Rant or Rave
President Of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele Has a Message for America
Last week, the young leader spoke at CPAC, a conservative conference held annually to discuss political issues facing the United States. I would like to shine a spotlight on the El Salvadorian President, Nayib Bukele, who was in America and gave an invigorating speech but more importantly, who represents a strong alternative to the apathetic and damaging policies of our current administration.
Before he was elected president in 2019, El Salvador was known as one of the most dangerous countries in the world. The small Central American nation was riddled with gang violence and murder, and those in charge were puppets of the ruling criminals. When elected, the populist Bukele changed all that. He imprisoned violent criminals and gang members, showing them no mercy. In doing so, he reduced the homicide rate from 106 per 100,000 people in 2015 to 7.8 per 100,000 in 2022. That is an astonishing feat.
Some of his tactics may seem harsh – the jails in our country are like a vacation destination compared to the ones in theirs, but one must ask – what is the end goal of these measures? Shouldn’t ordinary citizens, who are not steeped in criminal activity, live freely? Shouldn’t they be able to leave their homes, go to work, buy food, etc., without the threat of being robbed, assaulted, forced to join a gang, or killed? Isn’t that the simple promise a leader of any country should bring to their people?
Some individuals from our country worry that Bukele may be infringing on its residents’ civil liberties. Did you do what I just did after reading that statement? Did you nearly fall off your seat? Oh, the irony! NPR proclaimed that “Bukele’s indifference to democratic norms” is an issue. Ilhan Omar, the leftist lunatic representing Minnesota, warned the Biden Administration about “human rights violations” in El Salvador and implied that democracy was at stake.
These people need to be reminded about what they supported and administered during COVID. Our constitutional rights were stripped away for a virus that was not, in fact, deadly to the vast majority of Americans. We were forced to wear ineffective masks, receive an ineffective and potentially harmful injection, or risk losing our jobs, ordered to not leave our homes, and businesses (well, only certain ones) were mandated to shut down. Two weeks to slow the spread metastasized to several years of dictatorial conduct. There are so many other examples, including the censorship of speech, the targeting of Christians, and the labeling of concerned parents as domestic terrorists, yet they have the shameful audacity to judge anyone about democratic values. What a load of nonsense.
Also, what about the crime currently ransacking our republic? Pick any major city in the U.S., and in certain parts, you might feel like you are in a 3rd world country. The Left can’t spin this thanks to images and videos we can see with our own eyes. People who live in these cities witness this first-hand. Homelessness plagues our city’s streets and crime is rampant. District Attorneys are too busy trying to truly subvert democracy by targeting former President Trump rather than pursuing criminals who put the average American citizen’s life at risk.
From stealing and drug trafficking to assault and murder, criminals are roaming the streets without much opposition. Although the police are trying to do their jobs as best as they can, many of these offenders are simply released without bail or are just not being prosecuted. It is a travesty that can easily be resolved – enforce the damn laws! That is what the El Salvadoran president has done and is continuing to do.
This article seems more like a ‘rant’ than a ‘rave’, but certain things need to be said to demonstrate what leaders like the El Salvadoran President and true Conservative leaders in our country are up against. During the Conservative Political Action Conference, Bukele stated that we need to charge criminals and remove corrupt judges. He also warned that whoever is elected president this year must be courageous against the swamp. His words reverberate in the minds of those of us who clearly see what is going on. “These dark forces are already taking over your country,” President Bukele declared. Indeed, they are. The bureaucracy needs to be completely dismantled and power returned to We the People.
