the left elite have picked another on for the Democrats. They do not have elections they have selections, of one.

I think they meant to land on the Moon.

Another reason that the emerging conservative coalition is so powerful is that it is increasingly composed of people who have themselves worked, struggled, and overcome to actually make real the original promise of the American Dream. Whether they are the cast aside “hillbillies” that JD Vance writes about or people of color whose parents and grandparents fought and won the Civil Rights Revolution, they have a visceral understanding of just how precious and valuable the foundational tenets of our constitutional Republic actually are, and they mean to keep them. So, too, an older generation of legal immigrants, like the parents of Marco Rubio, who fled to this country from oppressive societies, and they still know the difference between living in freedom and suffering under authoritarian rule. And, finally, there is every small business man or woman who struggled to keep going through the insane decrees of the COVID debacle and every obstacle that “their” government still throws in their path in the name of “inclusion,” “equity,” and “racial justice.”

For all of these Americans, the idea of the American Republic — and all that obtains under its banner — is not just a theoretical concept, but a hard-won, lived reality, and they know this in their hearts. In short, they believe that this is *our* country — not the property of the out of touch global elites and their well paid enablers — and we, God willing, are taking it back.

THAT IS ONE SMELLY CAMEL CRAPPING IN YOUR TENT

“We can all tolerate a little Socialism here and there. But a little Socialism, a little of the camel’s nose introduced into the tent by “compassionate” government social engineers that know nothing about camel’s and the tent becomes the camel’s home.

Now what? Now you have a big smelly camel living and crapping in your tent and now you serve it, it does not serve you. THAT is Socialism. ”

MDN: It took me a bit to find the typo, but it is fixed, now reading “underserved” as it should.

I agree with your sentiment completely but I think you typo’d one reference to the executive order text as “undeserved” instead of “underserved”. Even though the policy most assuredly results in this outcome I don’t think you meant to misquote it like this where it reads as a possible aspersion, because you have always held this site to the epitome of good decorum. And even though none of us care I don’t want the haters to have any ammo to disparage you.

“Like most things more Liberal and Leftist, never take what they say on its face value. There is always a duplicitous meaning and intent to everything a philosophical Leftist believer says. A subversion in other words. True for both political parties, but especially the Left.”

“But how do I know, how do I find an intelligent “villager”? How can I tell when someone is actually intelligent and worthwhile listening to? It is up to you, it is your adult responsibility to figure out who is rational, who is intelligent. And who is just posing and is full of crap just looking to use and control you.

As an astute friend of mine likes to point out, however, this is not the kind of issue that sways elections, and no one will be talking about this problem at the Republican Convention tonight. Yet, whether our civilization lives or dies is literally hanging in the balance, even if most of the electorate will be making its choice for very different reasons.
