AMAC members are familiar with the weekly poll on our website where we ask their take on an issue or item(s) in the news.But it is the comments section where members can really sound off. A good week has 500-700 comments.However, this week we garnered over 1,300 comments, the most since October 29, 2021.

We want our members to make pointed selections from the choices offered, limited to two maximum, and therefore intentionally eschew an all of the above selection.That helps AMAC discern priorities and what is most important.

Our ask this week was about the top priorities of The Left. There was a near three-way tie between growing government to control us, indoctrinating kids as early as elementary school, and open borders to get illegal aliens voting later. Creating dependency, a Green New Deal industrial policy, and a post-gender unisex world were the also-ran choices.

The one theme easily spotted in the comments was how The Left is totally absorbed with power and control in all that it does and proposes.Heres a selection from AMAC members, in their own words:
