One Nation, Under (Several) gods, Will Surely be Divided
Every child in America, at some point, has heard the words: “As long as you are living under my roof, you will abide by my rules.” As a child, it’s super annoying, but once a parent, paying bills, getting groceries, repairing broken appliances, etc., one quickly comes to the same conclusion as one’s parents—my roof, my rules. Well, the U.S. Constitution is supposed to be the unifying law that binds Americans together. Serving several “gods”, however, will be our national undoing.
ONE UNIFYING DOCTRINE
My mother used to tell me: “I hope you have children just like you.” Now, I know why she said that. It’s only when one becomes a parent that one understands the wisdom of the My Roof, My Rules doctrine. Why? Because at its essence it is a doctrine of unity. It’s a doctrine that acts as a guardrail for civility. In as much as parents are not elected by their children, I’m sure you understand where I’m going. When laws are broken, America has a system of remedies for those occasions. When laws need to be revisited, America has a system to deal with that. The Founding Fathers of this durable Republic drew the framework within which we are to govern ourselves. It’s called The U.S. Constitution. Our Founding Fathers agreed that there was one God; one ultimate Ruler from whom we have our being and from Whom our rights are derived. They agreed that God, in His infinite wisdom bestowed upon man “certain inalienable rights, among them are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Those have been the binding glue that has held the Republic together. Unfortunately, we have become a nation under many gods with many doctrines and many fluid understandings of what liberty is.
WHAT MAKES AMERICA, AMERICA?
What comes to your mind when you hear the 1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment, or the Electoral College? Or what about the meaning of being a man or a woman? These are some of the basic tenets that make America—America. But now, we have elected officials that no longer believe these Rights (truths) are essential for America. Our freedom of speech is being bombarded by leftist Democrats that no longer believe in our freedom of speech. In fact, members of Congress are calling on Tech giants to censor more speech. Their excuse? Hate speech and misinformation must be stopped at all costs. Why? Because when the people voice opinions that Democrats don’t like or seem like dissent, they feel the need to censor that speech. Recently, The New York Times admitted that the Hunter Biden laptop story was authentic. Why come to that conclusion now? Because Biden is in office but many Americans want a do-over. However, when we dig deeper we find that Hunter Biden’s malfeasance in Ukraine would have derailed Joe Biden’s chances to win the 2020 Presidential election. Several recent polls confirm that had people known about Hunter Biden’s laptop story, they would have never voted for Joe Biden. So, when Twitter, Facebook, and Google banned talking about that story, they knew exactly what they were doing. Crushing free speech because getting rid of Donald Trump was more important than following our Laws.
In Chicago, we have the most stringent gun laws in America. Yet, it is the capital for murders with guns. Our Founding Fathers knew having a gun to defend oneself was essential for living in a free country. Yet, people like Joe Biden, AOC, and others want to make it near impossible for Americans to own a firearm. However, those very same people cheered when the President of Ukraine, Zelensky, handed out AK47s to every man, woman, and child that could shoot to protect their homeland, they cheered.
If you haven’t noticed, everything is racist now. I mean EVERYTHING. Math is racist. Voter I.D. is racist. And, the electoral college is racist. So, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Rep. NY), figures that handing over America’s unilateral election decisions to California, San Francisco, Manhattan, and New York is best for America.
Nevermind the fact that our Founding Fathers knew that if they didn’t provide a way for less populated States like S. Dakota, Kansas, and Arkansas to have a representative voice in our national elections, the country would be handed over to the most populated States in the Union. Even President Joe Biden said the Amendments are not absolute. An absurdity such as, according to Twitter, a biological man (one Y chromosome and one X chromosome) may call himself a woman (who biologically has two XX chromosomes). Can someone rescue me from Bizarro World? Half this country was okay with giving Biden’s assistant secretary of health to be counted among the Women of the Year.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Why am I pointing these out? When our very own elected officials, no longer believe that our country should abide by the U.S. Constitution, in a way they are saying that they don’t care that mom and dad are paying the bills and providing a roof over our heads, the house and all that is in the house should be ruled solely by the majority. In other words, they want mob rule to govern America. I for one don’t want to live in a country ruled by California and New York. I don’t want to live in a country where I’m not allowed to defend my life, my family, and my home. Since Democrats feel the need to censor free speech and take away guns from law-abiding citizens, perhaps it is time for a peaceful divorce? Perhaps, it is time to allow Democrats to rule Democrats and Republicans to rule Republicans. I know it sounds very Un-American, but taking away the very things that make America, America is just as Un-American. Let’s allow Democrats to flood their states with illegal aliens. Let Democrats ban their citizens from owning firearms. Let Democrats ruin their lives by choosing winners and losers. I for one like America the way our Founding Fathers conceived it: ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
