Look in the mirror, and observe the image of what the Biden Administration and the progressive left considers the enemy.
The United States faces a crisis on its uncontrolled southern border, where vast numbers of illegals, some with connections to drug cartels and human traffickers, pour across, unrestrained by an inadequate number of overwhelmed border patrol agents.
Throughout the nation’s major cities, dwindling numbers of beleaguered police officers fight a desperate battle to deter criminals let loose by absurd de-incarceration and “bail reform” policies.
Across the globe, Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and an assortment of terrorists plot assaults on American ideals, allies, and the nation itself. Our military is underfunded and undermanned. Think the U.S. has the resources to discourage this? Think again. America does not have the most servicepeople in arms. China has 3,355,000; Russia has 3,014,000; India has 2,610,550; the U.S. comes in fourth at 2,233,050. China now has the globe’s largest navy, at 355 vessels, compared to its U.S. counterpart’s 296, an enemy advantage that continuously grows due to the underfunding of our maritime service. Thanks to a treaty negotiated by Obama, Moscow has the world’s largest and most sophisticated nuclear arsenal.
Despite those realities, the recent legislation pushed by the left calls for…hiring another 87,000 IRS agents to assault you.
An entire political religion has been built that casts the average American as the enemy. Indeed, in a 2016 presidential primary debate, candidate Hillary Clinton was given yet another softball question by an adoring press. She was asked, “Who do you consider the enemy.” The expected response was a platitude such as racism, poverty, and the like. Instead, she answered “Republicans.” It was a clear follow-up to her description of non-leftists as “despicables” and Obama’s description of them as bitter people “Clinging to their bibles and guns.”
Parents who cling to the quaint notion that they have the right and the duty to bring up their children in traditional ways and using traditional values are part of that enemy class so despised by progressives. During the Pandemic, moms and dads where shocked to discover what really was being taught in schools. When they expressed their opinions at school board meetings, they became enemies of the state and were labelled “Domestic Terrorists” by the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division, based on Attorney General Merrick Garland’s memorandum. The FBI’s subsequently created a “threat tag.”
Fundamental American symbols, such as the Betsy Ross flag flown during the American Revolution, and the Gadsen Flag from the same era and still used on U.S. Navy ships have apparently been labelled “Domestic Violent Terrorism Symbols” by the Biden Administration’s FBI.
The same Congressional leaders who have want 87,000 more IRS agents instead of cops, soldiers, and border patrol agents also believe that those enemy Americans must be oppressed with unscientific environmental remedies. They know full well that, for decades to come, so-called “green” energy resources will not be capable of supplying more than 20% of energy needs. Nevertheless, they push policies that make energy unaffordable for the average American family, and in the process create devastating inflation.
To those on the left, merely citing the Bill of Rights is considered an enemy action. If you belong to the wrong side of the political argument, you have no right, they believe, to be safe in your home or office from invasion by government officials outraged that you helped the wrong candidate. How dare you quote the First Amendment’s Freedom of Speech guarantee? You may “trigger” the delicate feelings of a progressive that disagrees with you. Don’t even think of exercising your Second Amendment right to bear arms, just because they have defunded the police and your family needs protection.
Besides, you’re the enemy and shouldn’t have a weapon.
