					<description><![CDATA[I WISH, I WISH, I WISH

A close family member who is in the process of politically evolving sent me this email: 

&quot;Listen, honestly ... I wish there were 2 totally different candidates. I have never seen a Presidential election you could be 100% behind 1 person. It&#039;s usually bad or worse&quot;.

My response:

Little boys and little girls &quot;Wish&quot; for what it is that they want. Are you a little boy or a little girl? This is our process, this is our system. Chaotic political warfare that results in the peaceful transfer of governmental power, and that is the prime function of our Constitution as per design. The peaceful transfer of power. Why did the Roman empire fall? Primarily because they had no peaceful way to transfer power. So they had to have chaotic, bloody transfers of power.

Compare:

Trump, pro American, pro Constitution as intended, anti Socialism, pro Capitalism, anti Globalist. (By his own words and actions)

Biden (Or who ever will actually be inhabiting the presidents office if he is successful): Pro open borders, Pro illegal immigration, Pro Globalism, Pro Socialism, Pro &quot;Adjusting&quot; the Constitution, Pro firearms confiscation, Pro defunding the police, Pro Communist Chinese, etc. (By his own words and actions) (If there is no Second Amendment there is no First Amendment, then there is no Constitution and there is no United States Of America.)

There, its all been boiled down for you, now make your choice, nice and simple.

You don&#039;t personally like Trump? No? So what? Your not dating him, your hiring him in an executive capacity to run the country. Two polar opposite things.

Do you need to love the surgeon that specializes in the procedure that you desperately need to save your life? I know I do not.

Its the difference between seeing things in only in a Subjective or being able to see reality in an Objective and rational manner. You are not dating Trump, or Biden for that matter, you are Objectively hiring a human being to do a job that they say they specialize in. What does Trump specialize in? And what does Biden specialize in? You tell me.

Objective and rational V Subjective and emotional. Now think, then choose.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[HEGEMONY: KNOW WHAT IT MEANS?

Hegemony: &quot;Hegemony is the political, economic, or military predominance or control of one state over others. &quot;  &quot;the social, cultural, ideological, or economic influence exerted by a dominant group&quot;.

Why is this an important term in America and the world today?

Ask yourself: Who is the hegemon in todays world? The answer to that question is America. Thankfully.

&quot;The American self-image of a mighty power that is also a benign hegemon, the global custodian of democratic values and human rights, is deeply rooted.&quot; Allister Sparks

America as formulated is as a general rule a &quot;Benin&quot; Hegemon. And I would add to that a benevolent Hegemon. Why again is this important?

Because, if America, which based in a rational and well thought out Constitution that is designed to counter balance the nature of man in regards to the abuse of power which frees its citizens and all others who fall under its influence is not the Hegemon of the world, who is?

Choose one: China. (That is your choice) 

If America is displaced as the hegemon of the world then it will be Communist China that will fill that void. Orwellian, Social credit rating system, world domination plans, Wuhan virus exporting Communist China will fill that void. Don&#039;t know what the Chinese Social rating system is? Don&#039;t know what Chinas formal world domination plans are? Look into it, its like I said real world Orwellian.

And now we ask: Who in America demands that America as formulated not exist? Objectively, the Democrats and those that support their empowerment.

The Democrat party leadership and those who support them stands for: Open borders, No borders, Empowering Iran, ensuring Iran has nukes, Eliminating the country of Israel, Defunding the police, Universal minimum income / nation wide welfare, &quot;Free&quot; healthcare, Mandating or limiting speech, Reparations, Globalism, The elimination of the 2nd amendment and the confiscation of firearms, Mandating the wearing of masks (but not if you are black, seriously), Discarding our true American history for a subjective interpretation of what our history should be so everyone &quot;feels&quot; warm and fuzzy (again, seriously). The list is long but I will stop here, its un American, disturbing and above all else, dangerous, self hating and suicidal. 

And who have the Democrat leadership put up to run for president in 2020 to ensure none of this transpires and America remains the Hegemon of the world to protect your freedoms? Joe Biden. Yes that same Joe Biden who along with his son left China after an official state visit while he was vice president with a $1 Billion with a &quot;B&quot; dollar investment from the Communist Chinese government into the vice presidents son&#039;s hedge fund. And then they upped that by another $500 Million to a cool $1.5 Billion with a &quot;B&quot;. The Chinese like to cover their bets, and Biden&#039;s son still to this day still owns his share of it.

(And I again say here, I do not believe that it will be Joe Biden that will run for president, but there his is all the same)

Hegemon, Hedge fund its all the same to Joe and the Democrat leadership. Think Biden is a strong man who is a leader of men and countries? Worlds? Not me.

&quot;The American self-image of a mighty power that is also a benign hegemon, the global custodian of democratic values and human rights, is deeply rooted.&quot; Allister Sparks

With a Joe Biden presidency this American, rational, benign, benevolent and democratic world hegemony all ends in my opinion and that opinion is based on exactly what I see going on in America and in the world. What do you see?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Robert, 
You wrote: &quot;&lt;i&gt;Thus, I fear that the culture of Washington is becoming increasingly hostile to and insulated against the choices of the American electorate.&lt;/i&gt;&quot; 

Considering that they tried to overturn the election through an impeachment that was, as the Democrats described it, &quot;bereft of evidence,&quot; I would say that you nailed it right on the head.  

&quot;&lt;i&gt;I fear that they will one day soon decide to team up with the politicians they like to use the concentrated power we have given them in Washington to reject those choices, even to the extent of tossing out the Constitution and the democratic legal system that made the United States once the freest and wealthest nation in the history of the human race.&lt;/i&gt;&quot; 

Well, here we are in a lockdown, shutdown, smackdown Great Oppression, disallowed from doing virtually anything, in most states.  Are the beaches open yet?  How about the barber shops, because I needed a haircut even before they were shut down -- I may have to start using a rubber band in order to make a pony tail to control my flailing hair.  Plus they are coercing us to wear masks that they admit do no good for the purpose they say we are to use them, with excessive multi-hundred dollar fines imposed.  Our free exercise of religion has been prohibited.  

With a majority of our businesses shuttered and a quarter of our jobs gone, our loss of freedom to be productive hardly allows for much wealth or prosperity creation.  These actions were not our choice, having jobs and open businesses was our choice.  

Our freedoms are savagely violated, our rights abridged.  The Roger Stone case has demonstrated that an accused person no longer enjoys the right to an impartial jury.  

Add these latest moves to the previously lost rights, such as warrants issued by FISA courts without actual probable cause yet supported by phony oaths or affirmations, private property taken not for public use but for government profit, and civil forfeiture depriving people of property without due process.   Wickard v. Filburn: the 1942 Supreme Court case that used interstate commerce clause to give the national government virtually unlimited power over us.  The Roberts Doctrine, where five to nine people can change a law so that it does not what the 535 people in Congress and the President wanted but what the Supreme Court justices want, essentially creating a new law from an existing one.  Thus resulting in government being allowed to direct We the People as to what to buy, what to do, what to say or what to be, so long as a tax is associated with it.  Now they have &lt;i&gt;actual &lt;/i&gt;unlimited power over us.  

Government now supports one side over the other during elections.  That is not a power delegated by the Constitution, nor is it reserved to the states, but it is reserved to the people, exclusively.  This is not a democratic form of government, nor is it a republic.  It is an oligarchy that keeps power while giving its populace the feeling of being democratic.  

Welcome to Obama&#039;s America, land of the formerly free.]]></description>
