Although at times we are accused of preaching to the choir, it's time for the choir to start evangelizing a bit themselves in a quest for truth. We are frequently accused of preaching to the choir, and often that is true despite our best efforts to expand our audience to beyond the choir.
We tend to surround ourselves with like minded individuals that share our general philosophy and ideals, but we must not fail to hear viewpoints that might expand and even challenge our capacity for critical thinking.

If we hear only what we want to hear, before long we are trapped in a intellectual morass known as cognitive dissonance that kills our ability to think outside the box and expand our intellectual horizons.
Central to this broadening of our horizons is an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and an open mind that seeks truth regardless our preconceived notions and personal biases. This does not mean that we should fail to stand firmly in support of our basic beliefs, or to accept everything we hear as factual, regardless the source.
It does mean that we should be willing to do our own research to prove or disprove what we are told, and be able to defend our positions with facts not feelings. Although most of the arguments promoting utopian ideologies are purely emotion based, this type of thinking appeals to far too many of the intellectually lazy.
We are well served to provide a healthy dose of provable facts that cause the multitude of fence setters and conformists to look a bit beyond before they buy into the socialist lie.
Although the academic intelligentsia is populated with hardcore Marxists, very little research is needed to prove that few have ever had a livelihood outside the classroom or a protected public works job.
The “School of Hard Knocks” has very few graduates with an extensive academic background, most having forged their success through hard work and personal sacrifice.
Marxists, conformists, and technocrats were far too busy staking claims to victimhood as an excuse for their failure to succeed to actually get off their butts and work/sacrifice their way to success.
America is the last best hope for a world dangerously close to throwing in the towel on free market capitalism. The outright theft by Central Bankers and our financial elite have blemished the American dream and made success a dirty word.
100 years of Marxist indoctrination in our schools have destroyed much of what made America great, replacing individualism and honest competition with collectivism and the idea that everyone deserves a trophy, whether they earned it or not.
The American political class have forgotten all the important lessons of history in their quest to retain their thrones in the D.C. Swamp by providing goodies instead of leadership for the Voters.
The promises of fiscal responsibility prior to the election are thrown out like last week's trash as soon as the election is over, only to be repeated again with feigned sincerity at the next election.
Meanwhile, America descends into a pit of unpaid debt that guarantees national insolvency and a very bleak future for our progeny.
The 4th branch of government (the Administrative State) has nullified Congress and the Judiciary, making the office of the President a farce, and embedding a permanent class of hardcore socialists that control every aspect of American government.
Bureaucrats now control the President and Congress….not the other way around.
The concept of Public-Private partnerships have added a 5th branch of unaccountable government called Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) that play a never ending game of personnel musical chairs with Administrative Agencies under the pretext of providing professional accreditation and specialized expertise.
What they are really providing is a pretense of objectivity while stacking our government with radical environmentalists, Marxist fellow travelers, community organizers, and radical agents of social change that intend to end America as we know it.
So what's my point?
Although I might be accused of preaching to the choir, it's time for the choir to start preaching to others so the choir becomes the whole congregation and we all start singing together. We have a moral and social obligation to speak truthfully, and if we lack the knowledge to do so, have have the moral/national consciousness to read, research and learn from others until we can articulate a rational point of view that defends American exceptionalism and national sovereignty…..not as unelected technocrats tells us we must live.
Ignorance is never a rational excuse for intelligent people to muddle around stupidly repeating the same old socialist dictums. Especially when there are almost unlimited opportunities to seek the truth; at least until the Administrative State of America takes them away.
Wake up Americans and save yourselves and our great nation while there is still time!
