Will You Fight?

Image
Demoralization is a tactic of the enemy. Many great nations with great armies went down fighting while preaching to their conqueror the futility of the fight. Did Robert E. Lee dig in and fight defensively, or did he take the fight to the North knowing that his only hope was to break their will to fight? And how did Lincoln respond? Did he hold true to victory? So here we are. It's 2020 and we're seeing things that we never imagined. And some of things we imagined, we're realizing are far more terrible when we actually experience it. I had a facebook encounter a few weeks ago with a friend of a friend. I came face to face with evil then. In that exchange, I met a man who gloried in violence. He was smug. He was full of contempt. His desire was to cause as much harm to middle America as possible. I wasn't ready for that. But good. Here we are. Things have changed. We're not in Kansas anymore. Wake up call.

Many memes not only state a position, but insult anyone who would disagree with such an obviously brilliant assertion.

Time to be White

Image
Marxist theory has white Americans labelled as the oppressors and all other races the oppressed. This is fundamental to their philosophy and their cause. Through media, Americans have been programmed to accept this as truth, a core narrative that has gone unchallenged for years. We believe it's natural, but it is not. Self-hate is not the norm for most people in most countries. It's become so normal, we can't even imagine being proud of our heritage. Now we are in the season for violence. It's starting and it's going to get worse. There is no force, no voice, no narrative for peace and reconciliation. The only way this would end would be for white Americans to stand up for themselves and say: "NO MORE GUILT! NO MORE SHAME!" Self-love does not equal hate, despite the constant reinforcement of that narrative. "White's cannot love themselves because...um....Hitler." I'll admit it. I'm wary of "white pride.&qu
