   Dallas: Are we losing our minds?
   Most Americans are proud of their country and respect the ideas and men that have helped make this country the greatest in the world. But many of us see that greatness diminishing. History tells us that some of the 1st people that risked the dangerous trip across the ocean to America were escaping religious persecution. And when they settled in America they dedicated it to God and his principles. We can see those principles presented in the founding documents of this country which speaks of “God-given rights”. They were escaping religious persecution because government controlled religion was corrupting scriptural mandates. It’s kind of sad after 200 years that were entering another time of religious persecution. Even though we don’t have a state church, secular humanism is the religion that the government is trying to mandate on people of faith. We are entering a time when federal and state governments will use the weight of their power to destroy people of faith if they don’t bend to secular humanism. We find in California legislators trying to pass laws that would prohibit religious organizations to practice the tenets of their faith. If the tenets of your faith are not in agreement with the government then you do not have the constitutional right of free exercise of your religious beliefs.
   It’s sad, after we were given such a great document called the Constitution, that government officials, be it judges or politicians, have found ways to remove those constitutional rights from ordinary citizens without there being a revolution. How did we get to this place? Where judges and governmental officials have no problem violating the plain language of the Constitution and feel justified in their actions. When did plain words lose their meaning? We have entered a place where logic and reason along with common sense have been discarded for political correctness and the replacement of facts with emotions. We have entered a time where persons with mental disorders are indulged instead of helped. If a man claims he’s a woman then we will devalue womanhood by promoting this delusional state and even protecting it by legal means.
   Can the country survive if it’s willing to reject logic and facts? We even have a school system that will grade on a person’s effort as opposed to them acquiring the necessary knowledge to succeed in life. If little Johnny struggles with math and he believes 2+3 = 15 then if the teacher feels that he has produced enough effort he will receive an award for effort as opposed to knowledge. Thus we are turning out citizens into the world without the necessary skills to survive and prosper. And instead of fixing the educational system we demand that people, who don’t have the skills to elevate themselves in society, receive a $15 an hour wage for an entry-level position, a position that was never meant to support a family or be a lifetime profession. We have a growing number of narcissistic millennial’s who believe everybody owes them an education as well as a job and success in life. Instead of rewarding competence and acquiring skills we reward everybody equally for just being there. Our liberal education system has made our young people completely unprepared for the challenges of life.
   And because we have rejected logic and reason we have groups like “Black Lives Matter” that promote a dishonest narrative for emotional and political reasons. When we see the violence and the violent rhetoric that most in this group promote it seems obvious that we have a group of lost individuals that just want anarchy and the opportunity to destroy things and express their inner hatred. The inconvenient facts are that there are more Native Americans that are killed in confrontations with police officers than any other racial group in the United States. But then those are facts and facts don’t seem to matter anymore in our society. And if we were to produce statistics like Afro-Americans only make up 13% of the population yet they are responsible for over 80% of the violent crimes then that would be a racist statement. When did factual statistics become racist? How can anything be fixed if we exchange facts for emotions? I would be the 1st to say that governmental intervention has been the cause for the breakdown of families in the black community. It’s this family breakdown that is led to crime and poverty which is true in any racial group. That’s not the same as saying if you’re in a broken home and poor then you’re going to be a criminal. It’s more complicated than that.
   But when we have dishonest politicians who buy into the false narrative and because of political expediency they ignore the facts and promote the lie like Obama’s knee-jerk reaction to always blame the police when there’s a confrontation. Again when the leadership promotes a false narrative then bad things can happen i.e. the Dallas massacre. And until we force our politicians to use responsible rhetoric and focus on facts instead of feelings these things will continually happen and escalate. The thing is “Truth Matters”, and until we elevate truth to its rightful position this nation will continue to decline. If we are going to see a decline in hate and rampage then we are going to need to see the elevation of truth again.
