TL Davis just comes right out and says it—all of it.
America is weak as it was during the Civil War/War of Northern Aggression, not yet having found its bearings or expanded to its whole breadth. One part of the government demanded a self-immolating end to slavery without a practical or logical way of disentangling the economy of the South from slavery. It was, in that aspect, a taking without compensation and a violation of state’s rights.
Now, in the inflamed racial environment fomented for political gain by Barack Obama and egged on continually by the George Soros-funded BLM and Antifa, fighting to divide America again as it was during the CW/WoNA for their own purposes of raising communism out of the smoking remains. A third or less of America is willing to burn it to the ground to get what they want with the much larger share of Americans simply trying to ignore it while they go to work and support their families.
But Americans will not be defended from the antagonistic members of society by behaving themselves. They want to, they have been taught their whole lives that there’s nothing worth fighting for, that’s not the way civil society operates, even while they are amidst the most uncivil society ever devised in the homeland. They are being shown scenes of Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, Maoist China on their own streets, in their own courts of law, and they still refuse to see it.
They have endured a biological weapon unleashed on them; seen young, strong athletes drop dead on football fields across the land and they still don’t break free of the trap into which their mind has been captured. Invasions of illegals from every nation in the world have descended upon their borders and strolled through with the guidance of border patrol officers. This is at the behest of a single president, a single department in the government in violation of the will of the people. Up to 70% of which see this as an invasion, not calm, deliberative immigration policy. They recognize that terrorists and foreign military fighters have likely slipped in among the droves of illegals and are among them now, plotting their attacks. There is no accounting for who they are, where they went or whether the children they brought along as cover for their diabolical schemes are their biological children or just children being trafficked into the rich soil of perverse Americans.
That’s not enough, yet. Bankrupting the nation, stealing the Social Security funds involuntarily taken from millions of citizens wages over the course of their entire working lives and spending it on illegal’s benefits and providing them housing isn’t enough. The government, according to the people’s reactions, can provide safe haven for child sex traffickers, human traffickers, drug smugglers, terrorists and foreign armies and still not call it for what it is: treason.
They want an orderly and meaningful way to oppose those things while the republic is lost during the discussion. The important thing is, it doesn’t matter what they want, because the communist train continues down the track. The American wants to vote against these things, but the communists won’t let them. Stealing elections is how they came to power, they certainly aren’t going to allow people to vote them out of office or vote for people who would put an end to their crime spree. They have a very effective means of taking someone like Mike Johnson and within a month turning him to their purposes. They’ve been doing that for a long time and they’re good at it.
Here’s the flat truth: this cannot be done in an orderly and meaningful way. It has to be chaotic, it has to be sporadic, it has to be kinetic. I don’t want it that way, nor am I encouraging it. I’m a student of history and this is what history tells me, not only American history, but world history. No one went to war in our past, because they woke up one day and decided to go to war. They were bullied and pushed and shoved into accepting things that where wholly against their ideals, their morals, their sense of justice and when they had swallowed enough, realized that it was only going to get worse, that everyone they knew was going to be victimized by it, murdered to ensure it, their houses burned down for speaking against it (actually or metaphorically), they decided that it had to stop and the only way to do that was with war.
In his closer, he waxes a bit more optimistic, way more so than I find it possible to be at the moment. Elsewhere, Ace had this to say yesterday about what TL calls the Colorado Precedent:
This cannot go on. As I keep saying, blue jurisdictions cannot be allowed to prey on travelers from the hinterlands with these absurd criminal persecutions and mega-jackpot penalties for not being a progressive leftwing Democrat. WE ARE NOT A PREY SPECIES FOR THE PREDATORY, LUNATIC LEFT.
Oh, aren’t we?
Courts will have to change venues in politically sensitive cases — and if courts won’t allow it, the federal government will have to make them.
OOOHHHH yeah, there’s a winning formula all right: implore those who are oppressing us to end their oppression of us. Works beautifully every time it’s tried, right? And if for some unfathomable reason it doesn’t this time, why, we can always VOTE HARDERER!© at them, right?
Bah, humbug. Plug “SOIA punk band” into Duck Duck Go or Luxxle for an explanation of my post title, why I used it, and why I am declaring myself all done with politics for the next few days. It’s just the same old tired shite, over and over and over again, and I refuse to allow it to ruin the holiday for me this year.
I’ll most likely put up some more Christmas-song vids over the weekend, maybe a few funny memes and such-like, maybe a re-post or two from the “Greatest Hits” section, specifically the old Xmas essays. But as for looking in on any of my usual blog-haunts or op-ed aggregators trolling for things to write about here until after December 25th is in the rearview? Yeah, NO. Not this boy. Time for a vacay from all that, methinks.
Given my age and overall state of decrepitude, every Christmas could very well be my last, and I have no intention of letting the steadily-worsening state of affairs in what I call Amerika v2.0 impinge further on my holiday spirit than it already has. Life’s just too damned short to waste all of it on this Shinola, so I’m a-pulling the plug for a brief spell; if you feel the way I do about it, then I strongly advise y’all to do likewise.
Play with the dog; give the cat a nice, long tummy-rub; relax by the fireplace with a stiff cocktail; practice on the trumpet/violin/guitar/piano/whatever; give the kids/grandkids a long, tight hug; enjoy a nice home-cooked meal; read a good book, instead. Provided you aren’t trapped in some stinking, violent urban hellhole, just step outside and breathe the crisp, clean air on Christmas morn if nothing else. Keeping TEH OUTRAGE™ cranked up to eleven (“It’s one louder, isn’t it?“) every minute of every day just ain’t healthy, and that’s a fact.
Irregardless (sorry—heh), a most merry Christmas to all of you, be ye CF Lifer, lurker, or the noob-iest of noobs. God bless us, every one.
And Merry Christmas to you, Mike.
We have yet to lose everything, and we will not. I can not predict the moment or the reason for the shift, but shift it will.
Oh, it certainly will. If history tells us anything, it would have to be that. The worm will turn, always and forever.
We will be a prey species for the Left until they are actively hunted down and ended, along with anyone subsequently carrying water for them.
When being a totalitarian communist in public severely impinges on one’s life expectancy, the phenomenon will disappear.
And/or the democommunists will.
Either way, it’s a win.
When the impending societal cage match breaks out, only one side is coming out the door when it’s over.
That’s a feature, not a bug.
“Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the cost of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!” – Patrick Henry
Nota bene Henry’s lack of appeal to another election, nor to any court.
