A
peculiar assortment of radicals descended on Washington, D.C. to disrupt
the inauguration of President-Elect Donald Trump. His platform of
“America First” reforms appeals to a large segment of
Americans forgotten over the last eight years: those who believe in
free markets, meritocracy, the rule of law, American exceptionalism,
a strong national defense, a foreign policy that advances American
interests, and border security. In short, those who love their country
and wish to restore its constitutional limits on power and protections
for individual freedom of choice are increasingly a minority, a minority
embraced by Donald Trump.
Those
anathema to America’s patriots form a diverse array of protestors
who aim to tear down business and government or seek government ownership
of and control over all things private, silence all with whom they
disagree favoring censorship over freedom of speech, and obtain special
privileges and government handouts at the expense of those who earn
a living. Those protestors were well represented at the inauguration
but well contained to minimize their propensity for violence and destruction.
In
the end, the protests staged by the radicals have a greater effect
on their opponents than on those who sympathize with their cause.
For the forgotten Americans remembered by Trump, the radical protestors
are proof of the necessity of the President’s reforms, of the
unwise deviation of the Obama years which gave license to these radicals
and increased their number and influence. For others, they are a stern
reminder of how low American can devolve into an abyss of mediocrity
when it departs from its constitutional moorings and embraces European
style governments, administrative rule, and managed economies. Very
few thinking Americans find inarticulate rants and random acts of
violence laudable or persuasive.
Among
the groups protesting President Trump were anarchists who aim to destroy
private property, bring down government, and create mayhem for no
apparent reason beyond mindless discontent. Then there are Nihilists
who 
eschew
all morality and religion, apparently believing that loud complaints
and tantrums from a spoiled generation can beget the same response
from government that came from their doting parents: acquisition of
property without the need to pay for it, misbehavior without the need
to take responsibility for it. Then there are the new racists, the
Black Lives Matter protestors and those of like ilk, who believe racism
exists in everyone, even in Blacks who pledge allegiance to the United
States, and who think everyone and every institution in our society
a product of racism and irredeemable.

Unlike
Martin Luther King who had a dream of interracial harmony, they have
a dream of racial separatism, much like the early Malcom X, wherein
they endorse attacks on public and private institutions, from the
police to retail establishments. Communists and socialists also partake
in the protests.
Unlike
the anarchists, nihilists, and racists, they seek to use government
to gain ever greater control over markets and to redistribute the
wealth of the successful to those who are not, thus establishing universal
mediocrity.
They, like Obama, are apologists for America, who believe the nation an oppressor, who believe America’s enemies and those who wish to do the nation harm need to be embraced, trusted, and invited to live among us, and who shed far more tears for those they mistakenly think America has “oppressed” than they do for the brave men and women who serve our country and defend it against evil every day: law enforcement, the military, and the intelligence services.

The
anarchists, nihilists, racists, communists, and fellow travelers harbor
a perennial pessimism that has failed throughout history to win out
against the positivism and uplifting power of freedom and free enterprise.
They are here to condemn but offer no workable alternatives. They
are here to protest what they do not like about America, not to celebrate
American achievements.
They
repulse even those with whom they more closely associate because negativity
and contempt are the elements of defeatism, not the building blocks
of success and persuasion. They drive away; they do not attract. And
yet it is these losers in society who cannot lead that the present
Democratic Party has embraced and reflects. Consequently, during the
confirmation hearings liberal Democrats who reflect this discontent
and lack the ability to articulate a competing vision of success relied
on all manner of scurrilous attacks, innuendo, and insinuations to
call into question people of great talent, achievement, and intelligence—but
to no avail.
In
a narrow escape from the corruption and decline into the trash heap
of history that Hillary Clinton would have brought with her to the
White House, less than a majority of voters nationwide but a majority
of the electoral college rose to save the nation for one more day,
rejecting continuation of the failed Obama presidency.
President
Trump is fast making good on his pledges to bring back American greatness
by restoring a vibrant free enterprise economy, reducing individual
and corporate taxes, revitalizing America’s military, re-establishing
strong ties with Israel and our allies, abrogating Obama’s unilateral
ties to, fawning over, and cowing to Iran and our enemies, attacking
Radical Islamic terrorism around the world, building new defenses
against invasion of America by Radical Islamists, and restoring respect
for law enforcement. We are indeed fortunate. Those of us who love
our country should be very grateful but on our guard with an eye toward
achieving even greater gains in the 2018 mid-term elections.
