If we apply the left’s logic to themselves, i.e., if you don’t denounce something, you support it, then the failure of the Dems and the media to denounce Ellison means that they support the ideas in this book.

I get so tired of the term, “the far right”

The originating documents of our country are the starting point.

While it is possible to move to the right of what is enumerated in the Constitution, EVERY move since our country’s founding has been towards the left.

We are not “Alt-Right” and we are not “Far-Right”. We are “Originalists” or “Constitutionalists”. /rant

No matter what one calls collectivism it is always a perceived fight between the haves and have nots. In America the European philosophies break apart on the bedrock of the American Constitution and Free Enterprise.

As Rand would say, Antifa, check your premises. Marxism was designed to foment revolution by the proles against the ruling class. In America We The People are the ruling class. We accomplish this by participating in Free Enterprise and through the Ballot Box, our most precious Right (however poorly recognized and exercised by the citizenry). On Election Day Every American is equal through the sanctity and integrity of the ballot box. Every vote cast is equal in weight and stature from the poorest to the wealthiest of us. From the Atheist to the most Reverent. If there are problems in America then avail yourself of means of change universally recognized, cheered, and encouraged by all Americans, Run for Office and state your case in the light of day before all and may the best ideas win.

The other false premise is to underestimate how truly proud the average American is to be blessed to be an American. To be an American is and should be the greatest prize to be won, cherished, protected, and desired among all the nation’s of the world. The only thing that is more dear to a human being is the privilege of knowing and having a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Given this unique place among all the citizens of the world, and bring endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, Antifa would be greatly remiss to underestimate the steadfast commitment to Freedom under The Constitution of The United States of America the citizens of our great nation hold dear to their hearts. To try to tear down that Constitution and the Flag that Represents it would be and forever is a great mistake. If you cannot believe this just attend a High School graduation, a NASCAR race, a little league football, baseball, soccer, basketball game. Attend any of the professional sporting venues to see the exercise of rugged individualism on display, attend any PGA tournament to see free Enterprise and the rewards for excellence celebrated by admiring fans.

Collectivism is a second rate system designed by those in society that choose to whine and complain about the lot in life they choose to live in while seeking like minded failures who will agree to go along thinking the next loser has a better scam they can cash in on. It sounds good if one can keep the illusory thought that the leader of the effort will be the one cashing the checks, but remember if your system wins someone will still have to carry out the trash. Hence the sticky wicket, let’s not speak of this inconvenient truth though. Also remember, in the French Revolution they took the heads of state and church but when the collectivist leaders couldn’t bake bread, the Antifa’ites turned on the new leaders. Good luck with your efforts, but wouldn’t it be easier to get busy being known for the content of your character and earning the respect of your fellow citizens in order to truly right the remaining wrongs in our society for the generations to follow. Now that would be change we could believe in! MAGA!
