Take a knee…
“I have had enough. My country is under assault. Most leaders in this country are cowards.
So, I am launching a campaign called 'Stand Up For Your Country' that I hope you will help me with.
It is not political, racial, religious, any of that. It has to do with whether or not you believe the United States is a noble nation.
The country is being torn to pieces and the police are being told to step aside. This slogan sends a message - do not kneel before the forces of destruction and anarchy.”
Bill O’Reilly’s Facebook post June 29, 2020
New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio kneeled to the forces of destruction and anarchy, championing a one billion dollar cut in the NYPD budget. Over the last four weeks the city’s crime rate has soared with murders up over 350%. The Mayor claims to be a Democrat but operates like a leftist loon. His policies, denigrating the police, the same force that ran into the Twin Towers to save and protect citizens, can best be described as insane. Who will go to an unsafe New York City when the police have been ordered to stand down and effectively back stabbed by the Mayor?
The lunacy doesn’t end with New York. The flash point of the current chaos, Minneapolis, the residents found their city geniuses voting to eliminate the police department. Apparently, their vote affirms that the inhabitants can depend on the “Tooth Fairy” to keep them safe. As a result of this unbelievable stupidity, three of the city council members have received death threats. The city is now spending $4,500.00 a day for private security to protect those folks. Wonder what the taxpayers think about this egregious abuse of public funds?
Los Angeles, not to be out done, has decided to disband the school district police force, as well has make significant cuts to LAPD.’s budget. The “Great Pumpkin” is going to be awfully busy protecting the residents. Democrat run cities, one after another, are committed to this screwball policy of cutting police budgets. Social workers, unarmed will be sent to handle non-threating calls…as defined by whom?
Finally, there is the tragedy that is Chicago. Year to date: 329 people murdered; 1,676 people shot. That’s a 34% increase in murders, and 45% increase in shooting incidents compared to last year. Weekend after weekend the slaughter continues despite the toughest gun laws in the Nation. The lack of a solution, and then will to fix the problem of black on black murder is disgraceful. The slogan “black lives matter” is important but the documented Marxist organization, Black Lives Matter, hasn’t organized a protest on behalf of those victims. More evidence that their goal is a fundamental change of the United States government, and not the well-being of the black community.
Is it any wonder that gun sales have reached unprecedented heights? An attorney in St. Louis has become a national figure because he had the nerve to stand in front of his home, armed with a rifle, as an angry mob threatened him and his wife. The video proved beyond reason that this was not a peaceful group. The media has spun it otherwise, “peaceful” protesters was how the mob was characterized. Never mind the “peaceful” protesters destroyed a gate to get into a private community to threaten homeowners.
As O’Reilly pointed out in his post and now nascent campaign, this is a noble nation. The country has had a bumpy road for sure, to get to the point it is now. But the state of the nation does not warrant the rioting, looting, business destruction and outright anarchy in cities across the country. Politicians with cajones to speak out against this chaos, are invisible. The few that do call out the perpetrators, are vilified as racist and worse. Then there are the ones who do speak, but make sure their words are carefully crafted, insuring wokeness and thus are reveled as transparent windbags.
As we celebrate the 4th of July holiday, find a copy of the Declaration of Independence. Read it. Then compare those words with the blather coming from the leftist anarchists whose adherence to 18th century political theorist, Karl Marx is frightening.
‘Stand Up For Your Country”. A powerful crusade originated by O’Reilly is a welcome alternative to the political pandemic ripping the nation apart. When you do kneel, do it for your God, but not to pay fealty to a crazed mob of Marxist ideologues who want to destroy the United States.
