I try not to use the any phrase that ends with "better wake up" because, even though it is true, it sounds a little conspiratorial.
Buuuuuuut....
So many of us who clearly saw that just because we pulled out of Afghanistan, the war was not over are not seeing the revolution that is under way. We may not see it, but the Democrats surely do. They believe they are fully engaged, and not only that, they are winning.
When you stop to consider that the President just sent Merrick Garland, the DOJ and the FBI after parents who express their anger at local school board meetings (at the behest of the National Association of School Boards), that should be a wake up call.
It is happening right in front of our eyes, and I get that we don't want our lives to change - maybe we don't believe they will - but I have news and it isn't good: our lives have already changed.
Like the proverbial frog, we are being boiled to death in our own juices.
Never in history has a government of this country gone so far so fast to ward authoritarianism. Behind a massive propaganda campaign disguised as the nightly news, this regime has accumulated more power than any administration before it - and not only are they taking power from the people, they are using it against those same people. The White House PR flacks pretend nothing is happening and their willing accomplices in the mainstream are spinning like tops to hide the truth.
We better start saying "no" before that "no" must take the form of something more lethal to be heard.
A little over a year ago (before the 2020 election), I wrote a post titled "The Moral War is Here". In that post, I wrote:
"Radical progressives are willing to do whatever it takes, no matter how low, to win. When they adopted postmodern philosophy as a guiding principle, all constraints were removed. Principles, societal mores, religious beliefs and lack of the consent of the governed were no longer obstacles, they became minor annoyances.
It’s not black and white as racial strife is understood, but it is black and white as we understand clarity. More in focus for me now than ever.
America has essentially split into two competing civilizations, each with their own rules and mores. The ties that have bound us together for two centuries are now loosed. This is not a Civil War, it is a Moral War. The Civil War was tagged as “brother against brother”, this war is truly what Jefferson feared – the bellum omnium in omnia, the war of all against all.
These civilizations will not be content to compete over forms and methods of government – moral divides create a war over every single aspect of human existence, down to the DNA level (the assertion that whites are naturally racist is but one example). Nothing is off limits – and the war will be total, as the victory must be. I have said this before – the war is coming to your door and there will be no innocent bystanders.
We have been fighting at low intensity for a while now, I fear we are entering the all or nothing phase of this Moral War."
I think the evidence is even stronger today that I might just have been right.
