Quote:
The whole purpose of constitutions is to limit power. In a constitutional system like ours, one is not supposed to be motivated by crushing one’s enemies. This has never been the inclination or aim of conservatives, who do not share the Left’s aversion to limits on political power. But things have changed. What happens when one side has no regard for the constitution or the limits of power? The goodwill of the conservative has been mercilessly abused, and he is searching for shelter from the obscene freak show of anarchy and disorder that has descended upon his country.
Joe Biden is but the vessel of the deranged, domineering spirit behind the corruption. This malign force is not the beneficent liberalism of the founders, who cherished freedom of speech, religion, and opinion and, of course, the right to bear arms, and its implicit right of revolution. It is a tyrannical will that asserts total ownership of everything, proudly celebrates evil by calling it good, treats decent people like terrorists, exalts criminals and the insane, snatches children from their parents, and requires submission to itself in mind and body …
The country is changing fast. A decade ago, the Left said, “We just want gays to be able to marry,” and now they say, “We just want to parade our depraved fetishes in public and sexualize children.”
The two dominant factions now resemble hostile nations living under one government …
Comment:
Not everything in the article has me nodding in agreement, but what I quote does. The half of the population who do not want to live under the tyranny of the Left do have to become forceful and militant in their opposition.
“…two hostile nations living under one government…” - and it’s a government controlled by one side - the radical Left.
Our side is the one that wants peace and freedom - the Left are the real “threat to democracy”.
If the Right is “radical” or “militant” at all, it is only in (justifiable) reaction to the extremism of the Left that is now being forcibly shoved down our throats.
We needed an effective militant anti-communist movement fourteen years ago (at least, if not earlier). America used to have a robust herd immunity to the communist virus, circa the 1940s through the 1960s (The Greater Fifties). Since the 1970s, we have been browbeaten by the propagandists of the radical left to tolerate ever more insane and destructive cultural revolutions and political policies.
Why has the right been so weak? Christian intellectual sloth and complacency. That leads to bad anthropology (among other things), and a corrupted view of reality. The left beats us on their limited but still better, somewhat more realistic anthropology. They had a lot of tribal cultures in the Russian empire, China and Latin America to learn from. Human nature is biologically and culturally evolved tribal nature. We are a political animal. What the left gets wrong is that all of it is socially determined according to Marxist laws of dialectical materialism having to do with economic hierarchies and class struggle, etc. They deny and are ideologically allergic to anything suggesting other factors, especially biological components to differences among cultures. But those differences exist demonstrably. Evolved cultures and the gene pools that support each other co-evolve. That’s been recognized for decades.
