The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
This is nothing more than Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer spoken by a degenerate apparatchik who stumbled upon his turn at the ultimate political trough of power and graft. Biden has no coherent political philosophy other than the overwhelming desire for power over others, and that is a stark, obvious, axiomatic contrast with the founding principles of The United States of America.
Ignoring the mediocre writing and the angry, one dimensional and hectoring tone, it is an image of a country that is a complete departure from that which most Americans desire. We still hang on to the vestiges of American Exceptionalism, and one of its tenets -- perhaps its bedrock -- is individualism. From that springs the revolutionary concept of freedom from the control of others and the liberty to act in one's own best interest.
I want to be very clear up front: not every Republican is a MAGA Republican. Not every Republican embraces that extreme ideology. I know because I've been able to work with mainstream Republicans my whole career. But the extreme MAGA Republicans in Congress have chosen to go backwards, full of anger, violence, hate and division. But together, we can and we must choose a different path forward. No, I really mean it. We have to. The future of unity, of hope, of optimism. We're going to choose to build a better America! A better America!
The overt calls for an emotive and amorphous change in America is chilling in its focus on the body politic as unified. It is hugely important to the structure of our political process that we are not unified. We are a constitutional republic, and the rights of the minority are carefully protected. The dismissal and vilification of that minority (even granting that the Biden junta won) is simply a call for the destruction of our country as founded.
Sadly, that political minority...the people we elected to represent and defend our interests...have abrogated all responsibility for the preservation of the political structure that is designed to protect our freedom. Instead of mounting a vigorous defense of that structure, and a rousing frontal attack on the Biden junta's attempts at destroying our freedoms, they triangulate and obfuscate and play tactical political games for short-term success, ignoring the existential danger to our republic.
The really pathetic part of this sordid and disgusting chapter in our history is that it would be so very, very easy to present to the American people an alternative to our descent into socialist, communitarian hell. A simple explanation of why government control is sucking the liberty out of our country, replete with examples from around the world is too complicated for our current crop of politicians? Any reasonably well-read adult should be able to defend free markets and our constitution with very little effort.
That McConnell and McCarthy are not in front of the cameras every single day, dismantling every socialist program that the junta proposes or rams down our throats is a clear indication of their true political philosophy...that of corrupt grifters who seek personal power and wealth over any other goal...including the freedom of the American people.
