If Not Trump, Who Will Cure the Rot?
WSJ ^ | Sept 23, 2016 | Holman W. Jenkins Jr.

Posted on 09/24/2016 6:54:33 AM PDT by Brilliant

One of the brothers charged in the August shooting death of mother-of-four Nykea Aldridge in Chicago, which prompted a controversial tweet from Donald Trump appealing for black support (“VOTE TRUMP!”), was released only two weeks earlier on a firearms violation...

Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson last month explained reality to the Chicago Tribune: Of the 1,400 people on the city’s “Strategic Subject List” of those believed responsible for its gun violence, most have been arrested and released multiple times on gun charges. By one count (that of the Chicago Sun-Times) 75% of those booked on gun violations in the first three months of 2016 were back on the streets by June...

In New York in the heyday of stop-and-frisk, these killers would not have been released...

To many liberal and African-American activists not living under immediate threat of gun violence, however, stop-and-frisk has become unacceptable. They reject the tactic because police, some of whom are white, would inevitably be stopping mostly black and Hispanic citizens on the street in search of illegal weapons...

At bottom, it’s this rottenness of American political culture that allows Mr. Trump, for all his flaws as a candidate and human being, to find traction with so many voters. Not because he’s a uniquely attractive individual, but because he’s uniquely willing to violate the political taboos and challenge the status quo...

Not every problem can be solved with a modest policy tweak. Sometimes a wrecking ball is needed. Pollsters, in a moment of insight, have lately taken to describing the Trump voter as a compos mentis risktaker open to a high-risk, high-reward gamble.

This seems to get it about right. What kind of president would Mr. Trump make? We have no idea and there may be only one way to find out...

Most of the Trump hold outs are beginning to fall in line.

A pro-America American one

They are thinking: “Donald Trump is going to make the trough smaller, but maybe I can still fit in!”

for all his flaws as a candidate and human being

I am SO SICK of this GD never ending MSM meme. WHAT flaws? Nobody's perfect. Trump is better than most of the Republicans he beat, and absolutely better than Hillary on all possible points.

My only reservation about Trump winning is that otherwise smart, reasonable people will be parroting this idiocy over and over and over for the next (hopefully) 8 years.

There is no one to cure the rot. The End Times begins the evening of 2OCT2016. You think things have been going downhill since the late ‘60s, just watch what happens from October onward. Ya ain’t gonna like it.

As opposed to electing another establishment hack to rob you blind with a smile on his face.

I don’t think even Trump can cure what is wrong with this country. He can make a good start, and will, but 8 years will not be enough. We’ll also need someone to pickup where he left off.

Yes, I’m worried...

The Curse of Diversity

Anyone who didn’t see this coming just wasn’t looking, as one look at world history will show you that no country with a diverse population of different races, languages, and religions has long survived.

Countries don’t naturally form with a diverse population, and when in the past they’ve occurred it’s usually been as a result of armed conquest. These unnaturally formed countries have either melded together into a single population made up of one mixed race with one language and one religion or they’ve come apart, and they’ve usually come apart with extreme violence. The longer these diverse populations were forced to coexist with one another without mixing and becoming one, the more the hatred grew among them and the more violently they broke apart, but break apart they did, or genocide has settled the issue once and for all.

A “celebration” of diversity and multiculturalism in the American population was introduced in the 1960s and 70s as a deliberate, divisive revolutionary tool wielded by Marxists like Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers and other radicals. It became dogma taught by Marxists in our universities, then spread by our leftist controlled news media and leftist controlled Hollywood. The intent was, and is, to split American culture along race and class lines and set off a “proletarian” revolution to destroy capitalism. The Left has now managed to elect a half-Black radical as President and their revolution is proceeding along very predictable lines, with him using every opportunity to stir up more division and discontent. A reading of the Constitution of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA at this link should make clear their goals and methods: http://revcom.us/Constitution/constitution.html

At the beginning of the 21st Century, the American people are about to learn the savage lesson of Communist Revolution that the Russian people learned at the beginning of the last century. Millions died in Russia’s Communist “experiment” before they learned that Communism just doesn’t work, as the concept of Communism (“You didn’t build that”) is completely alien to basic human nature. Now it’s our turn to learn what Russia after a century of death and misery now knows.

However, the coming American Communist Revolution that Karl Marx and his acolyte Barack Hussein Obama is bringing upon us won’t progress in the comparatively orderly fashion as it did with the Bolsheviks in Russia. The cursed diversity within the U.S. population will quickly turn this Communist Revolution into a no-holds-barred, and to-the-death, Race War. How our country with its Constitution intact could possibly survive such a blood-bath is a near impossibility. It once appeared as if our country might one day become a mixed race people of olive skinned, brown eyed, black haired, Spanish speaking Muslims or Christians (but not both, of course), but Barack Hussein Obama has started a Communist Revolution that will undoubtedly destroy any possibility of that ever occurring.

There is no expiration date on any of our survival instincts, and white Liberal Democrats in their “Gun Free” zones will be the first among us to be reminded of this at the very beginning of our coming Communist Revolution turned Race War, as the American experiment in Democracy joins all previous Democracies in the dust-bin of history.

I’d say that it will take one or two generations. The liberal leaders who were in college in the 60’s will be out of the picture soon, which will help. IMO, this is their last shot.

“How did you arrive at that date?”

See my thread I posted yesterday.

Russia Issues New “R.O.E.” in Syria: Any Aircraft Threatening the Syrian Army WILL BE SHOT DOWN
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3472767/posts

This is one of several things I wrote was the following on that thread.

12TH-CENTURY RABBI PREDICTED ISRAEL’S FUTURE
http://www.wnd.com/2012/11/12th-century-rabbi-predicted-israels-future/

His predictions were the following based on the status of Jerusalem and the Jubilees (50 year spans of time).

1. Jerusalem would be occupied by the Turks for eight Jubilees. The Turks did hold Jerusalem from 1517 to 1917. (As a side note Turkey did invade Syria the first time on 24AUG1516 and defeated the Mameluks completely in Egypt on 20JAN1517. Turkey invaded Syria near the area they previously invaded for a second time 500 years to the day on 24AUG2016. WW3 may happen between now and 20JAN2017.)

2. Jerusalem would become ownerless for one Jubilee. This happened from 1917 to 1967.

3. Jerusalem would be in the hands of Jews again in the 9th Jubilee. This occurred in 1967 until current time (2016). This 9th Jubilee period would be the leading up to the End Times.

4. During the 10th Jubilee Jews would control Jerusalem and the End Times would begin. This would put the beginning of the end times starting the evening (sunset) of 2OCT2016.

Have a nice day!

OK, you have peeked the interest of many others. What have you to say? Don’t just throw out some “bait”, back it up with some facts.

See post #15. You also have to know a little about the Jewish. The evening of 2OCT2016 is Rosh HaShana which is the Jewish new year.
