True Leadership is Not the Democrat Party Way

 

True Leadership is Not the Democrat Party Way

True leadership sometimes demands the hardest thing of all, doing nothing, a wait and see attitude, especially if one is uncertain of which path to take. Upon Trump's election in 2016, had Democrats given him the opportunity to fall on his face or succeed on his own, to flourish or flounder, America would have experience unbridled prosperity.

Instead, they spent limitless energy on obstruction, rebellion, vengeance and revenge in order to remove him from office. A partisan-based failed coup attempt, designed to remove him for office, was based on unfounded accusations and outright lies, fed and nurtured by the like-minded hatred of Trump by the Liberal media.

Obstruction was more appealing to them than seeing him succeed in any way. The more campaign promises he kept, the more they dug in their heel and resisted. Their opposition ever spurred a #RESIST movement on social media.

Resist what? A growing economy? Jobs returning from overseas that former failure of a president Obama said would require a magic wand to accomplish, but that Trump brought back?

Or was it the fact that he had the nerve to shatter the dreams they had of placing the first woman in the Oval Office, one who felt she was entitled to it? Was it his killing of terrorists who were responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans? Democrats scolded him for that. Trump had the uncanny ability to make Democrats even moan for the conquered terrorists.

It really did not matter to them what Trump was accomplishing. They were unable to do the hard thing, just let him succeed or fail on his own. Displaying their own failure to understand what it means to lead, they continued to hate the purest American to take the helm since Ronald Reagan.

Obstruction and ridicule became the daily arrows that filled their quiver and they let them fly with every opportunity. Regardless of the action he took or the accomplishments he made, they foamed at the mouth and swore regularly to take America back from the tyrant they pained Donald Trump to be. But back to what? An Obama era fraught with failure and scandal? Unemployment numbers they simply accepted as fact but that Trump erased?

For the Democrat Party to be declared as “Progressive” is a curious label seeing as how they strive without mercy to turn America backward rather than to enable its progress forward.

Racism was not erased nor was it even abated during Obama’s tenure. It flourished and racism reared its ugly head like it had not in decades. Riots in Black communities of Ferguson, Missouri, Oakland and Los Angeles, California and Brooklyn, New York emphasized the growing divide between the races that Obama was supposed to have alleviated with his very presence.

The divide between the classes, the 99% and the 1%, widened and resulted in the Occupy Wall Street domestic terrorism events that destroyed and trashed cities, a movement praised by Democrats.

The Fast and Furious fiasco, a scenario designed by the Obama Administration to bring attention to the gun trade in America and get public opinion on the side of doing away with the 2nd Amendment, actually funneled guns into Mexico. Americans died and the idea backfired.

Still through it all, Democrats never attacked and obstructed Barack Obama for his failures. Democrats are nothing, if not ideologues and partisan to the core.

Barack Obama may have not been the choice of millions of Americans, but the Republican Party did not commence an endless parade of false accusation and charges to run him from office. He lost over 5 million voters between his elections but no impeachment proceeding based on nothing but dislike, were ever brought against him.

But with Donald Trump, it was different. A smaller, less dedicated man, would not have survived the onslaught. The fact that he has a list of accomplishments numbering into the hundreds is testament to the fact that, as he always said, he was there to fight for America and place American interests first. That very idea still revolts Democrats who desire to see America fall from grace and become just another failed country embracing Third World status.

So, had Democrats taken a real leadership role and allowed Trump to rise or fall on his own, America would not be as divided as it is. But with Democrats, obtaining power is Priority #1. Removing Donald Trump from office, righting what they saw as a wrong in 2016, was their top priority. And it never relented.

It was reported 19 hours after Trump was elected, “The impeachment of Donald J. Trump has begun.” The man who unselfishly gave up his salary to work for America, was never to see a moments peace.

Democrats nor the Liberal and biased media ever gave him a chance. What he was able to accomplish, he did in spite of them, not with the help of them. It will never be known what America could have become had he not had to fight them every single day of his term, much less what could have been done for America with them working side by side in unity, a myth Democrats still claim they are for.

Allowing Trump to do his thing, fail or succeed was never an option for Democrats. Their continued obstruction cost America more than we will ever realize, but Democrats never gave that idea a second thought. America needed real leadership and they got it, in spite for the Democrat Party and the role they played in trying to bring him, and America down.

America Has Forgotten Its Role. It Is Time For It To Lead Again

There will always be a remnant of Americas that will not buy into the lie that our Patriotism should be replaced with guilt, our courage should be replaced with cowardice and our precious liberties replaced with dhimmitude.

America has done its share of deeds for which we should feel regret but our apologies have been made and it is time to raise our head and proudly stand tall as the greatest hope of mankind, not bend in shame nor bow in submission to those we perceive as superior. Our role in this world has been to lead the way, to shed light on a dark path that has in so many corners of this globe led only into more darkness. It is a role we cannot afford to relinquish. America will always be a beacon of hope despite the agenda to replace true hope with shallow hype.

No one else is fit to carry the standard that has set us apart since our creation and it is our responsibility to mankind to see that we always stand head and shoulders above a struggling world even if we do not have all the answers. We must never settle for being a part of the problem just because others choose that role to play but America must always be the place where the impossible is possible and where it is accomplished often.

The guilt we are told we should carry serves no purpose. The shame we are told is ours serves no purpose. While even our leaders envision a post-American world, for the sake the people the world over, that must never become reality. Our job is not to be just like everybody else. It never was. And our job will never be to apologize for what we have accomplished. America changed the history of the world in ways never before imagined possible and we refuse to live in shame for our mistakes.

Life’s greatest lessons come from making mistakes but you shake it off and get back in the game or you are useless to the world. It is time to reclaim our rightful place.

Created for a higher purpose we have turned wilderness into a paradise and traded blood and sacrifice for freedom, liberty and untold opportunity. Simply because we have leaders who cheerfully bow in inferiority does not mean that we have to clothe ourselves in that spirit. We can be humble without sacrificing our dignity. We can serve without becoming slaves. We can lead without arrogance and audacity. There is little in this world more noble than a leader who serves in humility and leads with strength and courage not an arrogant display or misuse of his position.

Men who changes this world for the better have done so with a nobility of heart and a understanding of purpose that cannot be replaced by arrogance disregard for that purpose.

America can be looked to not because we are better human beings than those who are denied opportunity but because we have been chosen by God to show the potential and possibilities available to mankind. No nation has been so imaginative and innovative as America. No nation has been so loving and compassionate as America. No country has offered more hope and opportunity and a place where a man or woman can expand and grow to experience the potential of humanity as America has proven herself to be.

There is power in taking the role of world leadership with humility, grace and honor. It is not power that corrupts but the misuse of it. The same fire that heats our homes and cooks our food can also destroy if it gets out of control and expands beyond its useful boundaries. The same water that gives us life can drown us too. Such is power, a life and world-changing force that will destroy those who think they can be its master and wield it selfishly and foolishly.

When those in power lose their way, America is at risk. In many corners of the world today and throughout the history of man we have seen what happens when power is used by selfish ruthless men simply because they could. There will always be those whose jealousy and hatred for our way of life will seek our destruction. It is a fact of the world we live in. But their agenda should never deter us from our own noble one.

No one can move ahead with head bowed in shame for past mistakes. We have to hold our head up to see where we are going. Our focus must be on the future of America not its past and where we are destined to go not where we have been.

Our enemies can envision a world with no America. Can you? When I do I see a world not fit to live in. One where a hopeless humanity has no higher standard to look to and without that example believing in a better world seems futile.

To emphasize it once more, our apologies have been said. Our penitence paid. Our regrets acknowledged. Now it is time to recognize our continued greatness and boldly, proudly and with purpose move in it to a brighter tomorrow. America depends upon it. The world depends upon it. Humanity depends upon it.

We Need A Leader of Character and Obama Ain't Him

It is easier to bring people down to the level of those who have less and are less than it is to do the work necessary to bring up the less fortunate. There are two ways to have the best house on the block. One, you work to beautify your own home or two, you burn down everyone else's. Obama wants to burn down them all. It is easier. It is the way of the thug and the brute. It is the Chicago way. It is the Obama way.

And until and unless the American people rise up and become a voice that cannot be ignored by pet media outlets and politicians with their hands over their ears, we will continue to be victimized for our beliefs, our uniqueness, our strengths as he and his motley crew try to spread the misery around. We will continue to be told that we are all the same, we deserve the same bank balance whether or not we work to build it, we all deserve the big house and fancy car even if we cannot pay for it. We are told that some salaries are obscene and need to be taken by the government and put to better use. They’ll take from those who work and give to those who can’t get off the couch because Jerry Springer is on unless it is to open a fresh bag of Doritos. The plan is for us to become less so that those who have less will not get their feelings hurt.

That was the message of Communism – make everyone equal. Erase the class differences. Only the elite leaders will be different, after all, they are called by God to ride roughshod over the ignorant masses because the people are basically too stupid to know what is good for them. Communism has not worked as a valid form of government anywhere in the world and a socialism that seeks to displace capitalism will not work here.

We in America cling to their “religions and guns” and liberal progressives cannot stomach that because they are the signs of a free people. There is a remarkable difference between slaves and freemen, and we choose freedom from the tyranny of an oppressive government. It is why we crossed the ocean and started over here to create this country. We refuse to return to those days of oppression ever again. We wish to remain free and not to have to fight that battle again. Hear that Washington? (I said that we preferred not fight that battle again, I did not say we won’t.)

The only portion of the country that is expanding is the government and that is their goal. Once the government controls all the jobs, the banks, the car manufactures, the unions, the salaries, the insurance companies, the health care benefits, they control us and we will not longer be free people. Slavery is never out of style for those in power who corruptly wield their iron fist over people they see as unimportant and cattle to be herded, sheep to be sheared, and fowl to be slaughtered for sake of a fancy meal. Sacrifices must be made and in their eyes, we are the sacrificial lambs.

We are told that the era of American supremacy is over and that we need to ask permission of third world countries what temperature we can set our thermostats on, what car we should drive, whether or not we have the right to live as free men and women and even if we have the right to defend ourselves against the force of a criminal.

Terrorist who seek our demise fervently are given rights and coddled. Our leader even could not find it in his heart to call the Fort Hood terrorist what he was- a Muslim terrorist. See was that so hard to do? In fact even before the truth got out that he had not been killed in the attack but was alive in the hospital, our government had already determined that it was not a terrorist act. How foolish, misguided and arrogant.

The devout purpose of terrorist is strengthened by a government that hasn’t the backbone to call them for what they are and to sound the alarm to the danger. We are led by a man who claims that the sound of the Imam’s call to prayer is one of the most beautiful sounds in all the earth while we see those same people cheer as our buildings fall in a cloud of dust choking out lives and futures forever.

We are led by a man who watches an evil government in its race to become a nuclear power and he refuses to stand with that country’s own people who oppose the oppressive regime that steals its way into control. He still believes that his silver-tongued rhetoric still thinks he can crumble their will into a sobbing heap apologizing for having ever wanted to hurt us.

Was anyone really surprised that it took days of killing in the streets of Iran before our president found the backbone to even speak up about the Iranian government forces that were doing the killing? He validated the election Iran’s people refused to acknowledge. Our leader cowered from the fray because he didn’t want to be seen as interfering.

Yet this same leader seeks to interfere into every aspect of our lives without even losing a minute of sleep over it, as he tells us what to eat, how much money we can make, and how we should live our lives. He takes millions of dollars from us and lies about where it goes and what good it does. He boasts of bolstering the economy but fails to explain that it is the economy of China that he has strengthened. He spends money he does not have, borrowing to shackle our future. When the debt is called one day because they lose faith in our government, we will be slaves once again to an oppressive force – China.

President Obama hides from the responsibility that comes with the job he tricked so many into giving him. I say tricked because basically every reason he gave for people to vote for him, he has negated by his actions since taking office. If the people had known the truth they tried so hard not to see, he would not have had a chance for the nomination, much less to be sworn into office.

There is an uprising coming to this country fueled by the arrogance of a twisted Chicago minded politician even if he thinks we will eventually see things his way and feebly bow at his altar and surrender our souls. In seeking to control it all and all of us, he will lose it all. I pray “hasten the day”.

Only then can America have a chance to upright itself and return to her former glory. With a leader who has surrendered to world opinion and believes his own press clippings, America will always suffer and suffer badly. We need a true American to lead us in character, honesty, truth and humbleness and leaders can only lead where they have themselves been. Obama has not even visited the places of character, honesty, truth or humbleness, much less lived there. I doubt he has the ability to lead us into such territory so unfamiliar to him.
