Last week Thursday Joe Biden took to the stage to deliver a prime-time address from Independence Hall in Philadelphia. This is the place that we shall remember this month, September 17, 1787, where our US Constitution was signed establishing the longest running constitutional Republic that the world has known. You would have thought that in that moment it would have been imperative of the leader of this great Nation to rally us, bring us together and talk about the beginnings of this Republic, our respect and regard for the rule of law and individual rights, freedom, and liberty…personal sovereignty.
The Constitution of the United States of America, signed there in Independence, or Constitution, Hall is a restraining document on the powers of the federal government. As well, it was not ratified by the respective States until it included an individual Bill of Rights, our first ten amendments. Funny, ol’ Joe Biden once quipped that no amendment to the Constitution is absolute.
And I guess this is where I will make my hypothesis; it is time we stop seeking reason from the progressive socialist left. So many articles, social media posts, and commentary have been published in the aftermath of Biden’s quite disturbing rant. However, the progressive socialist left fully believes it was a great speech. Never mind the ominous and eerie choice of color backdrop on Independence Hall, or the use of two US Marines standing in the background. Never mind the direct targeting of a portion of Americans and their demonization as fascists while declaring them a threat. Biden could have also directed comments towards groups like Antifa and BLM who have been responsible for some of the worst violence, destruction, and death in America.
Nope.
Joe Biden took the political path of least resistance and squarely placed a target on some Americans–mainly those who disagree with him. Think about it; every time a Republican in recent years has been elected President he has been declared by the left as illegitimate. And even on Donald Trump’s inauguration day there were violent protests in Washington DC. Remember the ensuing women’s march where Madonna admitted to wanting to blow up the White House?
Joe Biden stood there before the place where our Constitution was signed, and he is in violation of Article IV, Section 4 of that document. Yes, his open borders policy is a clear violation of the Guarantee Clause. But I am speaking of reasonable issues which have little to no meaning for the leftists. History is sadly repeating itself in a very disconcerting and dangerous manner in America. Leftists, Marxists, socialists, communists must have a target. Even Saul Alinsky referred to such in his rules for radicals. This targeting process gives them a deranged perceived right to destroy the declared opposition. Sen. Schumer says Gorsuch and Kavanaugh shall reap the whirlwind and next thing you know there is an assassination attempt against Justice Kavanaugh. The Congressional GOP is demonized so someone takes to opening fire upon their baseball team practice. Churches and pro-life centers are firebombed, vandalized, Trump supporters are beaten in the streets, some in Portland, Denver, and Milwaukee are even murdered…no big deal to leftists.
The time has come when we must realize that we cannot reason with those who believe that their designed ideological ends justify any means they use.
The progressive socialists do not care that America has a drug, human, and sex trafficking issue–they want open borders. The leftists do not care that violent crime is out of control because of their bail reform agenda—they just blame Republicans. The leftists will starve our children of lunch if schools do not teach their gender dysphoria agenda–they don’t want to educate our children.
There is a saying, “Come, let us reason together.” Tyrants and totalitarians do not seek reason, they seek power and control, and demand obedience, conformity, and subjugation…abject surrender. Joe Biden spoke of fascists. Tell me, who is running about in America censoring free speech and freedom of expression? Funny, Antifa stands for “Anti-Fascists,”but these idiots go about beating down people who speak in opposition to their leftist beliefs.
Joe Biden crossed a Rubicon from which I do not know there is a reconciliation. Under the quite demonic aura presented on Thursday night he spoke not of unity, but of punishment for non-conformity. Hence why the federal government needs 87,000 new IRS agents who must be comfortable with being armed and the use of deadly force.
Biden and his terrorizing flying monkeys believe that the Thursday night speech was phenomenal, brilliant, and spot on. They are indeed what drill sergeants refer to as “stuck on stupid”, and the ol’ drill sergeants would say, “you can’t fix stupid.” We have come to a point in America where you cannot reason with it either. Despots and dictators demonize their opposition to make their destruction more palatable. When you seek a discussion based upon truth, then again leftists do not believe in objective truths, and you’re only met with frothing screaming emotional invectives…there is no opportunity for reason.
There is no opportunity to seek compromise with those will not participate in good faith. They must be beaten at the polls. And then Republicans must have the guts to beat them back with public policy that promotes individual liberty.
I am not saying give up. I am saying as Thomas Paine stated in his pamphlet The Crisis, “THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”
The Left is under the control of Dark Forces and cannot be reasoned with.
“Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984
You cannot reason with a fool. It only creates another fool...................
I’m meeting with a bunch of lefties this Saturday as part of a meetup group. I love watching them screech about Trump. I’ll throw my usual, “so what is the solution?” at them so I can be called a racist.
Good times.
Why?
The opposition party has long since abandoned governing. They no longer believe in the American dream. They are new-age Communists who only seek raw power by the swat of the scythe and the blow of a sledgehammer. They have not a single positive program to offer America. Their overall mission is to destroy, which ultimately includes humanity. Call it what it is - demonic.
I would LOVE for Conservatives to consolidate power to the point that the left and their putrid ideology is permanently banned from society, except in their own little obscure corners away from view.
That’s right. It is counterproductive and a waste of time and needed energy.
Dear Colonel West,
See my tag line.
Best,
L
Why are you meeting with a bunch of Leftists?
You got to have not just the votes but enough of a margin to overcome voter fraud.
They think reasoning with conservatives is futile, but they keep trying and don’t quit. This strengthens their resolve and earns them points with wavering neutrals, the true objects of their shouting.
Proverbs 18:2 ESV
A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.
Proverbs 1:7 ESV
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 29:9 ESV
If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.
Proverbs 10:23 ESV
Doing wrong is like a joke to a fool, but wisdom is pleasure to a man of understanding.
“Why are you meeting with a bunch of Leftists?”
Strictly for entertainment value. I rarely if ever speak, although last time I attended their meeting, I spent 5 hours with them. Confirmed that liberalism is a mental disorder. This meeting is their membership meeting and setting the agenda for their annual conference. I wouldn’t miss this for the world.
There can be no compromise with the Demonicrat Party of lies, murder, and treason.
Thanks. You’re a tough individual. It’s good to know what the enemy is up to.
In the beginning there was “Right” and “Wrong” and we’ve been compromising in the WRONG direction ever since.
Good ones. Thanks.
How do you reason with people who want you dead?
