The Rage of the Plantation Owners(the left)

Thanks for the link, was informative. We could use a few General Lee’s in this day and age that’s for certain.

I pretty much agree with your premise. However, while the States Rights issue was foremost in the South, I think the North while being for a slightly stronger federal government, the foremost issue was the immorality of slavery. Unfortunately, the South never could untie their connection of states rights and slavery. Had the South been able to do that and eliminate slavery on their own the Civil War might never have been fought. At the conclusion of the war and during the period of Reconstruction the government grabbed huge amounts of power at the expense of the states both north and south. Most of this power grab was done constitutionally though I concede the argument that requiring the states in rebellion to pass the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments as a condition for re-entry into the Union could be described as coercive or under duress. “To the victors go the spoils.”

As for today’s left, their overreach began with Wilson and WW1. Slowed with Harding and Coolidge, picked up pace with Hoover and began in earnest with FDR continuing to today. Modern day conservatism began with William F. Buckley and a purge of the extreme right of the day.(Birchers mostly) Yet in most ways remained very small until LBJ and the “Great Society” along with the “War on Poverty” social programs Medicare/Medicaid, expansion of welfare programs, Ted Kennedy’s immigration reform of 1965, etc. Most of dubious constitutionality. Nixon and Ford continued government expansion and today would be considered RINOs. But that’s because the Scoop Jackson wing of the democrats ceased to exist for all practical purposes with the rise of the anti-war, anti military, militant feminism, pro abortion, nuclear disarmament, and political environmentalism, gun control, wing of the party. Carter’s draft amnesty and subsequent pacifism in the face of rising threats to our security in the Middle East and Central America and Eastern Europe led to the ascendancy and domination of conservative philosophy at least at the Executive branch level with the election of the greatest 20th century president Ronald Reagan.

I could go on but this comment is long enough already. In short, I agree with the proposition that “The Left Is Desperate That It Is About To Lose Everything.”

The MSM is the head of the snake that is the Left—Cut it off, and the snake dies. (Sorry, is that too uncivil?)

My small role has been to call-up local advertisers and ask them, for example, if they think I am an accessory to murder and would they prefer that I take my business elsewhere.

Excellent! We all must do what we can to restore the Constitutional Republic. I applaud your efforts!

Thanks.

You should hear some of the responses I get.
