Reading the news today I encountered the article "Nebraska RINO Don Bacon Compares America First Movement to Nazi Germany". It is not the first time I have seen such a comparison. It is of course a lie. It is much like calling racist when they disagree with someone who happens to be some skin color other than white. It is apparently never okay to disagree with anyone if you happen to be white. The irony is that in itself is a racist position.
I saw this new typical narrative about America First. I thought of a simple comparison. You see it actually does not resemble Nazi (aka National Socialist German Workers Party) at all. It does however resemble any commons sense country in history that actually wanted to protect and help it's people.
America First is not saying it must be BETTER or SUPERIOR to any other nation. It is not stating that Americans will not help other nations and people. It is pretty clear. It is basically saying "take care of your own house" before you run out there and start fixing someone else's house.
This used to be common sense. These days I don't think common sense is as common as it once was. If you don't like the term Common Sense because it ties it to frequency then let me offer you an alternative word.
Wisdom
When I speak of common sense you can alternatively use the term wisdom if you like. People can be extremely intelligent and at the same time be very unwise. They are very different things. I personally think of the two that wisdom is more important.
Imagine you are living in a house with your family which consists of a spouse and several children. You scramble to make sure there is enough to eat. So far you always manage. You have some leaks in the roof, a couple of broken windows, and your pipes are aging and prone to springing a leak each year. Your sewer system may also have some bellies that if you don't snake them regularly can lead to sewage back up.
Some people walk into your neighborhood and your neighbors and leaders come and demand that you help pay to build them a house. They don't give you a choice. They start taking more of your money to build the house for these people that just showed up. Suddenly you are having to find cheaper and less nutritious food because that is all you can afford. You watch that house being built and it has nice pipes, nice walls, and it doesn't having a leaking roof. You know you helped pay for that. Your struggles have increased.
You are considering speaking up yet before you can another neighbor who also has struggles says something. They are attacked as being some horrible person. They are called words that are very bad labels. These words lead to them being fired, or at the very least lead to them having trouble finding work. Perhaps they or family members die due to malnutrition, suicide, etc.
Whatever the outcome you decide that you are not going to say something after all.
You suddenly are being told you must contribute to pay for more homes to be built for people that just walked across another county line in a county other than your own. Now your pipes have leaks you can't afford to fix. You catch the water with unrecycled plastic bottles and dump them out when it gets full.
You watch other people crushed when they dare challenge the righteousness of this.
You remain silent... You don't want to be adorned with some horrible word.
You hear about people crawling through the windows of a neighbors house. When those neighbors contacted authorities the authorities told them they must make room for those people in their home. They must share their food. The authorities do say they will give some money for free to those people who crawled through the windows though.
More bad words get attached to anyone that cries about that...
Eventually you know you can't take anymore. Your family will die. You speak up. Yet it is too late. Who remains to stand by you? Who remains to help you?
Maybe your family can sneak across a border somewhere else and you'll get some of those hand outs for climbing through someone's window...
America First
America first simply means to fix your own house, and help your own people before you rush out to fix the houses of other people. The idea is that if we have healthy, prosperous, and sheltered people that we will be in a better position from which we can help others.
To focus on others while ignoring the plights of Americans is wrong. At this point I think it is intentional. I personally think what we are seeing is nothing less than the intentional destruction of the United States and all other nations.
Why would they do this?
There are any number of speculations people can have. Personally I tend to think it is necessary if they want a one world government. They have to create chaos and instability so they can offer their solution. "Let us rule and we will fix all the problems". The thing is these problems were likely created and encouraged by these same would be rulers.
I suspect these "saviors" will likely come in the guise of the United Nations or one of it's many spin off organizations (World Economic Forum, World Health Organization, etc.).
Is it a certainty? No. Yet if I consider these people are not stupid then looking at what is happening in the world I am left wondering what would make their actions seem actually intelligent and not stupid...
The one I presented is the most probable to me at the moment.
They control us by fear. They also control us by being afraid of being labeled a bad word.
Stop being afraid.
Anyone in any nation should put their own people and nation first. Only when their nation is healthy can they truly help others. America First is a sane thing. The way we have been going is insane.
End the Open Air Assylum
How many people can climb onto a raft no matter how fancy that raft may look before it sinks?
Our country is ruled by traitors. I wandered the county seat today and played spot the homeless camp. I think most of them will clear out by the end of the month though. We have some of the worst monsoon rains coming for the next 4 or 5 months, and gentlepeople of leisure tend to prefer sunny climes.
Thanks!
