\"DSCF0017\"<\/a>To give a “minority” – i.e. hispanic American – opinion on this, most racism I’ve encounter tends to be (very) isolated individuals.<\/p>\n

The only real institutional<\/i>\u00a0racism I’ve encounter in the past several decades has been from Progressives. \u00a0The idea that I need<\/i>\u00a0their help is profoundly insulting. \u00a0Without bragging, I’m among of the best in the world at what I do. \u00a0I’ve changed how medicine is practiced. \u00a0More than once. \u00a0I can point to the defibrillators hanging on walls in public places, drugs given to family members and even myself, the heart monitoring equipment used to diagnose patients (including my mother-in-law over the last 2 months) and say that I have<\/i>\u00a0changed the world.<\/p>\n

Conservative philosophy is what pushed me and enabled me to do those things. \u00a0It’s my<\/i>\u00a0responsibility to make a difference in the world. \u00a0It’s not the government’s responsibility to make a difference for<\/i>\u00a0me. \u00a0Governments’ task it to keep evil at bay in the least<\/u> intrusive manner possible<\/i> so that I may have the liberty to secure my own success.<\/p>\n

\"Political<\/a>In contrast, all I’ve experienced from Progressive government has been roadblocks. \u00a0They take my work and give it to people who do not deserve it, to the point where it becomes difficult for me to care for my own family. \u00a0They try to silence my voice and opinions because they <\/i>choose<\/b>\u00a0to be offended by them. \u00a0The put obstacles in my path and my family’s path because we<\/i>\u00a0choose to pursue excellence and that is not fair to those that lack the ability, the passion or both. \u00a0And then they have the sick self-righteousness to say that I<\/b>\u00a0need their<\/b>\u00a0help because my grandfather came here from Mexico a hundred years ago? \u00a0 Is it any wonder that I despise Progressivism and those committed<\/i> to its philosophy as vile and disgusting propagators of evil?<\/p>\n

And don’t give me that crap about people who didn’t have the advantages I had. \u00a0A father who failed 1st grade because his English was too poor? \u00a0Parents who both dropped out of high school? \u00a0A father who spent his life driving a backhoe for Granite City Steel? \u00a0Growing up on the wrong side of the tracks in a cracker box in Granite City?<\/p>\n

Ok. \u00a0Perhaps I did have some<\/i>\u00a0advantages. \u00a0I had both<\/b>\u00a0parents, including a loving father that taught me how to be a man. \u00a0I grew up in a church that taught me the love of God. \u00a0I learned that life isn’t necessarily fair and to succeed anyway<\/em>. \u00a0I learned honor, duty, love, compassion and, at need, righteous anger. \u00a0I don’t feel guilty about those advantages. \u00a0I’m proud of them.<\/p>\n

Well guess what? \u00a0Government cannot replace or provide those things. \u00a0It’s not something you can get from a handout. \u00a0All that Progressivism has done is to tear apart the society and institutions that make those things possible. \u00a0You have made the world a worse place and left a mess for my son and heirs. \u00a0For that I hold you personally responsible. \u00a0You are my enemy. \u00a0You<\/i><\/b> have chosen the terms of the conflict; submission without surrender or compromise. \u00a0Political deals about how fast we descend into your hell is not compromise.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So be it.<\/p>\n

I will do everything in my power to utterly destroy you – and your worldview – politically and philosophically. \u00a0I will use the the rights protected by the First Amendment to the best of my skill to defeat you. \u00a0If needed, I will back that up with the Second Amendment. \u00a0Be warned. \u00a0I do not stand alone. \u00a0I am an American. \u00a0There are 100’s of millions that stand with me. \u00a0More are waking up to the danger you represent every day. \u00a0If this make you feel afraid or threatened, you have good reason. \u00a0We are not backing down any more. \u00a0You will not use my race or my faith or my success or guilt to silence me or hinder me any longer.<\/p>\n

We are coming for you and we will win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
