A House Divided

In the Ace of Spades blog, JJ Sefton writes in part in his Morning Report,
Now more than ever, I'm struck by the fact that America's greatest attribute - its freedom - has always been its Achilles heel. Our enemies, both foreign and domestic know it. For well over a century if not really since the beginning of the republic (FYI, in 1789, not 1619), they have used it to gradually, and now seemingly all at once to destroy us from within. It warms the cockles of the heart to see Shelly Luther refuse to kneel before a hack-in-black demagogue and kiss his ring, and now 77-year-old Michigan barber Karl Manke tell Whitmer and her attack bitch Dana Nessel to FOAD. But the willingness for the citizenry of places like California, New York and Washington to just go along is frightening. Whether its Trump derangement, an ingrained Leftist mindset to trust government and fear freedom, which is the essence of American culture that they were taught to despise, and the concomitant hatred for real America which cherishes the latter and elected the former, or some combination of both, they are positively gleeful at what is happening to their fellow citizens, not realizing that it ultimately will happen to them. You can thank 50 years of brainwashing in the schools for that.

We are a house divided. That's half of the equation required for divide and conquer. I believe we have reached the point where as some commenters are wont to quip "we are not voting our way out of this." If Trump should G-d forbid lose in November, it will be lights out America for sure. If he wins, which I believe he will even in the face of all of this no matter who his opponent will be, things could get very ugly and very quickly. Regardless of the outcome of November, I have come to the conclusion that with very few exceptions, every branch of government, the bureaucracy and the institutions we rely on to keep us safe are so completely corrupted and beholden to the Counter-American Revolution that elections really will not matter any more. The actions of Emmet Sullivan, along with that of Obama, Comey, Brennan, Clapper and all the rest make it painfully obvious.

Despite perhaps as much as a third of the population not standing with us, I have postulated that we are ripe for that moment when as in 2010 when a fed-up Tunisian shopkeeper decided to immolate himself and touched off the so-called "Arab Spring." Obviously, the politics of that situation are way different, but as a metaphor/parallel, perhaps that shopkeeper is Karl Manke. Already, a large group of citizens interposed themselves and the authorities to prevent them from shutting him down. With the war of words escalating between the governor and AG and him, things could get interesting in Owosso, and from there, who knows?

This situation is intolerable. I think the President is doing all he can, given the situation he is in. But this is one battle that he can't fight for us. We are going to have to fight this battle ourselves, for whatever definition of the word "fight" may be applicable. Mass, peaceful civil disobedience is my preferred choice. If G-d forbid it turns out to be that other thing, it will not be us who fire the first shot. But in the end, it only matters who fires the last one.

Lift the lockdowns. Liberate America.
