America has numerous special interest groups such as Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, athletes, homosexuals, normal people, unions, numerous religious groups, liberals, conservatives, and on and on and on. Each has a right to tout their successes, complaints, ambitions, etc. And all sane, honest, thoughtful people will agree that each group has an equal right to promote his or her own group. Of course, such promotions will have various degrees of success.

It would be shocking if a Hispanic did not think his culture was superior to all others. After all, that thought does not harm those in other groups who disagree with him. Blacks should be proud of their culture and shout their prowess in athletics, entertainment, and fashion except for the silly turnaround caps and trousers falling below the 38th parallel.

Well, I am a white male though I had nothing to do with it. Still, I am honored to be white and male although I can’t legitimately boast about it. I have also been ashamed many times of strong, and evil or stupid men, but alas, all groups have such despicable jerks.

I think it’s time to highlight the great achievements of strong males since they have been obscured, neglected, and denigrated lately by lesser men. Pseudo-intellectuals like using the term dead white males.

June is the special month for the Homosexual Lobby and the media constantly promotes their parades, special events, etc., and they have that right although I think it should be a month of shame instead of pride. But then, shame for sexual immorality is as old-fashioned as the automobile crank, ladies’ corsets, white wall tires, and the buggy whip.

Personal shame for personal conduct is as infrequent as white dinosaurs in Kentucky.

God prophesied this day in Jeremiah 6:15, “Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.”

A person will not be ashamed unless there is a tried and true standard that reveals his failure. The Standard is still there; however, few are willing to recognize it. It is so stifling, so restricting such as “thou shall not commit adultery,” “thou shalt not lie,” and the like.

In our day, it is considered quaint to always tell the truth and always keep your word.

I remember the day when all people were ashamed if it became known they were living in adultery, had a baby out of wedlock, or were attracted to young girls. Moreover, everyone was horrified if someone sexually preferred his or her own gender! And no one boasted about such aberration and rebellion against community (and biblical) standards.

Alas, those days are gone and almost forgotten.

By the way, how do you like this new, liberal, permissive, even perverted lifestyle that has been inculcated in our people? Are Americans happier, safer, kinder, and more prosperous and productive than before our wokeness?

It seems no one is horrified or ashamed of anything today. Abnormality is shouted from the rooftops and public parades. Naked bodies with bouncing boobs and protruding members have been paraded all over America during June so now it is time for normalcy to parade—the Strong Aggressive Male!

July is Strong Aggressive Male month (SAM), a time of reflection on the accomplishments of strong males. Although if the radicals on the left are awake and not in a drunken or drug-induced stupor, they will spit, sputter, scream, and squall if any recognition is given to the greatest men in history. I would think any person who has benefited from past accomplishments would be willing to take a few minutes to recall, recognize, and even reverence great successes no matter who was responsible.

Therefore, speak up with justified pride since SAMs have given the world freedom, free enterprise, and the highest standard of living in world history.

I see no reason to reach back to antiquity to provide detail of great, strong, aggressive males like Noah whose commitment saved the human race. Additionally, Moses delivered the Ten Commandments to mankind, the foundation for all laws that provided stability, safety, and security to governments smart enough to follow them. So, while giving credit to such men, I will deal with modern strong aggressive males.

Sam will be my representative of strong, aggressive males. He is married to Sue who is submissive, unique, and equal—although with different strengths, uniqueness, and not equal in function to her husband, Sam. There is little doubt that many women possess far more desirable attributes than most men. What they don’t have is physical strength, especially in their upper bodies nor are they as competitive or aggressive. They don’t need to be if they fulfill God’s purposes for them.

However, in recent months it seems a vile virus has infected the minds of people, especially people who lean left, to resent any suggestion that men are men and women are women. Frankly, I like it much better that way. We are told that men have periods, get pregnant, have babies, and are as efficient and successful in the home as any woman.

What a ludicrous, dangerous, and insidious mental virus! While men and women are equal before God and man, they function differently to produce a happy, successful, self-perpetuating society. Women are usually lighter, shorter, much more attractive, and less hairy than men and have a vagina. Men are bigger, stronger, competitive, and more aggressive, and God’s plan has worked well for millennia. Until wokeism infected most everyone.

SAMs in history are insulted, ignored, and indicted by lesser people who could not qualify to shine their shoes or carry their baggage.

On June 15, 1215, some English barons twisted the arm of King John and forced him to sign the Magna Carta, a document declaring that kings had to obey laws like other citizens. Among other things, the charter guaranteed trial by jury and habeas corpus. All the barons were strong, aggressive males. Those men challenged, contested, and changed the concept of all-powerful despots making freedom and prosperity possible for every human on earth.

A strong, male Johann Gutenberg (died 1468) invented the printing press thereby changing the world. He should be a hero to everyone even if he had two heads and was a registered Democrat.

The Industrial Revolution occurred between 1760 and 1840 when the standard of living advanced for the first time in history! With various inventions, work done by hand advanced to work done by machines powered by steam and electricity instead of water and air.

About 1764 James Hargreaves devised a yarn-spinning machine called the spinning jenny that changed and improved millions of lives. That was followed by James Watt’s steam engine and with that, the world changed again. These inventors were SAMs.

Cyrus McCormick invented several machines used to mechanize farming making it quicker and easier and requiring fewer workers. In 1846, Elias Howe’s sewing machine made the production of clothing less expensive. In 1859 Edwin Drake completed the drilling of the first productive oil well in the United States, near Titusville, Pennsylvania.

Charles Babbage (died1871) was the English inventor of the first mechanical computers. Babbage is considered the “father of computers” since his groundbreaking work made possible today’s world.

Michael Faraday (died 1867) was an English scientist who contributed to the development of electricity. Without him, we would be sitting in the dark without heat or air.

Henry Ford (died 1947) pioneered the use of assembly lines and mass production of motor cars, helping most Americans to own transportation.

Alexander Graham Bell developed his telephone in 1882 thereby pulling every American into one big family. The cell phone developed in 1973 completely changed the world similar to the printing press.

In 1879 Thomas Edison introduced the modern age of light when he invented the incandescent lightbulb.

At Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina on December 17, 1903, Orville Wright performed the first successful controlled human flight in history. Interestingly, the Scientific American sneered at the “alleged” flights of the Wright brothers in their January 13, 1906, issue, two years after they had flown their first airplane. Both brothers were strong, aggressive males.

Free enterprise, or the free market, has brought incredible possibilities to people fortunate enough to experience it. It is an economic system where private persons can form companies, buy, and sell competitively in the marketplace with a minimum of government interference. Adam Smith (died 1790) argued for an economic system based on individual self-interest led by an “invisible hand,” which would achieve the greatest good for all.

Soft, complacent males are doing their best to dismantle the Free Enterprise system that made America the most powerful, prosperous, peaceful, and philanthropic nation in the world. They go by the name of Socialist, Democrat, RINO, and moron. A better word is traitor.

After hundreds of years of contributions by various medical personnel, the first successful heart transplant was done by Christian Barnard in Cape Town, South Africa in 1967. The success gave hope to people worldwide, but today transplants are no longer news.

I am proud of strong aggressive males who led us into a world of production and prosperity, the highest standard of living in the world, etc.

Leftists will not respond to this column other than to accuse me of being a hater, bigot, know-nothing, white supremacist, and of course, racist. While doing so, they drool with hatred toward anything Christian.

But then, I have been called worse things by better people.

By the way, all the above SAMs were strong, aggressive, white males! Don’t know how important that is but it is part of SAM’s amazing story.

I hear knees jerking all over the world. Left ones, of course.

“You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.” – John Bunyan

While 35 percent of respondents of the Data for Progress tracking poll believe “some form of Socialism is a good thing, a slightly higher percentage (38 percent) believe Socialism would be a bad thing in the United States. The remaining 27 percent of respondents report no opinion.” That is incredible. Only 38 percent see danger in Socialism! The 27 percent with no opinion will follow the money and freebies since they obviously have no moral, philosophical, or political problem with Socialism. However, British Prime Minister Thatcher understood government freebies saying, “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” Then, it’s all over.

America, we have a problem.

Socialism kills. Demographer Rudolph Rummel estimated the human toll of twentieth-century Socialism to be “about 61 million in the Soviet Union, 78 million in China, and roughly 200 million worldwide.”

Socialism is the preliminary entrée to totalitarian Communism that advocates the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution by the community as a whole, usually through a centralized government. Socialists are less extreme and promise state control of the economy, bringing greater equality to everyone but don’t admit it will be at the expense of personal liberty.

The end result of democratic Socialism always means a bigger government with attending regulation and control. Since Socialism is a welfare government, it always results in high taxation, as seen in Sweden (53%), Norway (38%), Denmark (55%), etc. Most Socialist nations provide a guaranteed income, at least for the unemployed, free education including college, and free national health care with all its attendant problems. But then, nothing is free.

Since government knows best, they take control of the utilities. While Socialists don’t nationalize private businesses, they use regulations to avoid “exploitation” of the consumers. So, Socialists permit private ownership but seek to redistribute the wealth by forcing successful entrepreneurs to pay for all the “free” stuff.

We are told the collective (government) can do a better and more equitable job of providing the peoples’ needs than free enterprise; however, no one has proved that the government is supposed to do that. Most early Americans believed the government’s responsibility is to mint the money and provide for our safety against any enemy and let us take care of almost everything else.

But the era of big government has been with us for a long time. Politicians learned long ago that most people can be bought with the right goodies: cell phones, free rent, food stamps, free health care, guaranteed job, guaranteed minimum wage, chicken in every pot, etc. When hard times arrive, it is even easier to convince the citizens of the value of Socialism as they begin to think that maybe earlier generations were too hardheaded, stubborn, ignorant, etc.

More Americans support socialist goodies but reject Socialism proving they are idiots. They are playing mind games, thinking Socialism is not so bad if it is not called Socialism. But as Shakespeare said, “A rose by any other name is still a rose.” Americans split on whether we should have a free market economy or one that is government-controlled. They have forgotten that government is the great bungler, not the great leader or fixer.

Whatever the kind or degree of Socialism, it always works the same for the average guy: he pays through the nose. The guy on the street is the loser, while the top Socialist honchos run everything from the top. The plan is for everyone to live at the expense of everyone else, but that doesn’t work. The leaders skim the cream off the top, and you end up with skim milk.

That quickly gets sour.

Socialism is welfare, and welfare is Socialism and Socialism is Communism in amateur disguise. Whatever it is called, it is a totalitarian government with a heel on the neck of Americans. Ayn Rand was right when she declared, “The difference between a welfare state and a totalitarian state is a matter of time.”

But it starts with Socialism.

Russia was known as the “United Soviet Socialist Republic”; Germany was controlled by the “National Socialist German Workers’ Party.” The original Communist Party of Cuba formed in the 1920s but changed its name in 1944 to the “Popular Socialist Party” for political purposes—to confuse the voters.

Don’t be misled; Communists have planned for decades to make America an unfree nation beginning with Socialism then naturally morphing into Communism. Communism is simply the natural extension of Socialism. Whether Socialism or Communism, freedom is lost by the individuals for the “collective good.” The people surrendered everything to get a little. The old saying is true: if your government is big enough to give you everything you want, it is big enough to take everything you have.

Communism was developed by Karl Marx, who turned the various classes in Russia against each other. He taught democracy was the enemy of the working class and workers should unite and overthrow the privileged leaders permitting workers to rule. However, the workers ruled nothing and paid subservience to Communist overlords. That’s how it works.

In overthrowing capitalism, the free enterprise principle is lost. The new economy becomes controlled by the state, and industry is owned and managed by the government rather than by private individuals. Prices and wages are set and enforced by the state, and trade unions are forbidden, and banks are owned by the state. This happened under Marx’s leadership in Russia in the Russian Revolution in 1917 when Lenin and then Stalin also cracked down on individual liberty and removed all forms of democracy. Government bureaucrats even demanded production levels in industry and agriculture, even telling farmers what and how much to plant. Personal advancement was almost impossible. After all, everyone has to be equal—in misery, that is.

It would be highly worthwhile to investigate Stalin’s purposefully induced famine in Ukraine in 1932 and 1933 when about 4 million Ukrainians were starved to death. During this scheduled famine, The New York Times ridiculed the possibility of it, picking up a Pulitzer Prize for articles debunking the famine. Even Liberals demanded the Times return the prize, but they refused.

A quick definition of Communism is a loss of personal freedom and a massive amount of regulation, repression, and ruin to homes, churches, schools, industry, and society.

It is shocking that American capitalists, to their eternal shame, love commerce more than they loath Communism. The Chamber of Commerce no longer represents freedom, independence, entrepreneurship, but greedy crony capitalism. A good example is their support of flooding the states with uneducated, unsophisticated, and often un-American aliens to work the farms doing work “that Americans won’t do.” What they should say is “that Americans won’t do for starvation wages.”

But, facing starvation, most men will work to survive. That goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden.

When people have an abnormal desire for free stuff, they are on the slippery slope toward Socialism that often ends to Communism. However, it can branch into Fascism as it did in Germany and Italy. Most Fascists hate Communism, but it doesn’t make much difference to the enslaved people whether the heel on their neck is a Communist or Fascist heel.

Both Hitler and Stalin were tyrants who hated each other and killed many millions of innocent people. While both were called Socialists, Hitler hated Communism. Hitler, like his buddy Mussolini, was a Fascist, but, in the end, whether one lived in Russia, Germany, or Italy, he lived under totalitarianism.

The term “fascism” is derived from the word “fasces,” a bundle of rods about five feet in length containing an ax with the blade projecting, carried before Roman magistrates as an emblem of official power. In ancient Rome, the bodyguards of a magistrate carried fasces. It was adopted by Benito Mussolini to symbolize his Fascist movement. For many years, the fasces appeared on the reverse of the U. S. Mercury dime.

I define Fascism as a political philosophy that exalts a nation and often a race above the individual. It stands for a centralized, repressive government headed by a dogmatic, domineering, and dictatorial leader who usually takes control of various government agencies (especially the media) and controls private businesses. Opposition is usually forcibly suppressed, often beginning with labor unions and making strikes illegal.

Numerous wealthy capitalists have no love for freedom, free enterprise, and entrepreneurship since they have already taken advantage of those concepts to make their pile. They become crony capitalists and are not competent or honest enough to see that Socialism steals while Communism kills.

At this time, corporations are openly meeting and coordinating efforts to produce more “progressive” laws and encouraging government control of businesses—and that is clearly Fascism. Mussolini said, “Fascism should rightly be called corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.” It is impossible to define Fascism to everyone’s satisfaction since it is like nailing jello to the wall.

Bloomberg reported April 11, 2021, on an extraordinary meeting of a group of 100 chief executives and other leaders of major U.S. corporations that “held an hour-long Zoom call on Saturday to discuss ways to push for greater voting access amid new restrictions enacted or pending in Georgia, Texas and other states.” The business leaders decided to promote the progressive agenda especially fighting the GOP’s effort to make voting more responsible. Of course, they use the word restrictive. They want to restrict or limit investment in cities and states that are not cooperative with progressivism. That would seem to make corporations a mirror government.

What a slippery slope!

The point is big business is making a connection with big government, a definite indication of Fascism. Whatever the label, you will have a foot on your face and pay the price if you are a producer. You had better get ready to “share” your hard-earned cash with the losers, and loafers, and the lackeys.

NYC Mayor de Blasio admitted, “I like to say very bluntly, our mission is to redistribute wealth.” He is a known Socialist, but many New Yorkers consider him a Marxist. Whatever, since Democrats have seized control of a once-great nation, de Blasio and Biden are trying to move the wealth from those who have it to those who do not have it.

Hail to the thief!

What’s-her-name Harris is one of the most dangerous politicians to ever press her snout into the public feeding trough. Her incredible statement should shock and anger every American when she says equal outcomes of government programs should be the goal of public policy. That statement makes every Communist in Russia, China, and Cuba stand up and cheer. No sensible person argues that any government program must treat everyone equally, but it is insane, ineffective, and impossible to guarantee equal results. That can’t happen because of the vast differences in people—their ambitions, aptitudes, their abilities; but she demands equal results!

It’s not only young Americans who are dumb as dirt.

Our government cannot refuse certain benefits to individuals because they are female, Hispanic, black, handicapped, uneducated, Muslim, Baptist, etc., since that would be unequal treatment contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment. Neither can any state or federal government promise that participating in a particular college or work program will result in the same income as any other participant.

After all, people have different abilities.

Harris said, “There’s a big difference between equality and equity.” True, but if any government promised definite results, then it would have to treat others unfairly to have the same results for everyone. A government mandate to promote equal results would give the government power to violate individual rights in order to achieve identical social results for all people.

Non-thinking Americans think they can kill the golden goose and still collect golden eggs. If they kill the free enterprise system (the goose), they will destroy the goodies it has produced (the golden eggs). We will end up back in the horse and buggy days, having to pull our own buggy.

And we may end up without a horse or a buggy, with only the buggy whip as a reminder of what we used to have.
