Separating True American Patriots from Pretenders. How 'bout that Convoy?

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2022/03/separating-true-american-patriots-from.html

The Ukrainians are united in a stand for their independence and freedom. The trucker convoy is standing for their own selfishness, fed by lies and conspiracy theories. Ukrainians are accepting rifles, standing together, protecting each other, drawing strength from each other and putting their lives at risk to do so. The trucker convoy supports an unwillingness to consider the safety and well-being of others by doing something as simple as putting on a mask, or getting a little needle stick in the arm.

Ukraine looks to the United States, and to its allies, as a model for the kind of democracy they want to build. We need to show them what that looks like, not taking things for granted as we have done for so long, but demonstrating that our Constitution, which has survived for over 200 years, will continue to do so and our representative democracy is as strong as it ever has been. One of the best ways we have to demonstrate this is to clean house when it comes to the January 6th traitors. The justice department needs to keep the courts busy prosecuting everyone, starting with the former President. If that launches a "political war" then at least we will be able to identify clearly who the enemies of freedom, democracy and America are, and we can use the best weapon we have to eliminate them. It's called "the ballot box."
