Lots of us began as Democrats, but they have veered so far to the Left as to be unrecognizable. And yes, they are “evil” but smart, while the Republicans are “Neanderthals” and dumb for the most part.[2]
Perhaps our disillusionment began with John F. Kennedy, who was a total fraud.[3] It was followed by Lyndon Johnson who escalated JFK’s Vietnam War beyond all reason, and was responsible for the senseless deaths of our friends and fellow Americans. Also, LBJ’s “Great Society” programs destroyed black families and consigned them to economic servitude.
This was followed by the Clintons, who smiled but were evil beyond belief.[4] Then came Barack Obama, the consummate racist who smiled too, all the while he was sowing the seeds of racial divisiveness that have been fostering unfettered crime, and ripping our great nation apart.[5]
Then came Obama’s “stooge” Joe Biden, whose mental capacities have been declining before the eyes of the world—which has fueled the thirst of our principal enemies, China and Russia, and brought us to the brink of the unthinkable World War III.[6] And Biden has given us Kamala Harris, who is waiting in the wings for him to croak, but can’t seem to find our border with Mexico.[7]
Pat Buchanan—an adviser to Presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford, and a former GOP presidential aspirant himself—discusses where we are today as Americans, in an article entitled “Is ‘Our Democracy’ Failing Our Country?”
Asked, “What is an American?” many would answer, “An American is a citizen of the United States.”
Yet, at the First Continental Congress in 1774, 15 years before the U.S. became a nation of 13 states, Patrick Henry rose to proclaim that, “British oppression has effaced the boundaries of the several colonies; the distinctions between Virginians, Pennsylvanians, New Yorkers, and New Englanders are no more. I am not a Virginian, but an American.”
Henry was saying — more than a dozen years before our constitutional republic was established — that America already existed as a nation, and he was her loyal son.
In an 1815 letter to Thomas Jefferson, long after both men had served as president, John Adams wrote:
“As to the history of the Revolution, my Ideas may be peculiar, perhaps Singular. What do We mean by the Revolution? The War? That was no part of the Revolution. It was only an Effect and Consequence of it. The Revolution was in the Minds of the People, and this was effected, from 1760 to 1775, in the course of fifteen Years before a drop of blood was drawn at Lexington.”
Adams was saying that America was conceived and, as an embryonic nation, grew within the hearts of the peoples of the 13 colonies, two to three decades before the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.
In short, our country came to be before our republic came to be, and long before what we today call “our democracy” came to be. A country is different from, and more than, the political system that it adopts.
France was France all through the Bourbon dynasty, the Revolution of 1789, the creation of the First Republic, the Reign of Terror, Napoleon’s First Empire and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy — all the way to the creation of the Fifth Republic by President Charles de Gaulle.
And beneath the carapace of the USSR, the heart of Mother Russia continued to beat. Rightly, during the Cold War, we regarded Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria as “captive nations” and captive peoples.
The point: Neither the regime nor the political system imposed, nor some abstract idea, is the country that predates them and has first claim upon the loyalty of its sons and daughters.
In his famous toast, American naval hero Stephen Decatur declared: “Our country! … May she always be in the right; but our country, right or wrong!”
The crisis today for those who incessantly proclaim, “Our democracy is in danger,” is that millions of patriots are coming to see our incumbent regime, “our democracy,” as faithless and failing in its foremost duty — to protect and defend our country and countrymen from enemies foreign and domestic.
Forced constantly by the establishment to choose between them, patriotic Americans may one day come to choose, as did their fathers, the country they love over the crown that rules them.
Consider.
The Biden regime that currently rules us has allowed 3 million migrants to invade our country in two years. These illegals continue to break our laws and cross our border at a rate of 250,000 a month.
Among them are terrorists, robbers, rapists, murderers, cartelists and child molesters. The Biden regime has abdicated its duty to halt the invasion that is changing the ethnic, racial, religious, social and political character and composition of our American family without the consent of the American people, into whose national home these intruders are breaking with impunity.
President Joe Biden is assuring that the future of the nation will be determined by millions of people who have in common only that they broke our laws to get into our country. Vice President Kamala Harris smugly dismisses demands to address the crisis by saying America’s southern border is “secure.”
With this invasion has come a flood of the narcotic fentanyl, which last year took the lives of 100,000 Americans, a number equal to all the U.S. war dead in years of fighting in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Under the Biden party’s policy of softness on crime and indulgence of the criminal class, assaults, robberies, carjackings and “mass shootings,” where four victims are killed or wounded in each episode, have surged in U.S. cities.
With America’s currency and economy in his custody, Biden has, in 18 months, run up inflation, that cancer of America’s currency, to 8%, run up the national debt to where it far exceeds the gross national product, and crashed the stock market, wiping out trillions in wealth.
“The pandemic is over,” Biden told “60 Minutes” in September, a month when more than 400 Americans were dying of COVID-19 every day, a death rate higher than World War II and equal to the bloodiest war in U.S. history, the Civil War of 1861-1865.
The custodians of “our democracy” are failing in the most fundamental of duties of any political system — to protect and defend the people. No failed regime can justify its permanence by claiming some inherent superiority.[8]
We are at potentially perilous crossroads. The direction we turn will determine whether we have a viable country to pass on to our inheritors in the future.

DEMOCRATS ALL-IN WITH GLOBALISTS ( Climate Change)
Here is what California Democrats just quietly passed for all State residents:
https://www.newswars.com/california-bans-natural-gas-furnaces-water-heaters/
Did we get to vote on this new regulation against gas heaters and furnaces? How about EV requirements? Nope.
No, instead we get to vote in Nov. about such important State matters as “online gambling” where only Indian Tribes have something to lose financially. Dems throw Native Americans under the bus. They also throw the Middle Class under another bus.
By about 2030 all Californias will be required to have the equivalent of an “all electric” home and an Electric Vehicle, as well. The cost of upgrading to resulting local building codes will fall upon all property owners, hurting Mom & Pop types especially hard. Some may even have to take-out a second mortgage (ARM).
In the end, probably by about 2032 A.D. “You Will Own Nothing and You Will Be Happy”.

Thank you as always, Craig.
Yes, I agree; and it is possible that Gavin Newsom will be the Democrats’ presidential nominee in 2024, giving Americans a clear choice regarding whether to dump the Democrats’ agenda on a wholesale basis.
Hopefully this November’s elections and 2024 will mark the beginning of the end of insanity reigning in our great country.
Obviously undergirding all of this madness are the Russian butcher Vladimir Putin’s threats to launch nukes, and Xi Jinping’s goal of absorbing Taiwan, either or both of which may launch World War III in earnest.
