‘This must stop:’ A Call to restore common sense in American politics

When violent words and dastardly acts occur, we are bombarded with news “ALERTS” and we ask, “How in the world did we get to this point?” Almost always in the political arena, the response to those alerts is “this must stop.”

Politically, it is easy to say, this must stop, but it is more difficult to offer solutions to the societal maladies of our day. Currently, the Trump administration is heading in the right direction on many critical issues. However, let’s ask a few questions about some political issues that linger from the Biden and Cooper administrations that defy common sense.  Then, hopefully, suggest a solution which might reinforce the Will of “the people” to say to the current and future politicians, “This must stop!”

What is a Country? There are, of course, many definitions to answer that question. But one absolute and essential element of a Country is that it is an area with designated geographical borders. Under the Biden and Cooper administrations, America’s borders were open to anyone from anywhere. President Trump was correct when he said, “If you don’t enforce your borders, you don’t have a country.”

What is gender? Here, the answer is absolutely observable on all levels of thinking. Gender reveal parties are common today. The standard is blue stuff if it is going to be a boy and pink stuff if it is going to be a girl, end of discussion, right? No, if the radical left-leaning “WOKE” folks have their way. To them, gender is fluid, changeable, and based on one’s personal preferences at any given time. Thus, if a biological male identifies as a female, “he” can dress or undress in the girls’ dressing room. If a biological male trans genders to female, “he” can participate in girls’ sports. Leaders of the national Democratic Party do not oppose this. Former Democratic Governor Roy Cooper has not opposed that.

What is marriage? The previous question and this question are ones that most of us never dreamed that there would be any questions about.  Marriage is the union of a man and a woman, right? No! That’s not the case with the proponents of the radical progressive secular movement. The Biden and Cooper administrations turned a blind eye toward that issue.

What is a traditional family? Here, we have to be extra sensitive because good organizations and teams use the analogy referring to themselves as “a family.” That is good. Also, through no fault of their own, many good men and women are single-parent heads of their families.  Having a father of the male gender and a mother of the female gender as the heads of families fits the traditional definition of family. The Cooper and Biden folks supported unhealthy variations of family structure.

How did man come to be? Today, for the most part, in all levels of secular education, children are taught the theory of evolution from a single form of original life into the amazing variety of life forms that exist today. According to that theory, at one point, there was “nothing,” and then “bang,” there was all the stuff from which everything came to be, including life. How ridiculous. But our children are taught those theories as facts rather than as secular, Godless theories. Thus, whether you are a goldfish, a male or a female human, it is all by chance. The Biden and Cooper entities, by their silence on Divine creation, supported creation by chance.
When does life begin? This is probably the most basic question that can be asked. The male germ and the female germ each contain 23 chromosomes and hundreds of thousands of genes that contain all the new individual’s total hereditary material. When they unite, a new life begins. Life is the first unalienable right given to us by God.  The Biden and Cooper teams supported the ending of that new life as an acceptable choice.

The 18th-century poet Alexander Pope, in his poem “An Essay On Man,” said, “Vice… is of so frightful mien, As to be hated needs but to be seen, Yet seen too oft, Familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace.”

We, the people, must elect men and women with a sound understanding of traditional Judeo-Christian values who will not endure, pity, nor embrace the enticing overtures of evil forces in high places. Thus, with action, not words, they will say “this must stop.”
