Demonstrating his statesmanlike, presidential demeanor, Biden is picking fights with the Governor of my state of Florida over whether little children from the age of two and up should be forced to wear masks. Forced against the parents’ wishes. Forced against the advice of their pediatricians. And, yes, forced against their own will.

Children are people, too. They say they’re not babies, just fetuses –“lumps of flesh.” Someone should tell these fatuous people that the Latin word “fetus” means “baby.” After tricking a young woman into signing a complaint that allowed two radical young lawyers to file a fraudulent lawsuit by lying and telling her that she would get an abortion – knowing that would never happen. Although the case had no legal foundation, nine men invented a “right” found nowhere in the Constitution – “right to privacy.”  Using their new shiny toy - this made-up “right” - they legalized the murder of children in the one place where they should be safest – their mother’s womb…

There was a farmer who grew excellent quality corn. Every year, he won the award for the best grown corn. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned how the farmer grew such quality corn. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. 

“How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?” the reporter asked. “Didn’t you know?” said the farmer. “The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn.”  

Are we headed for a repeat of the lost year, a period of desperation, uncertainty, and fear? Are there other lockdowns in our future, and deserted streets, churches and businesses closing, schools in remote learning? Have we learned nothing, aside from the descriptions I mentioned previously, about how to handle this dilemma? Will so-called leaders dictate new mandates, and the media acting as their sounding board deliver daily probabilities, possibilities, and good or bad guesses? Has history taught us nothing?  

Slavery has always been a part of life in all civilizations. Aristotle declared, “From the hour of their birth, some are marked out for subjection, others for rule." In his day, there were more slaves than free males. Professor David P. Forsythe wrote in his book, The Globalist, “The fact remained that at the beginning of the nineteenth century an estimated three-quarters of all people alive were trapped in bondage against their will either in some form of slavery or serfdom.” 

So, while slavery has always been with us, it has always been the result of one group taking advantage of another for the first group's benefit.  

There is no common ground with those whose only goal is stripping away freedom by dismantling the Constitution. There is no dialogue with those who wish only to dictate. There is no common goal with those who keep moving the goalpost. 

The Democrat Marxist party does not want dialogue or compromise…they want submission.

As reasoning people, those on the right have always hoped that we could sit down with the opposition and have an intelligent and reasoned debate with those on the Left. We believed (it turns out naively) that if we could just explain, using logic and common sense, they would see that the arbitrary and usually contradictory policies they impose make no sense in the real world of real people. We always felt if we met them halfway they might see reason and we could work together for the betterment of the country and its citizens - all of its citizens - not just a few handpicked, special-interest, 'flavor-of-the month' groups.

We were wrong.

In the aftermath of the death of George Floyd, crime in cities across the country erupted. Along with riots and looting, there were irresponsible calls to defund the police. With police being targeted by Antifa and Black Lives Matter protesters, more officers decided to retire. At the same time, it became much more difficult to recruit new police officers to join departments under siege.

Throughout the country, cities with Democratic leadership are seeing a tremendous increase in crime in 2021. While President Biden and congressional Democrats like to blame “guns,” the real problem is that there are too many criminals on the streets. Cities across America do not need gun control; instead, what is really needed is criminal control.  

The socialists are going after their favorite target, the school children. The head of the American Federation of Teachers, and a member of the AFL-CIO, Randi Weingarten is making threats as usual. Either she gets her way with making children wear masks, and raises for her Teachers' Union Members, or her union members will not return to the classroom and teach. It will be the school children and their families who will suffer; again they are the pawns of the socialists.
