mY HACKLES WERE UP IMMEDIATELY IN BOTH CASES. tHE SMEAREING AND NAMECALLING OF THE RIGHT BY THE LEFT IS INFURIATING AND IT'S A DAILY THING NOW. iT'S SMEARING, IT'S CENSORSHIP, IT'S CRIMINAL PROSECUTION OF TRUMPED UP CHARGES, CRIMINALIZATION OF PERFECTLY NORMAL BEHAVIORS, IT'S POLITICAL TYHRANNY AND IT'S GETTING WORSE BY THE MOUR IT SEEMS.
maga TO A maga FAN IS MERELY THE RECOVERY OF TRADITIONAL aMERICAN PRINCIPLES, ENTIRELY MAINSTREAM, NOTHING EXTREEME ABOUT IT. tHE EXTREMISM IS OF COURSE ON THE SIDE OF THE LEFTIST WHO AS USUAL ARE FOLLOWING THEIR RULES OFR RADICALS AND ACCUSING THEIR OPPONENTS OF WHAT THEY THEMSELVE S ARE GUILTY OF. THEY ARE THE EXTREMISTS, THEY ARE THE DISMANTLERS OF DEMOCRACY, maga IS THE ATTEMPT TO GET US BACK TO A SANER GOVERNING FRAMEWORK, A cONSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK, AFTER THE lEFT HAS SPE NT DECAADES TEARING IT TO PIEC4ES. iT ISN'T SYNONYMOUS WITH tRUMP'S POLICIES BUT HIS POLICIEIS CERTAINLY WENT A LONG WAY TO REESTABLISHING THE GREATNESS OF aMERICA AS WE THINK OF IT, THE LOWERING OF TAXES, THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF ENERGY INDEPENDENCE, THE SECURITY OF OUR BORDERS, THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF TRADE PLICIES THAT BENEFIT aMERICA, AND MUCH MORE BESIDES. tRUMP IS APPRECIATED BY MANY OF US BECAUSE OF HIS AGGRESSIVE AND UNHESITATING ENACTMENT OF ALL THESE BENEFITS FOR THE NATION. nOT A MERE EMPTY PROMISE, BUT ACTUAL FULFILLMENT. i DON'T LIKE THAT LATELY HE SOMETIMES SAYS THINGS THAT SOUND TOO FAR LEFT, i DON'T LIKE THAT AT ALL, BUT i STILL RECOGNIZE HOS EFFECTIVE HE WAS DURING HIS TERM IN OFFICE AND AM STILL FOR A REPEAT OF THAT PRESIDENCY. i ALSO HATED WHAT HE DID WITH covid, HIS PUSHING OF UNTESTED VACCINES ON US WHICH BECAME A TOTALITARIAN WEAPON IN THE HANDS OF bIDEN, AND i WAS DISAPOINTMENT IN HIS INABILITY TO DO ANYTHING TO QUALL THE RIOTING AFTER THE gEORGE fLOYD INCIDENT. bUT OTHERWISE i VERY MUCH LIKE HIS POLICIES AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE A CONTINUATION OF THEM, AND i THINK i MUST HAVE \\\\ BE IN SYNCH WITH MOST tRUMP SUPPORTERS.

bUT maga IS BIGGER THAN tRUMP i'M OFTEN SHOECKED AT THE WAY IT IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE lEFT AS RACIST, AS A TOOL OF WSHITE SUPERMACIEST. iN ITS SIMPLEST FORM i SUPPOSE THIS JUST REFLECTS THE IDEA THAT WITHO OUR HISTORY OF RACISM HOW CAN WE EVEN TALK OF A ONCE GREAT aMERICA. iT HAS A MALICIOUS FORM TOO BUT i'M ONLY TALKING ABOUT HE SIMPLEST FORM AS i THINK OF IT. nOBODY IS PROMOTING maga AS A RETURN TO RACISM FOR PETE'S SAKE, AND SUCH AN IDEA CAN ONLY COME OUT OF THE LAST FEW DECADES OF aMERICA HATING PROPAGANDA FROM THE mARXIST lEFT. a PSROPEROUS SOCIETY FOR ALL CLASSES, A GOOD SOCIEITY WHICH CARES OUT THE POOR AND THE REST OF THE WORLD AS WELL AS aMERICANS BUT CARES FIRST OF ALL TO ESTRENGTHEN AND PROTECT AMERICANS, A PROSPEROUS SOECITIY, A GOOD SOCEITY, THE SOCIETY O THE gREATEST gENERATION, THAT'S maTGa in my mind and I think also in most others who support it. America makes mistakes, but America corrects its mistakes. It may take time but we've made quite a bit of progress and to attack us for those mistakes when we've made such progress is just unconsciousnable, but the Left has no conscience when it comes to destroying america.
Bill O Reilly just came out with a new book on the Salem witch trials and I think I'm going to try to read it if I can get it through the Services for the Blind audio books program. I've heard more than one interview with him on the radio talk shows about the book but on one of them he called the Puritans a fanatic sect and I bridles. No, the Puritans wer enot fantasitcs. The Puritans, like MAGA, were attempting to recover the lost truths of Christianity after a milennium of pagan distortions in the Roman Church and the Anglican Church. The term was used against them by their enemires but it reflects their concern to return the church to its pure form without all the pagan accretions, superstitions, totalitarianism and all the resto of ti. No fanaticism at all. And in keeping with this observation of similarity I'm making, I'd say the fanaticism is on the side of the pagan papaostasy although fanaticism is probably not the right word. Not fanaticms but power mad tyranny.
Today's Reformed churches take much inspiration from the Puritan writers of England, they are highly revered theologians.
there is another strand to this simnilarity I'm discovering as I listen to the audio version of Alexis DeToqueville's Democracy in America which I found at You tube this morning. Wonderful stuff. How I wish this had been required reading for us in school, even high schoo.ll but certainly college, but in the sixties they took away the courses in American instittuionas and western civilixation under the onslaught of leftist insanity and antiAmericanism. DeTuoqueville makes it clear that Puritanism was not just a powerfujlly Christian relgionous influence but also a poltiical movement toward democracy and republicanism. He seems the planting of thte Puritans in New England as the foundation for both democracy and republicanism in the Constitutional governemtn that eventually united the nation.
and that's what MAGA would restrore against all the distortions =bby the Left.
