Parental rights provide the line in the sand over which, should the Left successfully cross, you will no longer be a parent or a sovereign citizen of a free republic.
In what history will record as one of the most egregious perversions, the Left projects its own sins onto its victims to transmogrify progressive oppressors into faux victims. It is a personal and political justification and weaponization that, by its very audaciousness, can leave opponents momentarily dumbstruck. During their initial stupefaction, a dissenting citizenry is at the greatest risk of being subsumed by the Left’s repressive, collective insanity.
Often, the citizens find it impossible to believe what the Left is doing, as it is so mind-numbingly hard to comprehend rational actors engaging—indeed, celebrating—their outrageous conduct and injurious aims, while claiming to be victims.
Parental rights prove both the point and provide the line in the sand over which, should the Left successfully cross, you will no longer be a parent or a sovereign citizen of a free republic.
Among those organizations captured during the Left’s long march through the institutions, three powerful entities are painting their outrageous actions as noble and themselves as victims; and they are demanding the Biden Administration’s politically weaponized Department of Justice stifle all dissent to these entities’ radical policies in support of surgically altering the sex of children.
Per the Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra:
The American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, and Children’s Hospital Association all signed the letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, urging the administration to ‘investigate the organizations, individuals, and entities’ that it claimed were ‘coordinating’ and ‘provoking’ outrage online directed at those providing the controversial services.
Obtained by Christopher Rufo of the Manhattan Institute, the letter has all the illiberal hallmarks of the progressive mind, starting with its use of therapeutic political language to claim victimhood and demand the censorship and persecution of all dissent. (It should sound depressingly familiar, as it is the same narrative the Left uses to indoctrinate college students into embracing censorship, i.e., Marcuse’s “repressive tolerance.”)
These coordinated attacks threaten federally protected rights to health care for patients and their families. The attacks are rooted in an intentional campaign of disinformation, where a few high-profile users on social media share false and misleading information targeting individual physicians and hospitals, resulting in a rapid escalation of threats, harassment, and disruption of care across multiple jurisdictions. Our organizations have called on technology companies to do more to prevent this practice on digital platforms, and we now urge your office to take swift action to investigate and prosecute all organizations, individuals, and entities responsible.
In sum, these organizations want to end the freedom of association, censor freedom of speech, and prevent the free association of their opponents. Having already attempted to have opponents censored by Big Tech, these organizations now implicitly demand the government collude with these private sector entities’ censors to do it. Most of all, of course, they want the federal government to use its police powers to persecute and silence their opponents.
As Rufo succinctly concludes, “This is now the Left’s playbook: last year, the National School Board Association, Department of Justice, and F.B.I. worked together to label parents who opposed critical race theory ‘domestic terrorists.’ They want to stifle dissent, suppress speech, and criminalize opposition.”
At root, this is the progressive hubris writ large: “We know what is best for you and your children.” Why? Because they’re credentialled experts and you’re just a parent. You are not permitted to disagree. If you try, the Left will deem you a danger to your children, in particular, and society, in general.
The leftist collective is already prepping to take your children from you. Consider this Daily Wire report by Luke Rosiak, wherein “a Virginia pro-trans group with Democratic ties says it will help gender-confused students leave their families and ‘rehome’ them with new ‘queer friendly’ guardians.”
I don’t doubt that the left is planning to take children from homes that don’t meet wokeness standards. I just wonder how many parents would consider that to be the line in the sand.
I think the Pied Piper was a commie.
“a Virginia pro-trans group with Democratic ties says it will help gender-confused students leave their families and ‘rehome’ them with new ‘queer friendly’ guardians.”
In better days a group of fathers would get together and deal with this bunch of freaks very quietly and very, very permanently.

Get ready. They are planning to take kids from their parents if the parents don’t “use” their “pronouns.”
Total control over speech. Total control over parents. Total control over children.
I didn’t think the Constitution would be openly trashed so soon. I thought it would be in 40-50 years. I was wrong.
The Father is going to deal with these freaks when His only begotten Son returns, and it is going to be very publicly and eternally done.
Keep your eye out for my upcoming book, “Creative Uses for Woodchippers.”
In Dickens’ “Great Expectation”, Pip’s protagonist threatens to kill him in a high-powered kiln. Pretty good way of getting rid of a body in 19th century technology.
“ The Father is going to deal with these freaks when His only begotten Son returns.”
That’s great. But what are we to do in the meantime?

The Revelation to John says something about how bad things will get. They aren’t even hitting their stride.
C.S. Lewis said that pain is God’s megaphone to a lost world. The volume limiter is about to come off.
That said, one thing I do is pray for kids when I see them, say if out shopping, both them and their parents. They need prayer because these are perilous trending to horrific times for kids. They need more and better than I to pray for them, for I’m no genius at prayer. Thankfully the Holy Spirit takes to the very considerable slack, as we are told.
That’s all well and good.
But my question still stands.

“That’s great. But what are we to do in the meantime?”
Pinochet and Franco would have some constructive suggestions.
Though one should find such suggestions distasteful, the glee with which collectivists propose their tyrannical outrages explains why those solutions have been historically necessary.

We can peacefully submit, or we can fight back. They leave us no choice. There can be no compromise or accomodation. I look forward to the American people realizing this.
