“Live Free or Die” (?)

Since the founding of America our solders and sailors have put their lives on the line to preserve our freedom. Many gave their “last full measure of devotion”. Their remains rest under the earth and at the bottom of oceans. They remind us the old saying “freedom isn’t free”, it cost treasure and blood.

But America’s armed forces cannot defend against this.

The Old American Republic was the Republic of legend, greater than distance or time. No need to note where it was or whence it came, only to know that… it was the Republic.

Once, under the wise rule guidance of the Senate Constitution and the protection of the Jedi Knights, Providence, the American Republic throve and grew. But as often happens when wealth and power pass beyond the admirable and attain the awesome, there appear those evil ones who have greed to match.

So it was with the American Republic at its height. Like the greatest of trees, able to withstand any external attack, the American Republic rotted from within though the danger was not visible from outside.

“Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer. If it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide.” A. Lincoln

Well here is the situation, the citizens of this nation are coming periously close to losing their God given freedoms and Constitutional rights. Many of our political overlords have decreed that the economy and peoples livelihoods will have to be destroyed to save people from dying of COVID-19. A disease that has a recovery rate of nearl 80%, and by keeping the population in lockdown it prevents the possibility of developing herd immunity.

Ms. Carol Brown writing in American Thinker has “NAILED IT” better then anything I could possibly say.

When the [Chinese] coronavirus landed on our shores, communist China came with it.

We have become part of a mass scale human experiment in government control and it turned out that stripping away our freedom wasn’t all that difficult. Under the guise of concern for our health and well-being, tyrants came out of the woodwork. Our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and our lives are being destroyed as the left solidifies and expands their oppressive powers. We’ve been herded around like cattle, threatened, isolated, confined, silenced, and arrested. You name it, it’s happening...

... And while the lust for power underpins this shocking spectacle, it’s wrapped up in the guise of “safety.” Who could possibly question a doctor in a white coat touting such an idea? No good totalitarian regime would be without its idealized worldview to sell fools down the river.

And so we’ve sailed, as our economy has collapsed, Americans have been controlled, law enforcement has complied, and people are bombarded with fearful messages every hour of every day – messages riddled with distorted information and lies, from bogus models to inflated mortality rates and everything in between, all of which serve to strengthen the left’s case against Trump while corrupt hospital administrators rake in money from cooking the books on cause of death. But perhaps more than that, it’s easier to control people who feel desperate and afraid…

As for the oft-cited idea that we are at war with an invisible enemy, I would say, no, we are not. When nations go to war, they do so to defend their culture and way of life. Instead, we are destroying ours.

But there is a war being waged. The left is determined to take this nation down and the perfect time arrived to go in for the kill. Maximum suffering, pain, and destruction is on the menu and they’re serving it up every day as they plunge small towns, cities, counties, and states into protracted lockdowns and shifting goalposts.

The scale of human suffering and the long-term effects of this are incalculable. They will not be seasonal, like a virus. They will be long-lasting. And the left cares not a bit

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.

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.

The next 10 months may be the most perilous times America has ever faced. It’s going to be a wild ride.

The masks come off

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.C.S. Lewis

George Carlin is dead…on

Abraham Lincoln had once stated the the invention of writing was perhaps the greatest invention of mankind in that it allowed the dead to speak to the living and the living to speak to generations yet unborn.

Today of course that invention is augmented with video and sound.

While I don’t neccessarily agree with George Carlin on everything he espoused, he was quite a social critic who made you laugh at the same time

He passed in 2008, yet he seems even more revelant today.

SNL sometimes has its moments

Haven’t watched SNL for over thirty years but an aquaintence mentioned this particular sketch. I sure it made every leftest in the state cringe.

“The Morning Rant”

From —OregonMuse via Ace of Spades

In 2020, being a progressive woman means

-realizing that jumping up and down and yelling “FCUK TRUMP!” while wearing a pink pussy hat didn’t really accomplish much of anything.

-having to sit still while all of the loudest proponents of #MeToo are falling all over themselves to endorse ‘Stinkyfingers’ Biden for president.

-reaping the bitter harvest of your party defending serial rapist Bill Clinton to its dying breath.

-you’re expected to let powerful men grope you and grab your hoohah and then you have to shut up because women’s rights.

–the ya ya sisterhood will refuse to protect you against male feminists.

–you’ve got to believe that getting pawed by creeps is not as bad as Donald Trump picking judges.

–finding out the slogan ‘Believe All Women’ may not apply to you was an “over-correction”.

–Ditto with ‘All Women should be heard’. You may be an exception.

–knowing that how it works is that first you get raped, then you get smeared

–when push comes to shove, your closest friends will turn on you.

–learning the hard way that predatory creeps aren’t all Republicans.

And on a completely different note, has anyone noticed that all of the governors and mayors (Whitmer, Newsom, Cuomo, de Blasio, Pritzker, Sisolak) who have let their inner Stalin run free during the coronavirus crisis have all been Democrats?
