This is my response to “It’s Time to Get Involved” by Patricia Patrie. She points out about slavery being wrong and mentions Jim Crow laws, but she doesn’t go into who was behind slavery, KKK, lynching, Jim Crow laws and segregation. Patricia also says that D.O.G.E. is a fake name. Could that be because she doesn’t like Donald Trump?
Trump is just doing what he ran on and said he was going to do. As the President, Trump has the power to appoint Elon Musk as head of D.O.G.E. The American people gave Trump a MANDATE when they elected him. The electors want the corruption and fraud out of the government, even though Patricia doesn’t sound like she does, it has been running rampant for decades usually under the Democrats and some of the Republicans. I can only conclude that Patricia think she knows more than the electors and that it takes mills of employees to keep the government running and growing under Democrat and Republican administrations. I say that is garbage.
Patricia also whines about Trump wanting to do away with the Department of Education (DOE). We didn’t have a DOE until Jimmy Carter (D) in the 1970’s. Let’s look at what has been happening to our schools since? The students have been getting dumbed down according to test scores revealed to the parents and the public through the Covid 19 Debacle. Patricia talks as if she doesn’t realize that not everything in the DOE will be done away with. Many of the departments will be moved to different parts of the government. To me, Patricia’s call to get involved sounded like a scare tactic for the public as we have been seeing from the Democrats call to enrage their base. At the state level, it would be the best place for controlling the education of their students and it gives some accountability to the education instruction by the parents and/or voters. Complainers like Patricia don’t like accountability as long as they can fill their pockets.
Patricia also says that Trump is illegally expelling people from our country. Well, the people that he is expelling are here illegally. They were brought in without going through the proper channels, under an administration of a Democrat. It is up to the Executive Branch to see that our laws are followed. As far as I am concerned, those who are here illegally have no right to any of our rights granted to a Real Citizen of the USA, and our Constitution. As I see it, they invaded our country with massive numbers. Patricia is blinded by her political ideas to not see the all-out invasion which should, under any other situation, prompt a call from our military to protect the Homeland.
Patricia’s hope for those that see and hear what she writes will become involved. Some of us have minds of our own that discern the difference of propaganda from truth. You and I have watched in the past years when Democrat leaders call for action of their base. As we watched them rise to the call, we saw the protests turn to violence in the summer of love with all the rioting, burning, looting, and murders. Parts of the cities were overtaken and the maiming of the police and some members of the right.
Some may not like to hear this, but some of us out here in the real world, pray for people like Patricia. I don’t wish for harm to come to her or people like her, however, her undertone wishes Donald Trump and his supporter’s harm. I pray that she may be saved by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
