E-Newsletter No. 85 January 2021
The current state of our union is not very healthy. As many of us would agree, the concept of E Pluribus Unum (Out of Many, One) has been under constant attack by the Left’s identity politics agenda. The state of our union has been deteriorating for several years, not just the past four or five years. This 48-second segment in the following video (starting at 1:21:27 to the end) is the most telling example of what has been going on.
Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and the other members of the radical Left, along with their allies in the mainstream media, have shown nothing but utter contempt for President Trump. But it goes beyond just President Trump – – it extends to all of the “deplorable” conservatives “who cling to guns and religion.” It was also suggested that “Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed” (a quote from Hillary Clinton at the April 2015 Women in the World Summit in New York City). And now, the radical Left is calling for “re-education camps” for conservatives who do not buy into the Socialists’ agenda.
Another telling example of this growing divide can be seen in a one-minute 34-second segment of this video (from 39:18 to 40:52). The members of our Editorial Board agree with President Trump that Socialism will end up destroying American healthcare. Obviously, based on the reactions of the Leftists in the audience, they disagree. Our newsletter next month will cover the reasons why Socialism is immoral, and why it has a history of failure everywhere and every time it has been attempted.
Also…. Since the start of our federal government’s fiscal year on October 1st, the amount of debt that has been pushed onto our children and grandkids has increased by $1 trillion in just three months. A $900 billion “stimulus” package that was passed in December (in order to keep the government from shutting down) now appears to be inadequate – – the Democrat party wants to tack on an additional $1.9 trillion. There doesn’t appear to be any end in sight on new ideas for more spending by the federal government. Unfortunately, if you believe your family is already paying too much in taxes to the government, you haven’t seen anything yet. In the meantime, the detrimental effect of this uncontrolled spending is simply being pushed downstream. But then again, we shouldn’t be surprised, because that is what career politicians tend to do. It’s no wonder that Congress’ latest approval rating has slipped into single digits..
