The enemy from within.

Meanwhile, they allow in radical islamists diametrically opposed to western values and the freedoms we cherish to demonize Americans and Israelis as great evils that must be killed. This is certainly not all Muslims, but bringing any anti-American radicals into our country is a recipe for disaster. And that is why the enemy within wave them right in.

The radical marxist left-wing in our universities is indoctrinating students to hate the West. Our public education system teaches anti-West crt, dei, and anti-racism and reframes American history as primarily being about slavery, white supremacy, and colonialism. Promoting gender confusion to our children destabilizes the family structure that has been the backbone of Western civilization forever.

If you like America and the ideals it represents, would you bring the seeds of destruction into your country? Of course not! Only an enemy would do so. This gives us the lens with which to find and identify those individuals and groups who are waging war against America. They are right here among us. Historian Arnold Toynbee wrote that 19 of the 21 great civilizations he studied were destroyed from within.

As bleak as the American landscape might currently look, there is reason for hope. While these days you don’t hear many great orators waxing eloquently on the virtues of America, those virtues do exist. Alexis de Tocqueville, after touring America, wrote about them. He saw that Americans came together to form voluntary associations which allowed them to pursue common interests and goals. He credited the freedom of speech, assembly, and the press for creating a vibrant and dynamic public sphere where citizens could debate and discuss public issues, and providing the means for citizens to participate in the political process, shape public policy and hold their government accountable. Although dimmer than at any time in our history, these freedoms do still exist. We must exercise them to the fullest to right the American ship.

Tocqueville’s Democracy in America was written at a time when the US was still a young nation. He pondered the future of democracy and the potential challenges it faced. He believed that democracy was a fragile and like ALL systems, imperfect, and that it required constant vigilance and effort to maintain. He was right. The time for that vigilance and effort is well past due.
