Time To Just Say It!
By JB Williams (09/20/04)
Politicians have successfully divided 290 million individuals into a handful of nice neat little voting blocks easy to pander to. The liberal media (who is rarely fair or balanced about anything), has brain soaked the country into thinking “fair & balanced” reporting is of more value than just plain “truthful” reporting.
In the real world, truth is often unbalanced and rarely fair, especially to those who find themselves standing on the wrong side of truth.
Occasionally, circumstances demand that we set aside congeniality and get right down to calling things by their rightful name. This seems like one of those occasions.
I’m not sure there has ever been more at stake than in this election, but atop the list is the impending extinction of truth.
Political correctness can sometimes serve the worth while purpose of setting an amenable tone for public discourse. But in case you hadn’t noticed, the current tone in America is anything but amenable. So political correctness has lost its luster, and it is no longer of any viable use.
What I’m about to tell you is not something you don’t already know. It’s just stuff you have forgotten because nobody has been allowed to say it around here for a long time.
At one time, liberal was not a dirty word. But many of today’s liberals are better described by the term socialist, and though they seem to not care much for this term, it is no less appropriate.
Here’s another term liberals bristle at, anti-American. This is also the correct term for the behavior I have been witnessing for some years, and that permeates the liberal movement today.
I realize these terms seem harsh in a day when we are not supposed to call things by their rightful name. But sometimes, when we call evil by a more pleasant name, we overlook the fact that it is still evil.
Today’s liberals, today’s Democratic Party leadership, and the handful of billionaires supporting them, are in fact socialists and they are in fact anti-American.
Of all the words used to describe what America is, what defines being American, there are none more appropriate than the words written long ago. That every man is “created” equal, with the uniquely American Right and opportunity to become anything we want, including “unequal”.
Of all the Rights we have enjoyed since our nations birth, there are none more precious than our individual Right to Life, personal Liberty, and the Right of each of us, black, white, rich, poor, third generation or immigrant American, to pursue our own unique idea of happiness.
America is the richest nation on earth as a direct result of our economic design. America not only produces more millionaires than any country in earth’s history, but everyone fortunate enough to call themselves American, enjoys a lifestyle second to none in the world.
So if you are anti-Capitalism, you are anti-American, because nothing is more American than good old fashion capitalism.
95% of Americans consider themselves to be spiritual, believing in a higher power, a greater good, a life beyond this life, and since the beginning of time, this bedrock belief has served our nation well.
Further, America is predominantly a Christian nation, and because it is, even those who are non-believers enjoy blessings most in the world can’t imagine. Because our nation was built on the foundation of Judeo Christian values, we are all free to worship as we see fit, including not at all.
So if you are anti-religion, you are in fact anti-American. You must realize that there is a difference between being a non-believer, and being an antagonist, a difference between not subscribing to the belief, and belittling others who believe, or who freely express their belief.
America believes first and foremost in our individual Right to Life. Liberty and happiness are unattainable without first obtaining a Right to live.
If you believe its right to deny anyone this most basic Right, you are in fact anti-American. If you deny anyone this Right as a matter of convenience, you are no better than those we condemn around the globe for acts of genocide, or brutality against their own, and you are un-American.
America is the worlds super-power, not only militarily, but also economically, spiritually and in our unparalleled acts of generosity practiced at home and around the globe. We are, because America has always stood tall in the face of evil, always refused to allow ourselves to be divided, especially while confronting an evil.
America is known around the world as the world’s great melting pot. People have come from all corners, of different ethnicities, different talents, different dreams, different individual challenges and different circumstances. And for more than two hundred years, we have melted into one society, as American’s.
Those who aim to divide us now, based on our race, our economic status, our Religious beliefs, our individual understanding of the world, particularly in the name of political opportunism, are in fact, un-American.
Thousands gave their lives, their futures, so that we might have the chance to live and grow in this, the greatest nation on earth. They gave everything, so that we might have something worth fighting for. No matter how high minded your intentions, if you are willing to trade this to be a small piece of any one world order, you are in fact un-American.
There is no getting around the truth. The truth doesn’t have a side, it doesn’t belong to any particular political Party, it’s not subject to the eye of the beholder, or negotiable, it just is.
America is more than a piece of land, a geographical spot on the globe. It is a set of ideals, a way of life, a people, free because we are brave. Brave not because we are willing to die for our own freedom, but because we have always been willing to die for the freedom and liberty of others, even when we didn’t have to.
To forget this, to degrade it or belittle it, to play politics with it, is un-American.
Many liberals are not just liberal today, they are socialists, and they are un-American for all the reasons I stated and more. The DNC needs new leadership and they will continue to lose power until they get it.
The simple truth is, that’s how it should be!
