Waking the Sleeping Giant
American Thinker ^ | H.P. Smith

Posted on 08/27/2020 3:03:24 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

In recent weeks, not only have we seen some very large holes punched in the narrative of what happened to George Floyd, but we’ve also seen the very thin veil come off, as the “peaceful protests” by Black Lives Matter and Antifa rapidly devolved into perhaps the worst string of violent riots the country has ever seen. As of this writing, the city of Portland, Oregon has been host to violent riots for 86 days straight...

As we all know, violence in the name of outrage (or really in the name of anything) is nothing new for the Left. No one is quicker to protest violence by smashing your face with a brick than the tolerant, loving Left. No one understands better than the Left that the way to fight perceived racism in America is with even stronger and more brazen racism. No one -- not even L. Frank Baum -- could construct a better Straw Man to rail against than the Left, and they've built one to rival Burning Man against President Trump (see Trump as racist, sexist, homophobe, Islamaphobe, et al).

None of this is a surprise to anyone who is actually paying attention, regardless of what side you vote for. If you don’t see how lawless and dangerous the riots have become, then you’re not willing to see. On a daily basis, the police are being attacked with rocks, frozen water bottles, bricks, Molotov cocktails, improvised explosive devices, and all manner of other weapons. The attacks are coming from “peaceful protesters” clad in military style body armor and riot gear and are being directed at anyone who displeases them or seems to disagree with their narrative. Or for that matter, anyone who is just trying to pass by, either on foot or in their vehicle.

What the Left doesn't get is that Trump is a genius at optics.

Frankly, I always thought Trump erred on the side of gaudiness in his real estate business, but whatever he was doing worked like a charm.

Trump has a knack for knowing exactly where the sweet spot is with the public...and the Democrat mayors and governors and Antifa/BLM are playing right into his hands.

Anyone (or everyone) here remember the awesome Christian rock band Petra? I share with you the lyrics of Sleeping Giant:

“Sleeping Giant”

[Based on Romans 13:11, Isaiah 60:1]

Whoa, sleeping the night away
Darkness enclosing the world so desperate for day
We’re under the spell of disunity
When will this giant awake and stand and be free
Now the hour has come
To awaken and redeem the time given to the night
Curse this darkness and stand in the light

Can you hear the alarm echo down the hall
The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call
Awake from your sleep ‘cause it’s time to stand tall
The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call
The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call

Whoa, been sleeping so long, yeah
How can we hope to discern the right from the wrong?
The gauntlet is thrown in the face of denial
Each time we sleep through an inch we’re losing a mile
We will get this rude awakening to reality
And arise in unity

It’s been dark for so long night is almost gone
Always darkest before the dawn
Sunlight soon appearing, a new day it will bring
Do you feel it?

Yes. Excellent article. Hope this post gets a lot of attention.

Last bit of the story sums it up: “I believe the Sleeping Giant is yawning, stretching, and turning on the coffee pot right now, and will be fully awake before too long. I say, beware, Antifa and BLM... you may not like what the morning has in store for you.”

The minute the protestors set foot in the street, blocking traffic, their protest was no longer peaceful (”peaceful” is really the wrong word, it is “peaceable”). Impeding me from going about my legal business is kidnapping. The random nature of that restraint is terrorism. Neither are peaceable.

Where does the left go when punk antifa scum get their just reward? We all know only blm, so dead soy boys only rate a campfire in a street. When the “giant” reacts out in the suburbs and the casualties are all white metrosexual heroes, will the slogan get changed, White Metrosexual SoyBoys Lives Matter?

There'a no more "sleeping giant" in America, at least, not in the context off that phrase.

The closest thing to a sleeping giant is when a liberal's home is torched by RAT fags, the liberal awakens .......... and moves to a decent state.

Currently, the most recent state under attack by liberal ideology is Idaho.

Then, when the sleepy liberal gets to his new, nice home, he immediately starts to implement the policies that flushed his former home into the toilet.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Until the Republic is dead.
