What are you prepared to do to save our country?

I think we Americans are a very tolerant lot. We do our best to uphold the freedoms written in the Constitution, even though it often makes us bite into our knuckles. When we see our flag being stomped on or burned by degenerate thugs, we grin and bear it because of the First Amendment. When we see riots on our streets posing as legal protests, we clench our fists and hope the hoodlums end up in prison. Yet we have that sinking feeling that there’s little, if anything, that will be done about it. If we were raised properly, we will always try diplomacy before hostility. Nonetheless, at what point does tolerance become surrender?

I’m reminded of a scene from the 1987 fact-based film The Untouchables. When Chicago cop Jim Malone, played by Sean Connery, is lying on the floor of his apartment, riddled with bullets from one of Al Capone’s gang, he looks up at Elliott Ness, played by Kevin Costner, and says some dying words, through bloody lips: “What are you prepared to do?” He was reminding Ness that he needed unorthodox methods to fight the Capone gang because the rules weren’t working. In addition, since Capone had most of the judges and cops on the payroll, Ness needed to replace them.

What organized criminals did to Chicago, New York, and a few other large cities a hundred years ago seems to have metastasized into a much larger crime syndicate, with a notorious network that includes some of the highest levels of our government. It appears obvious that our country is on the verge of being taken over by violent leftists who, when their venal schemes are exposed, are prepared to take down the entire country rather than moderate their policies. When radical-left governors like Tim Walz refer to federal agents as thugs and Gestapo agents, they are playing with a fire that could pit states against the federal government, resulting in civil war. Moreover, when massive corruption was discovered in Minesota’s Somali diaspora, Walz and his cohorts in the Somali community, including the hate-filled leftist congresswoman Ilhan Omar, use the tired old “racism” canard to defend their indefensible fraud.

What we’re witnessing is a cabal of organized crooks embedded so deeply into the fabric of our system that we’ve become accustomed to seeing it exposed on national television. Still, we almost never see any of them go to jail. For many folks, it’s viewed as standard operating procedure. We, the law-abiding people of this great nation, want to know if we’re making a mistake by observing basic rules of decency and civility.

If the refrain “no one is above the law” is to mean anything, we should have seen some high-ranking politicians being perp-walked from their government offices and placed in police cars. It seems they are much too important to submit to such an ignominious process. That treatment can be used only when the little guy gets caught breaking the social contract.

Are you as tired as I am of hearing the voices of outraged elected officials, as they point out the crimes committed by their colleagues on the other side of the aisle, even though you know none of them will be arrested? How can we believe in justice when we’ve been frustrated so often by the political chicanery that reigns supreme in those once considered hallowed halls?

All sensible people recognize that government is necessary to maintain order and provide security. Most of the governed also know that there will undoubtedly be some who use their power to enrich themselves. But what can we do when they get caught cheating on a massive scale, only to arrogantly claim, ad nauseam, to be the poor, unfortunate victims of a racist/misogynist/xenophobic culture? You know their claims are absurd when lifelong liberals take aim at their duplicity.

When President Trump ordered the raid on Venezuela’s narco-terrorist president, he did so without informing the Senate or the House because “Congress has the tendency to leak.” In other words, our country has enemies within who are not to be trusted when the security of our nation is at stake. What it also means is that we have a president who takes action to save American lives, and he’s not afraid to tell us the truth about the traitors in high places who are hell-bent on destroying the U.S., on the take from drug cartels, or both.

Our president has already taken the slings and arrows to save this great nation. What are you prepared to do?
