Some liberals use Fourth to denigrate America<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But after I get over the outrage I feel over the ingratitude these dimwits feel toward the country that made them citizens of the first world, I think my next emotion is gratitude for the clarity they have provided.\u00a0 Up until the Obama years we could imagine that we were all patriotic citizens of the greatest country on earth.\u00a0 Up until the Trump years we could pretend that the Democrats were invested in seeing this country prosper.\u00a0 Now we know that fully 40% of the citizens of this country want to destroy it.\u00a0 Another 20% are too stupid to see that the Democrats are trying to do exactly that.\u00a0 That leaves about 40% who are actual Americans.<\/p>\n<p>The question in my mind is how to bring that 40% together in a way that benefits us and harms the other 60%.\u00a0 And I think both sides of that proposition are important.<\/p>\n<p>On the positive side we need to protect our people from the madness being unleashed all around us.\u00a0 We need to build schools that talk about the two countries that exist within the fifty states.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t enough to use the old patriotic boilerplate to teach American history and civics.\u00a0 It is critically important to tell the whole tale of how Alinskyite tactics were used to capture the schools and colleges and then everything else.\u00a0 We have to warn the young people about what they will find in the real world and what they\u2019ll have to do to protect themselves and eventually their own children from the poison.\u00a0 We\u2019ll need to describe how the Supreme Court stripped away our rights and invented corrupt new ones like affirmative action.\u00a0 So, somebody has to write those text books and someone has to find teach this material.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll need to identify each other and support each other commercially and socially.\u00a0 We\u2019ll need our own social media networks and we\u2019ll need our own clubs and other organizations.\u00a0 Setting up a network that encompasses that 40% and provides actual benefits for the membership will be difficult.\u00a0 It\u2019s never been done before.\u00a0 Up until now we thought America was one country so one set of schools and one set of fraternal organizations seemed adequate.\u00a0 But it\u2019s vitally important that organizing these things begins.<\/p>\n<p>On the negative side we need to make sure that the 60% gets to reap the whirlwind that they\u2019ve sown.\u00a0 Every city they\u2019ve destroyed should be their responsibility.\u00a0 Let them find a way to pay for the services that won\u2019t have the middle class to pay for.\u00a0 After a million affluent people leave New York City the remainder will not be able to pay for running the transit system and the schools and the garbage pickup and the road and bridge repair.\u00a0 New York State will end up paying the tab but they don\u2019t have the resources.\u00a0 And you and I shouldn\u2019t pay it either.\u00a0 And that goes for Los Angeles and Minneapolis and Chicago and Detroit and Portland and Atlanta and St Louis.\u00a0 Sure, Atlanta and St. Louis are in red states and their state governments should use the bankruptcy of those cities to rein in the Democrat politics.\u00a0 Putting the cities into receivership will allow the state to dictate the policies the police practice to end the crime spree going on.\u00a0 And they can clean up the election fraud.\u00a0 It\u2019s time the cities are forced to run honestly.<\/p>\n<p>So, I\u2019m grateful that the Left are no longer my problem.\u00a0 Now I\u2019m waiting for the Right to step up and begin to organize and manage the new nation that they represent.\u00a0 That is my Fourth of July wish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking at the opinion articles from the Left, the first thought I have is one I\u2019ve thought before.\u00a0 Juan Williams must be the stupidest human<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[923,3155,2580],"class_list":["post-15114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","tag-left-vs-right","tag-separating-from-the-left","tag-two-americas"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 -
