OUR BANANA REPUBLIC

In our “Banana Republic,” top level progressive political appointees embedded in federal agencies lie under oath with impunity. The “Deplorable Class” is mad.

We the People, at least those of us who are proud members of the “Deplorable Class,” are not proud that we live in the twenty first century “Banana Republic” that is the United States of America. In our “Banana Republic,” wealthy political elites in the donor class, top level progressive political appointees embedded by previous administrations in the Justice Department, State Department, and intelligence agencies, other federal agencies and former progressive Cabinet Secretaries, lie under oath without real consequences. Conversely, conservative generals, and others, who oppose the progressive political agenda, are charged for the same “crimes” that favored elites commit with impunity. This is the reality of our “Banana Republic.” We the People in the “Deplorable Class” are getting mad.

The Clintons and the Clinton Foundation should be investigated and possibly prosecuted for Benghazi, Hillary’s Emails, Uranium One, and the manner that money passed through the Clinton Foundation? Those who say these issues should not be further investigated because that would turn us into a Banana Republic that prosecutes political opponents forget another important characteristic of Banana Republics. A third world Banana Republic rarely prosecutes its political elites for their crimes. In many third world countries the political elites, wealthy donor class, and in many cases cartel kingpins, are above the law. Another worthy question should be asked regarding criminal progressive elites, political insiders, and the donor class. If we fail to investigate and prosecute their activities, are we acting like a third world Banana Republic? We the People in the “Deplorable Class” are getting mad.

The United States of America is a country of laws. We claim that we provide equal justice under the law. We claim that the law is blind regarding the status of all persons. What are our leaders telling We the People about our nation if the actions of our leaders convey a different message regarding the law? The current sexual harassment and sexual assault revelations where entertainment, news media, business, and political leaders are actually being held accountable for their actions is encouraging. However, in many instances the media is proclaiming a new precedent in this area, guilty when accused because women never lie about such things, or do they. We must not forget about Duke Lacrosse or the University of Virginia fraternity Rolling Stone case. This trend also smacks of the characteristics of a Banana Republic.

In my opinion, no matter what happens regarding the Clintons, one side or the other, the left or the right will say we would be acting like a third world, Banana Republic. That claim and the opinion of pundits and talking heads would be irrelevant. The critical questions are these. Are we a nation of laws that are blind to last names, wealth, power, political affiliation, or the previous office held by a spouse? Is there one set of laws for the Clintons, the political class, and the wealthy and another standard for the rest of us? Does a failed attempt at election to the Presidency or any other political office exempt anyone from criminal investigation or prosecution? If that is the case, every criminal would run for political office!

If that is the case, we truly live in a Banana Republic!

THE“DEPLORABLE CLASS,” WHO ARE WE?

A man and woman with two children on the bed.
The Deplorable Class includes Roman Catholics and Protestants who hold traditional values. We are white, African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and other minorities.

The groups potentially falling into the left’s Deplorable Class may surprise some in the United States. Among the Christians, who hold the Biblical view of marriage and the family as husband and wife and their children, are tens of millions of African-American and Hispanic Biblical Christians. Additionally, tens of millions of Roman Catholics in the United States, many of whom are Hispanics, also believe that the Bible teaches that marriage is between a man and a woman. According to the left, this view of marriage is homophobic. The Christian homophobes who believe that marriage is between one man and one woman are in the “Deplorable class.” As a consequence, the left’s Deplorable Class includes Roman Catholics and Protestants. We are white, African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and other minorities. This group also opposes abortion and understand the gender is genetic not aspiration.

Xenophobes are another group in the left’s “Deplorable Class” They are deplorable simply because they want secure borders, an end to illegal immigration, assurance that everyone employed in the United States is legal, assurance that visas are not abused, and an immigration plan that is not harmful to our citizens. Islamophobs are also in the left’s Deplorable Class because they want the government to insure, by a process that requires verified documentation, that Islamic terrorists, from any group, are unable to infiltrate immigrant or refugee populations and attack the United States homeland. People who hold the Biblical view that life begins at conception and oppose abortion are part of the war on women and sexists. These United States citizens are also part of the left’s Deplorable Class. Obviously, Biblical Christians hold many views deemed deplorable by the left.

In the “Deplorable Class,” we believe that we should  protect our nation against invaders who use our porous boarders and weak immigration laws to gain illegal access to the nation. Most seek a better life, but some are criminals or want to subvert our culture both peacefully or as violent terrorists. We also understand the the United States is an essential force for good in the world. This requires a strong military and diplomatic corp that promotes world peace through our strength.

In the eyes of Christophobes like Hillary Clinton, liberals, and progressives on the Left; if you hold any of the views above, you are part of their Basket of Deplorables. You are among the tens of millions of United States citizens who are part of the left’s despised Deplorable Class.
