LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Regular folk want to live their lives, prospering their businesses and families without a lot of “expert” interference from bureaucrats who reject traditional wisdom because it’s not progressive. Unfortunately for us regular folk, there is no indication that the experts ever intend to relent. The experts are aggressively fixing things that ain’t broke, as if they were smart phone updaters. Unlike the usual suspects; I’ve been quiet for a year, because yes, Ms Hull, I did vote for this and will be happy to see a lot more of the same...not as you characterize it, but as it has really come about. I won’t repeat last year’s writing on the absence of a Biblical case for uncontrolled immigration, the phony “Border Security & Combating Fentanyl Act”, misuse of taxation, or misunderstanding of economics, biology and nature but reiterate the questions: “Why would we ascribe any credibility to people who quote the Bible and the Constitution when they understand nor support the wisdom in either?” “Why do you believe anyone who promotes policy as “protecting the children” when they promote trafficking of unaccompanied minors, unlimited abortion and the attendant organ harvesting, transgenderism, which seems to be a globalist scheme to limit population growth, and turn public education over to Marxist bureaucrats, not a few of whom are anti-family practitioners of perversion?” Progressives has been hostile to the Founders’ Constitutional vision since before Woodrow Wilson. They believe it needs to be supplanted by experts who have studied science and know better than myth-believing religious people. History has proven the Founders correct in that we mortals are not angels and require checks and balances on our decisions. More recently, we have learned from the Covid19 pandemic that a higher scientific education is no guarantee of ethical morality.

I gently remind all that the Democrat administration coordinated with the legacy media, leftist oligarchs and globalists to sideline the former President while they ran the government with shadowy autopen empowered insiders and un-Democratically selected as his replacement the least popular participant in their party primary, along with her Chinese Communist party favorite running mate, Tim Walz. Almost all have openly proven their animosity toward Christians, traditionalists, the pro-American movement and support for all anti-Americans. Daily, from Daily, from whistle-blowers we are having the criminal conspiracies confirmed that have been perpetrated over the past few years from the treason with Russia to the contrived January 6, 2020 “insurrection” hoax. They are now engaged in running out the clock on many well-deserved prosecutions, trusting in the naivete of the American people they hope will believe the lawyers proclaiming none guilty until they are heard in a court of law, regardless of how many times their hand picked judges refuse to hear solid evidence. Some normal people want to ignore the criminality, longing for a return to American unity, but unity is not a first thing. Unity only comes after a people find common values to unify around, as in honesty to start.

Everyone likes to think of themselves as righteous and upright. Christians and Jews recognize their failures and confess their sin to a merciful God, refining their righteousness. They believe the Biblical doctrine that all mankind was created by God and carries His image, thus are deserving of respect. Acts 10:34 ...”In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.” A path that admits all is the only one that can lead to unity. Progressives count themselves righteous because their progressivism is their religion, needing no guidance from God. Because they are of the Left, they have no need of forgiveness and along with the Islamists, think it righteous to lie and abuse unbelievers and opponents. Both regularly demonize Christians, Jews, white people, and MAGA supporters, and paradoxically expect unity, which would actually mean capitulation. Europe is further along in backlash against the conflict of values caused by uncontrolled immigration from Islamic countries almost to the point of civil war. EU cities often have Muslim mayors, no-go neighborhoods and New York City is about to follow. This is not racism... Islam is not a race; it is an incompatible culture fundamentally at odds with Western Civilization. Currently, with lies, violence and criminal behavior directed toward the Lefts’ opposition, situational ethics is the only kind we have.

The legislation that comes out of Congress, often with support from agents of both parties, while it’s labeled with great sounding names are anything but the name presented for public consumption. The bills’ incompleteness suits the laziness and desire to avoid accountability of both parties. Remember Nancy Pelosi, upon delivering the Obamacare bill, saying in words to the effect, “Well, we had to pass the bill to find out what was in it!?” The bills are passed, then entrenched administrative bureaucracies go to work on the detailed rules they will impose on the public, disregarding the Constitution. They have the benefit of then having their own magistrates decide challenges to them. Even though ignorance of the law is guaranteed by such a system, it is still no excuse and you are subject to losing your property and livelihood over it, and possibly custody of your children.

The Democrat administration created the border crisis and are desperate to maintain it. Because they are losing support in the constituencies they thought they had locked up; they desperately need to import new populations of poorer, uneducated and easily manipulated voters. Completely ignoring its attendant costs and their responsibility for the crushing inflation we’re experiencing, they are currently insisting on restoring Biden level spending. This time many non-essential political patronage jobs and un-productive bureaucracies may go on the chopping block. Driven by emotion rather than reason, progressives do not support military, police and fire who only interfere in their maniacal destruction of our way of life. Contrary to reason, they support lawless behaviour.
