It is getting to the point where my anxiety level rises at the very thought of turning on the morning news or looking at my social media news feed.  It seems to me that there are politicians, media personalities, and political operatives who are actively trying to dismantle America one constitutional amendment at a time.

Regardless of what you are being led to believe, America has evolved since its founding and in that process has sought to right many wrongs.  We always strive to do better and it cannot be said that America is not an open-minded nation.

Never before in history have people been so self-absorbed in their righteousness that they are willing to shred the Constitution in support of their ideology.  Politically motivated social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are slowly phasing out free speech in a way that specifically targets conservative voices.  The frightening part is that there are those out there who are perfectly okay with silencing speech that does not align with their own.  They are so short-sighted that they fail to see the slippery slope that will lead to their own censorship in the near future.  Never before do I remember a time when the  First Amendment  faced this kind of threat.

One day soon, we may wake up to find that we no longer live in the home of the free.  America is a young nation and a work in progress.  We will continue to grow and learn as we have since our founding.  As far as I am concerned, there is no better country and no place on earth I would rather live.  There are unfortunately those among us who blame America for all the world’s ills.  To those people, I say so long.  We have many laws governing who may come into our country.  We do not stand in the way, however, of those who wish to leave.
