Who Are We?

Who are we? That was not a question even a few years ago, everyone would have said: Americans. Some might have broken it further down into regions or states, but generally Americans. Now, that answer might be Venezuelans, Senegalese or Iranian, because a greater and greater portion of our population are people who have no interest in America other than as a source of plunder or an enemy to invade.

But there is a core of Americans, some of whom are confused, who think they are United States citizens. While that is technically true, the government who seems to have no fidelity to the United States Constitution, there is no United States and therefore, one cannot be a citizen of something that does not exist. What does exist is the place where we grew up, where we live now, the land that our forefathers tread. That place, wherever it is, is America.

As Americans, we are being forced to understand that the governing framework that has existed for nearly two hundred and fifty years, doesn’t work. It relied on the common understanding of duty, pride and loyalty that persists in some, but not in those who administer and populate that framework today. To corrupt the framework, those values had to be eradicated, separated from those who administer it and a great deal of effort has been expended by the enemies of America to do just that.

America, under whatever political framework it operates, so long as it enables Americans to be Americans, will always be a giant pool of power, wealth and innovation. Some of that is because it draws the talented from all around the globe, who suffer under oppression and suppression to its shores by offering freedom. This is the source of the “diversity is our strength” mantra that has been abused to the point of destroying freedom and opportunity. Diversity is our strength, when it brings strength (talent) with it to combine with the market and the habit of entrepreneurial investment. But diversity itself, just being different or opposite, but not of any particular skill or talent, is not our strength, but our burden. That burden has grown exponentially since 2021.

Freedom and wealth are the magnets that draw talent and skill to America from other lands and that bolsters our strength and wealth. Remove freedom and wealth from the equation, which the current regime is determined to do, and it no longer draws people with talent and skill, but actually starts to work in the opposite direction. The lack of freedom and common wealth is chasing talent and skill from America and scattering it upon the globe. In one direction it concentrates talent and skill into the giant pool of power, wealth and innovation and in the other direction it disperses it where it lacks the power, wealth and market to bring those ideas to fruition and effectively dies of loneliness.

None of that is what’s taking place now at the border. That’s the cover for the wholesale invasion of America, our America, the one that generations have struggled and worked to create, build and maintain. It will be ours to defend. The last war on American soil by invaders was in 1812. This will be much more difficult, because no one will be on the side of the people, not the military and not the police, just us. Those who now strut and carry the water of the destroyers will cower behind their badges. They will be forced to choose a side, but that will not allow for absolution. They owe a debt to their countrymen for failing their responsibilities to date. The stench will not easily wash off.

Border patrol agents are complicit in this betrayal. They execute the lies put forth by the Biden Administration, pretending that invaders are refugees, accepting lies as the truth and extending the graces of the hard-working American people to them as if it’s their money to give, their accommodations to provide. Maine recently built a housing development solely for these illegals, but they could not manage the same for our veterans.

Ask yourselves, you Americans, who have worked hard and provided the blessings of this land, fought for it, lived on without the comfort of one or both parents due to war, famine or disease, why have these politicians not gone to the same extents for the veterans? Why are they so desperate to garner the favor of these invaders? The easy answer is for votes. These same politicians can make it possible for them to vote, to displace you not only from your land, but your voice. The harder answer is that they were brought here to fight against you on these streets to claim America for themselves and their foreign interests who now bribe our politicians to allow it.

Our politicians are continuing on in their roles, these fake positions, in which they pretend to pursue the aims of the people. Instead, they are merely functioning as siphons of funds from the people to their political allies both at home and abroad. They strip from us the hard-earned pennies to throw into the street as insults.

While I have been extremely critical of Texas Governor Greg Abbott in the past, he has shown some backbone lately, seizing the land around Eagle Pass, one of the worst border crossings, and banishing the border patrol from those areas, exerting the 10th Amendment. Of course, this has inspired a lawsuit from the DOJ. But this is exactly the sort of exertion of rights that must be done. We are the possessors of our destiny, if only we will seize it.
