It's Coming!

The people have had enough.....

If I were fifty years younger, I would be forming, or at least trying to form, a well-planned, equipped, and regulated militia comprised of like-minded people, as envisioned by the Founding Fathers. I would be doing this because I feel that we are very close to being forced by the actions of the Democratic Party into the second Civil War. Some would say the third, the American Revolutionary War being the first.

Although the roots of this possible coming conflict run deeper, probably back to the administration of Woodrow Wilson at the beginning of the last century, they became obvious with the election of Barack Obama in 2008, and were expanded and underlined by the very questionable “election” of Joe Biden in 2020.

The Second Amendment to our Constitution was proposed and championed by James Madison, who feared overreach by a federal government, denying the rights of the citizens of the individual states. That is exactly what happened in the eighteen forties and fifties, which led to the secession of the southern states and the forming of the Confederacy in 1861.

When Abraham Lincoln authorized a military mission to march on Richmond, Virginia, and arrest the members of the Confederate leadership, the bloody four-year Civil War began. Could it have been avoided? What if instead Lincoln had opted to recognize the Confederate government and then attempt to negotiate a peaceful resolution of their grievances after cooler heads prevailed? We will never know.

What we DO know is that his failure to do so resulted in the deaths of more than 600,000 men on both sides of the conflict, something that forever altered the gene pool of our nation. Yes, the slaves were freed, and the “peculiar institution” of slavery was ended. However, that would have ended anyway in a few years, because Britain’s abolition of the practice, and the absence of the institution anywhere else in the western world, particularly on the European continent.

The military defeat of the South and the military imposition of “Reconstruction” after the assassination of Lincoln by a Southern sympathizer prevented the coming together of our nation that he had envisioned. Instead, we saw the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, “Jim Crow” laws, and the imposition of racial segregation in the South for the next hundred years. Remember, this was all done under the rule of the Democrats in the South and their party sympathizers in the North.

For reasons I find difficult to understand, a majority of African Americans became staunch supporters of the Democrats, the party that for so long had done everything in their power to either keep them enslaved or at least segregated, second-class citizens. Any unbiased examination of historical facts can lead to no other conclusion. Perhaps, as is posited by some, they were “bought” by the Democrats with promises of “free stuff.” If so, that is even more depressing.

The election (twice) of Barack Obama as President proved beyond a doubt that we are NOT a nation of “white supremacist” bigots who habitually attempt to deny minorities their civil rights. However, that has continued to be the mantra of the Democrats. Divide and conquer is their marching song.

What we are, or at least used to be, is a nation of collective common sense. We have learned by doing, and in some cases not doing, because of what we learned by doing it the first time. Placing your hand on a hot stove, for instance. It isn’t necessary for EVERYBODY to learn from doing that. We can learn not to do it by the experience of others.

Somewhere along the way, we’ve lost much of that knowledge, perhaps because in too many cases, we don’t speak the same common language. A barrio street in Phoenix, Los Angeles, or Houston sounds the same as one in Juarez or Mexico City. It’s not NECESSARY to speak English because everyone speaks Spanish, right?

Barack Obama told us that he was going to “Fundamentally Transform America.” Many Americans cheered, without asking: “Into what?” Others, myself included, asked that question, and many more. In retaliation, we were labeled racist, xenophobic, and a host of other “phobic” adjectives as well. As seems to always be the case with liberals, conservatives aren’t just wrong, we’re EVIL as well.

While all this has been going on, our government has lost track, especially during the Biden Administration, of what is happening in the world around us. Mexican and Central American cartels flooded our country with deadly drugs like Fentanyl, killing tens of thousands in the process. Unvetted illegal aliens stormed our borders in millions and were then transported at government expense throughout our nation.

All these actions, including the downgrading of legal penalties by Progressive mayors and prosecutors, led to a surge in property crimes, with gangs of mainly black teenagers swarming businesses unchallenged by law enforcement, who had been told to stand down.

In Montana Territory in the gold rush days of the 1860s, citizens of many of the mining towns became so distressed by the inaction of their local officials that they formed “Vigilance Committees” who apprehended, tried, and executed lawbreakers (as well as some local judges and town officials) by hanging. They had had ENOUGH! If the Democrats continue in the same vein, this may happen again. Nothing like seeing bodies hanging from trees and lamp posts with signs like the above around their necks to get people’s attention!
