What Country Ever Existed A Century and a Half Without A Rebellion?

. . . Abolition is not our problem today.  Our problem today is progressivism, that uniquely Western branch of Marxism which worldwide, in the 20th century, ran up a butchers bill of somewhere between sixty and one hundred million lives lost.

"It has been 153 years since the end of our last rebellion in this country.  That rebellion began a year after Abraham Lincoln was elected and many people south of the Mason Dixon Line announced that they refused to accept the results of the ballot box.  To use a phrase common at the time, Lincoln was “not my President.”

"After the civil war ended in Union victory, our federal government was careful to station federal military units in every state so that there would not be a repeat of what happened in 1861.  And there will not be.  But we are on the edge of blood in the streets of one form or another in this country.   It is as obvious today, one year on from when an insane Bernie Bro tried to kill Republican Congress-critters on a soft ball field, as it must have been around 1859, when John Brown, an abolitionist dissatisfied with pacifism, thought he could lead an armed slave revolt in Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia.

"At the time, we collectively lost over one million lives in our Civil War to bring about abolition.  Abolition is not our problem today.  Our problem today is progressivism, that uniquely Western branch of Marxism which worldwide, in the 20th century, ran up a butchers bill of somewhere between sixty and one hundred million lives lost." . . .

Beware the cultural revolution of the Chinese Red Guards that the American left seeks today.
