Question: if liberals think the USA is so terrible, why are they encouraging illegal immigrants to come into our country in the first place?
If these liberals feel so oppressed under our system, culture, and this president, Shouldn’t these liberals be the ones seeking asylum for themselves in other countries? (Please, do! Or, since they call these immigrants “brave”, are they really just admitting their own cowardice?)
This proves to me their concern isn’t ultimately for the welfare of those they are encouraging to come here by any means necessary. Their concern is merely recruiting voters for their cause by bribery. Or something akin to that.
If these leftist, socialist, liberals believe the USA never was great and it can only be great if and when it is “fundamentally changed” into a bloated bureaucracy that taxes the rich to give to the entitlement-minded poor, why don’t they just as openly and readily admit they hate the fundamental principles that made America the exceptionally great country we constitutionalists claim of it?
What are those fundamentals?
“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.”
It is self-evident that leftists don’t agree with any of this, except, perhaps, that it is historical. When they say America was never great, we must assume they also refer to this milestone in mankind’s experience.
Leftist liberals reject and despise each of the fundamental (and self-evident) truths as codified in our founding documents.
They despise the God-given gift of life by claiming unborn babies -with beating hearts no less- are nothing but a blob of tissue. They do this in order to preserve an irresponsible lifestyle that elevates the act of sex above responsibility for its consequences. Doing so puts their own “rights” above those of others. Note that the quote says “all men are created equal; that *they* are endowed by their Creator”. By speaking in the third person “they”, it emphasizes the recognition of other people’s rights, not just our own. For leftists, instead, it is all about “I, me, mine”.
Case in point: contrary to leftists, an unborn baby isn’t part of a woman’s body anymore than a parasitic worm would be. “They” the unborn, by having been given a life of their own, also have unalienable rights bestowed by God which rights are alienated by leftists.
Next, Leftists don’t believe in liberty. They despise it. If that wasn’t true they wouldn’t be so concerned with policing and thereby destroying free speech, they would despise any attempts at imposing only politically correct speech. Wanting to dictate how people think is not liberty, rather, its the opposite. Leftists love the opposite of liberty. Leftists love oppression as long as they are the oppressors!
Leftists also despise the concept of the personal pursuit of happiness. What they have to replace it with can best be described as “collective happiness”. In other words “their” happiness, certainly not those of us who don’t appreciate their godless worldview. For us they have antifa. If we don’t conform to their way of thinking, they are bound and determined to make us anything but happy!
Which leads to my last two points- Leftists don’t believe in The Creator anymore than they believe in our unalienable rights given to us by Him. Thus they want to play God so they can appear to be the benevolent bestowers and protectors of our lives, and any liberty we may be “privileged” by them to have (as opposed to our rights), and even define for us what should make us happy.
In other words, leftists won’t ever be happy without themselves being the masters in the oppressive slave culture that we conservatives have been battling since at least the American Revolution. The leftist idea of the pursuit of happiness is to pursue destroying the right’s idea of their pursuit of happiness!
And that is why thinking people are walking away (#WalkAway) from the left.
And that’s why the rest of us say, “America, love it or leave it”, because we do love it, and for you leftists to “fundamentally change” it, you would have to become the oppressor you outwardly claim to despise, and nobody likes a two-faced, double-standard, hypocrite!
At least, that’s how I see it.
Question: if liberals think the USA is so terrible... (

FOR PREPARING OUR DEFENSE WITH MAXIMUM EFFORT !!
A nation can be in just one of three possible states of affairs.
First, a nation can be at war, in an existential struggle, using all of its resources to survive.
To survive such an embattled state of affairs, a nation must continually prepare its defense.
Next, a nation can be preparing its defense with maximum effort by using all of its available resources to increase and to improve its infrastructure and its most important resource, its people, whose health and education are essential and can be improved most surely by providing free healthcare and free, expense-paid education for all. Such preparation of defense needs maximum Congressional spending, which needs a maximum effort to prevent inflation, which needs adequate taxation of disposable income without taxation of non-disposable income, which needs adequate and steeply progressive federal income tax rates.
Such a provident nation is most prepared to survive an embattled state of affairs.
Finally, a nation can be preparing its defense but with a LESS than maximum effort to increase and improve its infrastructure, NOT providing free health care and free, expense-paid education for all, being more concerned with budget deficits and tax relief for the wealthy and their heirs while mired in idleness, poverty, addiction, trafficking, crime, and mass worker incarceration.
Such an improvident nation (ours!) is ill-prepared to survive an embattled state of affairs.
Voters who oppose free healthcare and expense-paid education for all, including trade schools for workers, guarantee that we will have the shortages of skilled labor that cause inflation and the military recruiting shortages that weaken our defense. Their votes against maximum Congressional spending guarantee deficient infrastructure and destructive poverty, yielding a sub-optimal defense that risks our survival from an embattled state of affairs.
All voters should understand that the provident nation is not only the most prepared nation but also the most prosperous nation because, while producing the largest federal tax revenue, it also generates the largest annual budget deficit, which is exactly equal to the sum of our annual trade deficit plus our net annual private savings. That sum represents our nation’s consumption of goods plus its after-tax earnings, a source of investment for growth. Thus, that sum is proportional to our prosperity, that which trumps all taxes and sustains our social health, perhaps the most important element of our defense.
So, preparing our defense with maximum effort is also our best economic policy, as proven by the decades of post-war prosperity created by our huge World War II deficit spending on salaries that were saved as “War Bonds” that were eventually cashed in for homes, cars, and kids, creating all the great suburbs that since exist all over America. Ask Granny for details!
Voters must choose the state of affairs their grandchildren will inherit. May they choose well!
