There is a reason the American Left is having trouble pushing Healthcare, Climate Change regulations and every tax scheme and power grab that comes along past the American people. It’s because we’re not Europeans.
That might sound ridiculous at first, but the more you think about it the more it makes sense. The histories over the last two hundred-fifty years are totally different even though there is a shared commonality. Europe spent the better part of three millennia under the rule of one kind of tyrant or another. Be it the monarchs, the dictators or the conquerors Europeans understood they were going to be ruled by SOMEONE.
Americans had a different idea. We redefined ourselves and created our own persona of rugged individualism that drives the Left NUTS! We decided we were NOT going to be ruled, that WE were going to do the ruling of ourselves by people of OUR choosing. We fought for it, we designed it, built it and made it work for two and a half centuries. In that time we have also liberated and defended other nations who wanted to be free, as well and have taken an abhorrent stance against those who choose to oppress their citizens. Americans have known in our hearts that we were NOT going to be ruled by anyone else and we were determined to keep it that way.
And therein lies the problem with Americans. We are not conditioned to being RULED – meaning where we are commanded by a central government through dictates, regulations and controls defining for us how to live our lives – we consequently lack the built in hatred of our leaders the Left needs to foment their movement. If anything, as the central government the Left has tried to impose on the United States has grown more powerful we have grown less trustful of the government and the people who run it. If there is no tsar or king, how can they have a target to overthrow the yoke of oppression and form a perfect workers’ paradise? They can’t. We Americans rule ourselves, so the Left has to make us mad at ourselves for what WE do to have an impact. That has created some SERIOUS hurdles for the Left that they spent the better part of the 20th Century trying to overcome.
Their first step was to demonize all the foundations of the nation. God, patriotism, capitalism, success, freedom, determination, individualism, ruggedness, pioneer spirit… all the characteristics that have made the image of America bright and has attracted hundreds of millions of immigrants the Left has worked hard to tear down or make us feel guilty for feeling. Year after year we have had an unrelenting onslaught of Leftist news stories attacking everything American. Movies, books and even TV shows have leaned toward slowly etching away at the image of America as great. It has been decades since the Old Guard Media has run ANY stories that celebrate the American spirit. So permeated is the media with Leftists trying to shape opinion against America it has become palpable. Our heroes were diminished and replaced by ‘pretty boys and girls’ who spouted the Leftist rhetoric and make it seem noble when the reality was it was cowardly and intended to undermine the American spirit.
The Left realized from the beginning they were going to have to be patient in the United States, that we are different than the rest of the world. Noted leaders in their movement said they knew they could not simply sweep in and overthrow or change the government and install their socialist programs, but they also said they would turn this country socialist in baby-steps. The Left recognized a straight-forward espousing of THEIR agenda would not work in the United States. And they were right. Slowly we Americans have watched our Freedom whittled away as all levels of government have regulated Freedom out of our lives as they conditioned us to being RULED.
It was their attempt to make us hate ourselves that is proving their undoing. For years we Americans were willing to allow our compassions to be played and we were “guilted” into regulations and lifestyles that were totally against the founding of this nation and what we stand for. We allowed the Left to tell us the Constitution had to be a “living, breathing document” rather than the rock of our republic upon which all other legislation must be measured. Allowing ourselves to be sucked into that quagmire has brought us to the brink where we are now literally fighting for our lives.
It is the GREED for the power to rule this country by the Left that is causing the American people to stiffen our resolve to fight back against the Left’s agenda. Poll after poll is showing the growing discontent in the nation, but we don’t need polls to tell us what we are seeing with our own eyes. It is in our very fiber – all the way to our souls – SCREAMING at us that what these Leftists are doing is WRONG.
Is it too late? Is real Freedom gone the way of John Wayne? Have we lost all the leaders who will stand and defend America and our way of life? Some say the answer to that is yes, but I disagree whole-heartedly. The people who have ALWAYS made this nation great are still here. We haven’t gone anywhere and we know how to take back our country. The Left is scared to death of one little word that drives them INSANE every time they hear it. The word: REFORM. They know what it means. It means WE know what they are up to and we’re coming with the long knives to roll back their plans and all the incremental legislation they put in place to turn this country into a socialist state. They know the game is up and we are coming for their jobs.
Americans are a breed unlike any other on the face of this planet – and I consider myself lucky to be counted among their number. Americans have pulled back the curtain and gotten a good, long look at the slimy monster that is the American Left and it sickens us. Americans have awakened and are rediscovering our roots and our Constitution – and that bodes ill for the Left. They may make steps now, but this country is forever changed by Obama and his Leftists minions in Congress. We know who they are, that they lied to us, continue to lie to us and we know NEVER to vote for them again. We’re not Europeans shaped by a history of being RULED, we are Americans shaped by a history of FREEDOM. The Left and its greed for power is its own undoing.
