It won't be. I bet they will render a decision to kick it back to the state.

It needs to. There’s no other way out of this. The left has gone full tyrannical dictator and they’re not going to willingly allow themselves to be shoved back under the rock from under which they crawled. We have got to face the fact that we cannot coexist with these demented and dangerous people, and start focusing on what it will take to either split with them or otherwise remove them from this country. It’s going to take either a national divorce or defeating them once and for all in a civil war. Any other ideas are pure fantasy.

When? We will whimper into the night as a nation under a totalitarian thumb. Some of us may not but we will go down fighting with too few brave enough. The rest will continue to play nintendo, drink beer and watch tv or something never having had the interest or energy for anything else and resting in what they have been led to call freedom, a miserable, sad, repulsive excuse for real LIBERTY.

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

At Chapter 4, Solzhenitsyn writes: "Macbeth's self-justifications were feeble – and his conscience devoured him. Yes, even Iago was a little lamb, too. The imagination and spiritual strength of Shakespeare's evildoers stopped short at a dozen corpses. Because they had no ideology. Ideology – that is what gives evildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others' eyes.... That was how the agents of the Inquisition fortified their wills: by invoking Christianity; the conquerors of foreign lands, by extolling the grandeur of their Motherland; the colonizers, by civilization; the Nazis, by race; and the Jacobins (early and late), by equality, brotherhood, and the happiness of future generations... Without evildoers there would have been no Archipelago.

History may not repeat exactly but it sure does rhyme doesn't it?

We remain in disbelief collectively thinking it is best not to overreact. That is why we are left to discourse. We will keep doing that until it is way too late. We know that once the bell of Liberty is rung against tyranny it can't be taken back, the outcome must be victory by someone. When you rise up against the king you must kill him. If we have any sense at all we know that is an action we don't want to take lightly nor alone.

General Lee said that, "It is good that war is so terrible lest we become too fond of it." The actual words are in debate but the message remains the same no matter how it is said.

Meanwhile we will try to out vote rigged computers and send in our strongly worded ballot. Yeah, that will work against tyranny. Sure, that is the way a republic is supposed to work. We are only governed by the consent of the governed aren't we? Keep believing that and see where it gets us. Where has it gotten us so far?

It won’t be 9-0 bank it. 6-3 maybe 7-2. My money is on 6-3.
