I nominate lotp for great thinker of the univerese, today. And not just because he here speaks my mind with his mouth. Well, yeah, it is.

| OS, I fear that the
far left is quite aware that they are radicalizing the right, and will
use the first instance of violence as an excuse to ditch all but the
thinnest veneer of true representational government.
Remember: the far left hates the middle class above all. Their aim is
to destabilize, to destroy the day to day orderliness that allows good
people to go on with their lives quietly.
So yes, we're under attack. We need to:
Repel the immediate attack
Figure out a strategy
Counterattack - but choose our terrain, timing and methods to give us
the best chance of success
Longer term: clear and hold. Which may require Fallujah levels of
intense political combat, fighting for every inch and every building.
And then fortifying those areas and consolidating gains.
Right now our Fallujah is the health care bill and the sequence of other
'reforms' the far left is pushing in rapid succession (continued)

and then read this from Old Spook -

 I always stood outside the political system, because my duty and
integrity demanded it.
A lot of us are uncomfortable with becoming personally involved in
politics, other than voicing an opinion and filling in our ballots on
election day. You can see that in a lot of us vets - like Pappy for
instance.
But I'm trying to do what I can -- that's why I went to the caucus, and
got my self elected as a delegate. For the first time in all these
decades of my life I have become overtly and directly involved in the
political side of things. Its not in my comfort zone, and I do not like
operating in the open like this. But something had to be done. The
problem is, it may not be enough.
I was not so worried before this, as I thought the usual political
machinery could be harnessed to correct this. That's why I jumped in,
to help try to push things the right way.
But last night really opened my eyes.
My perception now is that there are far more potential loose cannons
than there are people trying to secure and aim them properly. Malicious
power-hungry people on both sides benefit from them being the way they
are.
The Democrat leadership just does not seem to understand how this is
going to cause a number of people to snap their bonds to this government
(c.f. Waco, BATF and McVeigh), they are so self righteous they have
arrogantly ignored needing the consent of those they are supposed to
represent. They seem to think they can use any violent reactions to
crack down and further consolidate collectivist power in the state.
They do not realize just how fundamentally wrong they are in gauging the
grim fire and fight in that part of the population .
On the other side, the GOP leadership, in its lust for political power,
doesn't realize that these folks will break away from the system in a
fundamental way that will not benefit the GOP politically they way the
leadership thinks it will.
In order to remedy things, these "broken away" people will be looking
for far more direct and high impact methods than a voting booth (again,
c.f. McVeigh et al).
And that's what's keeping me up at nights. (continued) |

The military will turn on their handlers long before they'd turn on the citizens.
ReplyDeleteThe left is hoping for a political victory, because they know it won't be long before the new swing of the pendulum destroys their efforts.
"the new swing of the pendulum destroys their efforts."
ReplyDeleteBut, that's why I tend to OldSpook's view.
The GOP has shown ZERO evidence that they've truly learned anything since they got their asses kicked in the recent past. ZERO.
Having the pendulum swing from one giant, overbearing government faction to the other giant, overbearing government faction changes nothing.
My prediction:I see big GOP victories in 2010 and 2012. I then see them proving themselves to be the giant power hungry statist douchebags they've always been.
I then see all hell breaking loose.
Happy St. Pat's Day. Drink up, here's your Draft.
ReplyDeleteo'y vey o'le'.
It is no longer a matter of Dem. vs GOP. We can no longer buy into the two party farce, it is just good cop, bad cop. Both will bust your ass. Throwing up firewalls at the state level is our last and only hope. The feds have a mercenary army, all the tanks and planes and the willing help of UN troops. The tenth amendment is our life boat. Let the fucking Titanic sink in to the ooze.
ReplyDeleteJess, sorry to say you are wrong w/r/t the Military. They will follow the orders they are given, ignoring the Constitution readily. Study New Orleans. Bill of Rights didn't mean a damned thing.
ReplyDeleteThat is the model of what will come.
--Jack
Jack, an even bigger worry is the actions of police agencies. As the father of a schoolmate of mine put it "they smile and are polite this week. They bring their shoes to be mended at your repair shop. They eat at your restaurant. You are declared undesirable by the state and they are the first to scream "raus! raus" as they push you into the cattle cars. They follow orders. They enforce the law. They are incapable of thinking".
ReplyDeleteRegarding the military, handlers and citizens, two words:
ReplyDeleteSherman & Georgia, Sheridan and the Shenandoah Valley.
Some dis-assembly required.
I have tremendous respect for today's military. They are far better trained and equipped than we were in my day. But, their leadership haunts my dreams. And another name for dreams, is "nightmares".
I pray to God that if things go wrong, I'm wrong too.
