Our Country Is Under Assault

Are we into a second civil war. I mean, it's almost like it's an all out hate and war when you bring up politics with those of whom do not agree with you. It's a battle between Democrats and Republicans, and more specifically, between Liberals and Conservatives.

Liberals believe that we need to take care of all the needy people, and the cost doesn't matter. They believe we are a large enough country that we can afford it. They believe if you don't want to help the needy, that you are inconsiderate and mean.

Conservatives believe that what's most important is protecting freedom and liberty. They believe that if we grow government too large in our attempts to take care of the needy, that the cost is freedoms and liberties. The more control the government has, the more freedoms and liberties are taken from the people.

So, this is the battle. It has grown ever so intense. It's almost as though you can no longer have a civil discussion about politics with someone who disagrees with you on issues.

If you are a conservative like me, you know you are in the mainstream. You are a person who supports the idea that liberties come from God, not documents. That documents can only deny these liberties, they cannot take them away.

We are now under attack from within. Their objective is to destroy the United States. They don't want it to be a Super Power anymore. They believe that America is the cause of all that is wrong with the world, as opposed to the solution to all the problems. They believe that American wealth comes at the cost of the wealth of other nations. They believe other nations are poor at the because of the U.S., mainly because there is only so much money to go around, and the U.S. is hogging it all up.

Here is a quote from Rush Limbaugh after the riots in Charlotte, North Carolina, where many Civil War Statues were vandalized and no one was arrested. Rush said:

Now, folks, in order to defend America, which I believe is incumbent upon all of us, in order to defend America, you have to begin knowing our history. If you’re gonna defend the United States of America, you have to know our history. You have to know the purpose of the United States of America. You have to know unequivocally and proudly the United States’ place in history. And that is why erasing and distorting our history is crucial for the left to succeed.

None of this that is happening on the left is random. None of the riots, none of the protests. They are not the result of the left being offended by individual acts. Antifa didn’t show up in Charlottesville because they found out something was going to happen that offended them. They showed up in Charlottesville to create mayhem and cause hell. They showed up in Ferguson, Missouri, to do the same thing.

They showed up in Baltimore to do the same thing — and wherever they show up today and tomorrow and next week, it’s by design, on purpose, has an objective and an agenda. And that agenda is to erase American history. That agenda is to distort, erase, and impugn our history. It is crucial if they are to succeed. Because, you see, if enough Americans can be persuaded that America, as founded, is unjust — if enough Americans can be persuaded that America, as founded, is inherently racist and immoral and illegitimate — then it will be all that much easier to erase America as founded.

The two go hand in hand, which is the objective of all of these groups on the left. Whatever they’re called and wherever they go and however they organize and whatever their day-to-day purpose, their objective is to erase the history of America. It’s to restate it, to recharacterize it in such a way as to convince a majority of Americans that their country is illegitimate and has been from the get-go — is unjust and racist and bigoted and has been from the get-go.

If enough Americans can be persuaded of all of that — that America is inherently racist, that America is and has been a lie — then it’s over. That is the objective, and we are in the midst of it. Sometimes you’re so close to the forest you don’t see the trees. That’s what we are in the midst of here: An ongoing effort to erase America by discrediting the entire premise of our culture, our history, our founding. The objective is to create in as many American minds as possible that America, as founded, is not worth defending. Serious times.

You have to know American history. You have to know the purpose. You have to know America’s place in history. You have to know why 56 men risked their lives and their fortunes and their sacred honor to declare independence from the tyranny of the day. You have to know why they did that. You have to know what they faced. You have to have a deep appreciation for your individual personal liberty. You have to have a deep appreciation for the history of the world — which is that until the United States came along, that didn’t exist as a charter of government.

There were people that had individual liberty and freedom. They ran tyrannical countries, they ran authoritarian countries, they ran dungeons, or they were wealthy elite. But the vast majority of human beings who have lived on this planet have never come close to knowing what life is like in the United States of America. But around the world today and since our founding, everybody alive does know and tries to get here — temporarily, permanently, what have you.

And yet all of it is under assault and being rewritten with the theme being that this country is not worth it, that it is deeply flawed. America is not worth defending. It’s inherently racist and unjust.

That is from August 18, 2017, edition of the Rush Limbaugh show.  I think he pretty much hit the nail on the head. I have listened to the podcast to that show over and over again, and can't seem to get enough of it. It is so true. Here is the rest of the transcripts if you're interested, and even a convenient podcast so you can listen.
