There are certain immutable facts that liberals tend to forget about governance that our Founders never did.
First: You cannot legislate morality.
No matter how hard one tries, no matter many laws are passed, no matter how much shamming our politicians try to inflict on their political opponents racism is and will remain an individual attribute. IF you really want to eliminate racism stop looking at politicians to end it and return to God and his command to love one another. The LGBTQ+ community and its political enablers is making that more and more difficult with each day. Nevertheless, it is up to us to figure out how to love the sinner and not the sin. The First Amendment is essential and the “establishment clause” is the most essential part of it.
Second: People ALWAYS will vote with their wallets.
If you don’t understand that just ask the folks running Anheuser-Busch, Disney, Target, and California how they’re doing financially. When things become intolerable on an individual level we never wait for political direction on how we should respond. IF we get bad service at Guido’s Garage we don’t go back. If our children are being subjected to social and political ideologies that violate how we are trying to raise them then we remove them from that environment. When a business or government violates our trust and steals our freedom we walk away from it or in the worst case we rebel against it.
Third: Nature and politics abhor a vacuum.
When a vacuum is created in nature it is rapidly filled with the nearest thing available. Extremely deep low pressure areas fill with very warm water and the mixing results in hurricanes. Disinterest and disdain for politics and politicians is met with a host of new politicians who see an opportunity for power and wealth without really having to work to acquire either and because we have become disenchanted with our old politicians we will vote for anyone who is not them and then we let the new politicians have the same free reign and unaccountably as the person we dumped.
Fourth: The least government is the best government.
Our Founders gave us a form of government that was perfect for minimizing institutional governance and maximizing freedom and personal responsibility. It was, in the first instance, a system that allowed change at a very slow pace. The Executive Order has changed all of that — institutionalization of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusiveness along with unlawful and largely unchallenged declarations of public health emergencies has made a wreck of personal freedom and the First Amendment.
SO —
What will you do to correct the course of our ship of state?
Have a great celebration of the sacrifice of those long gone who gave us what is still the freest nation to have ever existed in human history.
