Since the Democrats really have no message other than ‘Dump Trump’ what is it behind the scenes that they truly want to see happen with traditional American life? Looking down the road a few miles just where does ultra-far-left thinking take you? Where would it all end up if they keep chipping away at the American Dream?

The liberals started with taking down Confederate memorial Civil War statues. Now they want to silence the National Anthem, reject the American flag and abolish the U.S. Constitution. That’s what they want! Many Democrats now say these three ‘things’ are “racist” and need to be rejected because they were created by ‘white people’ who owned ‘black slaves’ during the 18 and 19 centuries. All the signers of the Declaration of Independence are now seen as “racists.” It’s the same bunch of Democrats calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
Liberal Democrats want to see a United States of America copied from European counties with open borders without deportations, worldwide free trade, a common worldwide currency with centralized government, climate agreements, socialized health care, harsh gun control-elimination laws, eradicate nuclear weapons, smaller military forces and gentler law enforcement.
In present day the division between conservatives and liberals is as deep as the Pacific Ocean is wide. When liberal lawmakers speak conservatives cringe and vice versa. Neither group can stand listening to the other let alone consider their opposing views. Both speak a language foreign to the other.

Take for example the current siege upon the National Anthem by professional football players and other sports figures. During the playing of the anthem many of the players have been ‘taking-a-knee’ or sitting showing disrespect. The National Football League has tried but failed to deal with the situation. The NFL is considering a rule change for the 2018 season that would keep the players in the locker room until the National Anthem was played or sung, according to news reports. Taking such action would be a big mistake.
The NFL is hurting this year, team owners as well — as the once-full football stadiums are half empty for many games. Their TV ratings are way down as well which drives advertising rates over the cliff because the everyday football fan watching from home is fed up with the anthem protests from rich, millionaire ball players ungrateful for their opportunities in the USA. Fans are turning off professional football in large numbers preferring to do something else for entertainment. First it was to protest police brutality, but that theme has mutated into a protest of President Trump.

Football fans want nothing to do with politics on Sunday afternoon or Monday and Thursday nights. Stand, play the anthem and play ball — what’s so hard? These ball players are abusing that moment by turning attention upon them for these ugly and disrespectful displays. So America is boycotting the NFL who apparently is powerless to force players to stand and be considerate about what the American flag stands for. Footballs fans don’t give a hoot what those ball players want.
Some counties – like India, the world’s largest democracy – take the playing of their national anthem much more seriously. If anyone sits or disrespects during the playing of India’s national anthem – sports figures or citizens, they get arrested and hauled away by local police, according to the Indian press. Imagine the upheaval if that happened during a Cowboys Vs Redskins game in Washington, DC. Imagine.

Public displays of American patriotism are shied away from universally by establishment Democrats. The American flag is seen less and less during Democratic political rallies and events that never begin with the National Anthem, unlike Trump rallies.

If America’s citizen voters want to keep the America they grew up in it’s imperative to drown out liberalism by electing more Republicans and Independents to the U.S. Congress, State Legislatures and Governor’s Offices and lower the Democrats to an insignificant number which would effectively end their liberal agenda.

The creation of a third political party is on the horizon, the full and equal Independent Party participating in every way right along with Republicans and Democrats though the primary election season all the way to the national election. This new IP would have their own candidates and be on stage during all the debates. The established two-party system has long outlived its usefulness as evidenced by their continuing obstruction of progress for the American people.

Registered Independent voters now outnumber Republicans and Democrats. Creating a strong IP would most certainly encourage additional fourth and fifth-party candidates to emerge. All these new ideas on how to handle America’s problems would be born, debated and acted upon. Good things can come from political diversity, but kicking America to the curb is no way to win future elections.
