America is blessed to be free. The government’s job is to provide for our safety, then ensure our freedoms. The wide-open border demonstrates zero concern for our safety or sovereignty. Before you go to bed do you lock your door? What if America was unable to defend herself? Iran, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and Pakistan regularly shout “Death to America!” Do they seem like nice neighbors to you? It’s very challenging to allow for the speech that we don’t want to hear, but if we don’t, it will be expressed secretly and could erupt violently. This is America as she was founded and thrived for generations.

This glorious experiment is eroding due to leftists who are trying to create a society that is not free. Socialism conditions us to a loss of freedom, then communism moves in. You who are used to being respected would not like to be under their thumb. Be brave and support people and organizations that honor our country. Speak your values courageously to friends, family and community. Political correctness is a dangerous and irresponsible abdication of our responsibility to participate in our government.
