Today, the Theft of History, Tomorrow, the Theft of a Country
All across our blessed land, statues erected in the past by those who felt strongly enough to erect these statues, are being desecrated, vandalized, and otherwise destroyed by mobs. Sadly, these same mobs know even less about history than they do about the fact that they are being played by those who want to destroy the United States of America.
It started with statues and monuments to heroes of the Confederacy (http://www.drewnickell.com/?p=1451 ) being defaced and destroyed, then this destruction proceeded to include Union generals, past presidents, explorers, missionaries, abolitionists and virtually anyone else from the nation’s past. The angry young mobs- totally ignorant of the nation’s history due to the “politically-missioned” indoctrination they received from their union-member teachers (in place of actually teaching our nation’s true history)- are now the play children of those who nefariously stage these demonstrations with an intent to divide the country and destroy its tenets.
Once the monuments are gone, then the next target (already coming into scorn by leftist professors in our publicly-funded universities) will be the nation’s founding documents- the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and its Bill of Rights, and the Federalist Papers which constitute the mindset and intent behind these documents, and why they were crafted thusly. Once these have been marginalized to become the mere musings of white men who owned black slaves, then the whole structure of our representative democracy comes crashing down in the wake of political correctness and historical revisionism.
Make no mistake- that is what all of this is about. Destroy the very fabric of a nation, tear down its reminders of how we got to where we are, destroy its institutions, and so divide its populace that the entire nation comes tumbling down.
Democrats, in their refusal to unconditionally condemn these actions and even enforce existing laws designed to protect these monuments, are just as complicit in this destruction as the angry mobs, themselves. In truth, Democrats all want these monuments to come down, but they lack the political mandate and the intestinal fortitude to make their intentions known, so they silently sit back and let the mobs do their own dirty work for them.
Republicans, in their reticence to speak out against this same destruction for fear that their adversaries and the media (one and the same) would label them “racist,” abide this wave of violence out of the same feckless cowardice shown by their Democrat opponents.
Yes, all of these attempts to destroy these monuments and, in turn, our nation- along with the refusal of our elected representatives and governmental officials to stop this from happening in the first place- are inherently political and are taking place, not coincidentally, in a presidential election year.
Yes, it is all about November, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
So, while we are then left with a single man- the President of the United States Donald J. Trump- to stand in the way of those intending to take this nation, as well as its monuments, down for good, we are also standing on the precipice of national suicide…
…and those who hate our nation and all it stands for, wouldn’t have it any other way.
