I am a Canadian, and I can tell you that the world's conservatives are looking to America for hope and direction.  What we see is a Republican Party that is fractured and rudderless.  A party that fails to understand that we are in a mortal conflict with the left.  The left understands this and advocates winning this war at any cost and by any means.  Leftists have told you that and are openly advancing their troops.

Republican leadership believe that all they need are convincing arguments, understanding, and the desire to get along.  The left does not care, as you can see right now, that at-risk left politicians refuse to debate their GOP opponents in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and other battleground states.  GOP leadership are relatively silent about this and fail to campaign for these GOP candidates.

In fact, Liz Cheney, who is still supported by Mitch McConnell, has stated that she is going to campaign for Democrats in Arizona.  GOP leadership are silent.

Innocent January 6 Capitol visitors are still in jail and held as political prisoners.  Lindsey Graham has said these people got what they deserved.  Shameful.  Where are the GOP leadership to constantly confront and harass the DOJ, the Jan. 6 Committee?  GOP leadership allowed Nancy Pelosi to assign Republican members on that committee, and there was barely a peep from Kevin McCarthy.  No one was allowed to question witnesses.  GOP leadership are silent.  Three pipe bombs were found on January 5.  GOP leadership are silent.  Ray Epps?  Silence.

The FBI was intimately involved in the planning and operations of the attempted kidnapping of Gretchen Whitmer.  GOP leadership are silent.  FBI involvement in January 6?  GOP leadership are silent.  Fourteen thousand hours of video on January 6 that could prove FBI involvement and rioters innocent?  GOP leadership are silent.  The murder of Ashli Babbitt?  GOP leadership are silent.  Election interference by the FBI?  GOP leadership are silent.

Oh, Lindsey Graham threatens that when the GOP takes over the House and Senate, there will be repercussions.  Sure.  He's a spineless Republican.  Nothing will happen.

Hymn-singing abortion facility protestors are facing up to 11 years in jail.  GOP leadership are silent.  The illegal and unprecedented Mar-a-Lago raid?  GOP leadership, including Ron DeSantis?  Absent and silent.  Hunter and Joe Biden corruption?  GOP leadership are silent for the most part.

Lately, I have been introduced to two giant intellectual conservatives, Norman Podhoretz and Herbert London, and have been encouraged and impressed by these intellectual patriots.  Both were non-Trump-supporters, but came to fully support and vote for him.  When facts changed, they could change their minds.  When facts change, many Republican leaders cannot and will not change.  Norman called this fractured GOP "muddled."  Norman asked, "Is America a force for good in the world — or not?"  He finds it a force for good.

I fell in love with America when I attended Calvin University in Grand Rapids, MI from 1961 to 1965.

Republican leadership fail to understand that we are at war with the left.  The left understands and has declared openly that politics is a blood sport that leftists aim to win at any cost and by any means.  How do the GOP leadership respond?  As Podhoretz says, "it's muddled."  That leaves American patriots and patriots across the world leaderless and without vision or hope.

The only one who provides a clear consistent vision is Donald Trump.  No one else does.  The deplorables, all rednecks, Hungarians, Polish, youths in Iraq, conservatives in Italy and across the world, and Canadian truckers understand this war and what's at stake intuitively.  American GOP leadership somehow willfully or ignorantly do not.

I turned against collectivism when I, as an immigrant high school student attempting to learn English, read a book from the school library, I Chose Freedom by Victor Kravchenko.  This is not a great book, but it describes the political and human reality in the Soviet Union and helped shape who I am.  Much later, reading such books as The Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn and watching the movie Dr. Zhivago and learning about the Holodomor and the betrayal of the Ukrainian people by the NYT and Walter Duranty stiffened my resolve to oppose socialism/Marxism.

I implore the American GOP leadership to put all differences and egos aside to unite and fully engage in this war that we cannot afford to lose.
