A Catalog of Outrages
As I sat down to prepare this post, I almost felt apologetic. Can it actually be that great numbers of our fellow citizens in this great Land of the Free and Home of the Brave - even some on this list - are oblivious to the pervasive, glaring, in-your-face outrages being perpetrated against our sacred, God-given liberties by an out-of-control, tyrannical federal government? Surely every soul among us with a few firing synapses can see what’s happening and doesn’t need me to point it out and crank on it, right?
Then came to mind the time-worn analogy of the oblivious frog in the pot of increasingly hot water. I remembered Ben Franklin’s sagacious and prescient observation:
““Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”
I then considered that, by every conceivable measure, our society is becoming increasingly “corrupt and vicious”, deteriorating intellectually, morally and spiritually. Unless one finds joy in a looming apocalypse, there simply is no good news. The water in the pot is heating up.
Are there the stuporous and somnolent among us who either deliberately or unawares turn a blind eye to the intellectual, moral and spiritual rot that is eating away at the foundations of our glorious inheritance of liberty? No big deal, right? Just a bite here and a bit there…
In this brief video clip, Congressman Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committe, provides a nice tight summary of the outrages perpetrated on the American people in recent years by an out-of-control FBI - including their labeling pro-life Catholics “extremists” and parents speaking up at school board meetings “domestic terrorists”, then siccing FBI agents on them. Of course these outrages are only a fraction of the radical incursions and insults across the spectrum of our sacred, God-given liberties perpetrated by an omnivorous, metastatic, post-constitutional, Frankenstein-monster government.
Anyone who thinks things are just hunky-dory under the corrupt, America-hating, seditious, treasonous Biden regime - the election-stealing kleptocratic cabal of Democrat/RINO thieves and traitors who are the perpetrators or have acquiesced in the face of this tidal wave of tyranny and subversion - truly has his head in the sand.
In my view, anyone who isn't infuriated by what these treacherous tyrants have done and continue blatantly to do in just this one area of government over-reach - the FBI - is ignorant or uncaring of the dynamics of our constitutionally protected individual human liberty - that liberty, by the way, being the whole point and focus of the founding of America. Such people do not deserve to be called Americans.
Accordingly, under these circumstances, anyone - the self-righteous, judgmental, sanctimonious prigs among us who focus obsessively on Donald J. Trump’s personal quirks and foibles - picayune snivelings utterly irrelevant in our present desperate circumstances - again, he who is without sin, let him cast the first stone - while turning a blind eye to (1) the deadly and multifaceted, potentially existential perils brought upon our nation by the nest of vipers who have illegitimately established themselves in power, and (2) the demonstrated, matter-of-record capacity and determination of DJT to face up to those threats, fight the fights that must be fought and do the right thing for the country - people who cannot see the screaming need to return this steel-spined patriot and butt-kicker to the Oval Office truly and absolutely fail the no-brainer test:
No-Brainer - by Ronald T. Jones - TorqTalk (substack.com)
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” - Ronald Reagan
If we don’t wake up and stand up, we will surely sell our sacred patrimony for a mess of potage, lose everything that matters, and go like sheep to the slaughter.
Is that you lookin’ at me?
Wake up, America!
Right vs. wrong, truth vs. lies, reality vs. fantasy, knowledge vs. ignorance, law vs. lawlessness, justice vs. injustice, order vs. chaos, liberty vs. tyranny, light vs. darkness, good vs. evil, life vs. death, God vs. the Godless…
Time to pick a side. You will, one way or another…
If you can be fooled, you will be.
These are the times that try men’s souls…
