because most on the right have either been compromised and blackmailed or else they found they love the power and secretly joined the left.
The article’s basic premise is flawed. The U.S. has effectively been a communist country for more than 100 years.
Who are the Bolsheviks?…
The communists took over because the public wouldn’t willingly vote for them.
It be RINOs letting it happen, e.g. McConnell.
This author is full of garbage on so many different levels.
bump for later read. What I’ve read so far is excellent.
The elements of this werew always there, but this is was really done to us by Bush/Cheney, the WOT and the Iraq invasion. It was the deadly coaltion of:
1. globalism
2. crony capitalism
3. the radical left.
The deals was that the radical left get whatever they want in support of the other two elements. The only things that got screwed in this deal were the Amercian taxpayers and future generations who got saddled with what is not $33+++ Trillion in debt and a deepstate that is operating exra-constitutionally.
Well non communists can’t say they weren’t warned. We’ve been screaming about the threat of domestic communism for a generation. The author wonders what the last straw will be that incites civil war. Maybe if the Democrats steal the 2024 election will be the breaking point.
Unfortunately, the Left appeals to the female vote much more effectively than the Right can. Much of the Woke mind virus targets women.
<>Our habitual assumption, as we call on Americans to “wake up,” is that once awakened (awoken?), they will vote for the right candidates, support the right parties, and donate to the right “nonprofit” groups, who will do battle for the right solutions. In short, they will build a new political class and hope it is somehow better than the previous one. But it does not work that way.<>
<>The only way to loosen the politicos’ grip is to restore the sovereignty of the unpaid citizen.<>
Yes, through an Article V Convention of the States.
the problem with the folks on the right is too many still cannot or will not accept that there is no compromising with the leftists. they still don’t believe we are in an actual War with the left for control of America. “conservatives seek agreement while liberals demand compliance” L.Star
Joseph Sobran and others noted this a while back. It’s because the vast majority of Americans believe in the idea of progress. People who consider themselves conservative every bit as much as those who consider themselves liberal accept this premise, the idea that today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow will be better than today. Liberals want to force a hideous egalitarian outcome on everything while conservatives champion markets, but each path bulldozes the past. The idea that the old ways are better than the new ways has never been a successful sales pitch in America.
BUMP
“But it is the professional conservatives themselves, with their lobbies and law firms (ostensibly “Christian” or not), that pushed the churches out of active public engagement — or gave them the excuse to run away.”
I recall saying the Lord’s Prayer every morning at school. I believe it was the godless Left that brought forth the “separation clause” and pushed God out of our public schools. Could the Right have fought it and won?
The DemocRATS keeps winning because they are ORGANIZED and united in one main goal, gaining POWER. They are always planning, scheming, and thinking of ways to game the system. Modifying obscure election laws, inventing new ways of ballot harvesting, putting operatives in positions of power, etc. Republicans are oblivious to this, and even after they get their azzes handed to them, they take no action. They have NO PLANS, NO Strategy, make NO effort to counter what the Dems are doing. It’s been over 3 years since the last election was lost to shady/criminal RAT tactics. What have the Repubs done to change this? NOTHING. They have NO plan to win the next election, they’ve made NO effort to counter the RAT advantages that have been put in place. Guess what, it’s too late to start now. We are facing the most critical election in the nation’s history, and the Republican party is as useless as a bunch of cats hitched to a dogsled.
Lately I’ve been harping on the notion that government at every level needs a mechanism to monitor and enforce fidelity to the Constitution as a way to prevent agitators from holding public office or voting.
For example, no one in good concience can take the oath on the one hand, and advocate for abortion on the other. Weed them out at the root. No public office and no voting for turds that would swim in our punch bowl.
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. (Proverbs 1:29-33 [KJV])
A nation may overcome adversity, and affliction, but the final test is that of affluence. In the context of an unprecedented high standard of living, the decline of living, evangelical faith is corespondent with the moral decline of the culture, the voting of which reveals what they believe is a priority.
While evangelicals have long professed to be the most conservative major voting block (voting 74% to 80% GOP for decades in presidential elections), yet they largely lost their own young - and (as with Catholics) embraced contraception thus having less of them - as well as overall not effectually engaging those without, and with many preaching a gospel of salvation by ineffectual, non-Abrahamic faith.
What does the man on the street in most localities personally encounter that evidences that someone cares for their soul, and opposes sin, aside from cults?
In addition, to varying degrees and scope, the masses overall increasingly have rejected both the innate moral sense as well as the express word of God, running after idols of the heart and media and politics. Thus, the nation that once professed to be "one nation under God" increasingly becomes on nation under satan, as the United States of Sodom.
Due to the above, every generation since (add year here _______) has been the most Biblically ignorant and morally confused and immoral that America has ever raised. And increasingly lacking the basic attributes of reliable, faithful, industrious character which every nation must have to endure.
And along with the rise of mass media, of increasingly pervasive purveyors of persuasive, perversions of what God ordained, promoting Wokeducation and conformity and persecution of moral dissidents. then the decline of the nation has been hastened.
Yet it is the very thing that the church sought to escape, that of persecution, is what has become necessary to purge and purify it to a potent force thru a distinctive remnant, as judgment must begin at the house of God. (1 Peter 4:17; Ezekiel 9:3-6)
Meanwhile, the USA itself will realize chastisement via an increasing cohorts of enemies within and without.
To which applies:
Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. (Hosea 8:3-4) I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. (Hosea 8:12) For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. (Hosea 8:14) .
The only people to blame for poverty nowadays are the people who caused it: themselves.
The people to blame for fatherless families are the fathers and mothers who copulated and then effectively abandoned their offspring by failing to raise them in an intact household to become God-fearing, independent and productive.
The Rats, misguided or sinister (or both) in trying to solve this essentially moral problem by subsidizing it, are secondarily to blame, but really not the source of the problem.
Next all the social problems arose: the drugs, alcoholism, violent crime, the vote buying, the corruption of misspent funds to politicos here and abroad, and on and on .. ALL of that derives from the dependency of the poor.
The absolute LAST people you should blame are the conservatives. They were quietly minding their own business, going to work and to church, paying their taxes.
They were drawn into this mess voluntarily as charitable individuals, or involuntarily as overtaxed and abused citizens, trying to help the underclass.
Conservatives are clearly not to be blamed for the original mess.
But this author blames us for somehow being unable to correct the laziness, evil tendencies and worthlessness of the underclass, and the venality and corruptibility of the Rat class who manage them.
I say bullsh*t.
It began with the individual in his childhood.
He sat at his desk in school and was told to work.
He said instead, non serviam.
I know what I say sounds harsh and cruel, but in fact, it is the exact opposite.
In America today, where the most serious diseases among the poor are morbid obesity, STDs, and alcoholism and drug dependency and HCV; where multiple cars and cellphones are the rule; where every home has ownership of what I would have called a supercomputer in 1980, along with a firearm or two, along with infinite, free, access to all educational opportunities available from elementary school to graduate physics classes at MIT, all without lifting a finger or paying a dime,
The problem is not with conservatives.
ANY good and decent “thing” will eventually draw snakes and rats, who will come wearing sheep’s clothing and spend all the time they need to worm their way in and undermine until they have full control. Then they will bleed it dry for their own furtherance.
This is life on this planet. It’s human nature. Inspired by satan himself..
