We’ve always been divided as a nation. Only twice in our history were we truly united; after December 7th, 1941 for several years. And after September 11th, 2001 for several months.
But now the polarization has come to this.

For as John Adams said, “Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society.”

They have called us racists, fascists and followers of Hitler. And homophobes. zealots, unenlightened and extremists. They call us deplorables and garbage.

But that wasn’t enough.

They now murder corporate executives, cowardly shooting them in the back. And people like Senator Elizabeth Warren cheer them on.

They assault Senator Rand Paul because they disagree with him. And the left says nothing.

A Senator Bernie Sanders supporter shoots a GOP congressman and Sanders says nothing, tacitly endorsing it.

They burn and destroy Elon Musk’s auto dealerships simply because they disagree with him.

They try twice to assassinate Donald Trump and the left either yawns or cheers them on.

They killed Charlie Kirk because he dared to utter words and ideas they want to exterminate.

And when a prayer for Charlie Kirk and his family was offered on the floor of the House of Representatives, Democrats hoot and yell and shout it down.

It has come to this.

It is right out of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine, when in the very distant future, people have divided themselves into the Eloi, the sophisticated surface dwellers and the Morlocks, the bottom dwellers who feed on the peaceful Eloi.



But it is not the future, it is now, as the Left now feeds on conservatives.

We are the producers. They are the consumers.

We are the productive members of society. They are the destructive members of society.

We believe in construction. They believe in destruction.

We love the citizenry. They hate the citizenry.

We love America. They hate America.

We love freedom. They hate freedom.

They love violence. We love peace.

They abort babies. We cherish babies.

We believe boys will be boys and girls will be girls. They believe boys will be girls and girls will be boys.

We love Jesus and Moses. They hate Jesus and Moses. 

We love knowledge. They hate knowledge. 

They love ignorance. We love enlightenment.

They hate history. We love history.

We celebrate privacy. They hate privacy.

We love life. They hate life.

We love the people of our churches and synagogues. They hate the people of our churches and synagogues.

We seek domestic tranquility. They create anarchy.

We love prosperity. They hate prosperity.

They lie. We tell the truth.

We believe in scholarship. They believe in ignorance.

They believe in lawlessness. We believe in the rule of law.

We love knowledge. They hate knowledge.

We love exploration and discovery. They hate exploration and discovery.

We believe in talking to our political opponents. They believe in killing their political opponents.

We love our country. They hate our country.

We love patriotism. They hate patriotism.

We believe in truth. They believe in lies.

We love our God. They hate our God.

We are the party of light and knowledge. They are the party of darkness and obliviousness.

They are evil. We are good.
