FREEDOM IS FRAGILE

I recently wrote expressing my concern about the mental aptitude of Joe Biden. It doesn't take a medical degree to see how much he is failing every day. His grasp of obvious matters is terrible. He cannot respond intelligently to simple questions. He seems to be in a fog. 

 

I am a Republican who voted for the other guy but that is not a factor in my appraisal of this situation. This situation is dangerous. We don't live in a vacuum. The whole world is watching us. 

 

The next problem is Kamala Harris. She is better suited to manage a girl scout troop than this great country. Sadly that brings us to the next problem, and it's a huge one. That would be Nancy Pelosi, who, as you know, would be next in line for the Presidency. Please somebody, wake me from this nightmare.

 

One of the first responsibilities of citizens who live in a free country is to vote, but to first educate themselves on the issues and the candidates. Joe Biden became President because of an anti-Donald Trump vote, not a pro Joe Biden vote. Biden's handlers kept him hidden in a basement and far away from intelligent questions during the campaign. The media seemed okay with that arrangement and basically guaranteed Biden's win. Now we are all left with the aftermath.

 

Because of stupid actions on pipelines and oil drilling, gas prices are through the roof. Inflation has only begun to show its ugly head. And, it's only going to get worse. All items in the grocery store are getting more expensive. 

 

While all of this is bad enough, the real danger to this great country is that the world is watching us. That world includes our friends and, of course, our enemies. They all see what is obvious to us and that is the weakness of our President. Not a good image to portray to the world.

 

I believe the Democrats will stop at nothing in order to get and keep power. You are seeing today what happens when they have that power. What I don't understand is why normally intelligent people who happen to be Democrats can't see what they are doing to this country. And if they do see what they are doing, why? Who gains by the destruction of our economy and our way of life? How does the national media benefit from the collapse of a free America?

 

I'm sorry if this column sounds like fear mongering, but frankly I am afraid. Not so much for myself because at my age I won't see too much of this failure, but for my children and grandchildren. And I fear for my country that I love. 

 

The question is, what is a reasonable response to what they are doing? I do not believe it is to take up arms against our government. We don't have to do that. It is as simple as good people who care about the direction of the country getting to the polls and electing the right individuals to take care of it. For the sake of the future of America, we absolutely have to get rid of idiots like Nancy Pelosi. We absolutely have to regain a majority in both the House and the Senate. 

 

One other point. Just because a person has an R after their name, that doesn't necessarily cause them to vote the right way. We need strong leadership to hold a Republican caucus together. The Democrats do that and we have to fight fire with fire.  

 

We have several months ahead of us with the wrong people in charge. Biden probably won't be around for the finish of his elected term. Harris could destroy a lot in a short period of time. If we elect the right people in the next election, we can put the reins on those who would ruin this country. It is truly up to us. Freedom is fragile. We have to protect it.
