The Best Is Yet to Come ~ Trump 2020 Video

I found this great video on YouTube.com, through a Twitter account, known as Joe M. (@StormIsUponUs). Yes, you could spend a whole day going through his tweets! They are phenomenal. Well, you will see why I posted this video here today, very easily. For sure. Difficulty level = Zip, zero, nada. It is because I love America, and that this video instills all the values I am trying to get out there on this Time2Escape blog. American exceptionalism. Capitalism, which drives competition, our thriving economy, and which keeps people working. In the Trump years, it is and will be the Golden Age of our prosperity, and we are just getting started!

Make your own choice... Are you going to go with the dry old drivel of the lunatic Left, and choose a system of economics - Socialism/Communism - that is responsible for millions of deaths and absolute tyranny? Or, maybe, the right choice, where you are free to design your destiny as you see fit?

The United States: An oppressive hellhole? ~ By Patrice Lewis

Commentary from WorldNetDaily

By Patrice Lewis Posted: January 09, 2010 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2010 While Americans struggle with their day-to-day activities – working, raising families, coping with a bad economy, worrying about the future – a little-noticed but pervasive influence has invaded our hallowed institutions and poisoned the wells of our future. No, for once I'm not talking about the current administration's lunatic policies. I'm referring to institutes of higher learning. It has recently come to light that the University of Minnesota attempted to pass a policy requiring its teacher applicants to believe in various politically correct doctrines before they are granted admission. Applicants would be screened for their political and ideological views. Those with incorrect values and opinions would be "re-mediated," and degrees would be withheld from those who resist "re-education." And the University of Delaware's Office of Residential Life was caught requiring students to participant in a program that taught "all whites are racist." Graduates from these schools are then unleashed upon society – in the case of the University of Minnesota, into public school classrooms – to spread their message on the evils of "white privilege," the "myth of meritocracy," the "history of white racism" and the dangers of adopting "white, middle-class, Christian meanings and values." It seems that these universities are trying their best to convince students that this country is "an oppressive hellhole: racist, sexist and homophobic," in the words of Minneapolis Star-Tribune columnist Katherine Kersten. Translation: America sucks, and we're going to brainwash students into agreeing that America sucks. Hooray! Welcome to the Oppressive Hellhole of America. This message, naturally, is reinforced by Hollywood, which has teamed up with educators to air a series of History Channel programs that "rail against white oppressors, the free market and the military." In other words, leftists push to re-write history by applying their progressive, politically correct standards to the events of 200 years ago. It baffles me how people can so easily dismiss our history and tradition of opportunity with such contempt. Yes, of course we've had dark spots in our nation's past, but we're one of the few countries that have acknowledged those errors and attempted to correct and rectify them. Don't you find it amazing that those individuals who are the most privileged – educated, intelligent, influential, successful and (in the case of Hollywood) wealthy and famous – are the quickest to criticize the very country that afforded them the opportunities to use their gifts and get where they are today? These are the people that utilized the capitalist system to achieve their success. There is no government mandate that we must buy their product, see their movie, attend their concert or enroll in their universities. These people (who are so disgusted with America) have ironically made their mark in the world using the free-market principles and the constitutional freedoms they are guaranteed – the same principles they denigrate as evil. If we are such an oppressive hellhole, I challenge anyone – anyone at all – to explain to me how it is that penniless immigrants can come to this country with nothing more than the shirts on their backs, and within a decade become citizens, business owners, homeowners and begin putting their children through college without the use of social services or welfare. Opportunities in this country are open to everyone who works hard, lives frugally and puts their priorities in the right place. My immigrant grandparents did this. My three foreign-born sisters-in-law and their families did this. My husband and I did this. My ghetto-born friend in college did this (he's now a brain surgeon). I assume university educators and Hollywood stars have done this, too. People can't do these things in "oppressive hellholes." READ FULL STORY >

Celebs to kids: America stinks!

From WorldNetDaily

'55 rich white men drafted Constitution to protect their class – slaveholders' By Drew Zahn Posted: December 14, 2009 ~ 8:49 pm Eastern © 2009 WorldNetDaily Hollywood celebrities and education gurus have teamed together to distribute to schools across the country a dramatic new curriculum that casts American history as an epic march of victims seeking to shrug off the shackles of the warmongering, racist, capitalist, imperialist United States. The History Channel's airing of the "The People Speak" last night marks the public coming-out party of a movement that has been in place since last year to teach America's school children a "social justice" brand of history that rails against war, oppression, capitalism and popular patriotism. The television special featuring performances by Matt Damon, Benjamin Bratt, Marisa Tomei, Don Cheadle, Bruce Springsteen and others condemns the nation's past of oppression by the wealthy, powerful and imperialist and instead trumpets the voices of America's labor unions, minorities and protesters of various stripes. The accompanying curriculum guide for schools that show "The People Speak" in classrooms, for example, highlights an 1852 reading from abolitionist Frederick Douglass:

What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciation of tyrants brass fronted impudence; your shout of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy – a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of the United States, at this very hour.

The program and discussion guide is the most ambitious resource among many offered to America's schools by the Zinn Education Project, a collaboration of Rethinking Schools and Teaching for Change, as part of a push to encourage history instruction based on educator Howard Zinn's 1980 tome exposing the abuses of America's past, "A People's History of the United States." The project states its goal is to "introduce students to a more accurate, complex and engaging understanding of United States history than is found in traditional textbooks and curricula. … Zinn's 'A People's History of the United States' emphasizes the role of working people, women, people of color and organized social movements in shaping history. Students learn that history is made not by a few heroic individuals, but instead by people's choices and actions, thereby also learning that their own choices and actions matter."
