THE CONSERVATIVE VIEW

THE LAND OF FREE STUFF

 

As I watch the news about the so-called caravan of people trekking through Mexico heading for our southern border, I am reminded of a quote about armies and the needs that they have in order to fight. I have often heard that an army fights on its stomach; if the troops are not fed an adequate diet, they are not an effective fighting force. It is a fact of nature that we humans cannot survive without food and water. If you listen to the mainstream media they would have you believe that these poor migrants packed a lunch basket and decided to head to the good ole USA. The American people are being fed the biggest serving of horse manure on this issue I have ever seen.

 

Various individuals, including our Vice President, have named some groups that they feel are funding this stunt; I do agree that someone, somewhere, is funneling resources to these so called refugees in order to influence our political process in the upcoming midterm elections. For over two years we have heard the constant drumbeat from the left claiming that President Trump colluded with the Russians. I might note that there has been no concrete proof to that allegation; I only wish there was as much concern about this caravan situation. In my opinion the mainstream media is totally worthless, they would rather go on some Russian witch hunt instead of trying to find out who is behind the caravan. Our Mexican neighbors to the south are also worthless, they are allowing trespassing through their country and allowing them to make an attempt to bum rush the American border.  

 

Our nation is supposed to be a nation of law and not anarchy; whenever we cannot control our border we no longer have a country. The people in the caravan are an invading force using children as human shields. Anyone who does not respect our laws and sovereignty are not good candidates to become citizens of our nation. Instead of looking at America as the land of the free, they have perverted it to be the land of free stuff. President Trump, like all presidents, has sworn to protect the United States; the people behind this caravan know if some of the so called migrants will be injured or killed there will be a vicious attack upon our president for doing his job. From past experience I have seen how the mainstream media acts like a bunch of sharks that smell blood in the water; if our country is to survive we Americans must get our heads out of the sand and stop allowing ourselves to be manipulated by the media.

 

Folks, we are facing nothing short of an invasion by people who do not share our beliefs and values. If these people respected our laws there are several US consulates located within Mexico where they could apply for asylum. One thing about this caravan ploy, we can see who our friends are and who our enemy is. Mexico could do a whole lot more to stop an invading force headed for our southern border. The open border crowd is ignoring the well being of American citizens and the sovereignty of the United States. All they are accomplishing is emboldening lawless behavior which we should not have to deal with. These people need a history lesson about what our country is all about; we were never meant to be the land of free stuff, but we are the land of the free.
