MARXIST PC THE GREATEST THREAT TO AMERICA

We don't have a misogyny, homophobia or race problem in the USA. What we do have is a pernicious and relentless Marxist - driven PC effort to undermine our values and traditions, hobble our ability to critically think, destroy our system of constitutional government, and transform us into submissive drones tolerant of and dependent upon a ruling class devoted solely to ensuring it's political and economic domination. Our best defense: remain unbowed and engaged, and rigidly resist Marxist propaganda and subversion.

SECESSION: A SOLUTION FOR RESTORING CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER

As I contemplate the Socialist Democrat onslaught on our liberties, it occurs to me that ONLY if patriots are organized and are not inclined to be "summertime patriots" when the rubber hits the road can we hope to restore constitutional order on any level of government, either State or national. That said, there are other alternatives, perhaps more efficacious and less daunting, the principal alternative being secession. (And no, secession need not entail bloodshed or needless national turmoil. The bloodletting and awful destruction attending secession in 1861 was entirely preventable and intolerably wrong. I think we learned that lesson. In short, the social, et. al. conditions which prevailed in 1861 do not exist today. Thus, to secede today only requires the unshakISable will of a State's citizenry fervently committed to restoring constitutional order in their State.)

For a time, I believed that State nullification was the best recourse to stem the tide of Federal corruption and overreach. I am no longer as convinced of that. Why? Because most State capitals have morphed into vassalized, ineffectual pawns and replicas of Leviathan, the very entity the States should have been checkmating all along. SO, if not the federal or State governments or We the People in the aggregate, then what sovereign governing entity remains to restore constitutional order, though, perhaps, on a more limited territorial basis? The citizens of the individual States, of course.

Since our chances of restoring order on a national level and in many States is most certainly wishful thinking, then a majority of citizens in individual States who are firmly committed to adhering to first principles as their foundation of government, is the obvious solution.

Providence and the founders provided us many remedies to tyranny. Whichever remedy works best is the remedy to be pursued. No need to feel cornered or helpless if we are organized, principled and committed. We must be mindful of our natural rights and of both the Constitution and of our Declaration of Independence. Those documents are more relevant today than ever before in our history.

Our Founders would tell us the People are the "final arbiters". And since restoring constitutional governance--as envisioned by our founders and adopted by the original 13 States--on a national level today is likely a pipe dream, the remedy or "fix" is in the hands of the citizens of the several States. Thus, I would counsel against civil war and revolution. Unnecessarily and avoidably turbulent and destructive. The most sensible and manageableable course of action to restore constitutional order may well be peaceful secession which might induce other States to follow suit. Such a ground swell might even eventually cascade into an uplifting national transformation. Point is our irreparably shattered constitutional government cannot be restored to full health without this intervening State-level action. Of this I am convinced. And, obviously, secession can only occur in a State where such an action is fully embraced by a majority of citizens in that State.

Something to ponder.

Trump Caves

Yes, Trump caved. But, politically and practically, he really had no choice. To honor his constitutional duty as Commander-in-Chief to defend the country, he was duty bound to provide paychecks to those encharged with our defense, that being the Border Patrol and Coast Guard. In short, his constitutional responsibilities eclipsed his urgent need for funds to construct "the wall", a longer term effort. (Well, until February when the CR expires, that is.) Trump is taking the high road while intransigent, sputtering San Fran Nan myopically gloats like a clueless tween. Cleverly and importantly, Trump demonstrated to his detractors his ability to gracefully rise above the fray and to do what had to be done. Of course, he knows that self-consumed Pelosi, glorying in her pyrrhic victory today, will remain intransigent, and that the likelihood of a good-faith effort on her part to fashion a sensible and meaningful deal with Trump over the wall before yet another shutdown in February is, at best, remote. But, having shown his good-faith and compassion, if she again arrogantly nixes his funding request, he will necessarily go the nat'l emergency/Army Corps of Engineers route-- AND keep the gov't open as well. (Thank you, Mr. Trump. A win-win, I'd say.) And the House Hag will have lost what tiny bit of credibility she has left. The wall will be built, folks. Count on it. And over the next two awful years, we can expect more shutdowns and relentless gridlock. With the thugs and subversives in charge of the House, we really can't expect anything more. And with the Pelosi hordes in charge there, gridlock sounds pretty attractive to me

CATHOLIC ABORTIONISTS TOLERATED BY CHURCH LEADERS

So, among other CINOs (Catholic in Name Only), why hasn't the Catholic Church denied Cuomo (the nation's preeminent abortionist) communion or excommunicated him? Aside from the obvious, that being that the well-healed and elite tend to routinely overlook each others sins, but assuming for a moment that this view is in error, my burning question remains. WHY?

A conscientious Christian should properly question why Cuomo has not been properly disciplined and denied Holy Communion by Albany Bishop Edward Scharfenberger, or by New York's Cardinal Timothy Dolan. And while we may not like the well-spun answer we get, my question remains of critical importance.

Surely Bishop Scharfenberger is aware of the Catholic Church's Code of Canon Law, Code 915: "Those upon whom the penalty of excommunication or interdict has been imposed or declared, and others who obstinately persist in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion."

Or could it be that even some Christian leaders are falling under the spell of Marxism. Years of Progressive PC and related indoctrination may have taken a larger toll than we had ever thought possible. Take our health care, our education, our guns, but once they've subverted our religious tenets we are virtually finished, reduced to insentient and obedient drones. It would appear that the Socialist Democrats are no longer merely pushing the envelope; they are now ruthlessly shoving the envelope down our collective throats. Welcome to Dystopia.

KHRUSCHEV A PROPHET?

“For us in Russia, communism is a dead dog, while for many people in the West, it is still a living lion.” (Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Nobel Prize winning Russian novelist and historian).

Well, of this we can all be certain. With the nurturing of this country's Socialist Democrat Party, Marxism is definitely on the rise in America. The ol' Communist murderers and dictators in Hell must be laughing their collective butts off. Today, Khruschev's 50's warning that Communism will bury the USA seems more than an idle threat. The lingering question is, what will we do substantively to stop our transformation and collapse?

INELIGIBILITY ISSUE: Shoot the Messenger and Do the Research Yourself

SO VERY TEDIOUS. INELIGIBILITY DENIERS ARE ALREADY CASTIGATING THOSE OF US WHO UNDERSTAND THAT OBAMA, CRUZ, RUBIO AND NOW KAMALA HARRIS ARE CONSTITUTIONALLY INELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT OR VP. Honestly, folks, it's not rocket science. When I read this maddening article and caught the scent of arrogant dismissiveness and disregard for original meaning, I left these brief comments with the likely foolish hope that at least one of these purveyors of misinformation would honestly and objectively research the matter a little. Anyway, my brief comments, for whatever good they do to anyone:

"It's incredible and deeply frustrating how misinformed folks are about the real meaning of natural born citizen and citizen. HUGE constitutional difference. A modicum of serious research on line would be both enlightening and liberating. For starters, check out federalistblog, then Publius Huldah blog. So much solid evidence that Obama, Rubio, Cruz and, yes, super elitist Kamala are, hands down, ineligible. The Constitution cannot defend itself; that is up to us. But, today who the hell cares about that dusty, inconvenient parchment, huh? Obviously, not many at all..."

'“(A)ll persons born or naturalized in the United States, AND SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION THEREOF, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."' Sadly, the ineligibility deniers will cavalierly and dishonestly blow this off too. Truth interferes with their preconceived viewpoints. And so goes a once venerable and genuine constitutional republic. Maddening."

"If any alien/visitor drops by the US and is somehow adjudged to be 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof', then all American travelers abroad are similarly and completely subject to the jurisdiction of those governments as well. As such, there would be no need for American Embassies to protect them. Sojourners are, of course, required to follow the laws of the countries they visit/pass through, but in no way are they subject to that country's jurisdiction or otherwise afforded those protections reserved to legal residents and citizens. If you want to break new ground and jettison the academic flavor of the month, then read the words of Sens. Trumbell, Howard, and Bingham regarding citizenship, natural born citizenship and the meaning of "subject to the jurisdiction thereof". These are the guys who wrote the 14th amendment. Can't get more authoritative than that, huh? But, who cares, right? Our own personal agendas and frivolous preconceived viewpoints are far more important."

Kamala Harris Shouldn't Be President, But Not Because She Isn't 'Eligible'

Some on the right are questioning Harris' constitutional ability to run for president, but the evidence says she's in the clear ... but still bad for America.

The Constitution's 10th Amendment Cannot Enforce Itself

True, Mr. Jefferson. But, tragically, you and the framers never fully anticipated elective offices morphing into career paths, and sovereign States being forcibly and/or financially enticed to accept their transformation into vassals of the federal government, each State government a sordid microcosm of its master in DC.

Yes, Mr. Jefferson, modern Americans have managed to flip you and your compatriots' best laid plan, the Constitution, on its head. But you and your illustrious colleagues, understanding human nature, DID foresee the very real possibility, indeed the inevitability, of this republic's being reduced to that of an oligarchy or dictatorship. You were dead to rights on that prediction.

In any event, sir, I sincerely thank you and your fellow patriots for expending so much effort and blood to establish what you had hoped to have been a durable constitutional republic. And, you must admit, unlike many of you who divined the end of the republic by 1825 or thereabouts, we have miraculously managed to limp along into the 21st century, of course as anything but a genuine constitutional republic--oh, the trappings of a republic, for sure, but a faint replica nonetheless.

So, State Nullification, an otherwise common sense and natural remedy to check federal tyranny is, today, an unrealistic hope. The People and their respective States have long ago surrendered their sovereignty and faithfulness to first principles, all for a few pieces of federal silver.

So you good folks showed us the way, but we foolishly veered left. The fault is not yours; it is ours.
