We all know what a hell of a ride 2021
was...a year dominated primarily by all things covid and covid
related. Ranging from the
original
“jab” itself, to boosters, breakthrough cases, and on to mask
mandates that violated our Constitutional rights, and if I hear Dr.
Fauci spewing one more medical lie I think I'll just scream. And dare
not forget to throw into the 2021 mix inflation now reaching a record
high; job report numbers that continue to be dismal at best; store
shelves empty due to cargo ships not being unloaded; violent crime increasing from coast to coast; the fiasco that
was our withdrawal from Afghanistan; and politicians more times than
not selling out to the highest bidder. And all this sets the stage
for what yet could become but another political disaster in the
making...remember the dead will still be voting and Dominion voting
machines will probably still be used come this November.
And while these things mentioned are or
at least should be common knowledge...and are for those of us who had
our eyes wide open coupled with us having a modicum of common
sense...there does remain other issues that took on a life of their
own that greatly contributed to a year most of us are glad is finally
over. And while here, in this one article, there are too many such
happenings to properly delve into...word constraints being in place
after all...so instead I have narrowed it down to a few key issues
that had me seething throughout 2021...with the entirety of the covid
“feardemic” a given...a
given that I've previously written and spoken about on many
occasions.* So here I start instead with the overtly
politically driven, leftist initiated, abomination known as
“cancel
culture.”
For
me, “cancel
culture” seemed to take on even more of a life of its
own in 2021 as it went far beyond just statues being torn down to
some of its adherents demanding... with violence as their
calling card...that American history be rewritten and that
our laws be changed to placate those who vehemently refuse to get
over their ever sorry selves. Simply, the adherents of
“cancel culture”
remain threatened by the concepts of personal responsibility
and personal accountability for, in their eyes, it's way better to blame
others for their self-inflicted miserable lot in life and to receive
from the government
their
so-called “daily
bread”...so much better
and easier than finding
workable solutions to problems they alone deem as remaining unsolved.
And with societal norms also falling
victim
to “cancel culture,” its partner in crime, if you
will, became
“political correctness,” with
the two entities then having melded together to truly “cancel
out” what is known as “common
sense.” And it was all being
done in an attempt to create a society where anything goes...a society
where even the worst abominations were to be deemed both politically and
morally correct...does there being 57 genders ring the “woke”
insanity bell...does pedophilia being deemed by numerous psychologists an acceptable sexual behavior also ring that same
“woke” insanity bell...it
should. And dare we forget that all was but a misguided attempt by
the left to not only create a “color-blended, gender
neutral society,” but to
“cancel out” the
very basis of America's white society as a whole.
Simply,
by taking away who our Founders and Framers were and by taking away
who we are today, suddenly the voices of patriots both past
and present have been marginalized, thus circling back to the left's
wanting the "canceling out" and rewriting of American history.
And then, for me, there was also the
issue of what became known as
“acceptable violence”...as
in rioting, looting, and arson all being looked away from if
perpetrated by Black Lives Matter (BLM) and/or their assorted
ilk...violence mostly against white folks, white owned businesses,
and even at times against blacks whom BLM deemed to be
“Uncle
Tom's.” And not only was said
violence acceptable, but it came replete with a “get out
of jail free card,” for no
legal recourse was being taken against the vast majority of these
folks. Take what you want if you think it's owed to you...in other
words think of stealing as a form of reparations...was the message not
so subliminally sent by BLM sorts who saw it as a means of getting
even with “whitey”
for slavery's sins of the past...sins not committed by or against anyone
alive today.
But
what I felt as being even worse than this was that during the
entirety of last year few black voices...voices of good, decent,
hard working black Americans...black Americans I'd be proud to call
neighbor...black Americans who continue to strive for, value, and
cherish the same things and ideals that most of we white Americans
do...black Americans who honor and respect our flag and our
country...their voices were still being drowned out by the voices of
the BLM radical few. “If you don't condemn you condone”
comes to mind and is akin to those who fearfully refuse to speak out
against terrorists...domestic or otherwise.
And I truly believe that
Black Lives Matter as a whole is indeed a domestic terrorist
organization whose agenda is to bring white America to her knees...to
have us grovel at the feet of black America...to divide the races
even more so as they continue spewing the nonsense of supposed “white
privilege,” and try to shove
the likes of
"Critical Race Theory" down all our throats.
And when all is coupled
with violent actions taken it totally negates BLM's musings about
wanting "equality" alone.
Also, I cannot forget that 2021 was the
year that saw not only those “in blue” having had a
bullseye tacked onto their backs, but was a year that saw 458
federal, state, tribal, and local law enforcement deaths...a 55%
increase from 2020 and the highest number since the terrorist attacks
of 9/11. And 2021 bore witness to an overall increase in gun violence
and homicide (with 16 cities setting new homicide records)** along with a steep increase in violent crime in general, most all having
been committed by those whose political leanings lean decidedly
to the left...most involving the perpetrators, percentage wise,
being black.
In fact, as per the latest released government
figures*** blacks commit crimes at nearly three times the rate that
whites do, which when broken down even further shows that blacks
commit 36% of the violent crimes here in our country yet they make up
roughly just 13% of our total population. And it's here where black voices
other than that of BLM and their ilk need to be heard the most for
like I said earlier most black Americans are decent, hard working
folks who lives truly are being tainted by the actions of but a few,
and it's way passed time they realized and did something about that.
Now another issue that I felt helped to
define the infamy that was 2021 was the situation at our southern
border, a situation that had seen the successful immigration policies
initiated by President Trump working to lower the number of illegals
entering our country to the their lowest level in many years. But as
we all know, in Democrats eyes, anything Trump that worked had to be
removed post-haste, and in 2021 was done so by Biden's too quick to
sign stack of executive orders piling up on the Resolute desk.
So now
as we enter 2022 we still are bearing witness to a southern
border free-for-all as illegals continue to cross over in droves with
many of them being covid infected. And yet Biden relishes in dispersing them
throughout our country...after all he has to keep the pandemic
ongoing... and does so by processing and then shipping them out via
unannounced middle of the night flights to mostly red states. And he does so in the hope of turning said states blue...vote garnering at the expense
of the health, safety, and welfare of we, the American people...vote
garnering used as the method by which to help the Democrats keep
their now tenuous grip on power intact.
And surely something that kept me
seething was that 2021 became an overt year of unbridled
censorship...censorship of only the “conservative right”
that is. But it wasn't just censorship of the big name Republican
players or of the conservative leaning talking heads, but censorship
of we the little guy as well. Dare to to criticize the Democrat's
sainted Dr. Fauci or call his covid lies and hidden truths to task,
and one became a social media pariah whose voice had to be
silenced...or in the case of Facebook either was temporarily
suspended or had their posts moved way down in the news feed so barely
anyone would see said truth. Book burning in action...book burning
just by another name.
So while other things of course raised
my ire, there were a few things that gave me hope that our country
can be turned back to the right again besides just seeing the
Republicans taking back the House and the Senate. And that hope comes
first via the recent actions of Sens. Joe Manchin and Kristin Sinema,
as well as ex-Rep. Tulsi Gabbard whom together, I believe, can
actually lay the ground floor for restoring the Democrat party to the
party of J.F.K...a party where Democrats and Republicans once worked
together for the common good of both our country and
“We the
People” as well. And second, and to me most importantly, hope
springs from the
“Free State of Florida's” Gov. Ron
DeSantis whose policies and strong stand against unconstitutional
mandates and lockdowns can help lead the way back to a free America
for all 50 states. I've got my fingers crossed...hope you do too.
