No Kings and Hate America?

By Dennis Brent Melby

Lots of folks have asked about the so called "No Kings" movement and why the Republicans, moderates and conservative Democrats don't counter protest one-for-one at every location. 

The so-called movement, backed by groups as divergent as local deep blue governments, the Communist Workers of America, The League of Women Voters, CASA's more illegals movement and with far-left and George Soros funding, seek to overthrow the elected government and return to the days of full Left Wing Democrat and even Socialist control of every phase of government, from the White House to State, County and City governments. They use intimidating tactics, rallies, signs and crowds. 

That's not what we do. We win with ideas, we win with values, and we win at the ballot box. In 2024 we reminded folks how bad things had gotten - and they resoundingly returned the President for another term, took control of the Senate and the House, and passed legislation and policies that are best for the majority of hard working, legal and patriot Americans. Peace is breaking out, criminals are being sent back to their countries, Bidenomics food and gas prices are coming down and we're standing up to the bullies who want to turn back the clock. It ain't easy but we're making it, and it's only October.

To match violence in the streets would be unthinkable. Political assassinations are unthinkable, but a fringe of the electorate finds them acceptable. Massive rallies to intimidate ICE and local police, with gun shots, rocks and thuggery is not the way to improve our country. The Police deserve our support, not violence and threatening behavior against themselves and their families. And politicians - from either party - don't deserve their homes being torched or their families being targeted, shot and bullied. It's not the American way. 

Next 4th of July we'll ALL celebrate NO KINGS DAY, when 250 years ago we were the first country to throw off the Monarchs and Controlling Politicians of the King to do it the American way, and our Party went even farther almost 100 years after that and threw off slavery and racism - to set a course for the Greatest Country on Earth. God Bless the USA, and thank you, born here or legally moved here, for being a great American.
