The Power Elite
By Ronald J. Scott
September 30, 2024
 
On September 22, 2024, an organization named National Security Leaders for America (NSL4A) published a letter, signed by 741 individuals (including 237 retired generals and admirals), pledging support for presidential candidate Kamala Harris.  Here is one of its statements: “This election is a choice between serious leadership and vengeful impulsiveness. It is a choice between democracy and authoritarianism. Vice President Harris defends America’s democratic ideals, while former President Donald Trump endangers them.”  Yet, the letter provides no specific evidence to support the pejorative claims.

Serious leadership?
Since January 20, 2021, in less than four years, Russia invaded Ukraine; Iran-backed terror groups are attacking U.S. service members and Israel; China has ramped up its aggressive actions toward Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines; and North Korea is launching missiles.


Impulsiveness?
Neo-Marxist DEI personnel and programs flourish after Trump sought to stop them. Trump never violated court injunctions or rulings. Biden ignored them (e.g., student loan debt).

Authoritarian?
In 2021 and beyond, the Biden-Harris Administration discharged over 8,000 men and women for constitutionally refusing to be injected by an experimental vaccine. This Administration has also allowed the Soviet-style weaponization of our legal system to target a political opponent.

Defends America’s democratic ideals?
America is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. I’ll touch upon this distinction later in the article.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Everyday Americans don't put much stock in sternly-worded letters written by self-annointed elites.  Each of the letter's signatories only has one vote each, just like everyone else.
