John Longenecker Safer Streets Republicans, now's your
chance.
The core of socialism is hatred of
freedom and independence from officials. It is an impairment of
insisting on control of others for soothing relief from personal
suffering as if social change will become personal balm for old
wounds.
The idea that some officials feel so
threatened by patriotism confirms the fears of patriots. Officials
and patriotism should go hand in hand, but do not since the
sixties. Too many wish patriots ill. These are the very last people to
have political power.
But if the incoming Congress does
not see this in colleagues and others, we're just as cooked as
without them. It is this sort of go-along-to-get-along values
system which makes it hard to see any difference in the parties.
Republicans talk about conservative values, but will compromise
with leftists who hate America even when they are sent to
Washington to be partisan. Lady Liberty is partisan, for
Pete's sake.
Otherwise, now's your chance,
Republicans, to serve the Republic. It means no such thing as
sensible gun laws, it means no tolerance for official spitefulness
against patriotism, and it means being so much in touch with
liberty constituents that there really is no future for socialist
candidates.
Republicans were not sent to
Washington to see things their way, but sent to Washington to see
things our way.

What this video
does is intentionally widens the "us vs. them" divide between
citizens and police, heightens the paranoia, and makes the most
innocuous of encounters much more dangerous. Now, thanks to SPLC,
something as simple as having a political bumper sticker on your
car, supposedly protected speech, takes a heightened alert
situation and urges police to view non-leftist political sentiment
as a potentially lethal personal threat. Because with all the
conflation, what message will be enough to trigger a protective
reaction?

It is probably accurate to say that no country in the world has
less government intervention in the lives of its citizens than
America does. But Democrats do not like such American
distinctiveness. They want America to be like other countries. The
president, recall, does not believe in American
exceptionalism.
When I first heard this
story, I had to think about it for a bit:
