Of, By, and For: Lincoln vs Obama

Abraham Lincoln was guided by an over-arching belief in the rightness of our nation’s founding concepts:

…we here highly resolve … that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Barack Obama also believes in a government of the people, by the people, and for the people–he just thinks that those are different groups of people. That is exactly the difference between conservatives and progressives.

Progressives believe that the most intelligent and most moral of society must be in charge, and they believe that systems of credentials established within progressive enclaves can reliably indicate those qualities. They believe that this ruling class must have the power to compel the human development of those more backward or more simple than … Continue reading →

Draft: Of, By, and For: Lincoln vs Obama

Doing research for my “Three Speeches” paper (which has been expressed  so far in my Marxism of Barack Obama posts), I noticed a defining difference between progressives and conservatives.  The jumping-off point is actually a line from the Gettysburg Address, which at any rate is worth reproducing in whole as often as possible:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of … Continue reading →

Electoral Treason

As I discuss in my post on Ethical Resistance, the ends are not so much what determines who is a domestic enemy of the Constitution.  Face, it, many people would like to change the Constitution, and that desire is not unconstitutional.  No matter what changes are made, if they are made through valid, Constitutional method, the change is “in bounds”.  If each change withstands scrutiny, and the constitution itself is changed to allow new or different methods, and then those methods are used to effect further change, this is all constitutional.  This is why a defense of the Constitution as it currently stands is critical.  Right now the biggest threat I see to the future of the Republic is the collaborative … Continue reading →

Sometimes, Conservative Nostalgia is Progressivism

Right down to the de-industrializing impulse that winds up massacring intellectuals and reducing millions to the enslaved subsistence farmers, too busy starving to fight back.  A friend of mine, who is a good guy and a committed social and fiscal conservative, posted the following, for which I took him to task.  I do not doubt his commitment or his intents, but he is whistling past the grave here, revealing a potentially “fatal” logic bomb.  I have replicated the whole thing below.

My conservative friend:

Thought for the day: Two hundred years ago, an American spent most of his day WORKING to hunt, farm and anything else that provided the basics of food, shelter and clothing to survive. They were, of necessity, self-reliant and independent so it’s no wonder … Continue reading →

Another #Occupy useful idiot was killed today in Oakland, fighting over a bag of weed. Video at Breitbart’s Big Government.

Good!

Did you think anything else was going to happen? When cowardly public officials fail to condemn and counteract lawlessness, the result is more lawlessness.
In this country now we punish success and virtue and we reward failure and vice.  That odd feeling in your gut is the life-expectancy of the Republic contracting abruptly, and we all know it in our bones.  This is the way things end.

They are shooting each other as the weed runs out.  Could anything be more pathetic?  If you don’t want your head cracked, then do not attempt to take by force what is not yours, whether it’s dope or … Continue reading →

The End of the Republic

First they came for Reagan’s Legacy,
and I didn’t speak out because that’s in the past.
Then they came for Sarah Palin,
and I didn’t speak out because she wasn’t running anyway.
Then they came for Herman Cain,
and I didn’t speak out because he was not perfect.
Then they came for the RINO who wound up as the nominee,
And he went down in flames along with the House majority.
The End.

From time to time I meet a person who makes me think that more of that person is exactly what this world needs. Stacy Swimp is one of those rare and heartening finds. Please meet a man with whom I am proud to associate in various online Tea Party settings.

I am a proud American who just so happens to be of African descent (I am the great, great, great, great grandson of Peter Adams, who was an African Slave on a South Carolina plantation). I am a black man who does indeed embrace the absolute best of the values of my ancestors and I have learned from the mistakes as well.

I have made up my mind wherever I go, I shall go as a man and … Continue reading →

Things I do not have time to write about:

Barack Obama is a domestic enemy of the Constitution

[pullquote]We we do not oppose our enemies and we do not support our allies[/pullquote]He is dismantling our defenses, economy, civil society, and rule of law. Contracts are changed by fiat, private companies are ordered to shift assets to do what Congress refuses to authorize, laws great and small are not upheld or defended. Immigration checks of transport hubs are shut down from coast to coast, we just surrendered in Iraq and will shortly in Afghanistan, we put al-Qaeda in power in Libya and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. We we do not oppose our enemies and we do not support our allies, who must now make accommodations with our enemies … Continue reading →

Bad Cop on Streets, Good Cop in White House

This is the post I had hoped not to publish. I wrote this doom & gloom post at the same time I wrote this far more sanguine post regarding the “Occupants”, around this point:

These are not anti-globalization hooligans upset about where their coffee is harvested.  These are our fellow Americans ruined by our Marxist indoctrination system of culture and education, embittered by pre-ordained foreclosures of too-good-to-be-true loans that the banks made at the point of the government’s guns, and whipped into a teeming mass by the Provocateur-in-Chief.

Now is the time to talk our fellow Americans down from the ledge.

We have failed to do this, or the Marxist organizers have simply beat us.  Make no mistake, we are … Continue reading →
