Dwain Northey (Gen X)

We live in a world of BIG TALKERs, but their actions don’t seem to add up to the rhetoric. One blaring example is the Freedom Caucus that continues to cry freedom while taking right away from those they pretend to represent. Most recently the Freedom Caucus held the debt ceiling hostage nearing causing a National default if they didn’t get what they wanted. What did they want you may ask, well mostly they wanted all or most of the infrastructure funding stopped because they are unhappy that the Democrats passed the bill during the last session of congress. None of them seemed to understand that the debt ceiling isn’t about future spending, it is about spending that has already happened. They also refuse to acknowledge that 25% of the debt they the nation has was accrued during 45s time in office… yes nearly 250 years of national debt and one quarter of it belongs to the Republicans and Trump form 2017-2021.

That faction of the GOP aren’t the only people in this country that aren’t providing the action that their words specify.  Florida Governor DeSantis proclaims that his state is the freest state in the Union, yet he has banned books, LGTBQ+ events, drag show, transgender treatment for minors with gender dysphoria, teachers from even mentioning anything about gender all the way till 12^th grade, he has also banned Black studies in primary school and universities base on his distorted definition of Critical Race Theory. That really doesn’t seem like it is free to me. He has also gone to war, in a legal sense, with Disney because they had the audacity to disagree with his ‘don’t say gay’ law.

People that have co-opted the moniker of Patriot but then attack the very government that they proclaim to hold so dear… again ACTIONS not words show everyone who you really are. Those that proclaim they are for LIBERTY and even use the word in the title of their groups but continually step on the right of others… ACTIONS not words.

I want ACTION and so far the only group that are consistently working for the Nation and its people is getting drowned out by the words of that non-actors. It is time to take back the words that define what we stand for FREEDOM, LIBERTY, PATRIOT from those that use them but don’t understand the ACTION necessary to keep them.

Thank you for reading and I hope you take ACTION.
