BOWMAN: America’s Honorable Return

With due respect to the nearly 100,000 American lives lost in America’s two so-called wars to “stop the spread of communism,” it must be stated that we, as a free people living within a so-called limited government, and having its final sovereign authority resting with us, are not worthy of the freedoms which the Founders bequeathed.

Our current disrespect is heightened on certain days reserved for our remembrance and honor of those who “gave their all.”  Somehow, this anti-American mindset now connects our solemn reflections to the sordid world of politics.  Their contention is that these special days glorify conservatism and act as recruitment specials.

Ever since the 2008 election, our political scene has been detoured by implementing communism’s recall of racism as its major divisional tool for highlighting societal jealousies and racial discord, which is now spiced up with white supremacy.  Our unity during WWII shone and therefore became a probable factor for today’s emphasis.  Their recent success is embarrassing, considering it took less than twenty years, as the sixties revealed!

Today, America has succumbed to an even deeper disloyalty as known communists are being elected into all levels of government.  One can pretty well judge this communist growth from these watershed happenings.  These have been so obvious that it motivated a billionaire to sideline his creature comforts for an Oval Office stint.  What he endured, while holding office and during his forced “R&R,” has motivated many to rethink certain political beliefs and loyalties, therefore erasing many discriminatory prejudices for both the love of country and her preservation.  Also, some have had it with just being used!

As such, what is being shouted out daily is not what it seems.  It’s not the man, since many critics have enjoyed personal friendships in prior years.  It’s what he represents and his successful policies, which are antithetical to their communist-global schedule.  It’s gotten so that now, “all the cards are on the table.” Instead of waiting until assuming office, current candidates are professing their communist intentions prior to election day.  This tactic seems to be counterproductive since they are losing more than they attract.

Our Forefather created a government that required citizen participation; due to their assigning its sovereign authority to the people.   This communist infestation is the result of that responsibility becoming too heavy a burden.  Therefore, today is our mess to clean up!  President Trump can only do so much, so it’s “we the people” time, once again!

For many Americans, and especially those who grew up with the belief that communism was and is evil, the present landscape, coupled with this verbal nonsense about a better life than what is now every day America, has re-ignited our deepest American loyalties.

Communism doesn’t offer work as a self-motivator; their only option is to do or die!  And contrary to this modern theme, challenges and the effort to confront each are beneficial; they build character and self-confidence.  Here, in a land that provides the individual with self-improvement options, one can be damn thankful that collectives are not!  Here in America,  it’s “be all you can be”!  God Bless America, and all those who keep her free!
