TRUMP’S ONE-HUNDRED-AND-SIXTY-SECOND DAY OUT-OF-OFFICE
AND HERE’S WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM ONE OF LINCOLN’S GREATEST SPEECHES
Matthew Pinsker: Understanding Lincoln: House Divided Speech (1858)
“The Two Americas”
By: Bob Lonsberry
WHAM Rochester Talk Radio
The Democrats are right, there are two Americas. The America that works, and the America that doesn’t. The America that contributes, and the America that doesn’t.
It’s not the haves and the have nots — it’s the dos and the don’ts. Some people do their duty as Americans, obey the law, support themselves, contribute to society, and others don’t.
That’s the divide in America. It’s not about income inequality, it’s about civic irresponsibility. It’s about a political party that preaches hatred, greed and victimization in order to win elective office.
It’s about a political party that loves power more than it loves its country. That’s not invective, that’s truth, and it’s about time someone said it.
The politics of envy was on proud display a couple weeks ago when President Biden pledged the rest of his term to fighting “income inequality.” He noted that some people make more than other people, that some people have higher incomes than others, and he says that’s not just.
That is the rationale of thievery. The other guy has it, you want it, Biden will take it for you. Vote Democrat. That is the philosophy that produced Detroit. It is the electoral philosophy that is destroying America.
It conceals a fundamental deviation from American values and common sense because it ends up not benefiting the people who support it, but a betrayal.
The Democrats have not empowered their followers; they have enslaved them in a culture of dependence and entitlement, of victimhood and anger instead of ability and hope.
The president’s premise – that you reduce income inequality by debasing the successful – seeks to deny the successful the consequences of their choices and spare the unsuccessful the consequences of their choices. Because, by and large, income variations in society is a result of different choices leading to different consequences. Those who choose wisely and responsibly have a far greater likelihood of success, while those who choose foolishly and irresponsibly have a far greater likelihood of failure. Success and failure usually manifest themselves in personal and family income.
You choose to drop out of high school or to skip college, and you are apt to have a different outcome than someone who gets a diploma and pushes on with purposeful education and/or employment. You have your children out of wedlock and life is apt to take one course; you have them within a marriage and life is apt to take another course.
Most often in life our destination is determined by the course we take.
My doctor, for example, makes far more than I do. There is significant income inequality between us. Our lives have had an inequality of outcome, but, our lives also have had an inequality of effort. While my doctor went to college and then devoted his young adulthood to medical school and residency, I chose another avenue. He made a choice, I made a choice, and our choices led us to different outcomes. His outcome pays a lot better than mine. Does that mean he cheated and Joe Biden needs to take away his wealth? No, it means we are both free men in a free society where free choices lead to different outcomes.
It is not inequality Joe Biden intends to take away, it is freedom. The freedom to succeed and the freedom to fail.
There is no true option for success if there is no true option for failure. The pursuit of happiness means a whole lot less when you face the punitive hand of government if your pursuit brings you more happiness than the other guy. Even if the other guy sat on his ass and did nothing. Even if the other guy made a lifetime’s worth of asinine and shortsighted decisions.
President Biden and the Democrats preach equality of outcome as a right, while completely ignoring inequality of effort. The simple Law of the Harvest – as ye sow, so shall ye reap – is sometimes applied as, “The harder you work, the more you get.” Biden would turn that upside down. Those who achieve are to be punished as enemies of society and those who fail are to be rewarded as wards of society.
Entitlement will replace effort as the key to upward mobility in American society if President Biden Barack gets his way. He seeks a lowest common denominator society in which the government besieges the successful and productive to foster equality through mediocrity. He and his party speak of two Americas, and their grip on power is based on using the votes of one to sap the productivity of the other.
America is not divided by the differences in our outcomes, it is divided by the differences in our efforts. It is a false philosophy to say one man’s success comes about unavoidably as the result of another man’s victimization.
What Biden offered was not a solution, but separatism. He fomented division and strife, pitted one set of Americans against another for his own political benefit. That’s what socialists offer. Marxist class warfare wrapped up with a bow.
Two Americas, coming closer each day to proving the truth to Lincoln’s maxim that a house divided against itself cannot stand.
The Whistleblower Newswire Is Your Official Publication of Record For The Conservative Agenda
The Blower believes we’re still living during the most important period in American History for our non-stop crusade against Political Correctness and the Devolution of American Culture.
That’s because America has just suffered an actual moving coup by Leftists In Congress, the Deep State, Radical Media Establishment, and the Eternally Dishonest D-RAT Party. It’s amazing how terrified they still are of the Trumpster and his ideas to drain the swamp (establishment of both D-RAT & RINOs) and take away their power and return it to the people.
Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane Says The Conservative Agenda Is Now Working On Joke Biden*s Second 100 Days To Ruin America. Today Is DAY NUMBER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-SIXTY-TWO, But It’s Only 1223 MORE DAYS Till Election Day On November 5, 2024, to vote for a Real President, And Not Just A “Resident,”
It’s Only 124 MORE DAYS Till The 2021 Elections On November 02, to vote for Your Local Conservative Township Trustee Or Anti-Woke School Board Member Speaking Out Against “Critical Racist Theory” And Leftist 1619 Propaganda.
Plus with Rob “Fighting For Himself” Portman’s Replacement Election In Only 495 MORE DAYS Away Real Republicans Are Wishing Portman Had Just Resigned especially since RINO Rob just voted with the Dishonest D-RATS for that January 6 Commission.
No Wonder Portman Was AWOL At Trump Rally in Ohio.
The Blower remembers Congressman Portman’s Legacy when he abdicated his seat and Second District Republicans wound up with “Mean Jean” Schmidt.
