America under Attack americanthinker.com/articles/2019/… via @AmericanThinker
America is still that city upon a hill, but our future is less certain. Will we remain a nation in which our basic freedoms are guaranteed? We face a progressive movement that is willing to sacrifice our liberty in exchange for what it calls social justice.
America cannot be the home of "partial liberty." Any violation of any of our constitutional liberties must be offensive to all Americans. Those who are willing to cede the rights of others, thinking it will not impact them, are sadly mistaken.
This is especially true at a time when assaults on Second Amendment rights of gun ownership and First Amendment rights of religious expression and free speech are under widespread attack by progressives.
If Justice Ginsberg's concept of a "living Constitution" prevails, none of our liberties is safe. We could be imprisoned for speaking the name of Christ, and our right to free and fair elections can be stolen by the IRS, the FBI, the DOJ, and the federal courts themselves.
If society is willing to violate the original text of the Constitution, then it is left with no yardstick for measuring right and wrong. To ignore the Constitution in the interest of social justice is to open the door to the worst sort of tyranny.
Progressives’ assaults on our freedom show just how willing they are to put social justice ahead of constitutional liberty — although social justice is not their true goal. Their goal is permanent power in the name of social justice, which is a very different thing.
Given free rein, the Left would transform America into a repressive dictatorship ruled by ideological extremists. The Fourth of July is the best possible time to reflect on the danger we face and to resolve to defend American liberty.
Progressives, especially those running for president, have become far more blatant in their support for one unconstitutional measure after another.
America is still that "city upon a hill," but progressives would bring us down from that hill and steal our freedom and opportunity. Now is the time to stop them.
