Friday and the end of the week. Anybody know if we’ve flattened the curve yet?
In preparation for this morning’s post, I came across a pithy sentence that sums up our current system of government rather succinctly (author apparently known but remains anonymous):
“The problem is not that the system has become corrupt, but that corruption has become the system.”
That’s it. That. is. it.
The reason we see so much corruption “in the system” is that the system has been displaced by a corrupt counterfeit so that it no longer functions like it was meant to. It’s not a system with some corruption in it; it’s corruption with some vestige of the original structure still holding it together. It’s like a Crusader’s sword that fell into the sea, only to be found 900 years later encrusted in minerals, shells and marine organisms. You can see the sword’s shape but that’s about the only resemblance it has to its original design. It’s been fully corrupted.
There are dozens and dozens of examples of corruption to choose from, but let’s look at one of the most recent.
Biden’s Education Secretary Miguel Cardona requested the infamous letter from the National School Boards Association comparing protesting parents to domestic terrorists, emails published Tuesday revealed, demonstrating even further the Biden administration’s entrenched efforts to smear its political opponents as threats to national security.
Wut? A senior official solicited a fake dossier letter to gin up opposition to their political enemies?
That letter, which smeared concerned parents who showed up at school board meetings as domestic terrorists and urged the Department of Justice to use terrorism laws against them, was cited by Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland as the reason he directed the FBI and state attorneys to take action against “a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.” The NSBA later apologized for the letter, but that wasn’t enough to keep dozens of state school board associations from distancing themselves from the national organization over the debacle.
The idea that a member of the president’s cabinet secretly planted a political message in an outside organization, then acted on the request with the force of law under a pretense of neutrality, is scandalous.
Scandalous? Sure. But why act surprised? This is what our “system” produces and has produced for many years now. Decades, even. But we couldn’t see it as plainly as we do now. Trump blew all the circuitry running through the swamp and exposed it for all to see.
But the Democrats and Leftists and media monkeys don’t even care if we see it. All that matters to them is holding onto power long enough to retool the “system” to keep them in power. If that means tearing down the Senate filibuster like a statue of Robert E. Lee, then let’s do it. If that means labeling parents “domestic terrorists” for opposing the Democrat’s agenda, by all means, let’s do it.
And, if it means Brandon smearing half of all Americans as racists by offering a bizarre choice between racists and anti-racists all the way back to the mid-1800s, let’s do it.
Every official in America, [Resident] Biden said Tuesday, has a choice: “Do you want to be on the side of Dr. [Martin Luther] King or George Wallace? Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?” Seriously, he said that grandiloquent nonsense.
Mr. Biden’s speech in Georgia was a call to bulldoze the Senate’s filibuster to pass a rebranded version of H.R.1, a bill that would impose a federal election code on all 50 states, including forcing them to count late mail ballots that lack postmarks. If you happen to think that’s a bad idea, or that it’s unconstitutional, or that nuking the filibuster would hurt the Senate, well, then apparently you’re against Abraham Lincoln.
Not to make too fine a point of it, Brandon, but Bull Connor, George Wallace and (most likely, from the correspondence we have) Robert E. Lee were all Democrats. Lewis was a Democrat and King supposedly had Republican sympathies, but his party affiliation remains unknown.
Only Lincoln was a Republican—and you claim his mantle for your Marxist administration that engages in lawfare against innocent citizens?
The whole edifice is rotten. It needs to be torn down and the earth where it stood needs to be salted.
Have a good weekend.
