“Progressives,”
i.e. Leftists, tend to get elected by claiming all they care about is justice,
meaning other people’s relative power. Special interest groups, segments, sects,
whatever. They use these other groups who they believe care mostly about
their own power, groups such as women, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders,
transvestites, atheists, abortion proponents, etc., to get their own
power. Those on The Left care only about power—theirs-- and they obtain
and enhance it by utilizing the greed of others while deliberately
marginalizing, or “cancelling,” those who may actually care about their country
first…a tragic irony indeed.
The Left’s
endless quest for power knows no bounds, brooks no dissent, tolerates no
questions. Its ends famously justify its means. It is less charitable to its “enemies” now,
after the Capitol incursion, than the Union was to The South after the Civil
War saw the death of hundreds of thousands of its citizens. In his Second
Inaugural Address, Lincoln said, “With malice toward none; with
charity for all; with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right,
let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds;
to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his
orphan-- to do all which may achieve and
cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.”
Today’s Left impeached the president-- again—days before he was leaving office
anyway, and is threatening to blacklist, fine, expel, cancel, “deprogram,” “re-educate,” or
incarcerate any or all of his 75 million+ supporters. They are casually tossing
terms like “cleansing” and “treason” around. By contrast, Grant’s
surrender demands of Lee at Appomattox Courthouse essentially stated, “lay down
your arms and go home.” No one in the Army of Northern Virginia was even
charged with treason.
Today’s Left,
like the Southern slaveholders it loves to denigrate, is inherently—and
proudly-- evil. While The South was protecting slavery of the body, today’s
Left is seeking slavery of the mind, heart, and soul. There were 3,950,528 slaves in the U.S. in 1860.
Only a small percentage of white families owned slaves. Today, virtually all
conservatives are in danger of being targeted, controlled, silenced, and
stripped of their Constitutional rights by The Left. We don’t need a
Green New Deal, we need a Second Emancipation Proclamation and/or Declaration
of Independence. From Big Tech, Academia, the mainstream media, Hollywood, Big
Business, etc.
A little more
than a decade before the Civil War began, “The Missouri Compromise of 1850” was
passed, an attempt to appease both the North and the South by giving each some
of what it wanted. It failed miserably.
Today, a sort
of “Misery Compromise of 2021” is taking shape. This “compromise” features
Democrats and Blue States telling conservatives and Red States, “We are going
to do whatever the hell we want…and you are going to accept it.”
In one sense,
red states today have even less power than the Southern states did prior to the
Civil War, due to rapidly changing demographics and the encroachment of a
massive federal government, many of whose functionaries are unelected and
effectively unaccountable.
No matter
what happens this go around, it won’t be the red states that secede from the
union. It will be the union that seceded from the red states.
