We are in a civil war. A civil war which, so far, only one side is fighting.
Given the unwillingness of local governments to stop this civil war as it exponentially grows – even its sympathy with the side that hates this country and is exuberantly attempting to take it down (which – this is the ultimate irony – will be disastrous for most of the mindless, programmed fools engaging in it), our federal government – read that military – may well be the last line of defense.
And the people who think this has a thing to do with George Floyd or racial justice – that Floyd is anything but an excuse to riot steal destroy and burn – are as mindless and programmed as the ones systematically decimating our cities.
Tell me: what is their payoff? What will they get if large parts of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Atlanta, Houston, Denver, etc. are vaporized – along with the livelihoods of countless people who own businesses or are employed there?
What will they “win”, other than whatever goods they can steal? What do they think they will accomplish? Equality? Opportunity? A future for them and the people they care about?
This is sick. This is intolerable. This is unsustainable. And it is going to have to be stopped.
I don’t even want to think about how it might be done.
But as the carnage continues, and Mayors/Governors of states mouth pious platitudes while allowing it to happen while so many of our media lie to our faces about the participants being nothing more than peaceful protesters seeking racial justice, the choices are fewer by the day.
Yes, This is a civil war A civil war that, so far, only one side is fighting.
A civil war that could have been prevented just days ago, but has been aided and, abetted – in some cases, even encouraged – by people like Jacob Frey and Tim Walz and Lori Lightfoot and Bill De Blasio, and Art Acevedo, the moron Chief of Police in Houston), etc. etc. etc.
What happens when the other side starts fighting too?
