I was born in the greatest country in the world, perhaps in history, the United States of America.

‘); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1609268089992-0’); }); document.write(”); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.pubads().addEventListener(‘slotRenderEnded’, function(event) { if (event.slot.getSlotElementId() == “div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3028”) { googletag.display(“div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3028”); } }); }); }

But now, seventy years later, the U.S. is no longer the land of the free or the home of the brave.

Today, you are most definitely not free to speak your mind. In fact, you can lose everything you own or hold dear for having the wrong views. But don’t take my word for it, ask Donald Trump.

And forget home of the brave. As the Deep State attempts to crucify our former and perhaps future president in new and ever more bizarre ways, what are the politicians of Trump’s party doing about it?

‘); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1609270365559-0’); }); document.write(”); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.pubads().addEventListener(‘slotRenderEnded’, function(event) { if (event.slot.getSlotElementId() == “div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3035”) { googletag.display(“div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3035”); } }); }); }

That’s right, putting their heads in the sand and their considerable fundaments in the air, the braver ones sending out strongly worded letters and subpoenas that are summarily ignored. A party of cowards.

If you hold conservative beliefs, or God forbid, Christian ones, there is no one to protect you. You’re on your own.

So, as a public service, I’m going to discuss the various types of wrongthink that will get your front door busted in at 4:00 in the morning by the Federal Bureau of Intimidation.

Let’s start with abortion. Repeat after me, abortion is good, abortion is life affirming (for the mom, obviously). Never mention to anyone how the unborn baby, at any time up to and including birth, is violently dismembered and killed, brought out into the world in pieces. And don’t ever point out in public that killing one’s unborn child violates the most powerful of all human emotions, the maternal instinct. Simply ignore the terrible emotional toll abortion must take on the mother. Abortion’s good. Got it?

Now let’s do rioting. Mostly peaceful rioting by minorities is a good thing, a form of social justice, even during a pandemic that killed millions. Rioting by white people, however, such as occurred on January 6th, is distinctly evil, a threat to democracy, and the worst thing since 9/11. Simply ignore all the Jan. 6 footage, especially anything that shows peaceful, unarmed protestors, oodles of poorly disguised federal agitators, or police opening doors to the Capitol building. In today’s America, rioting is in the eyes of the beholder.

Speaking of feds, the FBI has long been considered the preeminent law enforcement agency in the world, and as smug little Christopher Wray would tell you, the bureau enforces the law without favor. Keep telling yourself that, and simply forget that the FBI tried to take out a duly elected president with the Russia Collusion Scam. Or that they lied to FISA courts to spy on the Trump campaign and later, his administration. Or that the Feebs have put into writing their intent to target MAGA supporters, traditional Catholics, and parents who disagree with leftist school boards. All that must be forgotten. Capiche?
