Is The World Crazy Or Is It Just Me?

As I look around, listen to things, observe people, I have to wonder: has the world gone crazy or is it just me? With societal changes that are so dramatic as to make one’s head spin, a nation so divided that people are at each other’s throats over the smallest of things, a president that is so embattled by the opposing party that he can’t take a breath without someone accusing him of some form of cover up, Christianity is persecuted while the bane of the Earth, as far as religions go, is held in high esteem, and terrorists run loose seemingly without bounds. Has the entire world gone bat shit crazy?

Here in the good old United States of America, a country that isn’t even 250 years old, we have the right to free speech. At least we did until the last administration. Now, if a person has a conservative point of view he is silenced by the far left wing liberals. Colleges are allowing their liberal students to riot if a conservative speaker is there thus making it impossible for that speaker to utter a word. Social media is almost as bad. I have several liberal friends on my Facebook that constantly tell me how idiotic and brain dead I am because I believe in keeping America what the Founding Fathers set it up to be.

What is America? Is it a socialist country where the government has to tell the citizens how to live their lives or is it a Constitutional Republic based on free enterprise and self-reliance? In the early days of this young nation the Constitutional Delegates met to set up the government of this brand new nation. They deliberated and debated for months on just what to write down as the Law of the Land. What they came up with was the Constitution that is so proudly displayed in the Capitol Building in Washington, DC. This historic document stated, in no uncertain terms, just what our federal government was responsible for and if it wasn’t specifically enumerated in that document, then the States had the authority. This limited the power of the Federal Government.

Today, the Federal Government has grown so large and bureaucratic that it controls the people. What was a country with a government has now become a government with a country. Congress sits in the Capitol legislating what the people can and can’t do while excusing themselves from a lot of those laws. Where the people once had to support themselves and their families, now the government has decreed that ‘from those that have to those that have not.’ Sounds a little like Marxism: from each according to his ability to each according to his need. It doesn’t matter whether that person that ‘needs’ even tries to earn his/her own keep, the rest of the country has to support him/her. Excluding the elderly, the disabled and those that, for some good reason, cannot work to support themselves, the rest of these people should learn the lesson of – if you don’t work, you don’t eat.

What once was a proud, Christian based morality has become a lesson in tolerance for all things hedonistic. Christianity is shelved while Islam is taught and put forth as a person’s right to religious freedom. What once was ‘a man is a man and it’s a man’s job to support his family’ has become ‘if you are a man’s man you are a racist, fascist, anti-feminist pig.’ It’s perfectly fine for a man to dress in a mini skirt and go into the women’s restroom and if anyone says anything different they are an intolerant homophobe. Where there were once secure borders with immigration laws there are now open borders and illegals are given driver’s licenses, housing, a job, welfare, and the right to vote with no fear of deportation. Hell, they don’t even have to speak English – they’ll be given a translator at the taxpayer’s expense. It has become a bad thing to be a white, American citizen.

Where once the FBI was the premier law enforcement agency in the world it has let illegal distribution of classified material go unprosecuted while it spends millions of dollars on investigating the unsubstantiated allegations of collusion with a foreign nation during a rigged election where the wrong party won. Where the Constitution says that a person must be natural born citizen to become president we allowed a person of questionable nationality to reign for eight years. While that man was in office he did all he could to undermine the power and respect of the United States across the world. He praised Islam and denigrated Christianity. He aided and abetted our enemies while turning his back on our allies.

Yes, I believe the world, at least this small part of it, has gone crazy. Or, maybe, it is I that have gone crazy and what I once believed this nation stood for, how it was established, what it meant to be an American, what our government was supposed to be and the very foundation of our nation was all a dream that I had turned into my own reality. It is totally possible that it is I that is mad and not the liberal left that is so determined to undermine the present conservative administration.

I was in a conversation just yesterday about the present administration and how the country was going. I think that the Trump Train is doing a pretty good job seeing as how the liberal left are constantly yelling about Russian collusion and cover-up on everything that is said out of the White House. The thing about it is that there were about four people that kept telling me that I was nuts, crazy, a socialist, a fascist and was afraid of anyone that wasn’t a white Christian American. Funny thing about it is that I have a lot of friends that are immigrants, black, mixed nationality and different religions. Guess that makes me afraid of the rest of the world and I should stick to middle America where there aren’t any people that could possibly harm my fragile American patriotism.

I’ve been called a homophobe because I believe that men should use the men’s room and women should use the women’s room. I have several friends that are gay, a couple that are transgender and a lot of friends that are undecided or ‘closet’ gays. Just because I, myself, don’t want to start women’s clothes or change my gender doesn’t mean that I want to keep others from it. I just don’t want some dude going into the bathroom with my wife, mom, sister, daughter, granddaughter, etc. That’s why we have separate facilities for opposite genders. It’s called civilization.

Just because I want a free nation, smaller government, less governmental control over my life, self-reliance unless unavoidable help is needed temporarily, secure borders and illegal aliens deported, a ban on Islamic migrants and refugees because of the terrorist activities of the Radical Islamics, government not being involved in the business sector such as insurance, fair and lower taxation, getting rid of the corruption in government, no sanctuary cities, counties or states, keeping our inalienable rights guaranteed by the Constitution, and using the Constitution as it was written and intended, not ‘interpreted’ to suit a political agenda does not mean that I am an imbecile, crazy, a fascist, a homophobe, anti-woman, etc. It means that I am an American that believes in the Constitution and the core values set forth by the Founding Fathers.

I was not happy when Barack Hussein Obama was elected and even less happy when he was elected to a second term. Did I riot? Did I protest? Did I keep the liberals from talking their ideology? No on all points. Did I complain about him not presenting proof that he was a natural citizen? Did I call him a wannabe king? Yes. Why? Because his nationality was in question; his mother was an American and his father was from the Middle East. He said he was born in Hawaii yet that state said they did not issue his certificate of live birth. He registered in college as a foreign student under the name of Barry Soteros. He never did produce any college transcripts, either. He said he was a professor of Constitutional law yet it was discovered he was a guest lecturer of Constitutional law… this a professor does not make. As for me calling him a wannabe king, well, when you act like royalty then it seems as though that is what you wannabe.

I could go on and on about all the anti-American policies and actions Mr Obama instituted but that is not what this article is about. It is about whether the world is crazy or just me. The liberal left call me crazy because I state the truth about their ‘saviour’ and disagree with everything he stands for. So, dear reader, I am going to leave it up to you whether it is I or the rest of the world that is crazy. I’ll just sit over here in the corner with my crayons and construction paper while you decide. You can call me on the can phone when you come to your decision.
