God and Patriotism are obstacles to the goals of those who seek to overthrow the United States Constitution.  As a result, the hard-left progressive loonies repeatedly target the Pledge of Allegiance.  They are determined to ensure that the Flag Salute is hidden from view, and removed from public schools.  I’ve heard arguments against the pledge that include that it incites racism, that it is an oath to the white supremacist patriarchy, can be a direct cause of division between children and even adults, that the Pledge promotes bullying between kids who recite the Pledge and those who do not, and it can “make immigrants feel bad” because it forces them to turn away from the pride they may hold regarding the country they came from.  When I was a kid it was mandatory to participate in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, unless you had a religious reason prohibiting you from participating. Since my childhood days the educational powers-that-be have made reciting the Pledge of Allegiance voluntary, and today’s teachers largely advise against it, or have eliminated the Pledge, and even the presence of the United States Flag, from their classrooms altogether.

The Democrats and their leftwing allies have compared the Pledge to loyalty oaths used in Nazi Germany, or claim it promotes dangerous overtones of division that is reminiscent of McCarthyism and xenophobia.  The opponents of the Pledge of Allegiance argue that it has no educational value, disrupts the learning experience because of the division it creates, and promotes a militaristic set of principles that have no place in the classroom.

The irony is that the Pledge of Allegiance was indeed written to be a loyalty oath by a socialist who aimed to use it to spread nationalism (love of government/a belief that all powers should be consolidated under the umbrella of the central government) across the United States.

Originally, a salute, similar to the Nazi salute, was used during the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance. The salute was changed to a hand-over-heart gesture when Nazi Germany used a similar salute, giving the original salute ominous insinuations of totalitarianism and genocide.

The phrase “under God” was added by a bill signed into law by President Eisenhower on June 14, 1954 (Flag Day), a decision largely driven by the lobbying of the Knights of Columbus, as a means of differentiating America from the “godless” Communists of the USSR.

President Benjamin Harrison ensured Bellamy’s Pledge was first used in public schools on October 12, 1892, during Columbus Day observances.

In 1923 the National Flag Conference called for the words “my Flag” to be changed to “the Flag of the United States”, for the benefit of new immigrants. The words “of America” were added a year later. The United States Congress officially recognized the Pledge as the official national pledge on June 22, 1942.

The Pledge of Allegiance, which was originally designed to be a socialist attempt to head America in the direction of tyranny, through the years came to be a patriotic recitation that many believe the Founding Fathers would be proud of.

It is truly amazing how America, with our exceptional spirit of liberty, can even turn something originally created to destroy us into a beloved show of patriotism.

Even more interesting is that originally socialists wanted the Pledge so that America may be turned into a nationalistic nation. But the goodness of America changed the Pledge to represent something else – What was meant to be a national socialist salute became a patriotic pledge that resides close to our hearts.

Now, after patriotism has changed the socialist Pledge into a thing of patriotic pride, the Left wants to eliminate it.

That all said, I want to remind everyone that a pledge is not something that suddenly uniquely appeared during the late 1800s.  The Founding Fathers provided us with the original pledge, at the end of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.  In that pledge it was to each other, rather than to a flag.

“With a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”

2016 dem vote matches highest crime rate areas

By Douglas V. Gibbs;   AuthorSpeakerInstructorRadio Host

A conversation with a left-leaning, Democrat Party voting, friend revealed how foolish these people can be.  His family wants to take a vacation in Florida to see Miami’s beaches, Walt Disney World, and other sights that are unique to the Panhandle State located on the far southeast corner of the United States.  My friend, however, has been refusing to give in because of how dangerous he believes Florida to be.  “The relaxed gun laws makes that State very dangerous.  There’s too many guns, and I hear gun violence and the murder rate in Florida is sky-high.”

I told him that was not true, and if anything, a high percentage of gun ownership by law-abiding citizens makes a State safer, not more dangerous.

In an interview Hillary Clinton helped feed the false narrative; “If you look at real crime statistics, which they’re not interested in examining, the states with the highest crime levels are states run by Republicans. That’s just a fact.”

If one uses Google and simply asks for a list of the States with the highest crime rates, the lists do indeed show that in the top ten most of the States are those one would consider “red states”.

The statistics, however, are misleading.  The red states do not have higher crime rates and homicide rates because they are conservative, but because the Democrat run cities in those States dominate the statistics.  In other words, the high crime rates in Republican States is due to the high crime in Democrat cities and counties.  According to Pamela Geller’s access to a Heritage Foundation study, murder rates are 60 percent higher in Democrat-run counties compared to those led by Republicans.

The study reveals the truth about the false talking points by lefties that red states have the highest homicide numbers.

Using state-level data for homicides is misleading because crimes are prosecuted at the local level.

Rural areas represent a smaller percentage of the population so more often than not, the statistics are going to be based on what goes on in the big cities of those States, and typically big cities are dominated by Democrat-voting residents and progressive-minded politicians.

As Portland, Oregon has gone from liberal left to extreme Antifa leftwing crazy, the crime has increased dramatically.  Democrats have worked to defund the police, reduce sentences for violent crimes including murder, have worked to put in place unarmed policing policies with yoga meditation added to help the criminals reach a happy-happy-joy-joy mental state, sought to end the use of K-9 Units, eliminated bail in many cases, reduced penalties for shoplifting and has made reporting such crimes a no-no, some politicians have even called for putting an end to prison sentences and in places like California a horde of prisoners have been released early over and over, and the big city Democrats have put into place other failed reform polies and the result has been more crime across the board.

Cities, Counties, and other local regions following Democrat policies are the places where crime and murder on on the upswing, and in many cases the Democrat policies in Democrat-run cities have elevated red-states that are otherwise places that enjoy low crime rates a statistical nightmare when one looks at the whole thing from a statewide perspective.

Greece Riots Dec 2018

By Douglas V. Gibbs; AuthorSpeakerInstructorRadio Host

Political Correctness has demanded that we praise anyone not like us, and abstain as much as we can from criticizing anyone from any protected group in any way; otherwise, one is phobic or a bigot or racist.  White guilt and an attempt to punish all whites as a result of their white privilege clutter university campuses more than transgender, anti-Trump, and rainbow literature.  We have been told that everyone crossing the southern border are poor families and refugees seeking amnesty, and hateful terrorists don’t exist, just poor misplaced people who are lashing out in pain.  We have denied black crime exists, and blame the police for profiling and causing poor minorities to wind up in jail, and around the world we have pointed the same attitude towards those poor, misplaced Muslim migrants all over Europe.  After 9/11 we were convinced that Islam had very little to do with the attack, even though all 19 perpetrators were Muslim; and in response we tried to be understanding, and recognize that if only we convinced those poor angry people to be more like us they might learn to like us.

Flowers and rainbows can save the world.  It’s the sixties all over again, on steroids.

Political correctness has evolved, and now it has become the WOKE society where words can cause temper-tantrums, crime must be ignored, disobedient children must not be disciplined by their parents or any teacher, parents who don’t “affirm” their confused child about if they are a boy or a girl are abusive, shoplifting is fine as long as it’s under certain dollar values, riots are peaceful demonstrations and political rallies by MAGA people is insurrection, pedophiles are simply “minor-attracted persons,” men can win women’s swim meets, women’s track meets, and women’s beauty pageants, registered sex offenders are victims, cross-dressing men in makeup can hold “family-friendly” striptease runway shows complete with a stripper pole and children slipping dollars in their g-strings, and if you dare say anything to the contrary you are hateful, anti-(insert name of protected group here), or a conspiracy theorist.  

Society has been trained with illusions and lies, a long-term campaign by Marxism to kill the nuclear family, kill anything Christian or godly, stomp all over the rule of law and change it into a relativistic/pluralistic rule of man, and grow an Orwellian culture filled with mindless sheep who only know they hate whoever the politicians, judges, news media, entertainment stars, educators, sports celebrities, and corporate giants wearing “we love you and are here to help you” masks say to hate.

During the fundamental transformation of America, and the world, promised vocally by Barack Obama, and promised before him by a long list of socialists and hard-left progressives, Islam hid in the shadows building up again so that they can get back on track toward their goal of killing every Christian and Jew on the Planet Earth.  

During the Trump administration Islamic terrorism completely disappeared from plain view.  

Now, they are back, and we are too WOKE to respond.

Islam has shown us in only the last week that they believe it is just fine to rape Jewish women, and infidel women.  They have shown us that they not only believe it is okay to physically mutilate Jewish babies, it is a preferred method of warfare to make sure those babies can’t grow up and become an enemy of Islam.  In Israel, since the invasion by Hamas, they have burned Jews alive in the name of Allah; they have proclaimed that genocide of the entire Jewish people is their goal and they intend to carry it out as soon as they can.

A large segment of the younger generation seems to largely think that the attack against Israel and the desire to commit genocide against Jews is just fine.  Why would they argue?  They are fresh off of their lifelong public school and college indoctrination sessions.  The real fascists, if you ask those young brains  full of mush, are MAGA Republicans.  They are fine with the eradication of the Jewish people because they don’t want to say anything that might offend a poor Muslim person — but, while the fires are burning, they will tell you it is just fine to throw Trump supporters, Christians, and any other “right-wing” people on top of the flames.

Protests in favor of Hamas have emerged and that is just fine to these folks.  However, expect to be arrested and thrown in federal prison if you question any election (especially on the grounds of the Capitol on January 6, 2021), question the education of your child at a school board meeting, or protest in front of an abortion clinic where another type of genocide is in play.  Don’t criticize any religious belief other than Christianity or Judaism, and especially don’t criticize false science like man-made climate change and the whole list of COVID lies dealt to us.  If you do, you will be labeled the enemy.  Oh, and by the way, don’t criticize the genocide of Jews because, you know, they’re Jews.

How do we stop such madness?  One, don’t be afraid, and two, stand firm on truth.  We have the numbers and the truth on our side.  So, why are we not doing anything about it?  I have been all over the country over the last three years spreading truth, using my own money because everyone is too busy to support the effort, and the thanks I have received has been handshakes, and comments to “go get ’em.”  Then, everyone goes home, turns on their favorite sitcom, and forgets that the world is exploding.  When I get home, I continue the efforts, and they pay minimum payments on my maxxed-out credit cards.

It’s time to wake up and smell the burning bodies.  It’s time to realize that people like me cannot achieve the mission to turn things around on our own.  We need to stop being afraid of offending people, or being called a name, or being shunned by family, friends, and neighbors, and even of losing our job.  Fear is the tool of tyranny.  Fear is what they do.  The bloodstained century of violence we left behind when the new millennium emerged is not over.  During the twentieth century Soviet Communism caused 20 million deaths.  China?  65 million deaths.  Vietnamese communists: 1 million deaths.  North Korea, 2 million deaths.  Cambodia, 2 million deaths.  Communist Eastern Europe, 1 million deaths.  Communist movements in Latin America (Cuba, Central America, South America, and other Spanish Speaking communist regimes and revolutions in the Western Hemisphere): 150,000 deaths.  Africa: 1.7 million deaths.  Afghanistan: 1.5 million deaths.  The international Communist movement and Communist parties not in power, about 10,000 deaths.  Communism’s death toll is just under 100 million people killed. *Data from The Black Book of Communism, Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1999.

Now that we are in the twenty-first century don’t be fooled that just because the idiotic ideologies of the sixties, mixed with some real crazy new stuff, has infiltrated American Society, and the world, that the death-rate by the enemies of Christianity and Judaism has stopped rising.  China is not finished, and Islam is just getting started.

Communism and Islam has joined forces, and the progressives and the globalists are tagging along, too; and if we refuse to see what is going on, do what we can to keep the peace, and if we cowardly hide so that the communists won’t arrest you or kill you, things will continue to get worse.  Don’t lull yourself into believing this is just some silly disagreement.  We are at war, and all of our enemies are standing together using tactics and strategies of war.  They are willing to do anything to win, and fund any movement they consider an ally.  American equipment and weaponry from Afghanistan and Ukraine is in the hands of communists and Islamists, and are being used right now to slaughter women and children in Israel.  Our lefty government is a part of the problem.  We need to be loud, and do everything we can to throw out the people who have stolen our elections, and sit on thrones of power.  But, we must do it without fear.  We must educate our fellow Americans so that they are not celebrating cruelty and genocide in other parts of the world, or else they will celebrate next the cruelty and genocide against those who dare to stand against them domestically.

The terrorists use the phrase, “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people” which means they plan to eradicate Jews first, then Christians.

Communists in America probably have a similar phrase, but theirs is, “First the enemies of our plans over there, and then the enemies of our plans over here.”

America is not immune.  Our foundation has protected us for over two hundred years, but we have abandoned that foundation, turning our back on God and the Constitution.  Sitting in our churches and praying, or ignoring what is going on inside the four walls of our homes, will not make it all go away.  When they are finished over there, they will indeed come over here.  And our own younger generation has been weaponized, and trained, for the day that happens.  Victory may only be achieved by changing the tide, reaching as many people as possible, and disarming the enemy in their minds and their hearts before it evolves into something greater, and much more deadly.
