ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: oxford-union.org/supportus

I am not the Silent Majority. I am in the vocal Majority who loves America and honor its constitutional tenants every single day of my life. I use the freedom its Constitution secures by worshiping the almighty God in the manner I deign to be right and proper. I teach my family about him every single day by reading his words and applying his principles to our lives. I use constitutional freedoms and guaranteed powers to operate a business that I started and own to provide means for my family's welfare. I use its constitutional power to own firearms and to teach my children how to operate them safely and carefully. I use its constitutional authority to care for and serve my neighbors, and to help them with anything I can. I use its powers to vote in all county, state, and federal elections. I do not agree with weakness and debasement of any kind. I do not agree with simply ignoring the foundational principles of the Constitution. Biden and his cabinet of miscreants have spat on the values and creeds that the great constitution of the United States was built on. They have done this by using there power to selfishly attack there opponents through misuse of Judicial and Presidential powers. They have misused the trust of the American voters by not providing for the common defense. They have diminished the sovereignty and protection of the physical borders of the United States through neglect. They have dismissed with utter deceit the values upheld by their fellow Americans by allowing our great nation to suffer through economical destruction. They have accomplished this by dismissing with prejudice domestic energy deals that were already in place, and through mismanagement of existing infrastructure. They have accomplished great dishonor by displaying weakness and disregard for human life. This was on full display to the world by watching how they left billions of dollars of American military equipment in Afghanistan to terrorists. They have misused American tax payer dollars by sending billions in aide to Ukraine to aide in a cause that should never have occurred. I believe they allowed the Ukraine-Russian conflict to arise due to there greed and blindsided arrogance. Biden and his cabinet will one day be held accountable for their misuse of God Given powers of Government upon his free people and land. I am an American, and God is my Lord and Master. This is his nation, and it will not be dealt with thusly without Justice and penance. The God they dismiss so casually does not slumber and is not some imaginary being that does not see or hear or feel. I also believe in a God of mercy and love, but this does not undermine actions taken when one holds Authority and office. I premise this belief that God alone provided the means that this country was formed and was present during all its conflicts and establishments. He alone holds its rights of government, authority and powers. He is a God of Freedom because he first loved us. We are dependent upon him for our very existence in every way. This is why Americans fight for the constitution of the United States of America, and this is why Americans love their land with such ferocity. May it ever be so my dear brothers and sisters! Let us not forget! Remember we are Americans first, not a person of some political party and agenda. What we say and do really matters, and we will stand before our perfectly just and loving Heavenly Father for the use of our God given agency.

"They have done this by using [their] power to selfishly attack [their] opponents through misuse of Judicial and Presidential powers" When Trump on Twitter incites his supporters to attack Capitol Hill on the day that the election votes are ratified, then YES Trump ought to be served the law. When he continuously makes mockery of the American electoral integrity by providing no solid evidence of electoral fraud and yet convincing all of his supporters to this day that he won the 2020 election, then YES such a person ought to be punished because he is a danger to the democracy. You talked about freedom and liberty and yet found it very easy to still support a man who has consistently gloated that he is going to become a dictator if he is re-elected, that he is going to take revenge on all of his political opponents, that his lawyer even used the argument that Donald Trump ought to have presidential immunity even if he kills someone and consistently gloat about the importance of a president to be above the law by having such immunity to the public. Aven after all that and you had the gall to call yourself a supporter of freedom and the constitution. You call that we are all American first but clearly you are Trump Republican first. God is not dismissed casually in this country, it is a secular country where there is a separation between the church and the state unlike Afghanistan or Iran or Saudi Arabia. Don't pretend to be victimised when people simply do not wished to be legislated by the moral teaching of the bible when there are many now in America who are either atheists or believers of other religion.
