Where did all of our freedom go?

This election indicates the depths to which Hillary Clinton and her ilk will go to maintain their hold on power. They have sunk to the point where they do not even make an attempt at a defense of their nefarious actions and involvements. They simply lie and call those with ample evidence against them liars, period. Their modus operandi is, “We are going to lie to you, expect it, like it, and keep your mouths shut.”

The theologian Miroslav Volf provides an apt insight into this liberal thought. He tells us that those who esteem themselves as better than others take on an attitude of dominance, in which those, (such as the Clinton ilk) will grant us the privilege of living among them if we only assume an inferior role and know our place.

Additionally, they exclude by disdaining and ignoring, giving no thought to others needs, thereby bolstering their sense of power.

Washington, D.C., is becoming estranged from the people with each election. Consolidation of power in the hands of a few is occurring and accountability to the people is absent. If this allowed to progress without interruption, we will be waking one day and wondering where freedom went.
