When it comes to traditional American values, when it comes to the Constitution, when it comes to American exceptionalism and the free market, and America standing up in the world as a beacon for freedom and hope...he is the absolute worst President in the history of this nation.
When it comes to his own plans, goals, and ideologogical outlook...which is the antithesis of those things...he has had one of the most extraodinarily successful Presidencies in his accomplishment of those goals. Not without hiccup and not without opposition, thank God, but still very significantly successful in his udermining of America at every turn.
This man knows exactly what he is doing. He is not a bumbler or an idiot. He told us straight forward that he planned to fundamentally chanfge America. And he is doing so on almost all fronts with abadon and success.
But he is mortal and will not always be in this position. And, as Patrick Henry said, ‘There is a God in Heaven who watches over the affairs of man.”
The pendulum is going to swing back...the only issue now is, how far will it go before that starts...and how much damage to those former things I spoke of in the first paragraph of this rsponse will be done before it does.
Let’s pray that the answer to both questions is the same...not too much more. But if there is, it just means we have all the more work to do. Which work we will never accomplish in any case...any more than our founders could have...without the support of God in Heaven in doing so.
Maybe that’s the issue. If God has a plan for the United States of America, then we will get through this.
Adams said, however, that once you lose freedoms, they aren’t returned. You have to take them back, generally by force.
And Franklin pointed out from the beginning that our system of government could only work with a moral, educated people.
I actually think the entire thing requires rethinking. What would life be like without Washington DC? I’m not sure it is a question people ask. I know that asking it provokes an emotional response.
I’m not advocating a coup, or revolution. I’m saying that we aren’t getting what we pay for from the feds. If the states had to go it alone, and if they could divide the federal assets between them, what kind of alliances would result? Would the conflicts be so big among some states that it is more prudent to keep the FedGov.
There would be issues, like the ballistic submarine missile fleet, and what to do with them, but if we are out of the ‘protect national interests abroad’ business, then I don’t see the point in a FedGov worried about the ‘general welfare’ and what that buys you.
