America in distress

WILLIAM A. HEGGENSTALLER

What is wrong with these mostly Democratic elected officials who stand idly by while their cities are being looted, burned and devastated to the extent that some business may never recover? Our police are being ridiculed and shot while being told to stand down and do nothing.

The death of George Floyd was tragic. I don’t care what color he was. Unfortunately, many protesters wouldn’t really mourn his death. They used it as a reason for them to loot, kill, beat business owners and destroy our America.

Our great country was built on laws. There are many people who have no respect for authority or the law. They have no respect for our flag or this country. They kneel at the National Anthem. If our country is so awful and unfair, how about taking up residence in another country and seeing how long you’re on your knee in China, Russia or Iran when their flag is raised and anthem played.

We see statues all over this country being defaced or destroyed. They have stood for decades and are part of this country’s history. Nancy Pelosi is now calling for all Confederate statues to be torn down. Is that because she knows the history of Black slavery was fought to be maintained by the Democrats and the abolishment of slavery was the birth of the Republican Party? Does she also know that the first Black votes were pulled from ballot boxes and destroyed because they were voting for the party that wanted to free them? That would probably give her too much credit. She belongs in a rubber room next to Joe Biden, in my opinion.

Our Second Amendment rights need to be upheld now more that ever. People who want to defund or eliminate the police forces of our nation are insane. I had an uncle who was a career military man. When he was near death in the hospital, the last words he spoke were, “Do not let anyone take your Second Amendment rights away.” Maybe a history lesson here about how Hitler gained power would be in order.

As I have said before, we need not worry about China, Russia or Iran. We are being destroyed from within by our own government. To gain more power, there are people in this great country of ours who want to destroy these United States and our way of life. These people should be given a choice: Either leave this country, or make a conscious decision to be part of the solution, not the problem, and join us in making America great again.

All true Americans must unite and stand up against those who want to destroy our country. No matter your color, race, religion or your political affiliation. This power grab needs to be stopped using all means available. You can’t change their minds with platitudes.

They are now slowly trying to ruin the middle class, the only ones standing between the elite and government-dependent individuals. The middle class just lost a great chunk of their livelihood over this latest “virus” and now the protesting devastation. Once they are gone, so is America as we know it.

To pull a quote from … Gerald Ford, “A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.”

Love him or not, if President Trump loses the 2020 election, we all lose. We will be under the control of the left-wing radicals, cry baby liberals and a government who wants complete control. We will have nowhere to go.

God bless us and God bless America.
