Why Does America Need to Be Great Again?

We hear  a lot about "making America swell again".

The question has to be asked: What made America nifty in the first place? What did we get less and less of to make America less keen, and what practice we demand more of to brand it great again?

Fifty-fifty among Trump supporters, the answers may differ. And the answers differ wildly – even fundamentally – between Democrats and Republicans. It no longer appears to me that Democrats and Republicans really want the same things, with only dissimilar ways of getting there.

America became a great state because of its commitment to individual rights. Slavery was a glaring contradiction from the get-go. Just it was the principle of private rights that ultimately made slavery a thing of the past, even at the toll of a bloody Civil War.

If it were non for the concept of individual rights, slavery would still be with u.s..

Individual rights will ever be the answer to what makes America corking. In applied terms, this means private property. It also means liberty of clan. It as well means secure borders, not to keep out good people merely to go along out people who mean to do citizens harm, such as terrorists. Individual rights does non mean indiscriminately letting people in so every bit to proceeds votes for one of our two political parties. All the same that'southward what we've been doing.

Most basically, private rights means upholding the First and 2d Amendments. The First Amendment protects the right to freedom of thought. The 2d Subpoena protects the right to life. Without the correct to speak and think freely on your property, your mind is enslaved. Without the right to use weapons to protect your ability to get on living, your body is enslaved.

The Start and 2nd Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, combined with individual property and free markets, united mind and body in a way no other civilization in human history ever achieved. That'southward what made united states of america great.

Democrats have shown once again and again, particularly throughout the Obama years, that they don't care nearly individual rights. Obama used the IRS and exploited a friendly media to suppress as much dissent as he could become away with, brusk of installing an outright dictatorship. If we accept a Autonomous authorities like Obama'south again, the next logical steps, based on their own assertions since Donald Trump's election, volition be to openly suppress voice communication. They have already paved the way with their notion of "hate speech". The very idea that any idea can be confronting the constabulary openly defies our First Amendment. And Democrats take fabricated information technology very articulate they have no tolerance or patience for whatever ideas that are not their own. Dictatorship is the terminal remaining pace they take, and I believe they will take that step if they manage to go concur of power once again, as they could.

Without individual rights, no guild will exist smashing. That's why nosotros have to fight for individual rights even as we fight for the less inadequate of the ii parties or candidates to buy u.s.a. more time. Ownership time is non the aforementioned as defending the right principles, but it'due south a necessary pace to avoid collapse into totally incorrect principles. Whatsoever y'all think of President Trump and the Republican Political party, they're arguably the only option left for buying us fourth dimension before the Autonomous left imposes a consummate dictatorship, every bit I believe they volition if given the take a chance. Donald Trump volition be their rationalization for doing what they've wanted to exercise for years.

America volition be slap-up again merely the extent to which information technology becomes free over again. Freedom includes the right to private property, the right to proceed all of what 1 earns, and the right to participate in an uncontrolled gratis market for trading goods and services. And, most of all, it depends on the Get-go and Second Amendments.

Our greatness resides in our freedom. If Republicans ever forget that, then we are done.
