Thank you. That is more in line with how I feel, but this does feel different, and it bothers me.
But I am resolved to do something. As I said, I am trying to get involved at a local level, even though my town is as Leftist as they come. And I hate being involved in politics, even at this level.
But I have come to realize that, they want it that way. They want to make it unpalatable to people, so they will be left to do things without interference, the way THEY want to do it.
The upside is that I get to spend some time with people who are conservative at least once a month.
And my lifeline to conservatism is Free Republic, and people like you. So, Thank You.
You’re welcome.
We all can/must take action however we can.
For some folks, it is “getting out of their comfort zone” as you’re doing. For others, it’s more grand, like running for office. For some people, it may be a sober discussion with a liberal that makes them check their premise that conservatives are nazis. It can be homeschooling, rising above at a PTA meeting, or being a beacon at work or play.
Not everyone can be Trump. And that’s what They want us to think…if we can’t be bigly in our defense of America, we are nothing. The left, the “champion of the little guy” is driven in their quest to conjure up futility, and have individuals to self-select out.
To be sure, they have won small battles; some men, you just can reach. There are MANY folks even here, who are lapping up doom pr0n, posting articles preaching TEOTWAWKI and sell surrender newsletters and gold, yet they accept fiat currency as payment. It’s kinda sad.
And yet, there are millions of Americans who are silently, as Buckley put it, standing athwart history yelling “Stop.” We know this is true by the language of the left/enemies of freedom and liberty and harmony. Read ANY story in the MSM about Trump, 2020, vaccines, parents, Bud Light, Hamas, etc. They HAVE TO insert “unfounded claims of fraud,” or “no evidence of more sudden deaths” or “despite the ACLU saying schools have a right to lie to parents” and so on. Indeed, there was an article last week on Hamas…the MSM parroted the Hamas-propagandized 20,000 dead stat like it was gospel, but HAD to note that Israel produced no evidence backing a claim that they’d killed some bad guys. As we used to say, what’s up with that?
Contrast this MSM approach with the Kennedy Assassination. Almost every story I read on this topic NEVER mentions that the Official Story is Oswald was The Guy. They routinely go into the Man on the Grassy Knoll. There is NEVER a qualifier, or if it is it’s raised as a historical relic…like something Dementia Grandpa would say that everyone disregards.
The inconsistency is deafening. And because of new media, they’re called out on it day after day.
The MSM absolutely knows there are millions of Americans who can see that they lie. We got them, dead to rights.
The delightful element of this reality, is the MSM is on the run. They won’t admit it, but they know it. Same with leftists pushing hatred, us vs them ideas, global warming, etc. - they are afraid and MUST reinforce the Lies with idiotic syntax.
Every time I see a qualifier, i.e., “there is no evidence the vaccines are ineffective,” an angel gets his wings and a patriotic kitten is born.
Again, situational awareness DEMANDS that we stay alert. The jar-shakers are persistent, and frankly our side can be prone to defeatism. Be on guard, and look for signs. FR is an absolute treasure insofar as I can scan the page and get a pretty solid take in what’s happening. And there are some folks like Laz who have been around forever and can provide perspective that others can’t.
I have no idea what we will see in 24. But I don’t work for the left; I work for The Holy Trinity. Through Them and only Them I can see the emptiness in the eyes of my accusers. The battle will be tough, and we will sustain temporal losses….but we know how this ends.
Have a blessed day FRiend.
