Leading in the Right Direction
President’s Corner
Preserving America
Having just celebrated July 4th & America 250, we must not just move on, but rather consider what comes next. Our history is the foundation of American society. America has always been united by our shared understanding of our past, the three values that formed our Republic and made it the greatest county on earth. We find these etched on our coins. Our motto, E Pluribus Unum (out of many one), In God We Trust, and Liberty. The stories we tell about ourselves and the heroes we choose to honor matter. They shape how we Americans see ourselves and what we are willing to fight for.
When others choose to distort or erase these stories, the cultural glue that binds us together begins to dissolve. As Ronald Reagan so aptly stated, “If we forget what we did, we won’t know who we are.” Then he asked, “Are we doing a good enough job teaching our children what America is and what she represents in the long history of the world?” When we observe the Democrat Party, the answer is NO!
Powerful forces within that party pose a grave threat to our Republic. Democrats seek to distort our history framing it not as a story of liberty and progress but as one of oppression and injustice. Their insidious aim is to undermine our confidence and indoctrinate our children. They would dismiss the heroic efforts of our Founding Fathers, the battles that were fought, and the lives that were sacrificed in order to form a “more perfect union.” Democrats reject our history of selflessly fighting wars abroad to end fascism, communism, and totalitarianism. Recently they have cheered on Iranian threats to kill our president. Instead of condemning this the Democrats seem to be OK with America living under the shadow of a nuclear Iran who chants Death to America as long as they eliminate President Trump!
Anti-American narratives abound from Democrat candidates. The Democratic Socialists of America have grown to over 120,000 and have an absurd platform which calls for the dismantling of our form of government and its three branches. Instead they want a global community and the complete end to our Federal Constitutional Republic. Previous open borders and corrupt immigration policies have brought in millions of people who do not wish to assimilate but rather seek to undermine our country.
We face a growing threat of cultural fragmentation as this lack of assimilation has produced communities that are disconnected from our shared national identity. We see huge amounts of theft, fraud, and abuse by immigrants who take advantage of our generous government programs enabled by corrupt politicians who worship power and money over country.
For any country to endure it must maintain control over who enters its territory, and those that do must embrace its values. The concept of the “Melting Pot” is being replaced by cultural pluralism, where a society can exist without requiring assimilation. As the saying goes,” a country divided against itself cannot stand!
What are we to do? We must turn out to vote in the midterms in huge numbers. We must get this message out to everyone we can. We must support President Trump’s efforts to finish the border wall, and to support ICE’s efforts to deport illegals. We must demand indictments of anyone who breaks our laws. We must fight to elect to our state & to congress only true American patriots who love our country, honor our laws, and truly commit to defend our country from ALL threats, foreign and domestic! I hope you all voted or plan to do so before July 21st. Next let’s focus on the midterms!
