We conservatives, by our quiet acquiescence over the past 70 years, have allowed this to happen.
We have allowed these people to rise to power. We let them take over schools and universities. We let them take over the media. We let them infest business and politics with their socialism and political correctness.
We have no one to blame but ourselves.
It seems “live and let live” is no longer a viable political philosophy.
On Domestic Affairs, as on foreign Affairs, VDH is a brilliant writer.
A revolt is coming.
The "State Sovereignty" movement is an example of that.
Look for a repudiation of both coasts, with the Heartland leading.
This has the scent of the 1970s and the Jarvis tax revolt.
I know I have been away. I am a Battered American serving in the US Army in Afghanistan. I have been ridiculed, lied about, and betrayed by the left for the entire US offensive portion of the GWOT (we were on the defensive/ignore it until 9-11-01). That is 7 years of being slandered and having the enemy propaganda reported by the left as “fact”.
We are now facing a resurgent Taliban that thinks since they “won” the US elections that they will “win” the war and destroy us. I am seeing the surge in Afghanistan CUT IN HALF even as the new administration lies about it and says they are doing what president Bush did not (Bush wanted 30k troops to go, Obama is at 17k).
I am watching, with a heavy heart, the rapid implementation of a National Socialist totalitarian police state in America under the leadership of the SAME people who projected and mislabeled conservatives like myself “NAZIs”.
I have seen a White House that goes after critics BY NAME during press conferences and doing who know what else with federal level investigators into those critics. I have seen an administration who tells gun owners that they have nothing to fear and already has several bills in place to eradicate civilian gun ownership and violate the 2nd Amendment.
I watch in horror as the left pushed a totally unqualified person into power based on race. A person whose character and connections disqualify him from obtaining a security clearance through normal channels. The left slanders MLK’s “Dream” of men being judged by character, not color. I see Lincoln slandered by totalitarian socialists who forget that Republicans put into place the first minority and female 4 Star Generals, the first black Chairman JCS, the first black and black female Sec of State (who the left call all sorts of racist and hateful names), the first Hispanic AG, had more than a few primary Presidential candidates (that the left slandered) and several other ‘firsts’ that the left spit on. I watch a totally unqualified, shady, Chicago political machine operative use a cult of personality to push his dreams of absolute power and quell ALL dissent. I see a national socialist President who says that people who work hard, save, and desire to keep their earnings are “making a virtue out of selfishness”!!!
I watch “patriotism” change from the conservative view of “defend you fellow people against aggression and not giving aid to our barbaric enemies nor stabbing our defenders in the back with lies” to the left’s view of “pay your taxes and shut up (or else)”.
I read the “news” (opinion) coming from the media as they gush about how great the new President is and how the Sec of State is going around bashing the former US President and “apologizing” for freeing millions and standing up for liberty. She then goes to such bastions of liberty like Indonesia (where Christians are burned and have acid poured on them) and China to promise closer ties and holding those nations up as virtuous!!!! The complete LACK of character and maturity from the left as they quest for absolute power is disgusting!!!!
I have heard these leftist cult followers with their “tingles up their leg” feelings (not thoughts) as they compare this President to one who served in the 1930s. Well, they are partially correct in a few ways:
1. FDR's policies failed and put us on the road to dependence and socialism. Likewise, lawyers who sued banks and forced them to loan money to those who could not/would not ever pay, took money from Freddy Mac/Fanny Mae and several other banking companies, and then BLOCKED all attempts by republicans to fix the problems, are NOW IN POWER and will soon control those banks. The socialists are going to “nationalize” the banking and then other industries. FDR's failed dream come true.
2. But Obama, his corrupt ilk, and his cult followers DO remind me of a socialist government in the 1930s. They remind me of Germany and reinforce my tag line. The tag line that has not changed in almost a decade of being on FR. The tag line that the left goes out to prove daily.
Back to being a Battered American before the “Civilian National Security Force” starts asking questions.
