E-Newsletter No. 108 December 2022
Last month, we asked the question “Can the Growing Divide Be Resolved?” We were hopeful that the answer would be a resounding “Yes” and that our country’s citizens would vote to re-embrace conservative values and reject the growing divide caused by the “progressive” movement’s desire to fundamentally transform our country. But it appears that in many ways the 2022 midterm elections show that the philosophical divide continues to grow. The good news is that in the aggregate for the 435 elections for the US House of Representatives, Republican candidates received 50.1 million votes and Democrat candidates received 44.3 million votes.
Our Editorial Board believes the fundamental question that confronts a voter on election day is “Am I going to cast my vote in a way that best represents my values?”
We have pulled together a partial list of some of the key issues that cause the growing divide between conservatives and those on the Left –
Limited Government vs Bureaucracy
The Tenth Amendment vs an all-powerful federal government
Personal Responsibility vs Socialism
Individualism vs Collectivism
Freedom of Speech vs the proposed Ministry of Truth
The supremacy of family values vs government “woke-ness”
Freedom vs Government-directed mandates
E Pluribus Unum vs divisive “special interests”
Free Markets and Choice vs Government Ownership and Control
Secure national borders vs Open borders
Fiscal responsibility vs Unsustainable growing debt
We readily admit that sorting this out is extremely difficult, because each individual voter must assess each issue and how each issue aligns with their values.
Unfortunately, with the Left’s control of the media narrative and the education system(s), along with their ongoing collusion with the DC Swamp, their attempts to fundamentally transform our country will not end, and it appears that the growing divide will continue to grow.
