s we see America’s decline on the world stage, we understand the radical Democrats are pushing forward with a strong socialist agenda. What would a socialist America ultimately look like?
The transformation of the country has clearly begun- especially over the last few months as we approach the one-year mark of the Biden Administration being in office.
Let us imagine ourselves tiring early one evening, drowsy and at peace with the knowledge we are free, and our inalienable rights secure. The next morning, we wake up to face another day in America, but there’s something different.
On our way to work we can’t help but notice public service workers are taking down a statue and monument in the center of town dedicated to our Civil War heroes. Ever since you can remember, there has been a monument to the Civil War dead right downtown.
Upon arriving at work, the boss has called an employee group meeting. You are informed that unless you take vaccination shots immediately, your employment with the company will be terminated, so take the shots or lose your job!
You are stunned at this surprise development. Your wife only recently gave birth to twins, and you know full well you can’t afford to lose your job. You live in a State border town, and today you must drive to a neighboring state to see customers in another city.
Your drive is pestered by thoughts of taking vaccinations which are untested, and the risk from taking such medications remains totally opaque.
The thoughts of your impending compulsory medical procedure distract you from the road and you nearly rear-end another car stopped along with many other vehicles in the middle of the highway.
At first you think there must be an accident, and you look ahead to see what’s going on. You see flashing lights from two police cars and the tension starts building in the back of your neck as you realize you are going to be late for your meeting with an important client with your company.
The cars inch forward slowly until finally you realize there is no accident, instead there are police officers stopping cars and cross examining the occupants. Finally, it’s your turn, and a police officer asks you, “Can I see your papers Sir?”
You respond, “Papers? What papers?” The police officer turns aggressive, “Your papers Sir!” he demands. “I don’t understand. Do you want to see my Driver’s License?” The officer angrily responds, “That’ll do for a start!”
You fish out your wallet and pull out your driver’s license and registration, which the impatient policeman grabs out of your hands. You sit there in near total confusion as the officer walks back to confer with two other police officers.
Finally, the officer walks back to your car window and hands you back your license and car registration and informs you that you need a special pass to cross State lines! In utter amazement you ask where you are supposed to get this pass and why you even need one?
You are informed that unless your trip is deemed “essential,” then you cannot pass! The police turn your car back at the State line and you are forced to return to work to an angry boss who screams at you for not picking up a pass from the office before embarking on your work-related excursion.
You are now forced to work late calling up the customers in the neighboring State you were unable to meet with due to the new government-imposed measures.
On the way home your cell phone starts buzzing away with concerned texts from your wife asking where you are, and that it’s late, and can you pick up some extra supplies on the way home?
Glancing at your watch you notice its well after 10 PM and you can hardly believe how miserable your day has been. Suddenly, the sound of a police siren and flashing lights appear through your car windows.
You pull over and a police officer asks you to exit your car with your hands up and to get down on your knees! Before you even have time to register what’s happening, an officer pins you to the ground while another hand cuffs you and puts you in the back seat of his cruiser. In a daze, you ask why you are under arrest and one of the arresting officers informs you have broken the 10 PM curfew.
In total confusion you ask what curfew, and you are told local State Government has imposed a curfew that no one can be on the streets after 10 PM. You sit there in stunned silence. You are handcuffed and you are under arrest and being driven to a local police station. Yesterday you were a citizen and a taxpayer. Now, you’re a criminal!
Before, the Government was beholden and afraid of the people. Today there is a new dawn-the day of Socialism has arrived, and now the people are more afraid of the government, and the population is subservient to the new role of socialist agenda.
Cooling your heels in the local town jail, you think back to an earlier time in America. You remember how you could go anywhere you wanted, anytime you wanted to go, but now this freedom is lost.
You desperately rack your brain, trying to pinpoint the moment things changed, but there is no one moment or thing which stands out to you.
Minds more pitiless than many others worked quietly in the background planning, working feverishly, and executing ruthlessly, by any means necessary, to carry out the darkest of plans possible, while America slept in the smug confidence there’s no need to worry, because they are free.
Then a day came when Americans were not free! You may ask yourself, none of these things are happening here in North America, but you’re wrong.
Look to the North. There’s a society which has already been transformed into a leftist-socialist one. It is called Canada. In Canada, the clergy are being routinely rounded up, arrested, while churches are being ordered to close.
Church congregations are being locked out of their local church buildings by government polices enacted both against existing constitutional guarantees of stated freedoms of religion and association.
In Quebec, there is a 10 PM curfew imposed by The Provincial Legislature, and folks are being arrested and fined for simply walking on the streets after 10 PM. If you want to know what a socialist America would look like, then look North of the border and see what unchecked socialism does to people’s freedoms.
Freedom isn’t free! Freedom must be protected. Freedom must be fought for. Freedom needs strong borders to contain it. Freedom must be voted for. We must demand freedom from our politicians and become intolerant of compromise.
If Americans want to remain free, then they must resist any abrogation to their constitutionally guaranteed freedoms unto death. America is not a democracy – it is a Constitutional Republic.
