Daria I. Novak – “Approximately 808,000 “noncitizens” may vote in future New York City elections, if the City Council welcomes them to do so, as early as December. These potential new members of the electorate would include green card holders and those with certain work permits,” according to a November 29, 2021, Daily Caller story by Deroy Murdock.
If we lose our sovereignty, ALL is lost! There are 3 basic tests that are accepted and used since the start of the modern nation-state system in 1648 (Peace of Westphalia) to determine if a location is a nation-state. We’ve lost one principle and are losing the remaining two. A 3-legged stool can’t stand without all its legs intact and neither can the United States of America.
First, there is recognition of a country by an international legal body such as the UN. Check. We are recognized as a legal nation-state.
Second, the country must have a generally understood common culture… religion, language, etc. that unite the citizens as “one people.” WE ARE LOSING THIS ONE.
Third, there is a recognized physical border that differentiates the “us” from the “them.” WE ARE LOSING THIS ONE, TOO!
Many of our fellow citizens arrived from failed or failing states. None of our legal immigrants want us to become what they escaped from in the past. Yet here we are making big mistakes with the aid of countries such as China, Russia, Iran, and others supporting ideas antithetical to everything this country has stood for since 1776.
I am not proposing taking up arms. I am proposing that each of us, as Ronald Reagan said long ago, has a responsibility to ensure that freedom is preserved for the next generation. It may be uncomfortable to talk about with those who are indoctrinated with a false truth, but we must be active or there will be no country left for the next generation to inherit from us. It is no longer enough to simply raise our families and go to work. We need to move from a passive support of our beliefs to one of active participation.
That means getting out the vote and teaching those among us who lack an understanding of how and why our country was formed and the dangers we face today. Make people aware of what is happening inside the classroom, corporate America, the media, and our government.
We the people have the power to reclaim the nation-state our Founding Fathers designed to serve us – a country governed by the people with certain tasks assigned to government that individuals can’t easily handle. We have lost our way and become slaves to the state instead of citizens of the country!
If those of us who remember don’t speak up, those who never knew will be doomed to a dark future.
