Will Americans Repudiate 1776 in 2020?
American Thinker.com ^ | July 4, 2020 | Deane Waldman

Before the Revolutionary War, residents of the North American colonies were subjects of the British crown. They were entitled to whatever goods and services the aristocracy allowed. Their living conditions and daily activities were determined by government fiat. They paid taxes arbitrarily imposed by the crown.

In 1776, the Founders of the U.S.A. rejected centralized dominion and replaced it with a structure that took control away from the central government and gave it to the individual. The new Americans were free to make their own choices and accept the consequences of their decisions, good or bad. Without using the word capitalism, the Founders created a capitalist system. The new Americans were personally responsible and were entitled to nothing, except an open road.

Entitlement is an integral part of socialism, an economic and political system where the means of production, distribution, and exchange is regulated by the government. The government is responsible for these activities, not the individual. The individual is entitled to whatever goods and services the government allocates.

Policies advocated by the current Democrat party and its presidential standard bearer, Joe Biden, repudiate the Founders’ capitalist vision intending to replace it with socialism and entitlement. Is that what Americans in 2020 want?

Democrats proclaim that Americans are entitled to free healthcare, free housing, free education, as well as government protection from grasping capitalist banks and avaricious corporate CEOs. Americans are not entitled to energy derived from fossil fuels, nor to certain private properties, such as private health insurance or excessive income, with “excessive” defined by Washington.

As used by socialist Democrats, the word “free” does not translate as no cost. It means no charge to the individual at the time of service or activity. Their proposed entitlements are very, very expensive, costing trillions of dollars.

Current voters might do so, but that’s not the same as “Americans” doing so.

the Democrats were raised on SLAVES, and
never left their SLAVE MENTALITY, which
they project everywhere else.

Democrats do not deserve slaves in 2020.

They deserve jail for attempting it.

Our Communist 5th column will.

To paraphrase a line from "Jurassic Park".

Normal Americans won’t. Traitorous shitlib rats will.

There can be no reconciliation. There is no peaceful solution to any of this.

The demonRat leaders can never, never, ever move past a “racist America.”

If they do, their livelihoods are over.

Conservative voters chant “USA, USA, USA” at public gatherings.

Demonrat voters chant “Me all day, Me all day, Me all day” in theirs.

We vote for the country, they vote for themselves.

We are witnessing a new civil war. The lines demographically and geographically are drawn.

Citizens will not. The fresh 600,000 H1bs granted entry will.

It is a replay of Madrid in July 1936; the Christian middle class supporting the police & military against the atheist leftists - and the leftists had just won the election. Donald Trump is for Americans, but Congress and the Supreme Court for the most part are aligned with the leftists. He had to defeat both parties to win the White House, and has paid for it ever since - the rest of government simply will not let him implement the agenda supported by his voters.
