Perspective #3

Time to make a few things clear; very, VERY clear.

But first, can we stipulate that Statism is antithetical to our Constitution? (If you do NOT agree, I’d like to know why.)

Democrats, the media, the GOP….

Collectively: The Establishment. This group, which comprises most of Congress, is a drift of pigs. But this drift of pigs doesn’t wait for the farmer (you) to fill their trough. Rather, they freely raid the farmer’s (your) house and steal the food, taking however much they wish.

…and their appetites are ever-growing. They are insatiable gluttons. They are pigs.

And, now, the farmer (you) is threatening to not only lock the house, but also put them on a VERY strict diet.

WHERE WE WERE, PRE-NOVEMBER 8^TH, 2016

Since the administration of FDR (one of the first high-level Socialists with the ability to legislate the Statist agenda), America has slouched toward a Marxist state (post-Capitalist, centralized, overreaching government). Although there have been minor….MINOR…..moves toward restoring a Constitutional government (Reagan, Bush II), the push toward Statism has been fundamentally unabated. The supposed “opposition” Party, the Republicans, have behaved exactly as the Whig Party, pre-Lincoln: lots of powerful words, no action.

Donald Trump, candidate, represented a real, genuine, opportunity to restore America to its Constitutional mandate and a hope….a possibility…..to halt what was considered inevitable: the ascension of Hillary Clinton. The moment he began to trend in the polls, The Establishment went into high gear to protect their chosen one and, in doing so, attempt to close the book on this Representative Republic.

Where Trump-as-President was concerned, he was certainly NOT an ideal candidate. Since every Presidential candidate makes lots of promises, and based on Trump’s past, which has been a mixed bag of leaning every which way on any and every issue, it could be easily concluded that there’d be NO intention of doing anything substantive, should he win the election. He just wanted to add “POTUS” to his CV, right?

Whomever might be elected, one thing was for sure: the country was a mess.

At the end of the Obama administration, America was $20 TRILLION in debt and

chalked up a $600 BILLION deficit. Labor force participation rate was 62%. Food stamp recipients at record high, welfare recipients at record high. The ACA (Obamacare) was a growing nightmare of taxation and regulation. America’s foreign policy (whatever there WAS of one) was a joke. Despots the world over were delighted to be able to deal with a gutless, spineless, gullible milquetoast, who would send them complete incompetents like Hillary Clinton and John Kerry.

NOVEMBER 8^TH, 2016

Then, Donald Trump became President Trump.

The fact that he WAS elected (yes, Democrats, he DID win the election), set him up for immediate hostility from Democrats AND the GOP AND the media.

But then, he did the unthinkable. He set out….immediately…to go about fulfilling his campaign promises. Of course, we’ll see whether the legislative parts of his aggressive agenda survive legislative and judicial scrutiny, but, without question, his moves, thus far, have been to restore Constitutional primacy. His proposals have begun to restore power to the states and to individuals (in homage to the Tenth Amendment). His nomination, then confirmation of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court restored balance to the Supreme Court. He’s overturned nearly all of Obama’s last-moment regulations. Rendered Dodd Frank meaningless. He’s, even now, appointing Conservative justices to the federal bench. In short, he’s begun to dismantle nearly 80 years of Socialism in our government.

WHERE WE ARE

Let’s be VERY clear about something: if Trump’s agenda gets passed, he, and America, will succeed; and succeed BIG. If Trump is successful, The Establishment will LOSE. And they will lose BIG. So, the mission for Democrats, the media and the GOP is to make sure that Trump’s agenda fails. They don’t care HOW negatively it affects you, they don’t care whether The Constitution is rendered useless (in fact, that is EXACTLY what they want), they don’t care what happens to you. The Establishment, united in their desire to continue the drive toward Statism, operate on two fundamental concepts.

-       First: “The ends justify the means”. The ‘ends’ is a Socialist state. The ‘means’ is any lie, any confabulation, any violent act. In the end, the ‘means’ includes attempting to take President Trump all the way out.

-       Second: As attributed to Francois de Charette:  “on ne saurait faire d’omelette sans casser des oeufs”; where a Socialist state is the omelette and YOU are the ‘oeufs’.

Right now, America has the best chance, in the last 70+ years, to restore The Constitution to Supreme Law of the land. Alone, Trump cannot do it. Alone, he WILL fail. Depending on the GOP, he will fail; they are NOT on his, or The Constitution’s, side.

The ONLY way to restore The Constitution is through YOUR action; YOUR activism, YOUR self-education, YOUR determination, YOUR persistence, YOUR ability and willingness to expose the lies, YOUR willingness to do whatever it takes….including physical defense…to defend freedom.

As Rahm Emanuel so eloquently borrowed, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste.” So, The Establishment is creating a serious crisis, built of voter ignorance and complacency, lies, and conveniently forgotten history.

With every success, The Establishment will become increasingly unhinged and openly hostile. Count on more lies. Count on more made-up stories. Count on increasing violence. Count on insurrection.

So, you have a choice to make. Right now and every day. EVERY day. EVERY moment.

If you choose to do nothing, America will lose. If you choose to engage, and continue to engage, America WILL win.

This Representative Republic is too precious, too necessary, to allow to relegated to the ash heap of history. It IS worth fighting for.

The “Silent Majority”? No more.
