The Real Enemy
I’m old enough to remember leftists bawling and hollering about alleged authoritarian aspirations by conservatives and Republicans. Rights were going to be stomped on. People would be thrown in jail for no charges or made-up charges. Political opposition would be criminalized. It sounded good to their base, but it never happened.
The same stuff they hollered about then is actually happening NOW. People have been sitting in jail for 18 months or so (uncharged) for the grand, heinous crime of standing at the bottom of the Capitol Steps on January 6, 2021 while wearing MAGA gear. (Meanwhile, in big liberal cities like NYC, criminals are being let out of jail faster than cops can complete the arrest paperwork.)
People are being run out of (or black-balled from) teaching jobs for daring to be registered Republican or speaking favorably about freedom. Educrats tell us they know better how to raise our kids than we do. Conservative speakers get shouted down on our campuses. Private employers are harangued about participating in any way with freedom-aligned causes or events. Our “state-run’ media silences and / or ridicules conservatism and its advocates.
In the 50’s and 60’s, lefties claimed they were ruined socially and professionally by the label “communist.” Now, lefties wield the epithets “racist,” “bigot,” or “homophobe” to shut down folks or organizations daring to stand up for morals and values and economic freedom. Championing the motto “Make America Great Again” — according to the powers that be in government — makes you a worse than the 9-11 hijackers.
The words have changed over the years, but the effect remains the same.
It seems that we are peppered every day with stories about the powers-that-be in DC and Raleigh SERIOUSLY moaning about the “antiquated,” “outdated” and even “racist” and inconvenient Bill of Rights. These days, those ten items are regularly dismissed, ignored, or “modified” by unelected judges and / or other powers-that-be.
Prominent political supporters, campaign and administration aides for Donald Trump — and even regular Joes who wear MAGA gear or had Trump signs or stickers — are getting their front doors kicked in, homes raided, and cell phones and laptops seized. The MyPillow guy got his phone seized today by the FBI while he was standing in a Hardee’s. Meanwhile, Antifa radicals who firebombed a federal building and are rioting up and down the West Coast every day are being ignored. People are getting cracked down on – via censorship and other methods — for daring to question the legitimacy of the current regime in DC.
The IRS is being stocked up with thousands of additional agents to aid the effort to confiscate the last dimes and pennies we possess.
Even here in pleasant, lovely Pinehurst, we have politicians and their goons fighting any attempt at economic development and working feverishly to stomp legal businesses out of existence.
Daring to speak out against the state got you scooped up by the secret police in The Soviet Union, Cuba and other Latin American dictatorships. It’s happening here NOW.
The media focuses on the horse race between Republicans and Democrats. Neither of those parties have an answer for this. The real fight is between freedom-lovers and authoritarian statists. Authoritarian statists inhabit both of the main parties.
We’ve got Republican officials in Raleigh and DC, in love with manipulating and controlling people’s lives with government, actually going to war against people standing up for freedom and against authoritarian statism.
Any of our alleged friends in political office who continue to maintain radio silence while people continue to sit rotting in jail, for daring to stand for freedom, need to go. If you won’t stand up against statist tyranny, I have zero use for you.
This is serious, folks. It’s about freedom, not the D or the R.
Brant,
I cannot agree with you more. It’s time to see some spine from within the G A. They are with us (ULTRA MAGA) or they are not. Some have got some back tracking to do. An admittance to a serious
error in their reasoning and evidently failure to visualize such mammoth National security concerns, a pledge to repeal HB 951 would be a good start..
NC’S cave to the Left’s Green New Deal strengthens the intentions and efforts of the CCP to strip OUR God given and hard fought for FREEDOM from us Patriots.
Communism looms.. Day by day it becomes a lot easier to realize how hard the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s Arc had to fight.
A remnant son
The saga of HB951 is a sorry tale of our RINO legislative leaders Phil Berger and Tim Moore selling out North Carolinians to greedy special interests. The full story is here: https://www.windaction.org/posts/52951 You may need to click through at the bottom for the full article. The details on how they pulled this off are sickening.
What Berger and Moore did on that issue is much like what they have done on too many issues. They have sold us out. We need to tell our legislators to elect some real Republicans as legislative leaders, not these quisling sell outs to Cooper and the special interests. They have screwed NC’s electric ratepayers to the wall, and we will all pay for their sleazy power politics.
And these traitors are getting ready to do it again on Obamacare Medicaid expansion.
You really have to admire the Democrats at all levels of power for using the power that they are granted to codify their agenda, destroy their opponents and reward their base — however maniacal or communistic (and it IS communism folks) that end game may be.
Contrast this with EVERY GOP politician at every level of government here in Raleigh or DC — with a few notable exceptions like Sanderson, Folwell or Bishop. We have gained NOTHING with these people, lost everything.
Read every article on James G Martin Center site to show you have Tim, Phil have just handed our UNC system over to the leftists. Not a single pol anywhere in this state has cautioned about the vaccine and in fact the fools in Raleigh unanimously voted in Cody, lavishing him w praise. The entire House voted to stand w Afghan refugees and now we know (shocker) they were never vetted. They torpedoed Parents Rights, advocated for Roy’s wet dream of Medicaid expansion and all of the useless DC guys except for Bishop voted to send $$ to money laundering Ukraine. And then there is the most loathsome of all, Thom, who has voted in lockstep w Biden and now seeks to codify gay marriage, which will be used to destroy your church.
The list of betrayals is ENDLESS.
These are the worst people. They HATE us. They do what they do (screw us) because they do not fear us. And believe me they will be leading all of us to the gulags if given the chance.
Read about ECU’s convocation from the Martin site….read…to be enlightened where education, higher education and ‘teachers’ are taking NC students.
We are purged each day from more and more rights.
ANY reaction from any person, party?
McConnell stripped $millions of ads from Az candidate with a shot at winning. The label and causation is, conservative. Those same $$ went to Murkowski in Alaska, frequent dem voter and supporter….See how this works???
I’ll support Robinson; as close to Jesse’s fire as I’ve seen in a while. That’s about it…Voting R means nothing, in this state or at the national level. Absolutely nothing.
Yes. The leftists intend to destroy the last remaining quasi-conservative campus in the UNC system: ECU. NC State has already been infected w DEI at every level. The response from the GOP Higher Education Committee chairs? ‘Wait until the election!’ Kiss my ass.
If the GOP/NCGOP can’t stand up for our kids (note: NONE of them have spoken out about ‘gender affirming’ butchery or signed onto MTG’s bill criminalizing it), they are less than USELESS. They are COMPLICIT.
PS. If you are still donating a dime/buying sports tix to your alma mater, you are finding your own demise. Starve the beast.
Agree. STOPPED giving when campuses were ‘stripped’ of building names. Names that nobody knew anything of or about; the sin was, they were white men. When the annual call came for $$$ (giving for 30Y) my statement was, when the building names go back up, I’ll give. And I haven’t given one penny since and I stopped giving to athletics and buying season tickets. It’s a 2-way street. And NOW, it’s 10x worse than what was occuring a few yrs back. NC BOG is complicit.
Don’t be fooled one bit–the corrupted RINO GOP establishment is delighted the Radical Left’s goon squads are going after true conservatives. You won’t hear a peep out of any of them in our defense. They are worthless. Burr and Tillis are the worst. Our NC congressional Republicans are no better. A sorry lot all.
Its going on here in Pinehurst as well
Blaming Republicans for what they themselves are doing has always been the Democrats’ standard operating procedure. Biden’s “semi-fascist” rhetoric actually tells you how the Democrats are operating themselves in our politics. They have politicized the FBI into a weird twin of the old East German secret police, the Stasi, and the DOJ is not far behind. In fact, responding to a Biden executive order, the DOJ is currently working with leftwing groups to intervene in the 2022 election, and when a watchdog group filed a Freedom of Information request to find out what they are doing, they refused to release it. What is our corrupt DOJ hiding? And this comes as another watchdog group has revealed that a DOJ attorney who works on election matters has twice illegally voted in North Carolina herself, being registered to vote in both the District of Columbia and NC.
That the utterly worthless Mitch McConnell is missing in action in all of this, and the other totalitarian moves of the Biden regime is appalling. McConnell needs to be drummed out of his position. He is fiddling while Rome burns. Our worthless RINO leadership in the General Assembly are little more than mini-McConnells. Berger and Tillis are puppets of the special interests and care nothing about Republican principles. They sell out Republican voters to the special interests regularly and are scheming to do it again on the Obamacare Medicaid expansion.
If too many Republican voters get disgusted and fail to go to the polls in November, all of the sellouts of the RINOs in Washington and Raleigh will be the reason. We badly need new leaders that our voters can believe in.
The only thing that stuns me is the continued unwillingness of conservatives to see that the gop isn’t them…..or about them. Only a mass defection to the Constitution Party will give conservatives a focusing lens they can unite on to pursue a conservative agenda. We tried internal reform of the GOP, they blocked us at every effort, cheating in state chairman elections to ensure the grassroots never take control of the Party. It’s time to unite under a new banner, and give conservative independents something they can believe in again.
