Rejecting the counsel of surrender
Why do the Libertarian and Republican parties take their marching orders from the corrupt desideratum of souls in the Democrat ranks of extremists?
Why are those not allied with the leftist extremists who have made a forgotten memory of moderation and true liberalism supposed to make their peace with those schooled on the rancid curdle of platforms that, 20 years ago, would have made the parents of today’s donkey-kings blanch and pull the lever for the other side?
There are those who just want to close the book on dissonant views, and just, like Rodney King of L.A. long ago, “get along.”
If so, if we are to lay down our fuddy-duddian muskets of objection to ideas and slogans and positions that materially affect our world and daily operative function in the country going forward, what is the justification for second, third, or fourth parties?
Why not just create a porridge of one, a single steaming sink of far-out-there postures and positions? And never again go to the polls at all, since it would be an Orwellian exercise in futility – we’d all be the same, voting to ratify the dark schemes and despotisms of the left we-are-all-one bled bots?
Some have been arguing with increasing fervor that we ought to shut up, accept the inevitable, and think of G-d and country as (our view) we are being rampaged against and raped in most senses of the word.
These despairing citizens feel that “most of the country” seems to “agree” on abortion, infinitesimal percentage oddity rights, sieve-borders, bizarrely unproved anthropogenic climate hysterics, negation of fossil fuel benefits, ferocious anti-Israel condemnations, reclaiming guns, blah, blah – vociferously argued concerns until the day before yesterday (i.e., the endless-seeming regime of the present hybridized White House), so, again, why not copy the enslaved and ravaged Yazidi women, who either say yes to the vile demands of their ISIS captors or burn to death in a cage in full view of their siblings?
Why not yield, us too, to the inevitable? We are not yet slaves. Not quite yet.
As with so many “national” surveys and polls purporting to be fair and evenly sourced, taking opinions from a purported even sampling of all, young and old, Dem or Rep, rural and metro, many have been revealed to be skewed and oversampled of just a certain tranche of population. It is thus not clear that everyone is, indeed, on the side of the New Extremo-crats on these issues. As they insist, ignoring the skew.
Many “dissidents” of the reigning forced order, afraid of contumely and rancor, simply keep their peace rather than invite furious argument from the bankrupt crowd that we have seen eagerly accepting blatant lies; career treachery and treason; hatred of whites; disavowal of scholarship; and now, even a catastrophic murdering of innocent police and fact-free legalistic logic-pretzelizing and jumping to conclusions – so long as “everyone” is on the same page about killing infants in utero and the rights of some to marry a salamander, parade licentiously, and join women in bathrooms in paid for breasts or queen-for-a-day femaledom, insist on billions for demented (but costly) unproved non-science, and the like.
Not everyone is on that page.
There are much more important issues on the plate than those now tired excuses for a fight. Triumphalism lives inside these exhausting arguments.
Fact is, the trajectory of time swings the other way in increments perhaps hard to discern, but sure nonetheless. There is no general reason to join with the evidently corrupt and sell-their-soul Other – even what seems at casual glance and without sophisticated sociometric measurement and real science to be majoritarians – for a mess of pottage. The table the extremos set may be laid out, but the nourishment is nil. There’s no there there.
The pendulum cannot always hang in perpetuity on that side, patriots. Eventually, it swings back to sanity.
We have no need to throw down that white flag quite so resignedly.
