The Republic is lost and gone. It exists now in name only and everyone will simply play it lip service.
We suffered a velvet coup – no one noticed, no one believed it. Yet the evidence is all there, right in your faces – and everyone pretends nothing has changed. Factions and party cheering the shell game to preserve the facade of what we once were, while the masterminds play us all like cards.
More than Half the population has made government their god, and a quarter of the other half is looking to make their chosen political messiah, king. More than two-thirds of the country now look at the Office of President as a monarchy; a defacto dictatorship that will benefit them, their desires and their causes. This fact is made self-evident by the numbers of people who assume that their candidate will be able to do all the things they campaign on via diktat: Make the sea levels fall; stop the Climate; remake all treaties and trade agreements; Build a wall, make Mexico pay for it; punitive tariffs; punish banks; redistribute wealth; ban guns etc., etc., etc. They care not for whatever character flaws, past associations, past positions or wavering statements their Chosen makes. He/She/It will lead them and theirs to the promised land of government redistributed prosperity to those who salute and support their Chosen, and everlasting punishment for those who are declared traitors for failure to prostrate themselves before their One.
The hatred and vitriol being flung at everyone who does not support their political messiah, has reached levels of frightening proportion: Death threats; banning from social media and forum sites; Lawsuits; Promises of retribution; calls for Party purging of those who will not bend the knee to the presumptive nominee.
Everything we are witnessing right now, are the death throes of a civil society fast devolving into the morass of anarchy, tribalism and Statism.
It’s what history teaches every failed republic goes through right before the sown seeds of chaos and massive upheaval gives way to an oppressive dictatorship that a majority applauds for the empty promise of order, sustenance and revenge. You already hear and see those sentiments being expressed.
We are weak. Divided. Immoral. Ignorant. Unthinking. Unprincipled and infected with a fatal case of Normalcy Bias.
The consequences of which we are just beginning to feel.
Is that harsh? Yes. That is harsh. But the truth often is.
And this people do not want to hear it.
As history teaches – a debased people never want to hear about the consequences they are about to reap, and they often set upon those trying to warn and plead with them to stop and reverse course. They retreat violently into the solace of the corrupted institutions they think are there to protect them.
Let me state a fact: this election is not going to save us. None of these people running for the office of dictator - er, president, are going to save us from the consequences sown that we have yet to experience. Indeed much of the policies being trumpeted by both major candidates are simply a continuity of the very things that have diminished us and put us at risk in the first place. Notwithstanding my contention that we saw our last legitimate national election back in 2008. Cook County went national and 2012 revealed the depths of the velvet coup we refuse to acknowledge even now. In the last four years, tyranny has been institutionally entrenched by both parties and an Executive dictatorship was handed to Obama on a silver platter by the very party sent there to stop him.
Today, this people insist that the election of their Chosen is going to right all the wrongs and stop the meddlesome tyranny that so many are grown accustomed.
How sad the level of ignorance of both history and human nature.
The fact is we cannot stop tyranny by civil means, PERIOD. The Lawless are not going to be restrained by more law when they are pushing and passing lawlessness and societal anarchy in the name of diversity, tolerance and acceptance.
Neither can we enjoy the blessings of liberty when most of the nation no longer shares our core principles or culture. Saving a rotting culture and discarded Republic are not possible without a national repentance, which even few churches and leaders are even willing to mention, much less implore. Instead we have intolerant “tolerance”: Chrislam; Black Lives Matters; Nationalist Populism and Democratic Socialism. Any opposition surrenders itself wholesale to threats from those groups or it tears itself apart in virulence unseen towards those whom perpetrated their servitude in the first place.
We have yet to fully reap what we have already sown, and God is not going to hear a nation’s pleas in calamity when it has discarded Him.
Instead, He is going to laugh at us because He has given us over to our own ways. Proverbs 1:24-32
http://biblehub.com/context/proverbs/1-24.htmTruly this people demand to do what is right in their own eyes and destroy those who dare attempt to restrain their passions . Whether it be killing their unborn, identifying themselves as the opposite sex so as to play pervert in public bathrooms, or force those “holy rollers” to participate in their wickedness and celebrate it by force of law. The vast majority turn an indifferent eye while an activist minority grow ever-more violent at any perceived slight. The people seig-heil the candidate who appeals to their basest instincts and denounces those as evil whom plead with a people to reconcile themselves to righteousness, to recapture and cherish a morality and heritage they no longer consider valid because “pragmatism” trumps principle.
The Cup of Iniquity runneth over, and The Almighty Lord of All Creation will laugh at us when our next 9-11 befalls us. I can say that with absolute certainty, because His Word tells us that He will when after examples and pleadings of the Watchmen, the people refuse to heed.
If this makes you angry – your problem is with the truth. Perhaps your faith is in men and their institutions, rather than on the foundational principles that once upheld us as a people. A problem which gets to the actual root cause of why we have arrived at this point to begin with.
