On Wednesday, U.S. Senator Rand Paul said of President Biden, “I think most importantly, what we have to hear is that he’s not going to radically transform the country into some sort of socialist dystopia.” I submit that years ago he, along with the rest of us, should have thought more deeply about the direction we have been heading for a while.

I find interesting the political rhetoric coming from the presidential campaigns surrounding the “civil unrest” that is burning down some of our nation’s larger cities and destroying the properties and livelihoods of innocent persons. On the one hand, we are told that if we don’t vote for Joe Biden, the destruction will continue and worsen because it is fueled in various ways by President Trump. On the other hand, we are told that if we don’t vote for Donald Trump, the destruction will continue and worsen because Joe Biden has no courage to stand up to lawlessness. What should we make of this Hobson’s choice?
