Nationalism vs. Globalism is the Issue

Image
The battle between nationalism and globalism is the issue of our day, not conservatism vs. liberalism, not libertarianism vs. socialism. Forget your chosen “ism” for just a second and notice what is going on in DC and around the world. Get the big picture, friends. Just listen to what globalist Angela Merkel of Germany said recently about nationalism.  According to Merkel , “Nation states must today be prepared to give up their sovereignty.”   Really now. Get the Big Picture And earlier this month, globalist French President Emmanuel Macron scolded President Trump directly , disparaging Trump’s patriotism at the World War I armistice centennial in Paris, alleging, "Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism.”   So according to Macron, one cannot love one’s country and be a patriot at the same time.  Macron claims love of country and patriotism are opposites.  These are word tricks, gaslighting, and they won’t work.  And you might

155 Years Ago, Remembered

155 years ago, as I write, after an overnight stay at the home of a local supporter, President Abraham Lincoln readied himself for the short carriage ride to the Gettysburg Battlefield.  Lincoln had not been scheduled to speak that day, only to bear witness to an oration by the well-known expositor, Edward Everette.  As Lincoln left the White House the day before, wife Mary urged him not to go as Tad, their youngest, lay feverish in the bed.  But Lincoln understood the importance of the trip to the site where four months prior, after the bloodiest battle of the Civil War, Union forces had finally been able to stop the Confederate General Robert E. Lee from advancing.  Had Lee been victorious, the outcome of the war could have been much different. The purpose of Lincoln’s trip that day was to help commemorate the Gettysburg Battlefield as the final resting place of Americans on both sides of the ideological conflict.  These were citizen soldiers who fought a battle that would signi

The Greatest Movie Ever

I’m just watching the same movie you are, friends.  Maybe the difference is that I see it as just that, a movie.  It has a plot, which is already written and decided, a cast of characters, a location, a set of circumstances.  And each character has his or her motivations.  We have President Trump, for example, who according to the trailer is the self-made billionaire whose pure love of country has made it impossible for him to remain in the satisfying comforts of his home high atop Trump Tower, and who, at the very last moment possible, walks away from the opulence and grandeur of a capitalist empire that took 50 years to build, compelled by circumstance to save America, the country he loves, from a final internal overthrow by the evil and diabolical globalists. You have the attractive and talented Trump family supporting him, the stunning wife who speaks with a mysterious accent.  You have the malevolent deep state, which includes members of each major political party, in both Ho

America, Providence or Destruction?

One obvious truth of social media is that Americans will never again make political decisions without input from others.  It is pretty easy to see where most stand on the issues.  It should be easy to see where I stand.  I’ve been accused of shilling for President Trump, for wearing a tinfoil hat, for being naïve about Trump’s supposed ulterior motives.  I hear Trump is a puppet for the elite, that he is a member of the cabal himself, that everything he does is in seek of even more power and money.  Trump is a megalomaniac’s envy.  How could I be so blind? But even the critics would have to agree, Trump is the rainmaker.  Where Trump campaigns, it rains Republican votes.  As we speak the GOP stands to gain vital seats in the US Senate, holding important Governorships in swing states such as Florida and Ohio.  In that same breath though, I admit an uneasy feeling going to bed Tuesday night.  At that time, it was looking very much like I, along with all the other Republicans in Forsy

Storm is at the Door

In last week’s article entitled, “It’s Payback Time,” I recalled growing up in “Camelot” prior to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.  Afterward, even from my 8-year-old perspective, the world changed, for the worse.  People I knew changed for the worse.  The trajectory of world events changed for the worse.  As America mourned, the outlook for peace in the world retreated, practically abandoned. As his fate approached, JFK decided to pull US advisors out of Vietnam, sent there by Eisenhower.  Doing so would have prevented an eventual military involvement that would leave 58,000 Americans dead, their names carved in consolation on a wall in DC, countless US casualties, American families irrevocably broken, not to mention millions of enemy victims. Five months prior to his assassination, JFK ordered the US Treasury Department to begin abandoning the policy of borrowing Federal Reserve currency to pay the bills of the US government. On June 4th 1963, Kennedy exercise
