Civil
war is here. It has come to America. For the second time. This one is between
those who respect history, tradition, reality, decency, dignity, excellence, and
the truth…… and those who utterly despise all of these and instead worship sloth,
destruction, entitlement…and themselves.
One
group erects stores, buildings, and towers—and manufactures automobiles—the
other loots, vandalizes, and burns them. Members of one group defend America
and are willing to lay down their lives if necessary for liberty. The other
group spits on them. One group believes in capitalism, the lone economic system
that has lifted billions out of abject poverty and works hard to make the lives
of their family—and their fellow citizens—richer and better. The other believes
in leftist ideologies such as socialism, Marxism, and communism, social and
economic systems that have historically led to deprivation, misery, and the
death of hundreds of millions. One group believes in inalienable natural rights
granted by the Creator, the other doesn’t believe in a Creator, and believes
only in such limited rights as bestowed by those in government. One group
believes that the two sexes are divinely created for their complimentarity and were
mandated by God to go forth and multiply. The other believes there are an
infinite number of sexes and genders, and that they have nothing whatsoever to
do with procreation. One group is pro-life, the other pro-death. The former
doesn’t believe in abortion or assisted suicide, the latter fervently believes
in both, the better to spare the earth the burden of more human beings. One
group believes in the First and Second Amendments, the other neither. One group
believes in equal justice under the law, the other in a two-tiered justice
system. One group believes in the rule of law, the other that the ends justify
the means-- whatever the means may be. One group is actually committed to the continuation
of a healthy democracy in the form of a representative republic, the other just
purports to be. One group attempts to employ history, logic, and reason to
persuade, the other uses lies, slander, libel, and profanity.
This
is the last time we will have this choice. As Elon Musk says, if the latter
group wins, we will have one-party rule by bureaucracy. Meaning tyranny.
Permanently.
So
it is time to pick your side. History cries for a result. Posterity
breathlessly awaits.
Thomas
Paine once noted, “'Tis surprising to see how rapidly a panic will sometimes
run through a country.” That is certainly true today.
In The
Crisis, written in December of 1776, Paine wrote: “THESE are
the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot
will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that
stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like
hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the
harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap,
we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.
Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange
indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”
These,
too, are times that try men’s souls. But let’s not panic. No more sunshine
patriots here.
