A stirring, if bleakly realistic, call to arms.
America is at a crucial moment in history when one system has failed and all wait and wonder what the new system will be. Very likely, with all of the momentum in the direction of tyranny and force, it will be an ugly, miserable system. While they might hope for a resurgence of American freedom, the opposite has been steadily built on top of that very freedom, smothering it for decades, piling rules and regulations on top of one another until their weight is so great that freedom is no longer known, much less imagined or brought into the light.
It is not enough to win an election. It is not enough to reverse the ruthless penalties brought onto the heads of those laboring to survive not only the pandemic, but the economic disaster it wrought. It is not enough to beg for what little freedom is left. One must be rabidly anti-communist. One must thirst for freedom, demand it beyond all restraint, settle for nothing less than an eradication of the small ministerial laws that sneak communism into every corner of the republic, for that is the root of all we see today. That is the root of Antifa/BLM and Revcom. It is the normalizing of force, the institutionalizing of extortion. Even one law that places the state above the individual is one too many. That one law becomes a guidepost for imprisoning a barber for cutting hair. To imagine that possibility is an affront to American freedom. It still rings with the sound of a thousand chains in the patriot’s head.
What comes to America after the election, no matter which way it goes, is a fight for the survival of American freedom. It is not something that can be done through elections. Each law that allowed petty tyrants to destroy the livelihoods of fellow citizens must be ripped out by the roots. Communist actors that enter the neighborhood must be forced out. If anything has been made abundantly clear over the past few months it is that the police will not help. They have lost the understanding of their oaths. They are subject to the whims of heretical politicians and that makes them dangerous to freedom, because they have no reasoning, no understanding of right and wrong, just instructions, whatever those instructions might be. They rely on no laws, no legislation, but respond to the orders of tyrants and dutifully obey. Breaking that relationship should be high on the agenda as well. There is room for reorganizing the police as so many communists demand, but reorganizing them to fit a model of freedom is just as easy and more necessary.
There will be a lot to do in the coming months. It will be an uphill fight with every institution against one’s efforts. Not even those on the side of freedom know what that means, they repeat it like a parrot, but do not know. Show them. The world waits your every move.
We can only hope it’s not already too late. But TL is correct right down the line with this one, of which you should read the all.
Today is one of those days when I don’t see how it ends well. It’s depressing to think of all the men and women that have served their country to protect and defend freedom, many giving their lives in that cause, knowing it will end in a loss. I can only hope there are enough people with a desire to be free to restore something from the ashes that will follow.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll be more optimistic.
My son showed me a NY Post cover showing Trump saying he can take NY.
Then the Indictment News. Going into the Weekend that’s cheery news.
Problem was, Barry, that they did their fighting over there, when their real enemies have always been domestic for the past forty years. While they were serving their country to protect and defend freedom in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Bosnia, and Somalia, no one was fighting the real enemy here and the battle was lost.
No argument from me.
I’ll just note Trump wants us out of those places…
