Why Americans Must Stand Up to the Left’s Power Grab
The Daily Signal ^ | June 12, 2020 | Mike Gonzalez

Posted on 06/15/2020 3:48:28 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Parts of the movement started by widespread revulsion at the murder of George Floyd have metastasized into a power grab by hard leftists.

Their aim goes beyond dismantling the police—likely to have an early sell-by date—but targets the suppression of such tenets of liberalism as speech and property rights.

Conservatives who want to conserve the republic as it is need to gird up for this battle.

For a brief, ephemeral moment, the country came together in condemnation of Floyd’s death in police custody in Minneapolis. But a crisis is a terrible thing to waste, so those who want to change America root and branch, because they see it as an experiment not worth preserving, sensed an opportunity for their agenda.

Have no illusion: They are seizing the moment.

“These protesters have begun to create a new movement—one that aims to rework society,” wrote Sean Collins in Vox on June 4. The protests are a reminder, he went on, that “there is something very wrong with American society, all of it, everywhere, and that people across the nation want something new.”

You should believe people when they are this direct.

Yes, years of being told by their teachers and professors that America was a hideous creature, an indoctrination that kicked into high gear with the pseudo-historian Howard Zinn and followed by his many copycats, including the current 1619 curriculum by The New York Times, has not stayed behind ivied walls or state campuses.

They were never meant to. The leftist ideologues indoctrinated youth because they knew they would get compliant adults. Think Napoleon’s kidnapping the puppies at the start of “Animal Farm” and then, unexpectedly later on in the book, unleashing them on Snowy once they were grown up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Republic was over on Usurpation Day when both parties abrogated the Constitution by swearing in an ineligible man as President.

Someone posted a list on Facebook of all the things the U.S. should do at the border between the U.S. and CHAZ, and within CHAZ, where they are using U.S. utilities without paying for them.

Do you think so? I’m seeing Soccer Moms repeating these idiotic mantras. It’s amazing how palatable these Marxists have made their ideas.

If the DEMONcRAT Party regains the White House, it's every God Fearing Constitution Loving Patriotic Man, Woman and Child for themselves.

Then again, after what the SCOTUS Pulled off today making up new Discrimination Law and eviscerating the Second Amendment, it's probably too late anyway.

Who can we count on to gird up for battle?

Mitch McConnell
Paul Ryan
Kevin McCarthy
Richard Burr
Susan Collins
Lisa Murkowski
Secretary of Defense Esper
Generals Mattis, Kelly and Milley
Perhaps Mitt Romney

If there is going to be a fight, the self proclaimed “conservative” GOP will be AWOL. As we’ve noticed the last 2 weeks, they are certainly silent.
