America's military veterans can no longer sit on the sidelines.

America's military veterans can no longer sit on the sidelines when there is a well funded, ongoing cultural and political war being waged to turn America into a Marxist, communist totalitarian state. It truly is time for America's over 20 million veterans and numerous veterans' organizations to become actively engaged and help to defeat the "forces of darkness" fighting America's constitution, republic, and way of life.

America's veteran organizations such as the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Vietnam Veterans of America, and numerous other veterans organizations must become active in the fight against practically every stratum of American society. Most of these veterans' organizations have state and local chapters and posts where members and other patriotic Americans can join to combat radical, far-left programs on the local level. These efforts could include, for example, appearances before county and city boards of education to strongly speak against the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT) to children as young as first-graders.

In the simplest terms, CRT is nothing more than a derivation of Marxist, communist ideology where a person's race rather than a person's class — i.e., working class versus managerial or owner class — is the basis for struggle and conflict. Rather than unite Americans of all races into a strong, vibrant nation, CRT strives to divide Americans and keep them divided into different racial groups in conflict with one another.

One of the most onerous situations today involves substantial numbers of America's elementary- and secondary-school children and university students. These young people are being fed a steady diet of what amounts to communist propaganda and ideology couched in terms of CRT, cancel culture, and other anti-American ideologies. Teachers refusing to teach these "doctrines" to schoolchildren frequently lose their jobs

Not just military veterans. Stockholders and customers of businesses should take up a “cancel back” culture.

Critical Race Theory is just a symptom. Envy is the root.

We are undergoing an unprecedented demographic shift. Whites are rapidly becoming a minority in the US. But we hold most of the wealth and income.

Look at Zimbabwe for how that turns out.

Yeah, people here can puff “We got the guns!”.

Well, the white people of Rhodesia and South Africa had the guns too. Long term, it didn’t matter. The gang bangers have guns too, and more importantly have the willingness to use them. Poor people can get guns too.

CRT provides the ideological justification for expropriation followed by extermination.

With the critical race theory teaching in schools wonder how many parents of mixed marriage have their child come home and call one a racist?.

Thanks for yet another great graphic. Was at the VA hospital the other day when my doctor asked if I wanted an HIV test.

"No, I'm good. Better save those up for the new improved 'woke' soldiers coming soon."

He almost fell off his chair - laughing. We ARE the silent majority. It just seems the opposite because the bastards whine and cry too loudly.

Absolutely correct, they should come together.

But regretfully, they won't.

And they won't because the system is inextricably corrupt, and no incentive to join forces, for the good of the members, or the love of country.

The tank crews are. So are most of the guys in Infantry squads. I don't see cannon cockers, medics or combat engineers much.
