It’s such an odd thing.
People assume the Christian moral structure under which they flourish was a reality that was somehow magically present before Christianity.
It wasn’t.
If human history proved anything, it’s that any moral structure that humans attempt to create outside of Christianity resulted in innumerable deaths.
Democracy is when 51% vote to strip away political representation from the 49%, keeping the latter in a perpetual state of servitude to the former with no power to change it.
Which is why the distinction between democracy and republic is not merely pedantic.
"There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism -- by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide."

I woke up in Europe to the disappointing news of the elections.
Voters chose socialism and communism over capitalism, illegals over American citizens, and the rights of trans women over those of real girls and women. They chose political violence over civil debate, division over civility, and resentment over reconciliation.
Indoctrination has consequences. Decades of ideological conditioning in schools, universities, and the legacy media have reshaped the worldview of many Americans into a Marxist-inspired mindset.
If we hope to secure America’s future, we must take on the vital task of reawakening an understanding of the true history of Communism, of what America truly stands for, and of what freedom really means.

Tyranny happens when the laws do not restrain the power, authority, size, scope, and reach of government.
When government is granted the authority and power to violate the rights of its citizens, this is when we get tyranny....
And this is the situation in America today.
Too many people who talk about a lack of “affordable housing” seem to think that this is something the government must build or subsidize. It never seems to occur to them that government activity is itself one of the biggest reasons for housing being unaffordable. Nor are they likely to check out the fact that housing is far more affordable in communities where the government is not nearly so active.
