Beliefs matter, and ideas have consequences. The fundamental assumptions you hold will dictate every action in every area of your life. When a person is in a position of great power or influence, these fundamental assumptions project power across a huge swath of humanity and history.

Donald Trump is not entirely the problem, but it is the most basic flaw in American politics and democracy in general. That flaw is the belief that the majority cannot be wrong. Need proof? Consider the results of the 2008 election where the majority gave us one: Barack Obama.

Hitler chose to live for his own selfish will and promote his selfish will. With this choice that Hitler made in mind, it brings up the choice for all of us as we live out our lives.

Every single day, the mainstream media bombards us with subtle messages that make it clear what is “appropriate” and what is “inappropriate,” and most Americans quietly fall in line with this unwritten speech code.

If what passes for art and entertainment is a true reflection of where we are as a culture, is it a wonder the times are becoming so bleak? Regrettably, the graphic content that often captures our attention speaks to us on a very primal and depraved level.

Last week, we saw the face of another Judas betraying the American people as Paul Ryan not only passed a $1 trillion omnibus bill fully funding Barack Obama’s illegal Muslim immigration plans. Paul Ryan stated, “The job of U.S. lawmakers is to put yourself in shoes of foreign citizens.”

As has always been the case for Americans, the new year is a time for setting new goals, seeking restoration and renewal, shedding harmful habits, and resolving to do better in the future. Here are some resolutions that our nation would do well to adopt for 2016.

The social fabric that binds America together as one has always been fragile, and to complete the fundamental transformation that Obama strives to achieve, it must be torn asunder from top to bottom in a wholesale surrender of the current rule of law to another set of laws composed not through consent, compromise and agreement, but instead through forced acquiescence.

In 2008 and 2012 it was said that the MSM had latched on to their liberal favorite so much that it seemed they were part of the Obama administration. They were the arm of Obama’s policy and the extension of the Obama White House. It was an argument that was hard to counter.

100% of black people who weren’t acting like a thug today did NOT get shot by the police. 100% of black people who live according to the accepted standards of behavior developed by every human society known to man – you know, don’t beat people up, or physically intimidate them; don’t steal from them; don’t threaten them with violence; don’t ignore the basic, accepted rules of society like showing respect for the rights of others, etc. – never get shot by the police.
