t cause any sort of a rift in my family. We were all free to choose under the guarantees of the constitution and people just accepted that.
That constitution thing. From my earliest lessons on it in the third grade, I think, I could see the majesty of it. I could only compare it to the bible from my limited experience, and it seemed to sound about the same. It was a document above men. It was in some higher dimension and it simply ruled over us like this invisible God. But now all that is challenged, everywhere.
We have battlegrounds aplenty these days. We have one at our southern border. Illegals by the hundred thousand flood across it, diluting our culture by disrespecting our laws. And we are a nation of laws…that constitution thing. We have a battleground in our schools where counter culture and counter-republic idealisms are quietly taught by left leaning teachers. By the way, we don’t need right leaning teachers to counter, we just need no-leaning teachers to simply teach the facts. We have a crisis in government. There is ample evidence coming out that too many dead people and dogs voted in the previous elections, and some illegal aliens voted way too many times. This needs to be looked into and settled in our court system.
But what if we as a government decide to just sweep this under the rug? Well for sure lady liberty on Stratton Island will be sporting a big black eye! You can’t have a country of laws if we do not enforce the laws. And enforcing immigration laws would be one of those things that we should be doing, but by direction of our president, we are not doing. So that is not right, and Lady Liberty gets another right hook to her noggin. I suspect she is starting to get a bit perturbed.
That’s where that this battleground thing starts to become more prominent. We as a nation had something like this happen to us some time ago. I want to say it was a little past the mid 1700’s. People a long way from here kept making more and more rules that we found to be unfair and draconian. We started to push back, once wasting tons of perfectly good tea in some harbor, but it did not stop there. When that far away government realized the people were growing uneasy, their leader told their army to confiscate all our assault weapons. Well, folks at Lexington Green in Concord Massachusetts were having no part in that and started a war with these overly confident rulers from so far away. London, England and Washington DC are starting to look very much alike in the modern context.
Well things are cooking up here in just the same fashion. There will be many who might argue that we are not that far along, and they are entitled to their opinion. But I think we are. My country is dying under this progressive control. Our police are no longer effective because progressive District Attorneys over rule them and liberal judges set criminals free. We take a case of simple self-defense and try to spin it into some white KKK assignation plot. Looking at TV these days did you notice that almost all of the commercials have only black actors? Yea, it’s true, and if there were some economic reason for it, such as black people selling a shoe or a car amounted in a doubling of sales, then I’d say, go for it.
But that’s not it. What we have is reprogramming of our culture and our kids. Although I don’t really care about the black/white thing because as a former soldier I see people as Americans and not Hispanic Americans or white Americans. But to see the total swing of this influencing media over to black actors and actresses in such a short time period harkens to a hastening of the rate of change. Someone is trying to change the culture’s way of thinking about things. Or, perhaps someone is hoping to fan the flames of the racial divide so that we start fighting. A good old fight like the one we saw in Alabama when Dr. King was trying to set things right could be reason for the left to impose some more rules, use police or the military, all done to focus on the racial fighting while they move further to consolidate their leftist agenda.
I’ve been saying this for some time. We are getting close to a fight. We already have one in L.A., in Portland, in New York, in Chicago, heck, in every progressive managed city in our nation. I’d rather fight this in a school board meeting, at the ballot office, in a courtroom, or on the steps of some state capital. I’ve seen first time, many times what a real gunfight looks like and believe me, you won’t like it. I’d rather stand with the forces of good and support them as far as I can, and point out these little baby steps the left is constantly taking, and I will. But come fight time, I am prepared to defend the constitution to my last breath. I hope that millions are with me…
