We are the victim of policies that sound good and feel good but have the opposite effect, all by design. Too many examples of what amounts to malign intent should be readily visible to all. I have come to realize that our basic foundational teachings, our tribal law, and the social acclimatization that evolved over eons, no longer work. Many of us, especially our young, are no longer our authentic selves. We have morphed into an artificial social construct that sees us dazed and confused. Without knowing who we are, and what is important versus what is trivial, we have become overly compliant and frequently nothing more than useful idiots willingly following corrupt leadership.

Voting is no longer determinative. Our votes don’t matter, which goes a long way to explaining why people, despite their anger and frustration, are passive. Law-abiding citizens feel there’s nothing they can do short of taking to the streets.

The sole exception to law-abiding passivity is education because parents are galvanized on their children’s behalf. Local governments feel vulnerable because the Federal government is constantly testing the limits of what it can overtly do. Gov. Youngkin’s win in Virginia was a setback for government, but don’t think for a moment that parents won the war. The career Woke bureaucrats who really believe those are not your children but, instead, are theirs are just weathering the storm and then they’ll be back with a vengeance.

We live in the age of the Long Con. The government promises that its policies will improve our lives when those same policies only expand their powers and protect them from citizen wrath. The ongoing con sees many of us closing the door to traditional instincts because of the total frustration we feel.

The Constitution no longer functions according to long-standing tradition. The Left takes potshots at the Constitution every day, making a mockery of what was previously understood to be an inviolate document, but is no longer—at least not for those Leftists seeking its undoing. Even our Unalienable Rights, the cornerstone of our Republic, are frequently under attack. When they say, “Speech is violence,” where does that leave free speech?

Here are just some of the issues dragging us down.

  • The Religion of Climate Change
  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
  • Woke Educational Policies
  • World Instability
  • Assault on Privacy
  • Instant & Unfiltered Communications

All these issues are media driven to buttress efforts to extinguish personal rights at a rapid clip while, at the same time, the government creates new protections for itself. The Affordable Care Act is an excellent example of the government creating a false right to healthcare, when the truth is, the government is deciding the level of healthcare it allows us. This is, in effect, a limitation and not an expansion of rights. Another example is the Inflation Reduction Act, which will reduce freedom in many powerful ways.

According to the Heritage Foundation:

After reaching a high score in 2006, the United States fell from the “Free” category to “Mostly Free” in 2010. Economic freedom has continued to slide, hitting an all-time low this year, ranking America behind 24 other nations.

A free nation without Freedom? How does that work? Who decides what is constitutionally permissible? With the ever-expanding powers of the judiciary, the personal politics of a judge now frequently trumps time-honored Constitutional determinations. Where’s any restraint against this?
