This Election There’s Only One Choice

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

As the last four years have made it clear: If you love America, there’s only one option on November 3, 2020.

This election is not about the left versus the right or Republicans versus Democrats.

The 2020 presidential race is between a man, President Trump, who unapologetically loves America and believes she is good--and an empty shell of a man, Joe Biden, controlled by a movement that believes America is bad.

As Thomas Klingenstein, Chairman of the Claremont Institute alluded to in an excellent speech posted to YouTube, which inspired this column, the Democratic Party exists today in name only; the same group that controls Biden also controls the party at large. Biden and Democrats succumbed to a neo-Marxist revolutionary movement whose goal is to destroy America, her culture and traditions, as soon as possible and by any means possible.

Joe Biden is a convenient means to their end.

The Democratic Party is now the Black Lives Matter/Antifa movement, and the Black Lives Matter/Antifa [BLM] movement is the Democratic Party. There are no Democrats; there are only BLM-Democrats.

And who are the BLM-Democrats today? BLM-Democrats divide and lump people into identity groups based on ethnicity, gender, race, sexual preference, and so on. Rather than hard work and personal achievement, they redistribute power and wealth using physical and political force. They silence opposition, seize guns and shutter churches. They erase borders, foster sanctuary cities, implement socialism, pack courts and obliterate the rule of law.

Biden’s BLM-Democrats seek to destroy all institutions that foster traditional American values and principles. During the Biden-riots, they demolished all statues, not just the Confederate ones -- to erase our past. Be warned: They will destroy churches and synagogues next, along with the traditional family and the scientific (and Biblical) definition of male and female, and with them, our future.

Biden and his BLM-Democrats want to change the way we see ourselves, so they tell us we’re irredeemably bad, sinful, racist -- because we love America and long to make her great. But those who love America can’t help it -- it’s human nature to want who or what you love to prosper.

Those who love America are patriotic, with no apologies necessary. This patriotism stems from a belief America is fundamentally good, not bad, or systematically racist, like BLM-Democrats claim.

We proudly state: “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands; one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

We do not take a knee in protest. Nor do we bow before other humans in repentance for our skin color or sins we did not commit.

We are inclusive; colorblindness is the rule, not the exception: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights: that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness…”

We are not many cultures; we are one. Therefore, we believe there are no black Americans or white Americans or hyphenated Americans, just American-Americans sharing common ideals and surrounded by rights outlined in the U.S. Constitution.

We refuse to dwell on the past and look toward the future, believing the American way of life we embrace promises freedom for all. Freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and freedom of, not from, religion. We hold dear to this undeniable truth: Hard work and personal success lead to self-reliance and prosperity if you’re willing to work for it.

Joe Biden recently said he doesn’t look or act like a radical. Not yet, but give him or his handlers six months, and this country will look radically different.

And then there is Trump. A man of many faults, but someone equipped with exactly what we need to get us through these most uncertain and unprecedented times. He’s courageous, has common sense, is colorblind, and is committed to America. Trump unapologetically loves America and will fight to save us from radical BLM-Democrats.

The choice is clear: Either you are with us or against America.
