We Are Making America Great Again

Nosotros hear  a lot near "making America bully once more".

The question has to be asked: What made America neat in the kickoff identify? What did we get less and less of to make America less great, and what do we demand more of to go far peachy once again?

Fifty-fifty among Trump supporters, the answers may differ. And the answers differ wildly – even fundamentally – between Democrats and Republicans. Information technology no longer appears to me that Democrats and Republicans actually want the same things, with only different means of getting there.

America became a peachy country because of its commitment to individual rights. Slavery was a glaring contradiction from the beginning. Simply it was the principle of individual rights that ultimately made slavery a thing of the past, even at the toll of a bloody Civil War.

If information technology were not for the concept of individual rights, slavery would still be with us.

Private rights will always exist the reply to what makes America great. In applied terms, this means private property. It also means freedom of clan. It also means secure borders, not to go along out skillful people but to keep out people who mean to do citizens impairment, such equally terrorists. Individual rights does not mean indiscriminately letting people in so as to gain votes for i of our ii political parties. Yet that'due south what we've been doing.

Nigh basically, individual rights means upholding the First and Second Amendments. The Start Amendment protects the right to liberty of thought. The 2nd Subpoena protects the right to life. Without the correct to speak and call back freely on your property, your listen is enslaved. Without the right to use weapons to protect your power to go on living, your body is enslaved.

The Outset and Second Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, combined with private property and free markets, united mind and body in a way no other civilization in human history ever achieved. That'south what made the states keen.

Democrats take shown again and once more, particularly throughout the Obama years, that they don't care about individual rights. Obama used the IRS and exploited a friendly media to suppress equally much dissent as he could get away with, curt of installing an outright dictatorship. If we have a Democratic regime similar Obama'south again, the adjacent logical steps, based on their own assertions since Donald Trump'south ballot, will be to openly suppress speech. They have already paved the way with their notion of "hate speech". The very idea that any idea can be against the law openly defies our Commencement Subpoena. And Democrats take fabricated it very clear they have no tolerance or patience for any ideas that are not their own. Dictatorship is the final remaining pace they have, and I believe they will have that stride if they manage to get hold of power once more, as they could.

Without individual rights, no society will exist great. That's why we have to fight for private rights even as nosotros fight for the less inadequate of the two parties or candidates to buy us more fourth dimension. Buying time is not the aforementioned equally defending the right principles, but it's a necessary step to avoid collapse into totally wrong principles. Whatever you think of President Trump and the Republican Party, they're arguably the only option left for buying usa time before the Democratic left imposes a complete dictatorship, as I believe they will if given the chance. Donald Trump volition be their rationalization for doing what they've wanted to do for years.

America volition be groovy again only the extent to which it becomes costless again. Freedom includes the right to private property, the right to continue all of what ane earns, and the right to participate in an uncontrolled free market for trading goods and services. And, most of all, it depends on the Starting time and 2nd Amendments.

Our greatness resides in our liberty. If Republicans e'er forget that, then we are done.
