Point taken, butt don’t like the implication that it’s the defender who starts a fight, and the loser who ends it.

Interesting twist on how wars start and end and I never thought about it that way. But it seems right to me.

The peace symbol was started by socialists and “one world government” advocates.

Meant to disarm the West.

Similar to property rights being the right to exclude others. It inverts the usual notion that property is a right to possess.

There is a logical reason the legal rhetoric is inverted. The law can order other off your property, but can't (or shouldn't) order you onto it.

War is a label for mutual hostilities. Annexation of one country by another is not war unless hostilities break out.

What if they gave a war and nobody came?
Why then the war will come to you!
He who stays home when the fight begins
And lets another fight for his cause
Should take care:
He who does not take part
In the battle will share in the defeat.
Even avoiding battle will not avoid Battle,
since not to fight for your own cause really means
Fighting in behalf of your enemy’s cause.

Bertolt Brecht

Normal people. That’s the term that will gain more traction as the war between the left and basically everyone else heats up. The left can try to confuse the term “normal” with their Orwellian pretzel logic but if you stand true and don’t waiver,nothing pisses them off more.

It took some work for me to figure out what OBushinton means.

Tweeting is not fighting back.

Also in the case of a situation where the extreme left has amassed this much power, not fighting back does not equate to just losing. It will mean pogroms and mountains of skulls.

...and when the war was over, made sure that the Soviets got the critical nuclear design information they needed to overcome our advantages....

FDR's powerful close aide, Harry Hopkins, virtually controlled Lend Lease production and disbursements with just his signature or a phone call. This Red Agent of influence had Canadian sourced Uranium sent to the USSR before anyone had an idea of what is was for, well before the Rosenberg spy ring stole the actual plans. See Diana West's "American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on America's Character".

Correct. I’m making corrections as we go along. It’s a work in progress (with some grammatical and spelling errors)

Thanks for all the comments. Have made some corrections (Moynihan not Clinton) and updated grammar and spelling on the blog.

“It remains to be seen if Trump, who is unique in the political world, will prevail or will be over-run by a horde or totalitarian Luddites who worship strange beliefs about the earth.”

If he’s overrun by a horde of luddites it will largely be the fault of us Normals whose contribution to this war is to maybe vote every four years and then go back to sleep and occasionally type away in a blog while leaving him alone to be eviscerated by the wolves.

You can hardly blame our so called “spineless” representatives for running and hiding when they get viciously attacked by the pack of wolves on the left with zero visible support from us.

We need to return to the Tea Party days and take to the streets and get into people’s faces, and I guarantee that most of our “spineless” representatives will miraculously grow a spine.

Very good article but no mention of the ‘Republicans’ who supported(or preferred) Hillary. That was the true colors revealing. As for WW2 the Pat Buchanans amongst us felt we should have stayed away. Let the Germans consolidate all Germans.

“Republicans gave us lip service when they courted our vote but were careful never to actually do anything to support our values while in office. If they were called on their failure to deliver on their promises, they whined that they just didn’t have the votes and asked for money for the next election when they promised - pinkie swear – that next time they would keep their pledges. But next time never came because it was all a show; “boob bait for the Bubbas” as Bill Clinton so eloquently put it.”

The GOPe would rather risk losing the majority in an election than actually advance the stated agenda of their party. The blocking & tackling necessary to pass an agenda is so beneath them. The other side isn’t much better, but their ideology controls the Media, courts and academia so they can enact much of their ideology without getting too mussed up. So my question is “why do we need congress”? Doesn’t matter which side holds the majority they seem to focus all their energy in building their personal wealth and letting the Swamp steadily steer the country leftward.

“He is for the time being, but Conrad always has a Plan B and is ready to flip on a moment’s notice.

You just described about 99.9999% of our so called allies/friends.

Did you have a good summer?

Any new books re our Deep State Thugs?

“Sun-Tsu said that the true objective of the general is the destruction of the enemy’s willingness to fight.

This has been the true war over the last few decades, going after our willingness to fight back. It has been decreed to be illegitimate to resist the Leftist agenda in any way. Anyone who does not bow down is destroyed professionally and ostracized from public life.”

You nailed this. Proof is the Korean War, the Nam Fiasco and all of our involvement in the middle East.
