Buchanan: The Coming Era of Civil Disobedience
World News Daily ^ | July 9, 2015 | Pat Buchanan

Posted on 07/09/2015 7:50:45 PM PDT by campaignPete R-CT

The Oklahoma Supreme Court, in a 7-2 decision, has ordered a monument of the Ten Commandments removed from the state Capitol.

Calling the Commandments “religious in nature and an integral part of the Jewish and Christian faiths,” ... monument must go.

Gov. Mary Fallin has refused. And Oklahoma lawmakers instead have filed legislation to let voters cut out of their constitution the specific article the justices invoked. Some legislators want the justices impeached.

Fallin’s action seems a harbinger of what is to come in America – an era of civil disobedience like the 1960s, where court orders are defied and laws ignored in the name of conscience and a higher law.

Only this time, the rebellion is likely to arise from the right.

SNIP

U.S. Supreme Court decisions have been defied and those who defied them lionized by modernity. Thomas Jefferson freed all imprisoned under the sedition act, including those convicted in court trials presided over by Supreme Court justices. Jefferson then declared the law dead.

If a family disagreed as broadly as we Americans do on issues so fundamental as right and wrong, good and evil, the family would fall apart, the couple would divorce, and the children would go their separate ways.

Something like that is happening in the country.

A secession of the heart has already taken place in America, and a secession, not of states, but of people from one another, caused by divisions on social, moral, cultural and political views and values, is taking place.

America is disuniting, Arthur Schlesinger Jr. wrote 25 years ago.

And for those who, when young, rejected the views, values and laws of Eisenhower’s America, what makes them think that dissenting Americans in this post-Christian and anti-Christian era will accept their laws, beliefs, values?

Why should they?

It won’t be civil. Of that, I can assure you.

If illegal aliens can ignore the laws, then citizens can ignore the courts.

We need our own Tunisian street food vendor first:

It might be Kate Steinle, but I don’t think so.

Don’t forget, the president and attorney general routinely ignore laws they don’t personally like. And they pretend to pass laws Congress refuses to enact.

ISIS wont have any American symbols they need to tear down when they get here. The Leftists will have already done it for them. Why do the locals put up with it? Hell on earth is coming and it won’t be pretty.

There was a time when both the threat of punishment and my own integrity kept me from doing wrong. However, as I have come to believe there is no loss of integrity when wronging a gangster (aka the US government), it is only fear of punishment that gives me pause.

Of the two factors, it was the integrity that was by far the strongest.

However, it is right to oppose tyranny.

a secession, not of states, but of people from one another

People can live a virtual life now.

Whether that's sustainable long-term, remains to be seen.

I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie’s Land I’ll take my stand,
to live and die in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie!
Away, away, away down south in Dixie!

There may not be any symbols at all, on the right or the left.

They will come next for our historical figures; it will start with confederate generals, one after another, then Washington, Jefferson and even Lincoln for what he said that he would allow slavery if it would preserve the Union. It will never end. PC freedom of speech suppression will continue and get worse.

However, this is a two way street. Most of the leftist heroes were severely flawed humans, also. Why should they be immune?

“It won’t be civil. Of that, I can assure you.”

Indeed.

They gave it to us, and we will return it with interest.

Very very high interest.

When the left conducted a campaign of civil disobedience, the establishment didn't know how to handle it, and so backed off.

When the right embarks on organized civil disobedience, the left will know exactly what to do.

And you are right, it won't be civil.

Christians, pseudo and quasi and genuine, have allowed the godless animals of the left hijack education, entertainment and government for 50 years. I’m skeptical that the country can be recovered. Can homosexuals be forced back “into the closet?” I’m not sure. And the events in the article take place in OK. Lot’s of deviant behavior here as well.

I agree this time Civil Disobedience will be coming from the Right.

I remember this tag from a post on IMBD.

“Evil’s violence will one day confront the violence of the Righteous” (It won’t be pretty)

Not when one side of the split requires the other side for the means of survival.
