The Certainties of Past and Present Party Politics

Someone once said that there are only three certainties in life: death, taxes, and the Democrat Left’s loathing of America. Did I just say that? Admittedly I did. The first two points have consistently demonstrated the birth of our nation, while the last point has become a familiar feature in American ethos and is now largely met without substantial attention. The public swayed by the Left will believe in anything, so long as it is not founded on truth.

A recent Gallup poll finds declining American pride among Democrats and Independents, even as Republican pride rises. Some Democrats link this trend to opposition toward President Trump’s return and perceived achievements. Poll results highlight past instances of left-leaning commentators blaming America for major events. Gallup also notes Republican national pride remains high, with 92% expressing pride during this point in time.

So, here’s the nuts and bolts of it. When it comes to loathing America, Democrats seem intent on proving that their repugnance, hatred, abhorrence...  knows no bounds. Republicans, on the other hand, will no doubt speak out when they think their country has lost its way. But they love her just the same, come hell or high water, come Obama or Biden or, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Harbi Tlaib, Zohran Mamdani... Word to the wise: “Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.” 

Before The Flood Waters Receded...

While most of us were celebrating the 4^th of July festivities, families in central Texas were searching for loved ones, hoping to find survivors amid the catastrophic flooding that started with little warning in the dark hours before sunrise. Before the flood waters had receded, Democrat politicos and hordes of their unhinged leftist surrogates, proxies, bootlickers, sycophants, toadies emerged to blame Trump for the flooding and deaths. As with all mass-casualty incidents over the last 10-20 years across our nation, there emerging among the tragic accounts of heroism and personal sacrifice come fabrications, innuendos, denouncements, inaccuracies... all before the tragedy had waned and rescue had turned to recovery.

 

But just as predictable in the wake of a mass-casualty incident, before the flood waters had receded and rescue had turned to recovery the Democrat ingenuous misanthropists blamed Trump, claiming the tragedy was the result of vacancies at the National Weather Service (NWS). Fact: additional personnel were in the weather center covering the affected area. ABC’s talking head George Stephanopoulos, who claimed erroneously, “We’re also learning there were significant staffing shortfalls to the National Weather Services offices in the region.” A CNN anchor asserted that climate change and Trump are responsible... editor of Medias Touch News, protested: “The people in Texas voted for government services controlled by Donald Trump and Greg Abbott. Occupy Democrats claimed that Trump's NOAA budget cuts contributed to fatalities in Texas during Tropical Storm Barry. Across the country, Democratic leaders, including Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, blamed President Trump, emphasizing the importance of accurate weather forecasting for disaster prevention. Murphy’s message: “There are consequences to Trump’s brainless attacks on public workers, like meteorologists.” Really! Passing blame has become contagious among many of the Left’s Congressional Representatives and their kindred MSM magpies.

 

Let’s go back in time to 29 January 2025. This was like Democrats attributing Trump for the last mass-casualty accident between American Airlines 5342 and an Army Black Hawk helicopter, asserting there were vacancies in the Air Traffic Control tower. If my memory serves me correctly, those vacancies occurred under the previous administration. Meanwhile, families continue grieving after a catastrophic natural weather incident. For his part, Trump straightaway activated federal search and rescue resources and will visit the devastated area soon.

 

Word to the wise: People tend to remember more about what you do than what you say. Just look down at the hallowed halls of history to bear this out. Hence, with the political campaign machine beginning to ramp up for another mid-term season, many candidates, including incumbents, will begin to face this truth again as voters weigh what was said versus what was done. Should the two agree they will most likely be reelected without a problem but if they do not match up, the latest and newest imperious chatterboxes will take over. Lest we forget, “if you’re going to talk the talk you better walk the walk”, “practice what you preach”, “well done is better than well said” and “talk is cheap” have all had their heydays for essentially the same thing. We all want action more than we want words. While words are good for some things when it comes to the important things in life, like leadership, character, love, emotional connection, promises or even spiritual revelations don’t just tell me with words rather define it with action! In other words, what have you done lately. Should we make a mistake and live out our humanity rather than acknowledge it, apologize for it, make any amends necessary and then get back doing what’s best for America’s citizenry. For those who proclaim to be Christians, I say look no further than our Savior’s own example. It is important to remember that he demonstrated his principles not only through words, but also through his actions. Should we make a mistake and live out our humanity before them rather than Jesus Christ’s example, we need to acknowledge it, apologize for the flawed example, make any amends necessary and then get back into following our Savior’s own example after all, He was one who didn’t just tell us with words, He showed us with His own actions!
