OPINION

Traitors to the Cause

It is often said in speeches everywhere that America as a nation is unique because she is not a monolithic homogeneous identity but rather an idea.

She is rooted in core principles that defied the norms of tyranny and laid out confirmation of divine truths: all men are created equal, certain inalienable rights, and self determination.

For the length of time that she has stood as a beacon of hope to the rest of the globe it is the idea that a sovereign America is a place of good and serves as a force for good that has set her apart. 

As history has passed the idea of American exceptionalism has been pitted against ideas that directly contend with her. Collectivism, Nazism, Socialism, Communism, Islamism, and more have attacked her directly. In many ways they still do.

The presidential contest of 2024 is merely the most recent example. 

Gone are the days when the leading Democrat in the nation would reinforce the American idea by challenging her citizens to ask what they could do for their country. No. Today we endure the leading voices from the Democratic Party lacing the electorates oxygen with fumes of envy, discontent, jealousy, anger and violence. 

Kamala Harris wants voters to believe that America is a place where people get goodies from government thus robbing them of the opportunity to self determine, affirm their inalienable rights and rights express themselves in the fully equal ways God intended and our founders affirmed. 

Americas founders knew deeply the tyranny of a ruling class. They saw the potential of corruption, probability of failure, and the promise of destruction if the idea ceased being what she was designed to be.  

She is on the verge of disappearing. 

Not for the reasons the legacy media would have you believe however.

They wish for you to believe that a single person is attempting to destroy that democratic ideaeven though theyve made little to no mention that it is the nominee for the opposite party who was installed thus preventing democracy.

They wish for you to believe that her voting record either did not exist (denying factual reality) or that she has suddenly transformed into this inexplicably opposite person in the course of 49 days (inventing fantasy.)

They wish for you to believe that her lack of experience in running so much as a lemonade stand has no bearing on whether she could run the worlds most important economy, guide its most important military, and be successful in pushing Americas interests in the biggest global conflicts in history.

They even wish for you to believe that the woman who has the highest burn and churn rate in public office for staffers and their short-lived terms of employment under her has suddenly transformed herself into a magnanimous people person who cares.

In truth America asthat precious ideais on its last lifeline, and the media are asking you as a voter to abort her in her hour of deepest peril.

And why?

Because her opponent seeks to revive American greatness, exceptionalism, prosperity, safety and (most importantly) opportunity for all.

Everyone of her policies has endangered America.

His entire focus while in office was the lifting up of all Americans.

And they hate him for it.

That American idea is bemoaned in government, academic, cultural, educational, and entertainment circles. That America must be put to death for the Obamaesque utopia of regressive socialism to be allowed to come about.

There is no contest between America when she is true to herself and any of the other isms one can proffer.

But let this be said, heard and understood by all: a vote for Harris is a vote against America.

It doesnt matter if youre a former leader in republican circles. Based on everything that is factually known about Harris, Walz, the current Democratic platform, and their candidates for Senate, House, and dog catcherif you vote for themyou are a traitor to that idea. 

An imperfect idea, but it is an idea that bests all others at this stage of history. 

There is nothing shameful about this idea, it is based on divine principles, and it has done more good than any other nation in our planets history.

And if you call yourself an American then it should be the guiding light of how we proceed for the entire world is made better when we do. 

No apologies, no looking back  America first  full stop.
