Never Give an Inch: The Wrong Side Knows That It's Losing
American Thinker ^ | 07/02/2020 | Deanna Chadwell

Posted on 07/02/2020 5:41:46 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

With the lawless events of the last few weeks (months, counting the overreach of many state governments in the COVID panic) have left me acutely aware of my own human desire for order, and I have to take a deep breath whenever I find myself wishing Trump would just whip out the military and put a stop to it all. But that’s what the desperate Democrats want -- the Rules for Radicals vindication -- create so much chaos that the masses beg for someone to take control. But we can’t let that happen. So I would like to suggest a new motto for conservatives and libertarians alike. It comes from Ken Kesey’s novel, Sometimes a Great Notion -- “Never give a goddamn inch.

We don’t have any inches left. We can’t compromise or concede anything. They’re destroying our history, our economy, our connections with God. They want to tear apart our families and they’ve already made mockeries of our schools. This last spate of riots has to be the end. We can tolerate this Mad Hatter’s tea party no longer.

“Black Lives Matter?” Whoever said they didn’t? What does that even mean? Two hundred years ago when most American blacks were slaves -- even then -- black lives mattered -- they were money. There’s nothing even remotely rational in that slogan. What would they have chanted had Floyd been white? It looked to me like a terrible miscarriage of justice no matter what the color of his skin, so had he been, say, Jewish, would the rioters have been stealing TVs and torching cop cars? Would they have been chanting, “Jewish Lives Matter?”

So what does it mean? Not much. We abort black babies more often than babies of any other race, but those lives evidently don’t “matter.”

The wrong side knows that it’s losing. The left will try to cheat its way to the White House, but all they have to offer is a hollow shell of a man who never amounted to much in the first place. So, they will have to continue throwing fits, throwing up a smoke screen so no one notices that they have no candidate. This will be a long hot summer, a marathon of ugliness and lying and danger. And we have to be up for it.

They’ve already been given a mile. Too late for the inch part

Great graphic ... and it reinforces something that an astute Freeper posted a couple of weeks ago: Nothing is more pathetic than a "revolution" where you're told to vote for a 77 year-old racist named Joe Biden who has been a fixture in Washington for more than 50 years.

Two hundred years ago when most American blacks were slaves -- even then -- black lives mattered -- they were money.

Unfortunately, the big government & big business types still look at them this way.

We conservatives see them a human beings with a soul. We want to help them actualize their potential not for political gain, but for their own benefit.

Quoting Selwyn Duke, writing at the American Thinker:

There no longer is a culture war. What is occurring now is a pacification effort.

Its progress is why corporate America, including the now-absorbed Chick-fil-A and NASCAR, has turned decidedly to the dark side (shifted “left”).

It’s why prominent people, including weak kneed Republicans such as Indiana senator Mike Braun, are bowing before terrorist group Black Lives Matter. It’s why mobs are enabled and good people hobbled for defending themselves from the mobs. It’s why we’re seeing a complete cultural collapse — portending a political collapse.

This is partially due to a new “woke” generation having entered the corporate sphere and others of influence. But what did you expect? The apocryphal saying (no, it’s not Lincoln’s) informs, “The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.” Did you really think the Left could completely control academia for generations and that, somehow, it all would “stay in college”?

Leftists have also controlled entertainment, which could even be more significant. A (perhaps loose) paraphrase of ancient Greek philosopher Plato warns, “When modes of music change, the fundamental laws of the state change with them.”

Now, though, we have television and the Internet, whose effects I’ve examined, which dwarf music’s influence. Then there’s the aforementioned media (conventional and social). This culture-shaping media/academia/entertainment triad has long been leftist-controlled, the result of the long Gramscian “march through the institutions,” the rotten fruits of all our squandered yesterdays.

Then there’s our 1965-born immigration policy, which, I’ve estimated, gives Democrats 300,000 new voters yearly, three million a decade. And when the Democrats assume full control, they’ll legalize the illegal aliens among us and open the floodgates further (goodbye, wall), giving themselves perhaps tens of millions of new voters in short order.

So Democrat presidential sock puppet Joe Biden, echoing the man whose name he couldn’t recall a while back (because echoes are all he has left), not long ago said we had to “fundamentally” change America. But that fundamental change has already occurred. Does the 2020 U.S. even remotely resemble its few-generations-back former self?

So the question isn’t what’s coming, but this: Will you be ready? When leftists take full political control federally, they’ll mercilessly impose their agenda as they always do. If you have no idea what that agenda is, you’re likely not reading this. But do know that it will be effected no-holds-barred.

Perhaps it is time fro qualifiers......... Black criminal lives don’t matter

When black criminals violently resist arrest they forfeit their right to live. The civil right of the cp to a safe work place, free from harm and threat of loss of lif, is more important to the American society than that os a parasitic ner do well criminal.

When will the media start analyzing a significant root of the problems, the breakdown of the family and the absence of fathers in the family? Why can’t we subsidize stable, two parent families and not subsidize single parent families?

Corporate endorsements just might mean the end of this revolution.

Actually, we do subsidize two parent families by providing tax deductions

Speaker Ryan did it

I’ve been thinking this the last day.

Slogan as simple and straight as possible:

NOT ONE INCH

no longer in letters or syllables than that.

When?

Never.

Earlier it was announced that President Trump had aquired a vote of 34% of black citizens.

That simple announcement triggered everything now in process. All the leftwing mayors are allowing the black trash to destroy their cities in hopes of reversing the 34% trend.

Democrats absent the black vote just disappear. Poof......gone

So, to attack the lack of black family structure just ain’t gonna happen.

Now you know why BLM will never hold the liberals accountable for locating most of their abortion clinics in black areas. If they did, the corporate donations would cease. BLM knows they can riot and loot, but they can’t risk alienating the karens.
