YOU DECIDE IF IT IS HAPPENING

Karl Marx said that the United States will become a communist nation by being transformed into a communist nation and will not become communist through a revolution. Karl Marx also said in the Critique of the Gotha program that a capitalist society will be transformed into a communist society during a period of transformation. During this time of transformation, Marx explained that the government must be a despotic “Dictatorship of the Proletariat.” Michelle Obama said that our conversation, our traditions, and our history must change so we can be transformed into the desired Marxist totalitarian state. Barack Obama promised that his regime would transform the United States into a Marxist totalitarian state.
This is happening today. The Marxists told us that creeping socialism should precede outright communism, because totalitarian rule is so frightening to people in free nations that it must be quietly slipped into those societies in bits and pieces. It is through that incremental process that socialism serves as an under-the-radar, transitional gateway to the unrelenting oppression of full-blown communism.
Communists like Michelle and Barack Obama understand what holds a capitalist society together are the pillars of its culture, the structures and institutions of family, religion, education, politics, law, the arts, and the media, as they provide the social cohesion necessary to a functioning society. Undermine the principles that these cultural institutions embody, and a capitalist society can be overthrown from within without firing a shot.   
Here is a common list of changes that Communists such as Marx, Lenin, Mao, Castro, Chavez, the Obama’s, and so many others understand must be accomplished:
    Eliminate prayers and any expression of religion in schools.
    Infiltrate churches and replace true religion with “social” religion.
    Discredit the U.S. Constitution and America’s Founding Fathers.
    Infiltrate and gain control of the labor union movement.
    Infiltrate and gain control of teachers’ associations.
    Use schools as transmission belts for socialist indoctrination.
    Break down traditional cultural standards; discredit the family as an institution.
    Infiltrate and gain control of the press, radio, TV, and the entertainment industry.
    Use the courts to weaken basic American institutions.
    Promote the UN as the only hope for mankind; demand that it be set up as a one-world government.
    Infiltrate and gain control of one or both political parties.
You have the information. You know what has been happening in the United States and you know the stated goals of the Democrat Party (CPOTUS). You decide if what I am saying is true or false.

CAN YOU BE A DEMOCRAT OR RHINO AND AN AMERICAN

0 Comments

In order to this question, we must first define what we mean by an American and what we mean by a Democrat or RHINO. I am going to do something not many people who have been educated in the United States have ever done. I am going to review our founding; why did the American colonist choose to risk everything they had including their lives for the purpose of establishing a country like no other before it.
The American colonist chose to oppose the British government because it viewed that government as being a tyrannical government. Tyrannical means that government exercises power in a cruel or arbitrary way. If you will read the last part of the Declaration of Independence you will learn about the different actions the King had taken that the colonist considered to be cruel and arbitrary.
In the beginning of the Declaration of Independence we learn about the type of government the colonists believed to be in the best interest of the people. These ideas of the colonists were called new and liberal ideas. These new ideas believed that government should have a limited role in its control over the lives of the people, unlike the role of the British King and all monarchs of that day. The colonist stated that the essential rights and liberties come from God and not from man or government. They stated that the only role government was to ever play in these rights and liberties was to protect them. Government was to never have the power to limit or abolish these rights.
These Americans named these rights as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness or property. These Americans stated there were more God given rights than these when they used the word amongst those rights are these. An American believes that the right to life is given by God and not government. Thus, abortion would not only violate the belief of a Christian, but it would also violate the belief of an American. An American would never believe that government had the right to in any way impede the right to free speech, the right to worship, the right to assemble, or the right to petition the actions of government. An American would never believe it is fair to take the property of another without that person’s consent, even if the taker were poor or in need, nor would an American ever believe it is fair or right for government to prevent an individual from working.
A Democrat and RHINO are telling us that we must abandoned our belief that the rights of the individual are given to us by God and revert to the long-established belief that government should control all aspects of each individual’s life through the decrees of a centralized government. This centralized control would not only control the social aspects of the nation but would also control all economic aspects as well. The Democrat and RHINO believe exactly the opposite of what our founders believed. The Democrat and RHINO advocate that all citizens must conform to the demands of the centralized government including those demands concerning life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness or property. Yes, the Democrat and RHINO demand that we conform to the belief that for any reason babies can be murdered before they are even born, that government can censor what we say, what we read, and even what we think, and that we work for the benefit of the government and the government has the right to tell us what we can keep from what we have earned based on what they think we need. The Democrat and RHINO also believe that all property belongs to the government and that what we say we own is really theirs and we must pay rent to keep it, they have the right to take it anytime for any reason, and they can say under what conditions others can take our property.
The Democrat and the RHINO belief in the long-established belief of collectivism. Collectivism is a term that means the state controls all aspects of society and government exists to implement what government believes is right for government. Collectivism is a term that encompasses all that is Marxism, communism, socialism, and progressive. The Democrat believes, as did Lenin, that the quickest way to total state control is the best way, while the RHINO takes the approach that a more gradual and less obvious way is the best way.
America was also established on the rule of law concept which states that the law is the ruler, and it must be applied equally to all.  Americans believe in fair play and do not believe that the politics of the individual should dictate how the law is applied. The Democrat and RHINO adhere to the long-established belief of the collectivist that it is the end goal that is critical and any means necessary to arrive at the end goals is proper. The Democrat and RHINO look with disdain, and refer to any who apply rule of law as fools.
America’s guiding principles are found in the Bible, the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and enumerated in the first ten amendments to the Constitution or what is commonly referred to as the Bill of Rights. Americans will say that we must continue to honor the above if we wish to restore the individual liberties and freedoms proclaimed in then, The Democrat and RHINO are telling us that these guiding writings have outgrown their usefulness and we must revert back to the time when those in government determined by decree how people could live their lives and what people must think. They tell us this is in the best interest of government, so it is in everybody’s best interest. Democrats, RHINOS, and fools agree with that sentiment.

A GREAT NATION CANNOT SURVIVE STUPIDITY

0 Comments

Read Now
 
When people elect stupid people to make their laws and direct their policies, they cannot survive. Stupidity is thinking you have all the answers and not being smart enough to ask penetrating questions. We see this in congressional hearings constantly where these so-called seekers of the truth ask leading questions that would be and should be rejected in any courtroom seeking the truth. We see this when people reject overwhelming evidence that lock downs do not in any way reduce China Virus cases but do add misery, economic hardship, and contribute to deaths from many unrelated cases and yet stupid people insist on even stricter lock downs. We see this when strong evidence and sworn statements state that widespread voter fraud took place and yet stupid people for political purposes are unwilling to honestly investigate irrefutable voter fraud issues and willingly destroy the essential basis of our Republic. We see stupid people argue about how much of other people’s money they should receive simply because their government has determined certain businesses can stay open and others must close because stupid bureaucrats, technocrats, and experts refuse to accept evidence that does not coincide with their political agendas.
Anybody could go on and on giving examples of stupid policies dictated by stupid people, but nobody can give an example of a more stupid person that sadly wields political power than the congressperson form California Maxine Waters. Her stupidity exhibited over the last thirty years is legendary. Discerning people will associate stupidity with Maxine Waters perhaps from now until her stupidity, along with so many of her colleagues, accomplishes their goal of destroying our Republic and replacing it with a Marxist totalitarian state.
This is one of only many recent stupid statements made by Maxine.
Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said Saturday on CNN that President Donald Trump was “compromised” by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
When asked about Russia’s alleged hack of the U.S. government and technology companies, Waters said, “Well, here’s what I know about Russia and Putin. They have, in fact, you know, compromised this president. And this president will not condemn them, will not criticize them. And even when he knows it’s a threat, whether it is our election systems or to our energy systems, he is not going to do anything to disagree with them because he’s a compromise president.”
She continued, “He’s a president whose allies here in the United States are connected to the oligarchs of Russia. They have money agreements, et cetera, et cetera. So, we cannot expect any pushback. We’ve got to rely on Biden. And we’ve got to rely on the new administration to stand up to Russia. And to stand up to China and to be the kind of government that’s looking out for the best for their country and America. That’s what we’re relying on. We cannot expect anything from this administration.”
When asked if she believes Russia was behind the hack, Waters said, “Oh, absolutely. As a matter of fact, all of the intelligence has supported that. His own, you know, administration, folks in the administration are saying that this is true. It’s only the president who can’t open his mouth and basically live up to the expectation of the American people for support against the enemy.”
Everything Maxine says is conjecture, been refuted (for LuAnn Savage I am using the ancient definition of refute which means has proof to substantiate the denial and not just a simple denial such as no I did not do it). There has never been any proof of Trump and Putin ties. Even a two-year investigation could not substantiate this claim. No recent President has placed stronger restrictions on Russian actions than President Trump. It was Hunter Biden who received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, the richest woman in Russia, for the Biden International Crime Family. It was Hunter Biden who received numerous payments from CCP members for the Biden International Crime Family. But as Joe Biden stated and Maxine accepts, “We never let facts get in the way of our truth.”
So long as Americans continue to place stupid people like Maxine Waters (for you leftists, I do not say Maxine is stupid because she is a women or she is black, but I say it based on irrefutable evidence that she is stupid) and people who wish to transform our Republic into a Marxist totalitarian state like Obama, Schumer, Ossoff, Warnock, Harris, Biden, virtually every Democrat today, and Rhino’s like Romney and Kinzinger our Republic will no longer be a free nation that champions individual freedoms and rights, but will become a Marxist totalitarian state with all people forced to conform to the demands of the collective.

AMERICANS SHOULD NOT WORK WITH DEMOCRATS

Hopefully, President Trump will not sing the China Virus Bill. This is another omnibus bill that was negotiated behind closed doors. It was not developed in committee. Members were not allowed to read it before voting on it. Truly, this was another, “we must pass it to learn what is in it bill.” There was no debate on the bill. There was no time for amendments to be made to the bill. We are learning there are many non-related items in the bill that have nothing to do with the China Virus.
This is the way congress now operates. Committees are now used as investigative arms for political purposes and not for putting together bills. Congress has not put together a proper budget since the early days of the Obama regime. We now operate on continuing resolutions and massive omnibus bills. Both are filled with pet projects and massive give away programs. What we have learned is that congress has foreign aid packages so they can receive kickbacks from the receiving countries. The Biden's have revealed how they work and how they have enriched the Biden family.
Americans would never support this type of government. The only purpose of government is to protect the people from foreign enemies and to protect our individual rights endowed to us by God. The purpose of the United States Constitution is to protect the people from government taking those rights from us. An American believes that government that governs least governs best. An American also understands that the federal government doing that which state or local government should be doing is creating a government based on central planning and central control. This is the beginning of a tyrannical government. This the Democrats and Rhino’s support and Americans oppose.
The Democrats, and Rhino’s, advocate for all that the Constitution was meant to prevent; that is government control over the lives and thoughts of the people. Democrats and Rhino’s have centralized power in the hands of bureaucrats, technocrats, and experts. Democrats and Rhino’s advocate for a government based on collectivist principles as opposed to individualist principles or the very principles that were known as American principles.
The China Virus Bill is representative of all that is not American.

BIDEN IS RIGHT AND PROVES AGAIN THAT HE SHOULD NEVER TAKE OFFICE

0 Comments

“I think with Donald Trump not in the way, that will also enhance the prospect of things getting done,” Biden said at a press conference on Tuesday, suggesting that Republicans would be more willing to deal with him after he took office.
Biden pointedly noted that he would take the opposite political tone that Trump did while trying to force Congress to pass important legislation.
“You have a different team in town,” he said. “I’m not going to villainize the opposition, but I’m going to stand and say, ‘This is what we’ve got to do,'” Biden said, adding that Republicans would understand the need to act quickly.
“They know me,” he continued. “They know I level with them. They know I never mislead. They know I tell them the truth, and they know I don’t go out of my way to try to embarrass.”
Biden said he expected Congress to produce another spending package to get the vaccines distributed to all Americans and for all the unemployed to get economic relief. He also cited the need for direct payments for Americans, a moratorium on rental evictions and mortgage payments for people who were out of work, and enough personal protection equipment and direct payments to small businesses to keep them running. He also cited the need to invest heavily in infrastructure to rebuild the economy after the pandemic.
The swamp was exposed and threatened. No, it was not drained, and if Biden does take office the swamp will become even more entrenched.
What we have to ask, is just what is the swamp? The swamp is the movement that believes government that governs most governs best. The swamp is the movement that believes government must be sovereign and the people must be the servant. The swamp is the movement that believes people should be able to vote but the election must be predetermined so those who “know best” remain in office. The swamp is the movement that believes bureaucrats, technocrats, and experts are better equipped to run the country than are any elected officials. The swamp is the movement that believes collectivism is reality and individualism is a myth that destroys and must be avoided at all costs.
Donald Trump was the first outsider elected to be president who believed people can run their lives better than can government and the first outsider who understood that more government means less freedom, since Ronald Reagan. Donald Trump made it his mission to protect individual liberties and freedom and to expose the swamp, the very people who despise individual liberties and freedom per the Untied States Constitution. Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan believed in the great principle upon which our nation was founded, individualism. The swamp, the media, education, entertainment, Democrats, and RHINO’s believe in collectivism or that people are incapable of running their own lives much less government, and through the mechanism of government people must be controlled and regulated to do only what they are directed and permitted to do. This is collectivism, this is communism, this is the swamp, this is the media, this is education, this is entertainment, this is the Democrats, and this is the RHINO’s.
This was not George Washington, this was not Thomas Jefferson, this was not Samuel Adams, this was not Patrick Henry, this was not James Madison, this was not Calvin Coolidge, this was not Ronald Reagan, this is not Donald Trump, and this is not Don Jans. Are you able to add your name to this list? If so, welcome to this group of great Freedom Loving Americans. If not, you are a part of the swamp, a collectivist, a part of those who knowingly or unknowingly are advocating the Untied States of America be transformed into a communist state. Is that what you want?

NOT MY BROTHER NOR MY SISTER BUT ME

0 Comments

Many people will recognize this title as the line in the Christian song that goes, “Not my brother nor my sister, but me O Lord, standing in the need of prayer”.  It is so easy, and yes even admirable for us to pray for our brothers and our sisters and then even more admirable when we self-righteously explain that all are my brothers and my sisters, so I am praying for all people. Yet, when we are standing before God on judgement date, God will be asking about me, not my brothers and my sisters or all the people.
The United States is an individualist Nation. In an individualist nation it is most important that I do the very best that I can, that I do what I must do to remain free, that I take responsibility to provide for myself and my family, that I take responsibility for my values and the values of my children, that I take responsibility for my actions and understand that I cannot blame my actions and the harm that they cause on others, that I take responsibility to rise above hardships that are placed in my way, that I take responsibility to share what blessings I have been given with others, and I do this not because government demands it but because this is what my God has told me he desires and blesses.
In a collectivist nation I take exactly the opposite view. It is my belief that the community owes me what I need and what I want for myself. The government is responsible to take from others and give to me because somehow or someway I am a victim of the oppression of others placed upon me. This oppression is because I am a member of some oppressed community and not an individual.
These are two totally different world views. Ironically, the view that I am responsible for myself, my family, and for how I share my blessings with others is considered to be a selfish and self-centered view, while the view that I am owed my needs and my wants is considered to be a sharing and other-centered view.
The United States of America was founded on the concept of saying yes it is me Lord who is in the need of prayer, or on an individualist viewpoint which made us a unique country. The left, or the Democrat party which is really the Communist Party of the United States, is in the process of transforming a once great and unique nation founded on individualist principles into a failed nation of poverty and misery by imposing collectivist principles upon us.
What can we who desire individual liberty, individual freedom, individual opportunity, or individualism due to combat this insidious and what is becoming a ubiquitous movement of collectivism or victimhood movement. The first thing we must do is to recognize that this movement is real and happening. When we acquiesce to the requirements of the politically correctness movement and the demanded word games played by these enemies of individual liberty and freedom, we are not only enabling the movement, but we are a part of the advancement of the movement.
Secondly, we must become a strong advocate for and participant in the “Setting Brushfires of Freedom” movement. I have written about this in the past and outline it the above-mentioned book.
Thirdly, we must become strong advocates for and participants in “civil disobedience”.  Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal of a citizen to obey certain laws, demands, orders or commands of a government. Please note, in the definition, it says active participation and not just verbal or written opposition to the illegal and anti-individualist demands of bureaucrats, and elected officials.
We were told that civil disobedience is not only necessary but is a patriotic duty if we support individual liberty and freedom. In today’s world, the collectivist or those advocating for communism would call civil disobedience a traitorous activity.
Thomas Jefferson said, “If a law is unjust a man is not only right to disobey it, but he is also obligated to do so”.
 Thomas Paine told us, “It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from the government”.
Samuel Adams told us, “What a man has honestly acquired is absolutely his own, which he may freely give, but cannot be taken from him without his consent”.
It is time we who are Freedom Loving Americans become dedicated to praying for ourselves asking God to direct us in ways he wishes for us individually to pursue his will and follow it explicitly as he directs for we cannot then fail, that we set a brushfire of freedom every day, and that we become dedicated practitioners of civil disobedience against any and all unjust decrees from aspiring tyrants in government. This is our duty and our obligation.

WHEN FOOLS PEOPLE SPEAK OTHERS ARE LED ASTRAY

0 Comments

An expert is supposed to be someone who has a comprehensive and authoritarian knowledge of or skill in a particular area. In many situations we accept what people say simply because they are saying what we want to be the truth. An indoctrinated person will not question the statement because they have been taught to accept all that conforms to their belief system. An educated person will say I must do my own research to ensure that what they are saying is correct and thus my belief system is still correct.
We see so many pundits, who claim to be experts, speaking on television, being quoted in newspapers, and pontificating on social media outlets that are believed by the indoctrinated and not checked by the educated.
MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch reacted to a report (from an anonymous source) claiming President Donald Trump discussed invoking martial law in the Oval Office of the White House to invalidate Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 presidential election over claims of voter fraud.
Deutsch said during “Morning Joe” that Trump is trying to put an end to the “Madisonian democracy” because he is racist. He presented the “Muslim ban,” Trump’s comments about Mexicans, and his policies aimed at China as proof.
“Morning Joe”, another self-proclaimed expert failed to correct Deutsch. Madison strongly opposed democracy. His opposition was for the very reasons the left in the United States is trying to convince Americans that we are a democracy.
This is what Madison said about democracy:
“Democracies have been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death.”
“Measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority.”
“Democracy is the most vile form of government.”
“Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths. Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of government, have erroneously supposed that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same time, be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions.”
In this last statement, Madison is not only denouncing democracy but also telling us that collectivism is also erroneous. Yes, Madison told us that what the Democrats are proposing this very day is doomed to failure.
For Deutsch and “Morning Joe” to even insinuate James Madison, the Father of the Constitution” in any way shape or form favored democracy is a travesty to the memory of such a great American who believed in individualism and despised any and all forms of collectivism (Marxism, communism, socialism, progressives, Democrats of today, - all virtually the same).
WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT, I WOULD HOPE ALL AMERICANS WOULD ASK. This is critical to the future of the United States if we are to remain a free society that champions individual liberties for all. We were founded as a Constitutional Republic. A Republic is a form of government that is established to protect the rights of all, even those in the minority. In a Republic, the individual right to practice the religion of your choice, to speak freely without being demonized, ostracized, or censored, or to be free to assemble without being disrupted and beaten are always protected. Of course, there are many other individual rights that are also protected in the Constitution, specifically in the Bill of Rights, and then the 9th amendment tells us there are individual rights that are not specified but are still protected.
Every time these so-called experts such as Deutsch or “Morning Joe” put forth these false statements trying to convince Americans that our founders agreed with the tyrannical aspirations of the modern day left, they are exposing their real goals. Our founders established a nation that was designed to protect individual rights. They understood that government and democracy were and are the enemies of individual rights. We were told we were given a Republic and it was up to us to keep it. These are exactly what the left opposes today.
We are failing in that assignment of keeping our Republic. People like “Morning Joe”, and Deutsch are misleading the American public. These leftist activists have been advocating for democracy and big government simply because they are advocates for collectivism. The founders were absolute opponents of collectivism and total proponents of individualism. The collectivist advocates adhere to the collectivist maxim that “the ends always justify the means”, even if those means are lying to the American public to believe that our founders supported the very policies the collectivist supports, the very policies that can only destroy freedom and liberty and bring about a Marxist tyrannical state.

THE POLICIES OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY TODAY COINCIDE WITH (READ TO LEARN)

0 Comments

Read Now
 
If you will simply read through these statements, you will be able to identify the philosophy and practices of the Democrat Party today.
 
“The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.”
“Why should freedom of speech and freedom of press be allowed? Why should a government which is doing what it believes to be right allow itself to be criticized? It would not allow opposition by lethal weapons. Ideas are much more fatal things than guns. Why should any man be allowed to buy a printing press and disseminate pernicious opinions calculated to embarrass the government?”
“People always have been, and they always will be stupid victims of deceit and self-deception in politics.”
“Atheism is a natural and inseparable part of Marxism, of the theory and practice of scientific socialism. Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.”
“It is true that liberty is precious; so precious that it must be carefully rationed.”
“Only an armed people can be the real bulwark of popular liberty.”
“Only by abolishing private property in land and building cheap and hygienic dwellings can the housing problem be solved.”
“It is not national interests we are upholding - we claim that the interests of socialism, the interests of world socialism, rank higher than national interests, higher than the interests of the state. We are defenders of the socialist fatherland. “
“A democracy is a state which recognizes the subjection of the minority to the majority, that is, an organization for the systematic use of violence by one class against the other, by one part of the population against another.”
And
“The Marxist doctrine is omnipotent because it is true. It is comprehensive and harmonious, and provides men with an integral world outlook irreconcilable with any form of superstition, reaction, or defense of bourgeois oppression. It is the legitimate successor to the best that man produced in the nineteenth century, as represented by German philosophy, English political economy and French socialism.”
 
These are all quotes of Vladimir Lenin. A wise and a rationale individual could make an extremely strong case that in fact Vladimir Lenin is the leader of the Democrat Party today. If you will simply take the time to acquaint yourself with Lenin and his mentor Karl Marx, you can only conclude that the Democrat Party of today is as much the Communist Party of the United States as is the Chinese Communist Party of China the Communist Party of China.

DO YOU WANT TO BE LIKED OR DO YOU WANT TO BE FREE

I hear people saying time after time they cannot discuss politics with other people because it always becomes a fight and then the people no longer like them. These same people with whom you do not want to discuss politics will not like you after all have lost their freedom to a Marxist totalitarian state either. The collectivist philosophy (Marxist, communist, socialist, progressive, Democrat – all virtually the same) is a philosophy of hatred and control. The more the collectivist controls the more they hate and these people with whom you avoided discussing this evil should be more upset with you because you avoided alerting them to this evil.
The collectivist philosophy has been embraced by the current Democrat Party, which has become the Communist Party of the United States. Control and hate is as much a part of the Democrats of today as it was to any and all collectivists in the past. That would include all the murderous Marxist dictatorships of the twentieth century.
We, who claim to be Freedom Loving Americans believe that appeasement will buy us a few more years of peace. Appeasement has always and will always embolden evil. We are currently being told by factions that by allowing people to assault others, to steal, and to destroy we are some how going to lower crime. I guess if we define crime to only be murder, our crime statistics will tell us our crime has been lowered but the misery of crime will not be reduced due to these foolish appeasement declarations.
This mentality does not exist just in our city and county governments, but goes to our federal institutions as well. I listen to different hearings on different issues and inevitably we hear the standard cop out question by those of the left and the right, when they ask the witness, “what would you suggest we do so this egregious act never happens again?” Of course, we hear some standard answer that is acclaimed to be enlightened as the witness pontificates that if only a new law was passed, or a new procedure was implemented all would be good. The proper answer would of course be to tell the truth and that truth would be that the egregious act would occur much less if  there was enforcement of the laws currently on the books and proper consequences were applied to those who committed these unlawful acts.
I also hear from people that so and so must be recalled for some reason. The fact is that the reason given for recall was known before the election. The question that must be asked is to those who knew before the election if they made it a point to point out to as many people as they the shortcoming now causing the concern instead of being afraid they would not be liked. A perfect example of this would be the Biden International Crime Family. Facts as to the extent and specific details about the practices as to how the Biden International Crime Family made their money were revealed when the Hunter Biden hard drive was finally made known months before the election. That is correct, but the evidence on the hard drive was concealed by the media and it was concealed by the social media giants, but you and I knew about it. Did we tell our family, friends, and acquaintances or were we to concerned about not being liked.
Today, there is reams of hard evidence that the election was stolen. The Dominion voting machines have been proven to have greatly facilitated this fraud, evidence of violating procedures to safeguard the vote are documented, and the manipulation of in person voting has received sworn testimony. Yet, there are people today that are not aware of this hard evidence. The revelations are no longer smoking guns but are now just more confirmation of the known crimes. Have you revealed this irrefutable evidence to your family members, friends, and acquaintances or are you to concerned about not being liked.
There are other examples of our freedoms being taken from us. For instance, in the Washington Post there was an article stating that Christians should not be allowed to hold public office. Unless this is directly confronted by us by discussing this with our family, friends, and acquaintances, even though some might not like us because we discussed it with them, this will happen. Even today, in the Senate Judiciary Committee, people are being opposed simply because they are Christians. This is happening despite the Constitutional prohibition against this very act.
You are in all likelihood thinking Don, this is all good and well, but you just do not understand, when I mention these things it just ends in a big argument and then a big fight. My response is, it can only be an argument or a fight if you participate. I have never known of an argument that ends in a fight when there is only one participant.
When you are “Setting Brushfires of Freedom” you must not allow that happening to become an argument or fight. Your purpose is to introduce the new concept to the other and simply request that they consider it, encourage them to do a little research, and simply remind them that knowing they are fair and open-minded people they will take an honest look. You might have to ask them again at a later time if they proved you right that they are fair and open-minded and did they do any research. Always understand that it could take several times before the fire catches, and you also have to understand that it might never catch.
Always remember, if and when you engage in an argument or a fight with them, you have lost not only the battle but probably the war. People will never change their minds because we told them to change their minds, they will only change their minds when they have concluded the other way is better. Our job is to help them reach that point.
To be an effective setter of brushfires you must understand the differences between individualism, which is really freedom and liberty, and collectivism which is really Marxism, communism, socialism, progressive, and is the heart of the Democrat Party today. I have written three books I would highly recommend you read to help you in this endeavor. The three books are entitled, “The Road to Tyranny”, “Two Visions of America”, and “Setting Brushfires of Freedom”. They are available on my website, on Amazon, or Barnes and Nobel.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND HOW WE ARE BEING TRANSFORMED

If you have taken the time to listen to any of the state hearings or congressional hearings on the election, you can only come away shaking your head and fearing for our freedom and liberty. It becomes so clear that those we have elected to be servants do not understand why we were founded on the basis upon which we were founded. A key element was that our nation would be a republic and not a democracy. Yet, these elected officials, especially those on the left, consistently refer to us as a democracy. Our founders were clear why they specifically rejected democracy, perhaps none more than Thomas Jefferson, when he said, “Democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51% of the people may take away the rights of the other 49%.”
This is what we have witnessed more and more over the last many years. As the Democrat Party has more and more adopted the polices of the collectivists (Marxists, communists, socialists, and progressives) we have seen members of the Democrat Party refer to us as a democracy and more and more they have tried to take away all elements of a republic including the electoral college.
There are many differences between republic and democracy. For instance, in a democracy the majority rules and as Jefferson stated they can take away rights of the minority. We are seeing this being done more and more where consistently the Democrats are declaring that rights such as speech, religion, assembly, and property can be taken from people for what they call the good of the community. This is how democracy works.
Another important difference between democracy and republic is that democracy says whatever the majority or those in power say the law is, that is deemed to be the law. In a republic the law is constructed by a defined process and the law passed by following that process, remains the law until it is changed through the same process. The ultimate law, under a constitutional republic, which we what we are supposed to be, is the written constitution.
We have witnessed in the 2020 election how democracy and republic differ. In many states, governors, judges, and other officials declared new voting rules that violated not only the written laws of the respective states, but by doing so violated the United States Constitution, which is the ultimate law of the land. The Democrat Party has supported these violations, as any proponent of democracy would, stating that those in power have the ultimate authority as opposed to the United States Constitution. These Democrats stated that due to other reasons, the rules must be changed for the good of the community. Again, as any and every collectivist (Marxist, communist, socialist, progressive) would.
Why are the Democrats so insistent on the United States becoming a true democracy, forsaking the foresight of our founders who insisted on all the protections of a republic for the rights of the minority and the protection of freedom and liberty.
I have stated many times, based on facts and not supposition, that the Democrat Party would be more accurately called the Communist Party of the United States.
Why communists support democracy is specifically stated by Vladimir Lenin when in “State and Revolution” he says, “Democracy is a form of the state, it represents, on the one hand, the organized, systematic use of force against persons; but, on the other hand, it signifies the formal recognition of equality of citizens, the equal right of all to determine the structure of, and to administer, the state. This, in turn, results in the fact that, at a certain stage in the development of democracy, it first wields together the class that wages a revolutionary struggle against capitalism – the proletariat, and enables it to crush, republican - bourgeois, state machine, the standing army, the police and the bureaucracy and so substitute for them a more democratic state machine, but a state machine nevertheless, in the shape of armed workers who proceed to form a militia involving the entire population.
Here “quantity turns into quality”: such a degree of democracy implies overstepping the boundaries of bourgeois society and beginning the socialist reorganization. “
Collectivists (Marxists, communists, socialists, progressives) have always understood that democracy is a path to crush the republican state. When Lenin is referring to capitalist, bourgeoise, or republican he is referring to individualism which is the opposite of collectivism
It is critical for all to understand what the different forces are stating. The founders said they favored republic because it protected freedom and liberty for the individual. The collectivist (Democrat) advocates for democracy because it is a means to deny rights and liberties to those who oppose the collectivist movement. We are witnessing this very clash to which Lenin refers. We are seeing the Democrat Party or the Communist Party of the United States using democracy to crush our republic and for which it stands including law and order, rule of law, and rights of speech, religion, assembly, and property.
If we who are individualist (Freedom Loving Americans) bend to the illegalities of the collectivists (Democrats) in this election, our republic will be further crushed and the transformation to a Marxist totalitarian state will be further advanced.
