Nothing like trying to kick someone when they're down. Jordan Peterson seems to be a favorite target nowadays. They did a hit piece on him recently that was so bad he had to post the complete audio interview to show how slanted it was.

And we're only a month into this nightmare.

Ed West is obviously a hack and not serious, attempting a polemic in an invented premise.

It is now and has always been in our hands.

Many, including myself, have talked Very Tough Smack through the years.

But through the first coup, the statues being torn down, the second coup and stolen election, we still type.

So I have stopped talking smack because I’m obviously not backing it up.

There was a lot of talk about “the tree of liberty” and how it needs to be fed with the blood of patriots every now and again.

If we didn’t act when a successful coup stole the potus election, I can’t imagine we will ever act in that way.

And the guys on the board who for 20 years have been saying “they must want a civil war” should stop saying it.

After a few decades it sounds like ridiculous huffing and puffing

It’s ALWAYS up to us.

We choose not to step up in that way.

“ The future appears progressive and their defeat is inevitable, part of an ‘arc of history’ that leads irrevocably to a progressive utopia in which they’re left in the dustbin.”

“It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”

Since Christians tend to be conservatives, they are not on the wrong side of history .

GOD wins.

Not the left, nor the democrats, blm, or antifa.

When Jesus returns, the left is going to be forced to bend the knee to Him whom they hate the most.

And I will get a great deal of satisfaction watching it.

Jordan Peterson has only succeeded at ruining his health with his endless logical arguments against the impenetrable, illogical left. Clues to succeed at what you really need are here.

“The post-totalitarian system touches people at every step, but it does so with its ideological gloves on. This is why life in the system is so thoroughly permeated with hypocrisy and lies: government by bureaucracy is called popular government; the working class is enslaved in the name of the working class; the complete degradation of the individual is presented as his or her ultimate liberation; depriving people of information is called making it available; the use of power to manipulate is called the public control of power, and the arbitrary abuse of power is called observing the legal code; the repression of culture is called its development; the expansion of imperial influence is presented as support for the oppressed; the lack of free expression becomes the highest form of freedom; farcical elections become the highest form of democracy; banning independent thought becomes the most scientific of world views; military occupation becomes fraternal assistance. Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics. It pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. It pretends to respect human rights. It pretends to persecute no one. It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing.”
― Václav Havel, The Power of the Powerless (Routledge Revivals): Citizens Against the State in Central-eastern Europe

The difference between “Progressives” and Conservatives is Conservatives view Government as a necessary nuisance and “Progressives” see government as oxygen.

The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.”

― Robert A. Heinlein

Let me get this straight. Sanity is on the “Wrong Side of History”? So, this author is praising the rise of China and Worldwide Fascism? Apparently.

Conservatism lost its power when it embraced immorality because it is popular. Trying to resue the movement by compromising principles is a lot like the church who thinks they can save The Creator by love and compromise. The left does not believe in compromise, so why should we. The republican that represent look ver much the same as dems.
Taking up arms will not fix this. It will leave our families and our country in ruin. We are not the winners in that battle.
This is not going to be won with bulkets, but by refusing to compromise. The dems will hang themselves, but we must endure it. We must be the party of freedom and truth and every good thing.

Conservatism won. President Trump won in 2016 and 2020 which is why the Uniparty had to cheat.

Thanks to alternative media, Conservatism has been defining its own members instead of having the Propaganda Press define Conservatives.

If we’re failing and on the wrong side of history how come the enlightened ones had to cheat to win this time around?

Being on the right, I’ve come to realize my anger is based on my disappointment in the GOP more then the idiocy of the left, which makes me feel sorry for them as the idiocy of the left is down right scary and illogical. While I disagree with the left, I don’t condone violence against the left. perhaps sedation of their most violent,..joking...

Flipside: If I were on the left I would be a raging lunatic, out to violently destroy opposing views because opposing views would disrupt my world view and need to be not only morally superior, but to be in dominance of opinion. Which is why, if I were in the left, I would feel and rationalize without thinking clearly, that opposing opinions would be deserving of my hatred. I

So glad I’m not on the left as the constant need to rage and conspire for moral superiority and moral dominance sounds exhausting.

I object to the language “right side of history”. This phrase implies that in addition that the progressive policies have been beneficial, when in act all that cash legitimately be argued is that progressives have convinced a majority that their policies should be implemented. Having a majority favor something does not imply that the policy will be beneficial.

If being on the right side of history is taken to only mean “won the political battle”, then sure, for the most part, it’s true that we’ve lost the political battles. How could it be otherwise? Not only has the left taken control of education and media, their policies are inherently attractive to those who aren’t savvy enough to understand the consequences. We tell people “You have to work hard and provide for yourself”. They say “Don’t worry, we’ll give you free stuff”. Which one is the average, unaware voter going to pick?

The breakdown of the family, especially in the black community, provides a good example of this. We all know the effects: black people today as compared to blacks in 1950 are much more likely to be born to single mothers, are more likely to suffer poverty and are more likely to vlbecome criminals. Why is that? The profs will inevitably blame systemic racism, but systemic racism certainly existed in 1950, and to a much grater degree than today. There were still Jim Crow laws, voter initimidation and suppression (No, progs, asking someone to prove their identity is NOT voter suppression; I’m referring to poll taxes, literacy tests and outright physical intimidation), lynchings, and state-sanctioned segregation in 1950. Sure, in the narrow sense of “We won the political battle”, the left was “on the right side of history” regarding the Great Society program in the 1960’s. In the larger sense off doing what is most beneficial for society, though, the whole “right side of history” narrative falls apart.

Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof? (Jeremiah 5:29-31)

They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. (Hosea 8:4)

I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. (Hosea 8:12)

Conservatism and Biblical evangelical faith must go together, and the assent of the Left is not due to superior intellectual arguments, but is because the sinless flesh of man flows South, and which prosperity - a daughter of true religion - paradoxically makes easier.

The GOP are professional losers, whose job is to make it look like they are fighters.

The GOP wants fighters, not winners.

Trump was a winner, ergo, he must be expelled.

It really could not be any simpler than that.
