Trump the Racisss-ciss-ciss-ciss

Oh boy! Here we go again. So the “issss” of the day is the absolute favorite of the left and the Democrat Party. Rahrahrahracisss.
 
So apparently President Trump tweeted out the following today to some of the people who always speak ill of the country: “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”
 
It is necessary to say that the President is only inviting his critics when he sends out tweets like this. He could get his point across in a less incendiary manner, but by the same token one could understand what would drive him to say this. So many people come to this country, and refuse to assimilate. They reap the benefits of living in America, and experience lives that they can only imagine in their original countries. Every time they open their mouths to talk about this country, they speak as though is America is the most terrible place in the world. Listening to these people talk, one would think that we live in 1980s South Africa.
 
It is just unbelievable to imagine a people more ungrateful that Americans, many of whom claim this as their adopted country. They measure the country against the standard of perfection, and because it is not perfect, they constantly bash the country, and the only words that they ever speak of it, are to speak ill of it. They refuse to acknowledge how the American system of Government has allowed America to continually work and fix unfairness, injustice and the legitimate problems that we have. But we will never be perfect. That is particularly so in a country that places such a premium on freedom. With freedom comes a lot of issues that naturally ride along with it.
 
So when President Trump says to people like Representative Ilhan Omar to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” though unnecessary; one could understand the place of frustration from which it comes. That statement has been uttered by many frustrated Americans who hear these people and their Democrat enablers verbally rip the country that has been so good to them over and over again.
 
President Trump’s supporters are mindful of his faults, but they like that he loves his country and he stands up in it’s defense. If fact after the very predictable response to his tweet, this is what he said: “So sad to see the Democrats sticking up for people who speak so badly of our Country and who, in addition, hate Israel with a true and unbridled passion,” Trump wrote. “Whenever confronted, they call their adversaries, including Nancy Pelosi, ‘RACIST.’”
 
So go ahead and call President Trump a racist for uttering his frustration at these ingrates if you want to do that. Please understand that for many, your wanton use of the “r” word has been put in the same category as the word “wolf,” as in; “the boy who cried wolf.”
 
Once again, for those of you who do not get it; the reason that President Trump’s supporters back him is not because they agree with everything that he says or does. In fact many times Trump’s supporters recoil when he sometimes opens his mouth, but they are excited by his policies and the fact that he actually works to implement the things he says he would.
 
Trump’s deplorables also remember the way you treated George W. Bush. He too, was a rabid racist. You accused him letting the levees in New Orleans burst in order to rid the city of black people. One of your congressmen called him “our Bull Connor. “You hated George H. W. Bush also, you hated Ronald Reagan with a visceral hatred. You accused Romney of all types of inhumanity. He too was a racist, and he wanted to throw old people off the cliff. In other words, Trump’s supporters have seen this movie before.
 
The only difference is that this time your hatred is even more deep seated and palpable because Trump is an upstart who does not play by the same rules. Trump fights back, and in doing so he sometimes steps in it. But rest assured his supporters are not going to abandon him unless he really does something that is worthy of it.

The high cost of freedom

The saying that freedom is not free is not just a nice sounding cliche. It is a harsh reality that bears witness in blood stained fields across the globe, and in father less homes across the nation. Many other relatives and friends who will never again see their loved ones know all too well that freedom is not free. The bodies laid to rest in the hills of Arlington Cemetary are a poignant reminder of the cost that we pay to preserve freedom. 

In this country’s history there have always been people willing to pay that ultimate price in defense of the freedom that we enjoy, and that so many others take for granted. Those who are the guardians of this liberty that we have been blessed by almighty God to experience have done such a marvellous job that many Americans think that this freedom happens in a vacuum. They live their lives completely oblivious to the sacrifices, and the great toll that is required of those who have sworn to defend this freedom. 

Some Americans even believe that the defenders of this freedom are the very cause of the all the turmoil and the unrest in the world. They naively think that if America was to disarm, then the rest of the world will follow, and that is all it will take to eliminate war from the face of the earth. They are willingly ignorant of human nature. They turn a blind eye to history, and they disregard the norm of oppression that people suffered at the hands of mornarch and despots for most of human existence.

Many of these Americans who hold their country in such contempt fail to realize that this concept of freedom that they enjoy today is relatively new, and was ushered into the world by America. There is however a group of Americans who understands in the truest sense of the words, that freedom indeed is not free. They stand ready to defend the rights of the naive, the ignorant and the ungrateful. They willingly give their lives in defense of those who call them baby killers, war mongers, barbarians, and war criminals. Those who give their lives in defense of freedom understand what is at stake, and because of this they are not easily deterred by those who complain about  America’s so called militarism. 

They understand that in a world of imperfect people, no country is perfect. They know that by standing in defense of liberty, they are also giving the nation the opportunity to be better.  These valiant Americans have been constants in the nations history, whether it was facing off against the mighty British Army or battling their fellow country men for the cause of freedom, they were always there. 

President Ronald Reagan, in a speech honoring the fallen, once paid tribute to one of these noble Americans. The young man’s name was Martin A. Treptow. He gave his life at the young age of 26 in denfense of freedom during the first world war. His attitude exemplified why, in such a short period of time, this country has been able to accomplish so much more than any other nation before it. 

When his body was discovered, his diary was on him, and in it was a short prose he  called “my pledge.” This is what it said: “America must win this war. Therefore I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost, as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone.” Mr. Treptow is just an example of why so many Ameicans can freely live their lives in blissful ignorance and ingratitude. It is the reason why the flag burners, the anthem protesters, and America hating citizens can continue to express what is on their hearts without the fear of political repercussions. 

As we look around the world, the evidence is everywhere that freedom is indeed not free. As Americans we have the choice to complain about all that is wrong in the country, or be thankful that we live in the freest, most prosperous country that has ever existed on the face of the earth. This does not mean that we have to ignore the areas where we need to improve as a nation. The ability, and the willingness to identify real problems where they do exist, and then put systems in place to address them is part of the legacy of those who gave their lives in defense of this great nation. 

Let us honor their sacrifices and be thankful for all of the blessings that we have as Americans.
