It’s official. It is now illegal to be a conservative in America.
My belief of what a conservative is?
1) A belief in popular soviernty.
2) As much self reliance as possible.
3) As much personal freedom as practical.
4) And the freedom to be allowed to excel or fail as I go about living my life as I see fit.
Should you dare call for a return of power to the citizens from the ever growing government, you will shortly be served with a subpoena. Power tends to promote more power. No one gives it up willingly.
Should you exercise your right of freedom of association, like with, say a conservative political action committee, your tax returns, your emails and even you phone calls may be exposed. Their ends justify their means.
Should you choose not to vote for a black man who advocates socialism, you will be labeled a racist, not a capitalist. (Although both words are pejorative, lately.)
Should you vote against Hillary, you are called a sexist; but if you vote for a conservative woman, Palin, you are called a Nazi?
Should you speak out for the rule of law taking precedence over the wave of illegal immigrants pouring over the southern border, you are called xenophobic.
Should you write a letter imploring your representative to allow for our nation to fully utilize its national recourses in order to stabilize our energy prices, you are called anti-environment. Or (God forbid) anti-green.
In some communities, it is illegal to display the American flag
In most schools, the pledge of allegiance is not recited.
The radio talk show that you may enjoy listening to, may soon be effectively outlawed by our government.
The home that you live in may be taken from you in order to elevate the local tax base.
We are scolded by a presidential nominee that if we choose to be independent or Republican; his partisans have every right to “get in our faces.”
The system that built the most prosperous nation in history is now being socialized; directly traced to our government’s corruption; and no one seems to care.
We now have laws that restrict the amount of money you can donate to your political party. Or what amounts to: the incumbent protection act.
Election fraud is becoming more and more obvious; and no one reports about it.
We have a small percentage of a major religion who feels perfectly justified in murdering innocents-to make a political point-and our media simply makes excuses for them.
The Democrats, who were elected on a promise to “clean-up” Washington, are implicated in dozens of corruption schemes, and no one investigates.
The first Republican woman in history has been nominated. Rather than celebrate this event, our press has launched a full scale investigation-not unlike the election of 2000-into every bit of this woman’s life. From her private e-mails to her tax returns, to her political associations and even to her family’s private concerns, no stone is unturned. They seek to destroy her. And no one cares.
And even more laughable; there is nothing remotely comparable for those who run for office on the political left.
I’m sick of the whole mess. I’m sick of being criminalized for my politics.
Next it will be illegal to worship as I choose. That is coming. It seems almost everything else that challenges government is headed in that direction.
To butcher a quote from someone a lot wiser than me…”Tyranny gains a foothold, when good men do nothing to stop it.”
Or
We deserve the government we allow to rule us.
That must change or the world will miss the noble experiment that is America.
I see no one taking our place.
