"To put this in perspective, the progressive left is attempting to balkanize America. They have condemned our history and seek to erase both our history and our culture as immoral. It is, in many ways, our version of the bloody Maoist Cultural Revolution. The radical neo-Marxist progressives are intent on turning us into groups of warring tribes — and they are perilously close to succeeding. As Victor Davis Hanson recently wrote:
We are living in the most racially polarized climate since the 1960s. America’s past, present, and future are in the process of being recalibrated entirely through the lens of one’s skin color. Columbus is reduced to nothing more than another racist white Italian sailor of a half-millennium past. Grant might as well have fought for slavery in the mind of today’s campus ignoramus. Apparently, the Antifa thug thinks he could just as easily have written the Gettysburg Address or sculpted a statue of Frederick Douglass.
The old liberal ideas of assimilation, integration, and intermarriage are being destroyed by the Left under the specious doctrines of cultural appropriation, or “acting white” or “how we look is who we are.”
A new fuzzy Jim Crow returns with racially segregated campus safe spaces and theme houses or the race-based reeducation and training sessions in the workplace—all predicated to stop racism! Somehow selecting strangers on the basis of their race to bully in a restaurant, or targeting old anonymous men and women to beat up in the street by their race, or singling out suburbanites by their race for racial taunts and profanity is redefined as reparatory justice or overdue payback—on the assumption that no one would dare say that the arson, looting, and rhetoric are descending into ever more hate-filled nihilism.
Our collective future of nationalized tribalism will become what always results when citizens identify by superficial appearance or shared religion. Just go to Lebanon, the Balkans, or Iraq to see what is in store first hand. . . .
"This is, collectively, the predicate to the coming storm. On the ground, the armed wings of the Democrat Party, BLM and Antifa, have executed over 570 violent riots in 22 cities during the past several months, most tolerated, if not outright aided and abetted, by local and state officials, including DA’s funded by George Soros. The left is stoking a race war even as they comprehensively attack the pillars of our society and Western Civilization as a whole. Tyler O’Neil, at PJM, has written an insightful article likening this convergence and the violence in the streets to the similar events that occurred in the years prior to 1861 and the start of our first Civil War. For his part, Weather Underground ex-terrorist Bill Ayers agrees. Just as a reminder, the Civil War, fought in the days of largely solid-shot cannon, single-shot rifles, cutlasses and bayonets — and in a country of only 31 million people — cost the lives of well over six hundred thousand Americans, more by far than any other conflict before or since. All four horsemen of the apocalypse roam free anywhere there is civil war." . . .
. . . "Not only has the progressive left shown that they now hold the Constitution and laws in contempt, they are openly plotting that, not if but when they return to power, they will change the rules of the game such that they then remain in power for decades, if not permanently. To name but a few of the plans they have quite seriously floated:
- end the Senate filibuster, a procedure that has existed since 1806;
- change the balance of power by offering statehood to reliably Democrat voting entities, including the District of Colombia and Puerto Rico;
- end the Electoral College (going to the pure democracy the Founders feared and abhorred as mob rule);
- pack the Supreme Court with progressive judges;
- do away with proportional representation in the Senate, thus giving permanent political power in the nation to a handful of the largest cities and states.
- and permanently move national elections to vote by mail.
"In all of this, they have virtually lockstep support from a media that has jettisoned all journalistic ethics. And should the neo-Marxist succeed in taking power, they would immediately begin extra-legal targeting of Trump’s constituency. This election is for all the marbles." . . . Keep reading...
