I haven’t done one of these kinds of posts for a while, and while going through my emails on Sunday after being OoO (“Out Of The Office”) on Saturday, these caught my eye as they each spoke to the REAL threat to our “Democracy.”
Sidenote: No, it’s not all the things that the Left is trying to blame being a threat or danger to our “Democracy.” First, we aren’t a Democracy. We’re a Constitutional Republic. Our Founders knew from studying history that direct Democracy always ended up badly. It should be telling that’s what the Democrats want – a direct Democracy so they would have the unbridled Power they so avidly seek at all costs.
Remember – WE who do not ascribe to the Left’s Narrative or philosophy are a danger to them and their continuing assault against the Constitution. It’s that decades-old redefining of our common language. In essence, getting the low-information voters to believe that the Constitution, and those that protect it, are the bad guys.
First up is the old Clinton “Hail Mary Throw” or “Wag the Dog.” When Bill was trying to distract the American public from his cheating on Hillary with his White House intern Monica Lewinsky. NHnative, in a comment on my “Jeanne Shaheen: “Snowfall Is A Thing of the Past” wrote,
Have y’all noticed that as the dollar crashes, the debt rises, the interest rates climb- and all we hear about is the weather and Ukraine?
Distraction. Self-importance. As if Government shouldn’t be telling us what’s really important (in this case, Ukraine)? We’ve been heading towards our Financial Bridge that Congress and <insert President so-and-so here> have been “termiting” for 50 years.
But as Mike Remski points out in “Vermont Doesn’t Have a Sales Tax Holiday Because …”
It’s always difficult to give up revenue in the state.
And there is the “government” in less than 12 words.
Effin morons. It’s not “revenue” it’s MY MONEY.
Ah yes, the “Bruce Currie question” – who’s money is it FIRST? Reminder: Bruce refused, for years, to answer my question until I finally caught him.
Put those two comments together, and it is clear that Government believes that it is set apart from the rest of us.
Actually, that’s EXACTLY what the Founders wanted – a separate and subservient government that only acted when Civil Society didn’t solve problems or in matters delineated in the Constitution. It has now decided (as in, those that claim superiority to us in all ways) that ITS survival and power should come before those who gave their consent to be government.
I really am starting to wonder about that last part. Are we the abused trapped in an abusive relationship, or is this why the Southern Poverty Law Center called us “anti-Government” (they forgot to put “Big” in front of “Government”)? WHY should we continue to give our assent?
Yes, I’m doing the head-scratching bit.
And to wind this up, let’s return to NHnative again on her comment in “It’s NOT Republican vs. Democrat … It’s The Rich Men North of Richmond Versus Us“:
This has 25 Million views right now and it’s been trending number one for days.
If you want your mind blown, start reading the comments here under the song..there are over 100,000 of them. You’ll float back and forth between mad as hell and broken-hearted.
It’s one American after another that is understanding that we’re busting our asses and being screwed over.

[Verse 1]
I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all-day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and drown my troubles away
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is
…
I doubt that the SPLC owns enough electrons and pixels to adequately catalog everyone that is claiming the sentiment expressed by this song for themselves.
But then again, the SPLC is a swamp creature that continuously crawls up to Big Government denizens in saying “issss preciousss” in doing their bidding to get their gold.
‘Cept people are starting to rebel against both.
I am afraid that we have been in a Cold War for quite some time – will it go hot? Or is it when and not if?
Sidenote: Yes, I could have used Gollum as the Featured Image above. But I so wanted to use Jeanne Shaheen in my post about her talking about no more snow but went the other way with the skier. So I used it now.
So here’s Gollum:
A person who has lost his soul and being to Power that he cannot ever fully control. There are a lot of people in Government that get captured BY the Power of Government that never realize or are cognizant of what they have given themselves up to.
