When the Law Is Optional, You Have Tyranny
Kurt Schlichter
How do you have a democracy if you don’t have laws? And how do you have laws if you don’t enforce them? Laws are gifts; we reject law at our peril. One of the most troubling aspects of recent American political discourse is the absolute willingness to simply ignore laws, which is kind of a problem. You see, the basis of democracy is we the people, through our legislature and the guy we elect president, make laws. So democracy is, at its most basic level, the ability to make laws. But if you make a law, and then you don’t enforce it because you choose not to, or you use obnoxious methods like deceit and corrupt judges to prevent its enforcement, then you don’t really have laws. And if you don’t have laws, you don’t have a democracy.
But now, the things we decree through the democratic process have become lawless. The left has absolutely no hesitation in simply ignoring what the people want. Oh, they’ll argue that they’re doing what the people want, but in a democracy, the people manifest what they want through the passage of laws through the Democratic process. What we have today is the neutering of laws through the process of a bunch of leftists getting together and deciding what they want and trying to jam it down our collective throat.
It’s easy to understand the temptation for lawlessness. The best way to deal with an obstacle is to ignore it where possible, and it’s entirely possible when you have a regime media, court system, and an absolutely anti-democratic Democrat Party all angry because they can’t get what they want because the majority of Americans don’t want the same kind of deviant communist race garbage that the left prefers. So, ignoring the law, therefore ignoring democracy, is imperative. They imagine we must to save democracy by burning it down; all that they will do is end up with ashes.
