Evil Never Takes a Holiday
American Thinker ^ | 10 Aug, 2023 | J.B. Shurk

Good people cannot compromise with the Marxist left.

Many good people whom I respect tell me that the Marxist left have already won and that there is no longer any point in fighting. I disagree for many reasons, but I will list three:

(1) History is simply saturated with pivotal moments that radically altered what otherwise appeared to be the course of destiny. In fact, I would say that history is really written only when good men and women find their backs against the wall and realize that the only way to preserve their free will is to fight like hell and buck everything that stands against them. Suffering has a tendency to focus the mind and strengthen resolve. Character truly reveals itself only when it is tested. I'll take a spirited and courageous insurgency that knows why it is fighting over an army of automatons enfeebled by groupthink.

(2) When fighting evil, there are no half-measures. There is no point when you kick back, light a cigarette, and say to yourself, "Dang, evil sure did get the best of me this time." Huh-uh. You fight evil even if you find yourself hanging with fingertips from a cliff's edge while the devil is smirking above and crushing your hand. It doesn't matter how compromised you feel; all you have to do is tell the devil to stick it where the sun don't shine. Your refusal to submit is your greatest weapon. Others will find inspiration in your indefatigability and push ahead, too.

(3) Even if you think things are irreversibly bad, apathy guarantees that they will get only worse. There will be a time in the future when you are being forcefully herded onto a train car headed for who knows where...

History has shown what the left will do.

History has also shown what a pissed off populace will do. The problem with politicians is that they don’t fear the people.

Evil must be confronted. Resistance is everything. Grab one weapon and hold it tightly: the truth.

I think it is probably going to take more than just the truth to stop the leftists.

From the article:

The petty totalitarians have moved from a marathon's pace to a sprint not because the finish line is just ahead, but because too many ordinary people have begun to figure out what is going on around them.

This explains the Leftist blitzkrieg on America since 2020.

Politicians don’t fear the people because we have become cowards who let them lie, cheat and steal from us while doing nothing other than waiting for the next election.

They run roughshod over us and they constantly shat all over the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as we yawn it off.

Exactly, the only truth to them is what they say.

"History has also shown what a pissed off populace will do." "The problem with politicians is that they don’t fear the people."

I think it's those on the right they don't fear.. The right are the hard working, law abiding folks that don't have the time nor the inclination to go rioting and looting.

But, I like to believe, there will come a time, a limit, or a point that will be one intrusion to many and THAT'S when, as they say, the feces will hit the ventilator, and it will be a challenge to find a lamppost that's not occupied...

I try and look at it as God allows it, maybe as judgement or to expose them. He is in control and has his reasons.

I think about the story of Jonah and Nineveh. Jonah went (very reluctantly!) To Nineveh to deliver a prophecy of doom, but Nineveh repented and this averted the disaster.

We can see the path our nation is on, and the question is what will we do about it?

It’s not like God is just playing with us like chess pieces—we too have agency in the matter: we must become at the least prayer warriors in defense.

I've heard that God helps those who help themselves.
