Dictator of America

By Joseph Wilburn Boring Jr.

What would YOU do if you had the most powerful position of leadership in the free world?

Beyond congress, even beyond president, the Dictator of America must be unbiased and thorough in legislation and execution of duties to maintain the foundational freedoms of our wonderful nation.

This book addresses issues that demand such action. The context will help crystallize the deep and powerful but almost repressed convictions of conservative Americans of every degree, status, and race.

Introduction

• The United States of America.

• It is the best place to live on the planet, even with its problems. I am willing to do what can be done to keep it up and running and progressively improving as I endeavor to prosper. I have a personal stake in this country. When America is free, I am. The opportunities available encourage me to aspire and attain both corporally and ideologically. Here, I can obtain. I can possess. I can enjoy the fruits of my labor. This is possible because of the liberty our great nation affords us individually and as a whole.

• Our freedoms allow us the potential to create great wealth. Competition helps keep a check on the power that comes with success. Laws that become necessary due to the errant actions of the few lend further credence to the general good. We are vigilant in our endeavors to maintain order, but we are not vigilantes. We carefully consider the laws we make, so as to be truly a republic in which all are cared for, all are protected, all take responsibility for their actions. This is my nation, my country, my America.

• Some 400 years ago, this land was inhabited by peoples who lived simply. Our forebears arrived with more complex cultures, diseases, legalities, religions, weaponry… and, right or wrong, the natives were pushed aside or killed off. Our ancestors began to settle and spread. They brought servants and slaves. Different nationalities intermingled by choice or chance or force.

• Assimilating is always problematic and wherever there is faction there is friction. Here, in what was to become the United States of America, it was no different. By and large, people tolerated one another, though, and our nation began to grow and, by any account, prosper.

• The English king was not conducive to the freedom these early Americans had gotten a taste of, however. Over a period of more than 100 years, the notion held by the colonists had grown beyond an assumption that there was better to be had than was being allotted.

• Enter 1776.

• Men who had a dream of what real freedom should be drafted our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. They laid their lives on the line and were joined by others. As one, they severed the stranglehold England had on them.

• The English called it an act of treason.

• From the vantage point of the overtaxed and abused settlers, however, our founders knew their endeavor was not only necessary, but justified and reasonable.

• They were united first in desperation, then in purpose and in hope. They were not perfect. What had been won was not either. They had something they could work with, however. That is what has been going on here since then and must continue.

• Through thick and thin, right and wrong, we have stood. Sometimes in shame, sometimes gloriously, we have stood. We have a system like no other and we can stand, if we will, for we can always look up to what is better and seek to attain it, for we are free.

• There is no limit for us who desire the best. We can seek for wholeness and success… even holiness and purity… and for whatever we desire, for goodness’ sake!

• We have birthed or enabled or allowed or otherwise obtained some bad apples, however.

• To them, freedom has become a loophole for the baser of human weakness and coarseness.

• On the one hand are those desirous of betterment. On the other are the crude.

• I am going to be frank and you must bear with me here to get into the nitty-gritty of this whole matter. Are you ready? Thank God, the good have, to the greater extent, outnumbered, outvoted and managed or at least held sway over the bad (oversimplified, admittedly) in our land for two hundred thirty years and counting.

• They are the majority and minority—not culture or language or skin color, but good and evil. They are the many basically good and a few generally evil.

• It is that few who provide the contrast which we who know good can observe and use to keep our focus.

• How much contrast is needed, though?

• The numbers of the few are increasing and adding to their perverted sense of power. They are becoming bolder as their deviant mindsets are produced in films, pushed at us in courtrooms and classrooms, promoted via what some call the ‘Arts’, and flaunted in other places and by various means. It is obvious that we dare not sit back and see what happens! If so much perversion is awash now, it will entirely degrade our society while we sip our coffee, if we let it.

• This exposition is an attempt at providing a view of some prevalent ideologies that are gaining in prominence among us. These include but are not limited to anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-liberty, anti-responsibility. This is not name-calling babble. It is a witness to evidence of what I sincerely hope I am wrong about but afraid I am not.

• This is political in ways, religious in others, down-home where applicable, and urban if I can’t get around it. Honest and simple and expedient is how I am offering this profundity to the best of the ability and blessing God has given me.

• We all know there are two sides to every story, and in some cases more. This treatise is a conglomerate of tidbits gathered here and there and I am doing all I can to look at both sides and around, over and through to see if there are indeed other aspects. If it fits my estimation, it is easier to offer; if it is against my grain, yet a fact, how dare I digress?

• I have had to change my mind before… I can again, as truth prevails. I pray the same can be accomplished in all who enter this concourse.

• Everybody has opinions. Everybody has convictions. Everybody has understanding to some degree about many things. I seek to relay to you that which I receive day by day and have all through my life, distilled into a synopsis of the idiosyncrasies in me and among us.

• Often I find a simple misunderstanding that an adjustment in viewpoint can clear away. Also, sadly, there are times and instances in which opinions have been formed which are akin to concrete: thoroughly mixed up and well set.

• It is this batch of incongruities which needs terribly to be dealt with. We have people and factions within our population who form a mindset quite limited and often contrary to what is, to the conscientious, obviously reasonable and plausible for the situation at hand.

• For years I have been hoping it was a scattered few who were stretching their wings of imagination and maybe making a movie just for fun or penning a fairy tale for enjoyment. As do others, I have wandered, erred, and, Thank God, found correction along the way. I had in my mind a picture of everyone else also being generally good, but slightly straying occasionally.

• Boy oh boy, did it knock me for a loop to finally understand how not everybody is like me. Some are better behaved, and some are (gulp) worse. Of those, there are the flat-out mean and cruel, but also those who are mentally fluffy, who operate on imagination and whatever is nonconformant.

• Alas, the farce has been gaining in force and inconsistency and actually taking on form.

• Personalities I thought were merely thinking outside the box apparently have lost sight of the box or choose to deny its being. They are living their truth-defying dreams. Their voices are loud. They force their soundings out among us and offer a challenge, whether spoken or inferred, for us to accept as fact and acceptable what they declare, or face castigation.

• In many ways it is like the evolution crowd (and sometimes they intertwine) who process a theory as fact. Instead of treating opposition as an opportunity to learn more or differently, they take it as an affront, personal, and battle to prove the theory worthy of belief. They don’t seem to be able or willing to accept any evidence to the contrary. Apparently, they do not comprehend how such attitude and action derails true scientific observance. Consequently this course of impropriety puts what might have been a scientific breakthrough into the perceived category of opinion or imagination or plain hokey.

• For example, during a conversation I was involved in recently, in which we were discussing the National Debt, there was a certain young fellow among our small group who has more answers than any of us. One fellow asked the youngster if he knew to whom or what entity our national debt was owed. His response was, Who don’t we owe?

• He had to look intelligent or something, I guess, in his own mind. In ours, it wasn’t working, but he didn’t seem to take note. At any rate, he did not answer the question.

• It is my prayer and anticipation that this declaration will help clarify some of these matters. I believe that in the light of truth and of hope a rational mind can see the absurdity of the empty haranguing of the protagonists. Those who do not care to change will charge me with being a bigot and hateful and uninformed and whatever else. That is to be expected.

• To reiterate: if they can present facts, not just opinion, I am willing to put on my grown-up britches and face the matter and change if need be. Otherwise, I should be able to expect action in like manner from them.

Whence and Whither

• To those who wish to find it, who have not yet understood, there is a bias to this treatise. It was found while I was looking for a center of the road, where liberals and conservatives could coexist. A place where Democrats and Republicans could
