Words Matter

Ronald Reagan was a master of communication. It is tremendously important that conservatives can overcome the lies that the media allows the left to get away with. We got a good example of this from Vice President J.D. Vance.

CBS “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan pressed Vance on the administration’s immigration enforcement policies. After a contentious back and forth, Brennan said, “Well, this is a country founded by immigrants. This is a unique country.”

Then Vance shut her down, saying: 

“This is a very unique country, and it was founded by some immigrants and some settlers. But just because we were founded by immigrants doesn’t mean that 240 years later we have to have the dumbest immigration policy in the world.”

His response brought something else to my mind. When does the left point to the America of 240 years ago and say, “Yes, that’s something we believe in. Why don’t we still follow that?” They’ll do it on immigration, and people will fall for it.

But 240 years ago, people believed that liberty came from God. Two hundred and forty years ago, people believed there were men, women, and nothing else. They gave us a constitutional Republic, not a democracy; a government with a clear separation of powers. But the left isn’t interested in any of that. In fact, they want to do away with all of it.
