Daily Broadside | Republicans are the Party of “Do Nothing to Upset the Status Quo”

Daily Verse | Zechariah 5:7-8
Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman! He said, “This is wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed the lead cover down over its mouth.

Happy Friday and the last day of September. Fall is in the air here, with temperatures in the low- to mid-60s during the day this last week. Chilly!

The really great thing about going into October is that we’re only about a month out from the mid-term elections and one of our increasingly rare opportunities to claw back some of the power taken from us during the 2020 election. We may not get all we need, but hopefully enough to check the rampant, out of control dismantling of what was once the greatest nation in the world.

I’ve learned over the last several years, however, to not get my hopes up too high because NOTHING EVER HAPPENS with the power once we have it. Remember when we had the White House, the House and the Senate during Trump’s first two years? Remember how we all wanted the Republicans to repeal Obamacare?

Remember, especially, HOW THEY DIDN’T DO IT?

Hey, guess how many GOP senators out of 50 are demanding an explanation for the FBI arrest of a pro-life activist?

That many?

I guess we should be grateful we got any. That’s why I don’t have great hope in our political processes anymore.

That’s how the GOP rolls. We have a few solid conservatives in office, but the rest are members of the UniParty that like the trappings of political life in D.C. They aren’t serious about reining in the current junta, because it would require them to oppose the status quo and risk losing their next election.

We’re drifting on a rotting ship that’s lost its rudder, its sails are in tatters, its maps have been replaced by deformed drawings of imaginary places, the crew is telling the passengers to paint the deck in rainbow colors, the captain is being paid off by privateers, and the guards are punishing anyone who notices.

Yay, November.

Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | Only One Vision Can Prevail At A Time

Daily Verse | Song of Songs 8:7
Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away.

Saturday’s Reading: Isaiah 5-8

It’s Friday—and Sunday’s comin’! Every Friday is a good reminder that the resurrection is coming and will defeat all evil and death. We need that more than ever in the world we currently live in.

There’s no doubt in my mind that the Democrats, and their enablers in the unaccountable alphabet agencies, the media, and our once-noble institutions, are working methodically to bring about the “fundamental transformation” of America that the Lightbringer, Barack Hussein Obama, introduced us to in 2008.

The conditions for that transformation were seeded in the first half of the 1900s when the Marxist Frankfurt School joined Columbia University in New York City in 1935. From there, they spread the philosophy of “critical theory” throughout the U.S. and poisoned generations of young Americans with their “long walk through the institutions.”

Unfortunately, our present-day society is reaping the whirlwind that men like Max Horkheimer, Erich Fromm, and Herbert Marcuse sowed. And it’s not the commies in the country that have the most to lose — it’s normal Americans who love what America used to stand for.

We don’t really have two political parties; we have the Uniparty, which is made up of Democrats and Democrats-Light. One only has to look at what’s happening in the “sacred halls” of Congress (*spit*) where 47 Republicans joined with all of the Democrats to pass the Respect for Marriage Act, 267-157.

That “act” is meant to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act—signed into law by president Bill Clinton with bipartisan support in 1996 that recognized marriage as “a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife”—in order to prevent the Supreme Court from reversing Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 ruling that made same-sex marriage a constitutional right.

Or look at the 50-50 Senate, where they passed an ever-more intrusive gun bill by 65-33. So much for protecting legal gun owners and respecting our Second Amendment rights.

Democrats, as a class, no longer respect the U.S. Constitution (if ever they did) and think of it as an outdated, living document into which their post-modern preferences can be read. Or that it is an obstacle to be surmounted on the way to their idea of “utopia.” Maddeningly, it seems like many Republicans are right there with them.

One of the most wickedly dangerous things Obama did while president was to replace nearly 200 generals, colonels and flag officers in the U.S. military over five years with men and women who supported his socialist views in an unprecedented purge. Our military is now an experiment in fusing woke philosophy with an institution that was designed to kill people and break stuff. Most of us know how that will turn out. While the Chinese are developing warriors, we’re designing flight suits for pregnant women womyn. That should go well.

We were locked down for almost two years and hundreds, if not thousands, of small businesses were destroyed.

Our elections are now suspect. After 2020, can anyone say that they trust our elections to be fair and free from corruption? I can’t.

We have a two-tiered system of justice that breaks the social contract we grew up with. A “nation of laws” that no longer treats all citizens impartially without regard to rank, status or power can no longer be considered just.

The current administration is deliberately killing our energy sector in pursuit of some mythical green salvation story that’s all based on a lie, while we have enough oil lying beneath our feet to power us for the next 400 years.

Inflation is stressing middle America. Eggs are $3 a dozen. Gas is $5 a gallon. All this while the Speaker of the House’s husband is getting rich off insider information that the rest of us don’t have access to.

None of this is the result of a ruling class that is looking out for the people’s interests. It’s all deliberately destructive.

This is a cultural problem because, just like the “long march” took decades to complete, we can’t reverse what has happened on whim. It’s now part of our national character. That can’t be weeded out except over a couple of generations.

I don’t know what the final act is going to be in this ongoing drama. We might see some more power shifting back and forth between “normies” and the domestic enemies of We the People. But the Left is relentless and holds the heights and therefore the advantage, at the moment.

We’re in an existential battle for our survival as a country and as a people. Only one vision of the future can survive, not the two mutually exclusive ones that are currently competing for supremacy.

Which will it be?

Have a good weekend.
