America is a Failed State - killed by Democrats

Thomas Jefferson wrote about governments: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,” The point of government is to do for men those things they cannot do for themselves… protect the nation, ensure tranquility within the nation and guarantee God given individual rights are not trampled upon within the nation. Another way of looking at it is government’s job is to help protect families, communities and strive to let people citizens pursue happiness.  At least that’s the goal.

Of course all of that is hard to do. Of the 110 billion people who have ever lived, the vast majority have lived in civilizations that did not even come close to that goal.  Indeed, most lived in civilizations where that goal didn’t even exist, or at least the individual rights element of it. 

Whatever came before, we today sit here 248 years after Jefferson wrote those words, which were followed a decade later by the Constitution which enshrined them into law.  For most of the last 2 ½ centuries America largely operated on the rules written in that Constitution. Today however, after less than a quarter century into the new millennia we must admit that America is a failed nation.

Why do I say failed?  Because there are things that are fundamental to a nation that are simply not functioning.

The first thing that tells us that the nation is failed is children and families.  In theory America the citizens do not exist for the state, but rather the state exists for the citizens. Citizens of course are simply people, who by nature are formed into families and the purpose of the state is to protect them.  At the same time, in all of nature it is the job of parents to protect their young.  Historically those two things coexisted in almost perfect harmony. Today however the government has metastasized in such a way that they are the enemy of families. After destroying the traditional family, states are now dictating to parents that their children can be butchered and there is nothing they can do about it.  It’s everywhere!  California, New York, Washington and even Montana!  There is literally nothing in life more natural than the creating of a family and having children.  That states now feel they can literally take children from their parents for the specific purpose of indoctrinating or butchering them tells you that America is a failed nation.

But of course, that is not all.  Then there’s the Climate Change hoax. Al Gore has been telling us since 1999 that CO2 is setting the world on fire and the oceans are going to cover half the continent within a decade. Sadly, 25 years later Washington DC is still not under water. Global warming is a fiction but our government drives the spending of at least half a trillion dollars annually trying to reduce our “Carbon footprint”. This spending comes in the form of the hundreds of billions the federal, state and local governments spend directly but also the equally large amounts forced on citizens in the form of higher energy prices, higher transportation costs and built in green energy inefficiencies.

How big is the CO2 impact of man?  Start with much CO2 is in the air.  As of May 2022 CO2 in the atmosphere is 421 ppm or .04%.  But maybe it’s rocketing up?  Not so much. Apparently, mankind has added 100 ppm of that number over the last 120 years. So, if we were to do nothing, the level of CO2 in the atmosphere in 2120 would sit at 531 ppm, or .05%. Not exactly choking the planet. So our government is essentially crippling our economy, sending inflation through the roof and introducing a level of energy instability Americans haven’t seen in half a decade to solve a problem that simply doesn’t exist.  The governments of serious nations don’t do that.

Finally there is the border and the flood of illegal immigration.  Since Joe Biden has been president almost 10 million, mostly military aged males have flooded across our border.  Virtually every one of them must be supported by American taxpayers. To put that in perspective, if they were a state those illegals who’ve come over since Biden was installed would be the 11^th largest state, just above New Jersey and just below Michigan. Add to that the 20 million illegals already here and they would be a larger population than every state other than California and Texas. But it’s not just that the government is allowing, millions of people to invade the country, it’s also what they are doing once the invaders are here. In Boston they closed a community center to house the illegals. In New York they have been paying tens of millions of dollars to hotels to house them and recently forced kids to attend school online because they filled the school with illegals. What’s more two weeks ago the Mayor of New York announced the city would give $53 million in prepaid debit cards to illegals. Astonishingly, some places give illegals more than citizens on welfare!

All of this costs likely more than $300 billion a year, twice widely circulated estimates of $150 billion that base their number on the laughable assumption that there are only 15 million illegal aliens in America when the number is likely more than 30 million.

And as if spending hundreds of billons annually wasn’t enough, the illegals are increasing crime in America’s cities even as we deal with skyrocketing domestic crime.  From beating up NYPD cops in broad daylight and being released within hours to gangs targeting gated communities outside of Detroit to moped gangs terrorizing New York, illegals have become more and more brazen as they understand the consequences of crime are minimal, particularly when compared to a new spirit of robust government enforcement that is emerging in central America. And of course this doesn’t even begin to measure the consequences of the 100,000 American deaths as a result of the unsecured border’s fentanyl trade. 

All of this (and much, much more) demonstrates that the United States is no longer a serious nation. America not only no longer protects families, it actively keeps parents from protecting their children. America no longer seeks to create a framework for prosperity, but rather burdens citizens with crippling inflation and stultifying costs to battle a fictional problem. America no longer seeks to defend herself from invasion or her citizens from viscous, violent criminals.  When a nation stops protecting its borders, citizens and prosperity it ceases to have the right to be called serious. 

Every single one of these problems and policies have at their core the Democrat party and the swamp bureaucracy that infects every level of government.  There’s part of America that is still struggling to remain serious however, and it’s not represented by the GOP ruling class. It’s the grass roots, it’s the people who were Tea Party patriots, its citizens who don’t drink the media’s propaganda. 

The Declaration of Independence states “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…” In this case it’s not a government per se that has become destructive to those ends, it’s the Democrat party.  Let’s hope that in November those who take America seriously take the opportunity to show that vile, despicable party the door…
