JUST THE WAY IT IS by Sloan Oliver

We each have unique battlefield to save U.S.
"W" A ‘▼’estern
% J\ / Civilization,
\j \I to include the
▼ ▼ United States,
is engaged in a cultural and
political war. In America, the
Leftist Dems are fighting to
destroy the Constitution, de
stroy our culture and destroy
even our history. Conserva
tives are fighting to
preserve the Republic,
as it was founded,
and our culture, as it
has developed. The
Dems seek to usher
in Socialism (a kinder
version of Com
munism, or
so were told)
and lord over
every aspect
to assemble and petition the
government, freedom to bear
arms, freedom to confront
our accusers, to remain silent,
to be judged by a jury of
peers, and freedom FROM
government- are some of the
prizes being fought for. Make
no mistake; every one of us
is in this war - you’re either
for those freedoms
or you’re trying
to destroy those
freedoms.
If we learned
nothing else over
the past two and a
half years of Covid
lunacy it’s that
in (7\ Democrats
WM-G®/A C- CuUT'V h ave gone full
scale authoritar-
of society - complete control
of all levels of government,
control of schools, the media,
universities, industry, the
military and even control
over you and your fam
ily. Their tactic is “the end
justifies the means”; meaning
Dems will use any means
necessary, legal or illegal, to
bring about the changes they
desire. Hypocrisy, complete
lies, false accusations, deny
ing the truth, and silencing
opponents are just some of
the means they use. Moder
ate Dems are no more. Long
gone are the Trumans, the
JFKs, the Tip Oneils, or
even the Walter Mondales -
Democrats who you might
not have agreed with but who
loved the country and actu
ally put America first.
Battling the Dems are Con
servatives who are weakly
supported by milquetoast
Republicans. Every Conser
vative MUST realize what’s at
stake, simply put - EVERY
THING. The nation’s future
is up for grabs. Our children
and grandchildren’s future
ways of life are being fought
for. The freedoms that God
gave us and we’re blessed to
enjoy - freedom to worship as
we desire, freedom to openly
speak our minds, freedom
ian - forcibly closed busi
nesses (your business is not
essential), forced churches
to close, forcibly closed
schools, forced your chil
dren to mask (against your
will), forced you to inject an
experimental drug into your
body (get vaxed or get fired),
demanded you produce vac
cination papers (or be denied
entry to businesses), and lied
to us about all aspects of the
pandemic (the vaccine will
prevent the spread of Covid).
The Dems implemented
those Gestapo-like measures
while using George Floyd’s
death as a pretext to destroy
cities by allowing their politi
cal Brown Shirts (BLM and
Antifa) to riot for months on
end while screaming “defund
the police.” If the Covid crazi
ness and riots weren’t enough,
social media (Twitter,
Facebook, Instagram), news
media (network news, CNN,
NY Times, etc.), and govern
ment agencies enforced the
Dems edicts and silenced all
who disagreed. (Trump was
silenced and the DOJ is lock
ing up opposition.)
When I was in the Army, I
relied on my battle buddy in
the next foxhole over to fight
the enemy to his immediate
front, while I did the same in
my sector; thus we mutually
supported one another. It
must be the same with this
political war. We must engage
the opposition, and we must
rely on our ideological battle
buddies - in the next town,
county, and state over to fight
the enemy on their battle
fields. We each have a unique
battlefield - my battlefield is
rural Georgia, my sister’s is
North Carolina, my brother’s
is up in Wisconsin, and a
cousin’s is out in California.
Just like my buddy in the next
foxhole over, only by mutual
support can we protect (and
defend) one another and de
feat our opponents. We must
have faith that those in the
next city, county and state are
fighting the opposition with
all the resources and diligence
as are you on your battlefield.
In this fight, we can gain
insight from past enemies
such as the North Vietnamese
and the Taliban; two oppo
nents who lost every battle
but won the war. How? By te
nacity and perseverance. Yes,
well lose battles but not all
of them. Trump (2016), De
Santis (2018), and the Dobbs
v. Jackson Supreme Court
decision (2022) are examples
of battles recently won. Battles
will continue to be lost but we
cannot lose the war.
You’re just a single voter
out in the hinterlands, what
can you do? Dems and fel
low Leftists think they’re the
majority. Why? Because most
on our side remain silent. Too
few speak up. First, realize
you’re not alone. Tens of mil
lions share our ideology. Let
your leftist siblings, neighbors
and friends know that their
ideology is wrong, and most
thinking people disagree with
them. How? Stop being afraid
of “offending” someone and
start being vocal - always and
everywhere; use social media,
lawn signs, letters to the edi
tor or in private conversations
- speak up. Never let a false
accusation or false comment
such as “Republicans are
racist” go unchallenged. A
simple “I disagree with you”
is a start. Then, go further and
challenge them by asking,
“Why do you say that?” or ask
for proof of their accusation.
You’ll find they never answer
because they have none. They
simply regurgitate the Dems
talking points, without any
thought.
Second and most impor
tant - Vote during every elec
tion whether it be a primary,
general, special or runoff.
Georgia has Senators War-
nock and Ossoff for that exact
reason. Over 300,000 Re
publicans, who voted in the
November 2020 election, did
not vote in Georgia’s January
2021 runoff election. Yes, you
may have to hold your nose
and vote for the Republican
but never vote for a Demo
crat for any office. Don’t tell
me that Dems are reason
able and support American
values. They don’t. Every
Dem is ideologically identical;
none of them disagree with
even the most outlandish
positions. Not one Dem has
spoken against the lunacy
of destroying the petroleum
industry; and not one Dem
condemns grooming chil
dren, as young as 5-years old,
to be transgenders. So, vote at
every election, and never vote
for a Democrat.
Final Thought: If you have
a plumbing backup and your
house starts filling with sew
age, do you raise the ceilings
or pump out the crap? Your
choice is coming on Nov. 8.
