FB conversation on Political parties, The President, our History and Socialism

I didn't correct the grammar of the other individual's post. 

In a Facebook discussion where the democratic politicians are to blame for the problems in our state.

Him:

Ok.......I like to keep things simple, we have a free democracy in place for us as voters, the right to choose, dont get me wrong, fuck this abortion bullshit....if our democracy is taken away would it eliminate the Democrats, liberals and socialists?..NO!, right......serrio serrio we have a president that stands with our enemies, this is a slap to our men and women who are and have served to protect this country, so in other words, so what is u served, those enemies are the president's best and only friends. 
This is who we are, we are not Republicans, Democrats, liberals, socialists,ect.. we are Americans who are free, free to choose, that's why we are a Great and powerful country, I not dogging Republicans, they are all politicians, and we both know how bad it can get, it is MY opinion Trump would be making these decisions regardless of what political party he is. Oh yeah, your right, so before the 1920s the Republicans have been trying to take are Democratic rights!!! That's what you ment..... right.

Simple is nice but unfortunately, things are rarely simple.

We are not a democracy. We are a constitutional republic. We do get to vote for our representatives, city counselors and State officials but on the national level we are not a democracy. If we eliminated our form of government, then we would start to see more corruption and more issues. There would be one party, the one that is in control.

I don’t know why you say that our president stands with our enemies. They are finding that it was the Democrats, not Trump that colluded with Russia. Trump has not given any ground to Mexico, China, Iran, the middle east or Europe. Hillary colluded with Russia and some from the middle east. Hillary has deep ties to both. Obama sided with Muslims and Muslim nations during his presidency. I don’t know where you get that he stands with our enemies. Definitely not any nation I fought against. Most of the veterans (combat soldiers not POGs) that I served with support President Trump because of his America first stance.

We are Americans and it breaks my heart to see our country so divided. This division started during the G.W. Bush administration as people got tired of the war. It was worsened in the Obama administration as we continued to remove God from our nation, as racism was encouraged, not white against minorities but everyone against everyone else especially whites and the small amount of white racism that did exist was magnified and blown way out of proportion. Conservative (meaning traditional morals, virtues, patriotism, and belief in liberty with the constitution as the law of the land, equality, hard work, and personal responsibility) views are called racist and bigoted. They are condemned as oppressive while the murder of unborn children is praised as a virtuous choice. The nation is divided and the politicians and those behind them are encouraging this behavior. I fear the consequences of this crisis.

Party doesn’t matter. What matters is life and liberty. We are in a hole that we continue to dig in and may have past the point that we can ever get out without drastic measures. This brings me sorrow. I don’t fear it but it does make me sad.

As far as history goes.

The Republican party is the party that brought the abolition of slavery, brought women’s suffrage, brought an end to Jim Crow laws, and supported civil rights.

Here is a link with some of the information on the socialist movement.

Prior to the 1920s Republicans worked toward equal rights while the Democrat party still worked to keep certain groups under heel. Now they, the Left, works toward socialism – The equal sharing of misery, Winston Churchill.

The problem today is that people want the freedom to pursue whatever pleasures their hearts desire without having to pay for them and without any consequences. They want all of the authority with no responsibility. This is where Republicans have failed. They started implementing moral laws, or try to, to combat the issue of personal responsibility. We, as a nation, started saying that it was the Government’s responsibility to keep us safe from our own personal choices. We said that the government should be our babysitter. In an effort to provide security and safety we stopped demanding and expecting people to take personal responsibility. Now we are snowballing into a destructive force of government control. “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”- Ben Franklin.

I don’t think it is a party problem. They are all a problem. This is a Godless problem, a moral problem, an education problem, a problem of virtue or lack of them, a lack of personal responsibility problem, a lack of wisdom and understanding problem, and a problem of laziness and narcissism.

It is not simple. It should be though.
