Disregard those excuses
claiming Donald Trump's "divisive" rhetoric is to blame for all the
conflict in America and turmoil in the sports world. This nonsense has been
escalating since 2008 and he is one of the few high profile names who actually
had the courage to expose their duplicity without mincing words. The truth is,
despite all the partisan finger pointing and anthem publicity stunts, the
President was embraced as a positive force of change by Democrats, Republicans,
racial activists and even liberal Hollywood for over 30 years. He was a
welcomed guest at their private soirees, regularly hosted
celebrities/dignitaries at his hotels and resorts, won awards for his social
philanthropy, was applauded for his random acts of kindness, appeared on nearly
every syndicate talk show, garnered fans from all segments of society and
routinely interacted with many of his most vocal critics from today on a first
name basis. To suddenly proclaim he is the scourge of humanity is to condemn
his newfound adversaries by their willing association and unmistakable
admiration.
It wasn't until Trump
announced his candidacy, or more profoundly when he actually won the
presidency, that Democratic operatives and the media establishment viciously
conspired to paint him as a racist, radical xenophobe who kicks puppies on
Christmas and rapes women for entertainment. Before the man sought political
office, he was never condemned as a white supremacist, let alone called a bigot
or once questioned by police regarding a single, alleged sexual assault. These
shameless tactics were nothing more than a desperate attempt to slander his
name and cripple public support for the extensive change his populist reforms
would inevitably bring.
Likewise, this entire
National Anthem fiasco, which began long before his campaign ever ensued,
simply gave those critics who already hated him and America to begin with but
another platform to claim injustice beneath the public spectacle of
"racism". Donald Trump is not responsible for the disproportionate
amount of crime in urban America, the number of single parent households, the
prevalence of drug abuse, a protected foreign workforce or a growing lack of
respect for the law, America and our fellow man. That distinction
overwhelmingly belongs to the incessant victimization narrative of pandering
lawmakers who would rather collect a paycheck then demonstrate the competence
and resolve necessary to exact meaningful, lasting change. Just because
political opponents and ignorant athletes choose to believe such sensational
propaganda, hardly makes it true or excuses coddled athletes for refusing to
stand at attention for a mere 60 seconds before every game to honor the very
country and those brave individuals who make our way of life possible;
including those black Americans who fought in the Civil War and every subsequent
war to protect this nation and secure freedom around the globe.
The American flag and the
national anthem were never truly politically contentious until Marxist cultural
terrorists sought out to destroy anything that conveyed patriotism or remotely
honored America's "imperfect" heritage. The fact not a single
American flag was initially visible at the 2016 Democratic national convention
and their delegates successfully voted to exile God from their platform in 2012
before party leaders sought to quell public outrage, leaves little doubt as to
the sheer level of radicalization that has destroyed the once proud party of
JFK. As long as "We the People" posses faith in a higher power, a
steadfast belief in a set of indelible ideals that supersede any man-made,
oppressive state seeking to dictate every aspect of our lives, progressives
know they can never fully achieve their goal of erecting a dependent, obedient
populace that is more concerned with earthly pleasures, entitlements, than any
virtuous calling that defines progress as the character of individual liberty.
The escalating racial
discord and civil unrest engulfing America is hardly by accident, and by no
means a coincidence, for it is a cultural coup of subversive design. The
systematic unraveling of the traditional family unit, attacking our founding
Judeo-Christian values and the increasingly crass and obscene behavior of
violent activists are but a political means to an immoral end. As long as
political agitators can hide behind false accusations of racism, homophobia and
sexism as the media selectively reports the truth - immigration laws are cruel,
only black lives killed by white cops matter, gay marriage will never legalize
polygamy, gender conditioning is not child abuse, Obamacare is not an
unmitigated failure, natural disasters are proof of unnatural global warming
and patriotism is unchecked racial supremacy - they avoid having to engage in
substantive debate, earnestly educating voters or being held accountable for
their extremist views and endless litany of failures. Although freedom of
speech and tolerance are always paramount, freedom from consequences and
culpability are not human rights. They're cracks in the foundation of any
evolved, self-aware society inviting tyranny, dysfunction and corruption to
conceive under the same roof.
Because the modern left
knows it cannot logically defend a majority of their claims, not to mention
their "moralized" fascist tactics, they attempt to create a
sensational distraction by which to permanently polarize the masses and
demonize anyone who dares expose their hypocrisy. If the American flag and
national anthem are the unrivaled enemies of the black community, generations
of minorities who now claim to be the sole victims of mass injustice and unfairly
oppressed despite ample opportunities and special accommodations such as
affirmative action, what exactly is Africa to her all her descendants and
indigenous people; a continent which continues to enslave, murder and
impoverish millions of Africans with frightening efficiency and international
indifference? Appreciation for one's lot in life, respect for their country,
would never duly exist if such conclusions were incumbent upon eradicating all
dissenting opinion or politicizing every injustice and tragedy. Perspective is
not a matter of favoritism or forced concessions, but a lesson in humility and
personal reflection that demands our participation.
America is only forsaken
when we take her for granted by allowing conniving malcontents obsessed with
judging her past to divide us into bitter, warring factions incapable of reason
or rationale recourse. Black and white, man or woman, rich and poor, gay,
straight, or aspiring citizen...our strength is not in the brute totality of
our numbers, but in the undying ideals we embody and our collective support for
the one nation that tirelessly fights for their survival. If the struggle is
indeed the glory and our journey a testament to how far we have come as a
diverse and resilient people, the American flag has more than earned the right
to fly free from politicized scorn or false strife on native soil. To protest
or teach hatred of a respected symbol of freedom is to welcome the demise of
the very country and natural born rights one claims to fraudulently represent.
