Don’t be seduced by the dark side!!!
There is a political movement that has been around since Woodrow Wilson was president and it called progressivism. Now progressivism sound innocuous, but it is anything but. There is a dark side to it, or should I say that is the only side to it.
Progressivism is based in ethical humanism, which sounds good until you dive deeper into the issue and see what they base their ideas on. In short humanism is based on the evolutionary idea that man is just another animal, and mankind is it’s own highest authority. They believe they can have heaven on earth through the state, and that everyone is equal and all ideas (if they agree with their authoritarian ideas) are of equal value and that there is no good or evil.
This is why most freedom and liberty loving Americans can wrap their minds around ethical humanism, because humanism rejects the notion of individual liberty and freedom!!! The state is the end all be all of ordered society!!!

Can virtues and morals coexist with humanism?
Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America (1835/1840) is one of the books on my reading list. I have read a few chapters and some important point that Tocqueville has made in the book and it is amazing the clarity of thought that Tocqueville has when critiquing the American democracy (Republic) as he traveled around our new nation.
What struck me most in an article I read Tocqueville and Democracy’s Fall in America at thepublicdiscourse.com was his forewarning of our Republics fall if we failed to keep morals, virtue, and equality in their proper places. Tocqueville also spoke of ethics based on what the body politic wanted at the time and that could change in the future and cause the lines of distinction to be blurred on a whole host of things, especially equality.
We all stand equal before God and the law, and what we do with that equality is what defines us and makes us different from each other!!!

Personal Responsibility
One of the things I have seen as a common theme throughout all the protest that have been taking place,is lack of personal responsibility!!! During the primaries, people flocked to Bernie Sanders because they wanted free stuff and didn’t want the responsibility of securing those things they wanted through hard work and determination!!!
The mobs of unruly thugs over this past weekend prove that people are mad because they see in president Trump, a man who wants them to work for what they have, and not simply have it given to them!!!
The women’s march this past weekend also shows that a small percentage of women (because they don’t represent the vast majority of right thinking women) don’t want to be responsible for their personal choices, and use abortion to try to correct bad behavior. Two wrongs have never made a right and never will.
Until we help one another to return to a God centered, morally-oriented life that preserves and protects freedoms and liberty for everyone, including babies in the womb, this great Republic will fail and the so called rights that these socially irresponsible individuals protest for, will be theirs and this Republic’s undoing!!!

Do you know what you stand for?
There were a lot of protester at the marches over the weekend that did not have a clue as to why they were there. Some folks could not articulate their reasons for marching, only that they were mad at something.
These folks I believe are the professional protesters that come out and are sometimes paid to do so, and cause problems just by being there. For the most part all of the video I saw showed a lot of the people at the marches had no clue about the issues, or worse yet were there because of “fake news” stories that had been debunked days and weeks before, but they didn’t get the memo.
I believe in peaceful protesting, but I also believe you need to know what your protesting and be able to give answer for you actions that is coherent and articulate!!!

Hypocrisy abounds on the left!!!
We were treated to the open display and disdain the left has for reasonable and inclusive protest this past Saturday. The Women’s march (which did not include pro-life women because they were dis-invited) included a muslim women who supports sharia law, A leading black feminist who speaks on women’s issues and prison reform – is a convicted murderer and kidnapper, a singer who wants to blow up the White House, and an actress who is a nasty women.
Most of the women who attended were dressed up as a woman’s vagina, or wore pink hats on their heads that represented a woman’s vagina. And the worst part was some women used their young daughters as political props during these protest.
One last note was the amount of trash these women on the left threw on the ground and left behind for sanitation workers to clean up!!! Don’t these progressive women care about the enviroment also!!!

The Don of a new era!!!
The title of the show is not original to me, two of New York cities newspapers had the same headline and picture with this title. Donald John Trump is the 45th president of the Untied States, and everything went smooth during this transition of power. The crowds were pretty big and the atmosphere around the inauguration was enthusiastic!!!
My hope is that president Trump will govern closer to how the constitution would have him govern. My hope is that he will not abuse the power of his office and always consult our constitution and constitutional laws as he sets out on his presidency!!!

The unruly left
One of the cornerstones of our Republic is the peoples right to assemble and protest our government without fear of reprisals from the same government. Free speech is a major part of redressing grievances we have with our government, and this often takes place in peaceful protest.
Project Veritas has exposed the left once again. In a series of undercover videos, they have caught leftist operatives talking about ways in which they plan to disrupt President Trump’s inauguration, and the festivities that will follow.
And folks this will not be the end of the antics of the left in this country. This is only the beginning and I think things will get much worse in the days, weeks, and month ahead!!!
