OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC IS DIVIDED - AS IT SHOULD BE...
We need to understand and even embrace this division so fellow Patriotic Conservatives can come together and support each other as never before!
[This is a longer read with the problem/s stated clearly then solution/s following]
Before I get started I want to thank the 78 Substack Subscribers who read what I write and even share with others. There are countless contributors, influencers, etc. “out there” and our attention spans are often held for ransom it seems, BUT, I write what I feel and actually practice what I preach as I LIVE within my circles and value system - so, Thank You for reading my stuff!
My mission, as Founder of the American Spirit Movement is to grow our membership of Conservatives supporting Conservatives in the areas of Commerce, Employment, Business-networking, Education, and Idea-sharing. Links are below to learn more about what we are doing. I am also an immovable object within the Conservative Movement.
Here we go…
Our Constitutional Republic is divided - as it should be!
We have irreconcilable differences within America. We have Factions in the EXACT context of how our Founders discussed, predicated, and have left written records for us so we can learn from history, if we so choose to. This Factious division is not a bad thing IF we understand where it comes from, who’s perpetrating it, and why? When, where, and how are also important and will first be discussed.
WHEN did our country become divided?
We’ve always been divided. We were just more civil. “Division” in today’s context is a tool to capitalize on society. The struggles and bravery of founding these (u)nited States of America all revolved around division. We had both the Federalists and anti-Federalists debating the very foundation upon which our new government and subsequent laws would be formed. But, we debated, and we debated with a higher degree of civility than exists “today”. We came to a consensus to move forward, and we gave birth to a new nation. To the degree of selling out to their vision, a very destructive, minority Faction is gaining ground and marches on…
WHERE did our country become divided?
We were divided within the workplaces, within homes, within social circles as well as within the public squares, and throughout our governmental establishments. We were even divided regarding loyalties to a tyrannical King and the hope of starting anew. We were simply divided “everywhere” freedom of speech existed and even before the adoption of our founding documents that made clear our rights.
HOW did our country become divided?
When deeply held beliefs are challenged or even threatened, we see to what extent men will defend them. “How” we became divided is because of destiny, because of the natural occurrence of an expected outcome. There is no historical precedence nor even a reasonable context that has existed to demonstrate complete unity among a population governed by the people. It has never existed and it is an exercise in futility and wholly dishonest to assume some morally superior viewpoint that says “we can bring everyone together in unity”. Statements such as these are 100% dishonest and unrealistic in any historical context - even with the founding of America.
Let’s pause here and consider the following to help ensure our compass remains due north with the intent behind my writing this essay…
Our Constitutional Republic is not, nor will it ever be “united”. The context of the word “unity” spoken by the destructive Faction comprised of Leftists is their vision of a fundamentally transformed America to be united through coercive and even forceful measures resulting in the dominance of those who oppose them.
WHO is causing the deepest pains of division within America - and WHY?
The American “Left” is causing the deepest pains of division within America BECAUSE they envision a “fundamentally transformed” America where they want you to live, or anyone else who would disagree, or dare to resist. They do NOT need to achieve their vision. They need to control and capitalize on every moment along their journey. They do not believe in the same America “we” do. They do not want the same America we do. And they are winning this battle even when they are in minority control of government, at any level, because they have enlisted and control key segments of society that are helping them to facilitate their fundamental transformation.
America has reached the tipping-point where our society has no choice but to become divided very much in the same spirit of pre-1776 America. The minority Faction known “today” as The Left has cemented within our great society a level of division within governance as well as a social discourse rooted within societal deviancy and perversions that collectively have completely rendered “The Left” completely incompatible with our Republic. They endeavor to abolish the Republic institutionally and create a pure Democracy.
Our Founders were keenly aware the very genesis of the formation of our Republic was very much the same exact thing that could tear us apart. This new Nation known as the (u)nited States of America was born from Factions.
Fast-forward to where we are “today” and I am here to tell you that it is impossible for us to be united in the Spirit of the Republic, in the Spirit of Republicanism, in the Spirit of 1776, in the American Spirit that once was capable of bringing together a great undertaking to begin anew as “A New Order of Ages”.
Our Founders warned that a 2-party system was problematic. We were warned about a minority Faction utilizing tactics that would undermine, unravel, and upend every great institution that made America – America. No, we do not need a third party. A third party would guarantee with 100% certainty the Democrat party would have taken control of the country. We need an expansive Republican Party with more impassioned Conservatives standing firm and leading the way for others to join. More on this later…
Please understand that it is NOT possible for the ideologies of Liberalism and Conservatism to “coexist” or blend within our society. The ideals, desires, and deeply-held values and principles of Liberals and Conservatives are too far apart to have common-ground. The modern-era “informed” Liberal who votes for activist Democrat lawmakers who aspire to some vision of “fundamental transformation” for a New Democratic-Socialist America IS the very problem within America with regard to Factious behavior. The greatest threat against our Republic is the collective of informed, activated, morally credentialed, self-righteous Liberals taking action to pull at and even unravel every Red, White, and Blue thread of the America the Patriotic Conservative loves and wishes to pass along to future generations.
These words are not hyperbolic in nature. We were warned. But the question remains; what can we do? What do we do? What MUST we do?
The first step is to embrace there cannot be unity as spoken by American Leftists!
Understand who these people are whether they are the individual lawmakers or a collection known as Corporate Media, Corporations, Social Influencers from social media, entertainment, sports, celebrities, etc. Individually, and even more so as a collective, these Leftists are making YOU, me, and everyone else who is NOT the problem less significant within society.
You need to understand the latter and embrace the following…
The Founding of America was the closest we will ever experience “unity” with some semblance of perceived sustainability, and even civility, but more to the point, the Founding of America was and continues to be a blessing - and, worth fighting for.
The Latin words “ANNUIT COEPTIS” are on the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States and most commonly seen on the back of the $1 bill. There are a few interpretations of these words, but in essence, and with intent from our Founders, these words mean that God favors, even blesses, the undertaking of this great endeavor (these (u)nited States of America). The other inscription on the reverse of the Great Seal below ANNUIT COEPTIS is “NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM”. which is most commonly translated as “(A) New order of the Ages”.
IF we, we the people, are looking for solutions to fight back against the American Left, there are a few things we can do:
1) VOTE no matter what it takes. For the love of our Constitutional Republic NEVER stay home and not vote. NEVER vote for Democrats. NEVER. NEVER. NEVER vote for Democrats. A “no vote” is no different than voting for Democrats. Yes, vote for the Republican even when you don’t believe they are the best a Republican can be because I can assure you with 100% certainty the Democrats are ALMOST 100% in lock-step with their efforts and when they are not they make sure they efficiently correct those who do not comply.
2) Where possible, vote out establishment Republicans in favor of America First Conservatives ready to bring an intensified amount of resistance against Democrats who collectively have proven they are anti-America and anti-American.
3) Use your POWERFUL “second vote” at the cash register and seek out Conservative owned businesses in your LOCAL marketplace to spend your hard-earned Conservative dollars!
4) As an impassioned Conservative who votes Republican, JOIN your local county Republican Executive Committees (REC) which are your official Republican Party LOCAL offices. Within MOST RECs there is an establishment Republican presence that needs to be changed to a greater Conservative, America-first presence. If someone cannot stand up and state they are “Conservative first, Republican second”, then we cannot become a stronger force to fight back American Leftists.
