PATRIOT OR DICTATOR

Patriot or Dictator

Patriot: a person who loves and strongly supports or fights for his or her country.

Dictator, a single person who possesses absolute political power within a country or territory or a member of a small group that exercises such power. Dictators usually resort to force or fraud to gain despotic political power, which they maintain through the use of intimidation, terror, and the suppression of basic civil liberties. They may also employ techniques of mass propaganda in order to sustain their public support.

You be the judge…….

These terms Patriot and Dictator have been thrown about by both political parties and depending upon the leanings of the media each are justified in the eyes of the general public after and 4 years of President Donald Trump and almost 4 years of President Joe Biden we must do our own comparison.

President Trump said he would only run for president if his country needed him and in 2015 he felt that call to run for public service for the sake of others at great financial loss instead of for personal gain. A firm believer in the Rule of Law as stated in the US Constitution and a staunch supporter of the rights of American citizens to chart their own coarse toward a prosperous future, President Trump is poised to make good on his promises to fix the border crisis, correct the course of the US economy, secure America’s place in world affairs by strengthening our military and keeping America out of unnecessary, costly wars and aggressively reshaping the size of government to stop unnecessary wasteful spending in order to balance the national budget and bring down the tremendous deficit facing our children and grandchildren. That is what patriots do.

President Biden has spent his entire adult life in politics, first the congress, then as vice president and now as president arguably at great personal and financial gain. A firm believer in the Democratic Party President Biden has used his party’s bully pulpit to force compliance of a segment of the American people and literally shredding the Bill of Rights in the process demonstrating the acts of a dictator, calling Americans who support his political opponent vile names for publicly speaking out against his failed policies. His party calls him a great president, yet has abandoned him in his greatest hour of need. That’s what dictators do.

Instead of blasting “the other side”, Americans must come together to forge a new way forward that unites us as a people. It’s not a democrat or a republican thing; it’s purely an American thing.

Unless we learn the lessons of past mistakes, our future is destined to repeat them.

You cannot always choose your friends; but you must know who your enemies are.  We must be careful of who we allow into our inner circle. Bad company is always bad for business and personal growth. – RTM
