Another week of the dark side of American history.

    It was a very diverse time when I was growing up in 
eastern North Carolina in the  50s and 60s.
    Many things were changing. My Dad was a Marine and a 
Democrat but he was conservative. I remember when he decided
to become a Republican.  He wrestled with the idea and 
concluded that he was unable to move that far to the Left.
    Rules are rules and the law is the law. 
    He was one of the millions that got pushed aside.
    So what happened to force America off the prosperous 
track we had been on after the Korean Conflict years?
    The GDP has almost consistantly grown except during
conflicts and tax cuts. Roughly every 10 years we would 
endure a recession but growth was pretty consistant right 
up to the Obama years when it reversed or slowed drastically
due to the Fed manipulating the interest rates.
    Another interesting fact is that in most years during
Democtatic Administrations unemployment averaged higher. 
    When you get down around 4-5% we reach what is consedered
"fully employed" status. It is currently around 3.5%. FYI:
That's very good.
    I am getting off track. There were certain times when
America was vulnerable to change.
    By the 1960s, America was trending toward urban devel-
opment. It was actually causing cultural divisions in the 
larger cities.
    A young man named Saul Alinski became the first self-
proclaimed Community Organizer. Born in Chicago the son of
Russian immigrants. 
Chicago will and does play a major role in the movement
to socialize America. Mostly he was fighting the establish-
ment. He stirred up the Black Power movement, unions and 
other ethnic based groups. He admittedly told many lies to
disrupt and repeated them until people accepted them as 
truth.
    I describe him as the original, liberal brainwasher.
In the late 1960s he wrote a book "Rules for Radicals"
which explained his idea on how to Fundamentally transform
America. If that sounds familiar, it is because that same 
term has been repeated by many notable Democrats.  This 
includes the Clintons and Obama. More recently by a number
of the Class of 2020 Democratic Presidential hopefuls.
    Fundamentally Transforming America is code for social-
izing the country.
    To do this he needed a strategy. 
FYI: Alinski dedicated his book to Lucifer. I am not at all
surprised.
    I will elaborate on his book next week and tell you just
how close America came to becoming a socialized nation.
    I like to think that we avoided it only by God's divine
intervention.
    Come back, I am just getting started.

Conservatively,

Hello again.

    Picking up where I left off, I promised to explain how
the push to change America from a democracy to a 
communist/socialist nation.     
   Maybe first we should ask ourselves a few simple questions.
   What does America mean to you? 
   What does being an American mean to you?
   Are you a loyal patriot?
   Are you willing to die for America?
   Do you really, deep down, love America?
   You need to be honest with yourself and answer these 
questions first. So many people 'talk the talk' but don't 
'walk the walk'. They complain about everything they find
wrong. Then they act like they are entitled to things that
will benefit them.
   Those who align themselves with hate groups and anti 
anything groups are not patriotic Americans.
   If you can't show respect for the flag, national anthem,
and pledge of allegiance, you are not loyal, you just happen
to be here. 
   If you are a true American, you don't need a hyphen and
you don't need a mask. All you need to do is stand up and
respect this great nation.
   If you are determined to destroy our laws, the Constitu-
tion, traditions, or our Christian or moral values, I, for
one do not want you here.
   Being an American should mean that you're part of the 
wealthiest, most powerful, diverse nation in the world. One
that offers you the opportunity to become anything you want.
You have choices you can't get on any other continent on the 
planet.
   A country where you can create, own, grow, and operate a
business. 
   You have the freedom to travel about, virtually without
restriction and visit some of the most beautiful natural
sights, or man-made attractions.
   We once had the right to demand that your fellow Americans
respect your home, our traditions, and flag. 
   We would freely pledge our allegience and sing the National
anthem. 
   There was even a time when we would even, dare I say it,
PRAY.
   Do you get a lump in your throat when the flag is being 
raised? Do you get choked up while the national anthem is being
sung? Maybe when the pledge of Allegience is being recited? Do 
you feel the pride?
   These things are exactly what it means to be an American.
   If you can't love America where would that leave you if
America didn't care about you?
   Being a true American is not just a label but a badge of
honor earned by our actions. Often too, by the actions of our
ancestors who gave of themselves. 
   Maybe it's time to do some soul searching. Do you really
think any other country would be willing to take you in? With
your attitude and lack of ethics, would they care of you?
   Sorry that I got sidelined. Next week I will get to the
efforts to convert America to Communism / Socialism and the
inspiration behind it.
   Wish you all a blessed and prosperous week.

 Conservatively,
 John

    Are you as fed up as I am with the half truths and lies
the media is feeding us?
    These past few years have made me wonder just "What in
the world has happened to the Mainstream Media?"
    I can't possibly be the only one.
    I decided the treatment Americans are getting from the
mainstream media has sunk to a pathetic disgusting level.
It's not even worthy of being called journalism.
    I decided to start a blog to attempt to research and
share what I learn and maybe together we can start to rev- 
erse the trust and faith lost by the people.
    The blog will be a means for me to reach out to 
Conservatives, Democrats and Independents. 
   All faith in the media has left Americans with no 
reliable sources to inform us of what has been and is 
actually going on in front of us.
   We are in desperate need for truth and facts. 
   We deserve to know who said what and what was actually 
said. Not what someone chooses to fill our heads with what
they think was meant. 
    This is not a new phenomenon. The media was recruited 
decades ago. Most people trusted what people like Cronkite, 
Brinkley, Reasoner, and others told them. We all felt they
were believable. Why would they lie?
    In a couple of weeks I'll get into who convinced the
media to think they can control the people. 
They could influence the people's perspective on nearly
everything, not just politically. 
    Their role was an important key to influencing many 
American's choice of political party affiliations.
    The media found that if they told the same lies often 
enough with enthusiasm and never retract it unless caught,
the public would accept it as truth. 
This seemed to empower the liberal side of things. They 
saw this as an opportunity to exploit this trust as a 
weakness. 
    Being lied to then was the exception not the norm. 
There were consequences.
If not by the law, our parents, teachers, clergy and 
often peers would advise us to mend our unethical ways.
Most local sources for fair, unbiased, non-partisan and 
truthful news are long since gone.
    As the political divide rapidly formed the people  
got sucked in or pushed aside. This destroyed the times 
when people could discuss politics at the local coffee 
shop or diner. Democrats and Republicans could exist in  
the same family, on the same pew at church, or at a week- 
end picnic. People were able to set aside their political 
differences and be Americans first.
    Next week I will dig into how the Communist/Socialist 
plans for America were manifested. It's been downhill  
every since but there is hope on the horizon.
    I plan to publish a weekly blog beginning about the
time that Republicans split from the liberal side of the
Democratic party. 
    Between now and November, I will do my best to be as 
factual as possible.
    I will welcome constructive comments. 
   Coming from a Conservative, once Independent, I hope 
you like what you read.

Conservatively,
John
