"In the battle between democracy and autocracy, democracies are rising to the moment, and the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security," said President Joe Biden in his State of the Union address. "This is a real test. It's going to take time." Thus did Biden frame the struggle of our time as the U.S. leading the world's democracies, the camp of the saints, against the world's autocrats, the forces of darkness. But is "democracy" really America's cause? Is "autocracy" really America's great adversary in the battle for the future? Not all autocrats, after all, are our enemies, nor are all democrats our reliable friends. When Ukraine was invaded, the U.N. General Assembly voted on a resolution which "deplores in the strongest terms" Russia's "aggression" against Ukraine. Among the 35 nations that abstained was India, the world's largest democracy. Whose side is India on in the great struggle? Freedom House ranks Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, all friends, partners and sometime allies of the United States, as "not free." Are we in a global struggle against all of these nations, all of these regimes, because all of them are autocracies? As for America's own wars, democracy-versus-autocracy would seem to be a misguided way to describe any of them. In the Revolution, we were military allies from 1778 on with King Louis XVI of France, against Great Britain, the Mother of Parliaments. Our goal was not establishing a democracy, but our independence, separation, from the most democratic nation on earth. When we declared war on the kaiser's Germany in April 1917, we allied ourselves with four of the greatest colonial empires on earth: the British, French, Russian and Japanese empires. When that Great War began, Germany's Second Reich was a good deal more democratic than the czarist regime of Russia's Nicholas II. In World War II, we allied with the world's largest colonial empire, Great Britain, and the USSR of Joseph Stalin. Democracy was not the cause for which we went to war, but payback to Japan for the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. Our most important ally in that Asian war was the Nationalist China of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, no democrat. History, religion, race, culture, tribe and territory more often define the 100-plus nations of Africa, the Middle East and Asia than whether they are democracies or autocracies. During the Cold War, we collaborated openly with dictators -- Rafael Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, Anastasio Somoza in Nicaragua, Chiang Kai-shek in China, Syngman Rhee in South Korea, Augusto Pinochet in Chile, Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines, the shah of Iran, Ngo Dinh Diem, and a succession of generals after his assassination, in South Vietnam. If they stood with us against the Communists in the Cold War, we stood by them. "He may be a SOB, but he's our SOB," FDR said of Somoza. Communism was our ideological enemy, not autocracy. If you were an enemy of communism in the Cold War, autocrat or not, you were likely to be treated as a friend by the USA. If we make global "democracy" the measure of success in the great struggle of our time, our victory or defeat in that cause depends on political decisions and internal choices of scores of nations not our own. But when did the internal politics of other lands become either the business of the United States or the yardstick of our success as a nation? To make global democracy our goal in this century's great "battle" is to allow America's success or failure as a nation to be judged and measured by what other nations, not our own, succeed or fail in doing. America's founding mission was not democracy, nor any other ideology. It was what we declared it to be in the document our fathers agreed to at the Constitutional Convention of 1787: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." "Democracy" is not even mentioned in the Constitution or in the Bill of Rights. If whether other nations are democratic or autocratic is the measure by which we judge America's success, this must lead invariably to U.S. interference in the internal affairs of those nations not our own -- to ensure success in the great struggle. To pursue global "democracy" is thus a formula for endless interventions in the internal affairs of other nations, endless conflicts and eventual war. The antidote is John Quincy Adams' formulation: “America goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.... She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom.” -John Quincy Adams, 1821 Patrick J. Buchanan Page 17 Cont. from pg 1 April 8, 2022 - April 14, 2022 Is Global 'Democracy' America's Mission? Disney Upsets Most of America Disney theme park or spend a dime on any Disney product or movie. All is fair in war, right? And this is a war between Disney and America, American values, American exceptionalism and JudeoChristian values. This is a far cry from the vision of Disney's founder, the iconic Walt Disney, a true American patriot who wanted to create movies and television programs that were family-oriented and wholesome to entertain the whole family. Disney made billions of dollars from brilliantly executing on Walt's amazing and wholesome vision. Billou and I outline exactly what to do in our book. We provide the name of Disney's chairman of the board and CEO, their phone numbers, email addresses, social media addresses and physical address (for snail mail). All of this information is provided in our book's directory of 116 woke companies. Disney just made themselves our No. 1 target. First, look up the social media handles for Disney and its key senior executives. Then bombard them with polite but firm messages stating that you will choose to boycott Disney for its woke choices. Here is an example: "Dear Bob Chapek (CEO of Disney), I am disgusted that Disney is choosing to create content that brainwashes and sexualizes children with your woke and radical anti-American and anti-Christian agenda. This is not the Disney that I grew up with, and I believe it's highly inappropriate to insert adult and woke brainwashing into children's stories. I will be canceling my family's Disney + membership, and we will not be doing business with your company anymore. Shame on you for caving to the woke mob. Sincerely.....Wayne Allyn Root" Secondly, FOLLOW THROUGH. Stop doing business with Disney. Post on social media. Encourage others to stop doing business with them. Make them pay, financially speaking. Third, sign up to our email list at ROOTforAmerica.com, and join the army of God-fearing, patriotic Americans who are fed up with woke corporations who take our money and then spit in our faces. Businesses exist to serve their customers, to solve their problems and make their lives better with their products and services. Not to promote woke ideologies or brainwash our children to change their sexual identities. Disney is the poster child for this. It's time for Disney to pay. It's time for Disney to listen and hear us! It's time to "DEFUND DISNEY." After we prove we have the power to change the direction of this country, one company at a time, with Disney as our first example, then we have other companies to speak with. But let's start by treating Disney like our "(Re)public enemy number one." They richly deserve it. "DEFUND DISNEY." Wayne Allyn Root Ed. Note: We usually do not advocate “boycotts” of any kind... However, we agree that Walt is probably rolling around in his freezer seeing how badly Disney lost his initial intent of family values and wholseome entertainment .. and Defund sounds better than boycott. The other part I like about this ... “DEFUND” is the lefts tactic, it’s time we use it against them. Also: All Disney’s contact info is on line without purchasing anything.
