I am pointing out reality.
I have said this many times over the last few weeks.
Conservatives preach logic, reason, and law.
Liberals practice emotion, power, and violence.
Guess which one is more effective?
Why would you expect a mother to take a stand when she knows what will happen to her kids if she does? Or a father whose adoptive children are perhaps not legal as could be. Or the one who has lived and worked in DC for decades?
Was it cowardly? Yes. Most people are cowards. Most people on FR are cowards. Hell, at times I am. I would prefer to live a quiet life.
But to expect 9 people to take on the Swamp is mad. It isn’t going to happen. The SCOTUS judges did not get to where they are without knowing how the game is played.
And people keep expecting some sort of Deus Ex Machina to appear and do the work. Here is what you, and everyone here needs to internalize.
There is no one coming. You must self rescue. No one is going to help.
Be free, but don’t expect anyone to do ANYTHING for you. Live morally, but don’t expect others will do so. Be honorable, but know that the reason Honor was held up as something to aspire to is because it is so rare.
But first you have to acknowledge reality. And that begins with realizing institutions will do the easy thing to minimize their discomfort before doing anything to help. The Catholic church hid horrible abuses for decades, because facing the fact they had a problem with devil worshiping buggery was embarrassing. An institution dedicated to God and morals used that ego to bugger children.
The Boy Scouts knew they had an assault problem. They chose to hide it in order to protect their standing. Now they are going to die.
And don’t get me started on the crap in schools. That makes both the Catholic church and the boy scouts look like small fish.
Now those two institutions had a lot more reason to be honorable, to do the right thing. And they chose the easy way out. Covered it up. Blamed the victim. Accused the people trying to protect their loved ones as evil.
Yet somehow, the kings in black dresses who have been selected by political appointment and vote by the “swamp” are supposed to be computers that rule according to the law.
They are not. They took the Ticket in order to get where they are. They have betrayed us with so many small things, why would they be faithful on a big thing?
No one is coming. It is up to us. Do what you can and put not your faith in Princes.
