The United States is a nation of richness and firsts. We were the first nation of, by, and for the people; the world’s first constitutional republic, egalitarian in nature, with individual rights legitimized by the consent of the people. This transformation all happened within the framework of the only society that would allow such a renewal: Western culture.
Our government is a working democratic republic, but with one important difference: the protection of the minority.
While the House of Representatives is based on the population of each state, the Senate gives every state an equal voice.
We are an exceptional nation, rich in natural resources, particularly timber, technology, coal, natural gas, oil, and fertile agriculture—290,000 sq. miles of it. As a result, 36 states have enacted laws that restrict foreign adversaries, such as Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, from owning such land. We have 95,000 miles of coastline and excellent inland waterways for transporting goods.
While it doesn’t make us perfect, it does establish us as the benchmark for every other nation.
The freedoms we enjoy, such as freedom of speech (in spite of Democrat fears), the right to defend ourselves from the criminal or an intolerable government gone rogue, the pursuit of our dreams, and the right to reject government interference in our lives, make us a target for every nation whose governments deny such freedoms in order to maintain their own power.
This structure positions us as adversaries to many other countries. Not so much because of who we are, but because of what we are. Those who would harm us are blinded by our freedoms, which they neither share nor understand.
The Democrats’ illegal opening of our borders for four years allowed hostile nations, especially China, to build an army inside our country of at least divisional strength, waiting for orders.
We know there are Chinese, Russian, Iranian, and North Korean spies everywhere dressed as students, professors, businessmen, and probably some in our government and armed forces.
Other nations emptied their prisons and mental institutions to let them roam free on our streets. Almost everyday we hear of a murder, assault, rape, or whatever they have committed. Who will be held responsible?
We have now come to a dangerous point where hostile nations and even domestic enemies have learned to use our freedoms against us.
Foreign enemies use our freedom of speech to spread propaganda, misinformation, and control of social media to divide us and create distrust in our democratic institutions. They steal intellectual property and use legal loopholes regarding privacy to conduct their covert activities.
Most Democrat politicians claim that illegal aliens are subject to the same protections that citizens enjoy. This makes it easy for them to challenge enforcement actions or, in some cases, deportation against them.
These Democrats have joined forces with these aliens to subvert our institutions and establish Marxist footholds across the USA. This is not Kennedy’s Democrat Party.
They are using our freedoms against us, and very effectively.
Our freedom of religion has been especially persuasive. Europe’s tolerance for Islam has been exploited by Muslims who aim for complete domination in the coming decades. They have been very successful in using Europe’s recent antagonism toward Christianity and Judaism to brush it aside as they take over whole neighborhoods and towns, build mosques, and announce prayers on loudspeakers five times daily. They are accomplishing what they couldn’t militarily in times past. Amazingly, Europe has practically given over their continent to a 6th century culture.
Here in the United States, Islam is much more covert. Efforts by groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood are aiming to influence and deteriorate Western culture quietly from within.
They are pushing to create areas to promote Sharia law and to increase political participation. Members of Congress, mayors of major cities, and local government officials who seem to have little regard for our country appear everywhere. The formation of organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the growing Muslim population due to higher birth rates, and documents detailing “Civilization Jihad” all demonstrate a 100-year plan to infiltrate and undermine Western society from within.
The proposed Islamic city project in Texas called Epic City has faced significant political opposition and a rebranding to “The Meadow.” While developers insist it is an inclusive city, Texas officials say otherwise. With no-go zones and the like, it has become a good example of our freedoms being used in such a way as to destroy us. Legal battles have been legion, with legal decisions going in every direction, trying to find a decision that protects the rights of everyone and every entity while not creating a mini Islamic nation within the United States.
In April, 2026, a Travis County judge ruled in favor of the developers. However, Gov. Greg Abbott and AG Ken Paxton immediately appealed and halted that ruling. CAIR has described Texas’s actions as politically motivated. No one has ever accused Muslims of not being politically motivated.
In a sense, CAIR is right. The motivation behind Abbott’s actions is political, as Texas is using every legal and political tool to prevent ‘The Meadow’ from becoming a mini Gaza within the state of Texas.
Foreign influence aligned with domestic enemies using our freedoms against us has become a troubling issue in debates about our national security. It has reignited debate on whether foreign nationals should have the right to protest the legitimacy of our nation or our actions both domestically and internationally—especially on our own soil. Marxist ideology has had a particularly significant impact.
You don’t go to someone’s home as a guest and criticize the accommodations.
It is alarming that Democrat leaders and pundits are seemingly aligning themselves with Marxist revolutionaries. They are openly advocating for significant changes such as abolishing the Electoral College, eliminating voter ID requirements, packing the Supreme Court, initiating impeachments, reopening our borders, and effectively dismantling our country. Some even appear to wish for our adversaries to prevail in the Iran conflict. And the media reacts like everything is normal.
It’s especially vexing that they’ve partnered with Marxists and are making strides. And why not, we have given them the tools they need and they are using them.
