Forget the bizarre and evil concept of national original sin that is the malignant idea that America is built upon “systemic racism." America’s true systemic flaw, arising at the time of those miserable progressives of yesteryear and continuing up through the miserable progressives of this rotten year, is what we now call “liberalism.”
Oh, it’s not classical liberalism, with its concern for expanding economic and personal rights – you know, individual liberty. The current inverted mutation of liberalism is all about constricting economic and personal rights and forcing individuals into collective boxes where their individuality is subsumed into an easily exploited and manipulated conformist whole.

And along with it systemic affluence. Without God in a liberal person's life, all they are doing is pursuing riches, power, and greed. It is never enough. If you will, I consider liberalism to be a rejection of God's ways; His Ten Commandments including the Greatest Commandments. In Ecclesiastes, it is referred to as "chasing after the wind" and I don't think there could be a better phrase. Unfortunately it rears its head in identity politics and, therefore, the Democrat Party. What else does the Democrat Party have to run on?

I attended a liberal arts college 60 years ago. There I learned about different peoples, different times, different places. I learned about discovery, industrial construction, material improvement. I read the Great Minds.
No More. Shakespeare? Nope. He's white. Sam Clemens? Nope. Used n word. John Wayne? Nope. Wanted blacks to act white (civilized). Brown Shirts (antifa). Ever growing list of forbidden words. A class black thug glorified by BLM. Kneeling compulsory. Opinions banned.
I object.

That was before "education" was spelled "indoctrination," #2.

The article is longer, but the lede makes it clear anyone still buying “classical liberalism” while the nation is being burned down around us is no longer a loyal American and should be ashamed of themselves. –Vets for Trump 2020

Dont you know Kurt? This is America's 'Original Sin'. Any system that promotes advancement through popularity contests has this flaw.
I'd rather have all candidates selected by a random draw, like jury duty does. Have a draw from all registered political parties. They decide who is running for what office at a 'pre'-convention, and have several individuals running for each position.
Eliminates lifetime political wonks, immediately.
And I'd trust Billy the Plumber, or Joe the clerk over Bill Clinto or Joe Biden, any day of the week.

Too many of the undereducated young people have spent too much of their lives in cyberspace. Blogs, websites, forums that preach anti-American values. They can't get away from their smart devices, 'lest they miss a tweet or facebook rant. They suffer severe peer pressure, fostered by unseen forces they are not even aware of. This has been compounded by the education system and the media, which has failed them, as well as our country.

Friends, we are in the midst of a total gaslighting. Democrats, progressives, BLM-ers, Soros-ites, the media, the entertainment industry, social media channels, Marxists, academics and government-employed "lifers" want us to think WE'RE the crazy ones...that no one believes anymore that true racists are few and far between, that hope is reasonable, that the Constitution is a good foundation on which to establish a nation, that the nuclear family is fundamental to society's health, that marriage is between a man and a woman, that God is real--and good, that work is valuable to a person's well-being and that life--all life--is precious. We're being told that if we believe even ONE of these things, we are not only in the minority, we are deluded and dangerous. Push back! It's disheartening and depressing, yes. And the daily deluge of "news" that reinforces the gaslighting process is downright depressing. But we are not alone. We're not even the minority. We're the silent majority and we MUST keep voting, keep working, keep loving our neighbors and speaking our minds. They are the little man behind the curtain in The Wizard of Oz, NOT the booming, powerful image he projects. Keep the faith. Speak the truth. Love. Work. Live. This is our country, and ours will be the generation called upon to save it.

So true. When you see an over-representation of overweight white girls making up a BLM protest you know that something is wrong. Blacks will not remember who helped them and who didn't when their violence grows to unchecked levels and they start taking everything that is "rightfully" theirs. Never in history has such a privileged, helpless minority achieved so much through the imposition of guilt on useful idiots. They don't seem to realize that it's all going to come to a screeching halt, one way or another. Darwin's Law was not promoted to a Law for no reason.

It's really very simple, leftist prog Profs can't find one single thing from black Africa to teach and preach on, as they can from ancient Greece, or renaissance Europe, etc. All white guys. Even the Bible was written by Jews, who are NOT brown skinned, like the b@stard descendants of Abraham through Esau.
When you can't find anything compelling about your OWN race, you are forced to attack the other person's race and contributions to society. White guys like Descartes be damned, but white guys like Trotsky & Marx are OK.
Leftist liberalism is the enemy of Western Society at this point. Get ready to fight to death for what you hold dear, as described in our so great Constitution and Bill of Rights.

#10 kinda beat me to it. Yeah, that drives me crazy too. Most of us here are actually more liberal (in the classical meaning of the word) in our thinking than most of the people who call themselves, and are called by so many pundits on 'both sides', "liberals". They are unthinking totalitarians who don't tolerate actual liberal thought.
I also hate the word "progressive" used to describe them. They impede the ACTUAL progress of society. The only thing they support being progressive is the Income Tax System, progressively increasing the percentage of confiscation as income rises.

That is why it should NOT be called "liberalism". It should be called what it is...Leftism.
The Left stole the word "liberal " and falsely applied it to themselves to MISLEAD the public into thinking they stood for classic liberal ideals--which they do NOT. Leftists are the opposite of liberal. But we have been helping them continue the lie for generations now by calling them that. We are only "conservative" because our principles harken back to those of our Founders who were very radical and truly progressive in their views for their time. All those labels now are misleading. The left is always manipulating people and perceptions. They know the power of words. All the indoctrinated lemmings think they are on the side of good, but they really are supporting evil in their ignorance.
We MUST never call them "liberal" ever again.
We are the classic liberals!! We stand for freedom, liberty, equality for all under the law, individual inalienable rights, self-determination, etc. Let's get away from labels and call things as they are.
Leftism = tyranny, authoritarianism, and oppression.
Let's end systemic Leftism.

Their “system” of radical progressive Marxism is inherent in their government indoctrination centers formerly called “schools” and in their fake news commie media as well as their make-believe world of movies and tv...
They all need to be abolished
Re-tool EVERYTHING
A rebirth of America
Centered in Conservative Christian values
Oh wait, we already tried that in 1776...
Happy 4th of July!

Why would anyone want to go to such a college, and pay to be around regressive numbskulls.
