Today's blog post is going to be unlike anything we have written about before here on the Playboy Ranchin' channel.
Being as that today's date, November 4th, just so happens to be the day before the most important election of our time and possibly in United States history, it seemed fitting to talk about what this election could possibly mean for the future of our country.
Before we get into the meat of today's post, I would first like to say that I personally could care less who you vote for, what your political views are, or what you think is fair.
I try and look at every situation with an objective point of view to make my own conclusions based off of the information that I gather that makes the most sense to me.
This could very well be one of the most controversial posts we've ever had and for those who have been here for some time, you would understand that we welcome controversy.
First things first, I am a red-blooded American and I am proud to say that I am.
Being as that we live in the greatest country to ever exist in human history, it's safe to say that we all deserve to be proud to be American.
However, with that being said, not everyone can say they are truly proud to be American.
We may not be the the "greatest" country statistically or metrically speaking, and I can understand this argument, but when you look at the simple fact we come from a place where we are actually allowed to have an opinion and voice our opinion, or the fact we come from a place where capitalism is allowed to flourish and create so much of our infrastructure, we are nothing less than truly blessed to come from such a place.
One thing that I think we can all agree on is that Americans collectively have lost sight of what it truly means to be American.
Think about it - when you have been at the top for so long and everything starts to get easier, as humans, we tend to take things for granted.
When everything has been given to you on a silver platter, you naturally lose respect for the very foundation that made the silver platter.
That is what it is like to be American in today's day-in-age.
There is a clear distinction between people that are truly proud to be hard working Americans and want to continue to fight for everything that makes this country what it is, and those who care more about their own feelings and the feelings of others because they have had it too easy for too long.
One thing we know when we look back through human history is that every great empire must eventually fall.
I am sure we have all heard the phrase: "hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men."
This is a cycle that has been repeated over and over again throughout all of human history.
Every rising world power must first go through the hard times phase of the cycle because hard times spark innovation and creativity.
During hard times, people have to work to become useful so that they can build and fuel a functioning economy, build strong families that will grow and contribute to society, and build strong military power to protect what is theirs.
During the hard times phase of the cycle, men are at their strongest because every man has a mission and a purpose, and that mission is to be useful and pass that on to the next generation.
The good times phase of the cycle is when everything begins to shift.
Once world power has been established, we then move into a period of peace and prosperity where everything becomes easier - there is very little internal conflict, and very little external conflict because of the newfound respect for the new kids on the block.
During the good times phase of the cycle is when men begin to back down.
Put simply, when times have been hard, the previous generation doesn't want the next generation to have to go through what they went through so by default, they naturally make things easier for the next generation so that they do not have to go through and withstand the same level of hardship.
However, the funny thing about life is that hardship exists on every level, so while you might think you're shielding the next generation from hardship, they will have their own hardships to face.
The only difference is that if you do not prepare the next generation for hardship, their hardship becomes that much harder to deal with.
This is the beginning of the downfall of every great civilization that has ever existed in human history.
As humans, we grow comfortable during times of peace and prosperity.
We tend to think that because we have had it so good this whole time that it will last forever.
However, while this might sound good in fairy tale, this is not reality.
The reality is that those without power are always working to gain power, and those with power tend to get comfortable after awhile.
The haves versus the have nots is a natural fundamental law of human nature - those with less are always trying to take from those who have more.
This is why wars are fought, this is why internal conflict exists between lower, middle, and upper class, and this just so happens to be the biggest difference between the left and right political parties in the United States.
The general mindset of the Democrat political party is to give to those with less, while the general mindset of the Republican party is to protect and preserve what is ours.
I can understand the democratic mindset and I genuinely believe they are correct in theory, however, theoretical does not mean practical.
Practicality on political issues is a matter of using logic based on what is really going on around the world.
It is important to understand that the world does not work like a charity organization.
Giving money to Ukraine to fund their war does not make us good people, it makes us weak people.
Because not only does giving to someone else in a time of war make us a target to the enemy, it just so happens to increase our government spending, increasing our debt deficits, and making the prices of our goods skyrocket through the roof so that the average American can barely afford to put a roof over their head.
Theoretically speaking, giving to those who seem like they need it makes sense because why not?
They need our help!
But practically speaking, it makes no sense because not only does giving to the have nots put us at risk for the reasons stated above, now we have internal conflict between those who think we should be funding their war versus those who don't.
Mix internal conflict with real world conflict and you have a recipe for disaster.
Our system has been weakened due to our own arrogance through years of having it so easy.
Right now, it is clear more than ever that strong men are needed once again because times are increasingly getting harder.
Funding other peoples wars, accepting illegal immigrants, and tanking our economy isn't going to make things easier, they are just going to result in even harder times down the road.
The only way out is for strong men to rise once again and take back what is rightfully ours.
We need to be useful, we need to innovate and prepare for our future, and most importantly, we need to get back to raising respectable families that will contribute to society.
There is only one suitable candidate for the job and at this point, I do not think you need me to say his name...
This particular candidate cannot be bought and is a threat to the very system that is keeping the minds of its people locked in a cage.
We need a leader that people fear because like it or not, fear is a matter of respect.
If someone fears losing you, they will do their best to respect you.
If someone fears competing against you, it is because they respect the power that you wield.
Feelings mean nothing during a time of war.
Feelings mean nothing when everyone is distracted from what is really going on.
America was founded on the very principles that accepts God and accepts capitalism.
Without God, we have no morals.
Without capitalism, we have no infrastructure.
We owe it to those who are doing whatever it takes to preserve these values so that we can continue to thrive and so future generations can thrive.
That, my friends, is what makes America the greatest country in the world...
