When They Came For Us, We Had Already Done The Job For Them

  Perhaps it's just me, but the answer to online  censorship is not tucking tail and running, but rather the "Hail Hydra" approach. Every account shut down should be met with seven new accounts opening up. What exactly is the benefit in saying "Oh, they might stop me from speaking, so I am going to preemptively shut up"?

  I have been quite flabbergasted at the "Imma gonna quit" crowd. THIS, boys and girls, is why conservatives are losing.  We can't keep our voices if we leave at the first sign of any push back.


 I have a serious problem with a media platform, in an election year, silencing opposition voices. I have an even bigger problem with conservative voices volunteering to pack up and leave.

 We were told that conservative voices weren't wanted in schools.

 So we left.

 We were told conservative voices weren't wanted in Hollywood.

 So we left.

 We were told conservative voices weren't wanted in media.

 So we left

 We were told that conservative voices were not wanted in government

 So we left

 We were told that conservative voices were not wanted on social media.

So

we

left

 Holy crap people,  does NO ONE have to come for us, we just simply, show ourselves out.  How is THAT a strategy for winning?

 In life, the old adage still holds true, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease".  One has to be the squeakiest wheel in this game. And conservatives are still playing "Thank you Sir, can I have another", with shuffling feet and downturned eyes. Yet, we we have the audacity to complain when our congressmen represent us to a T.

 Look, for example, at the fight for a defining core conservative principle, The Right to Life, versus the core defining liberal principle, Abortion on Demand. In the public square we have screeching liberal women vehemently, unabashedly, marching with vagina hand puppets, even full body costumes, to protest state governments defunding Planned Parenthood being praised as good, wholesome, unobjectionable, righteous even.

 On the other side, women marching solemnly, prayerfully, with actual pictures of aborted babies, being vilified as gross, disgusting, objectionable, inflammatory, accusatory, evil, mean. Do we indeed have the courage of our convictions? Are we still watching, supporting the network that brought us this?  Yes, we are. We politely eat what is put on our plate, and wonder why we keep getting fed garbage.

 College campuses are another ground that we have lost, without a proverbial shot fired. Due process for men accused of heinous crimes are being trampled upon with impunity. We have even had presidential candidates praise this nonsense. Any voice that criticizes is met with accusations of being a rape apologist or worse, an actual rapist. Those words, just like the readily bandied "racist" are effective at melting conservatives like water on a witch. "What a world" indeed. Perhaps there is some merit after all, in the SJW claim that words are violence, when the threat of being called names keeps people from speaking their minds.

 If our principles are not important enough for us to stand for them, how to we expect to win hearts and minds? Especially when we have hogtied and gagged ourselves voluntarily. We can not afford to hover outside the window, moping like sad vampires of old, waiting to be invited in. We must boldly go in, as it were, and be ready to verbally stand and defend our hills. Waving a white flag and walking off of them surely is a strategy for a loss.

De Facto Sharia

As I mentioned in a previous post, Germany is having a bit of a rape culture problem ( though to be honest, it's a cultural rape problem, but whatevs). The revised number is now up to 150 reported complaints during a 1000 man violent sexual assault rampage. The descriptions of the men were specific and quite problematic for authorities. Seems all of the perpetrators had a belief system in common. Most of them were of Arab or African origin ( as per witness description), some specifically, Syrian refugees, by their own admission. They literally told police that “I am Syrian. You have to treat me kindly. Mrs Merkel invited me"

Merkel, Time's Person Of the Year, herself, has come out with strong condemnation, of the victims of course, for not taking the proper precautions. While not specifying head to toe coverings and related male escorts when going in public, one can only assume.

Thus, de facto sharia, without even a fight. The strong man is tied, he shaved his own head, and can only watch as his women are raped and sold as chattel.

  Here in the Evil Patriarchal bastion USA,  feminists have been decrying words, glances and thoughts as rape. A man talks to you on campus, rape. If he looks at you, rape. If he thinks you are unattractive and refuses to have sex with you, rapity rape. One can only hope that Merkel can take time from governing/ruining Germany long enough to do a speaking tour of American universities.

Well Who The Hell are You

Well Who the Hell Are You?

  "But that's not who we are as a country".

  Sloppy, repetitive, and mostly inaccurate platitudes pronounced from on high by our political class, our betters, on both sides of the aisle.

  We should be acutely mindful when top Democrats and Republicans are parading out the exact same talking points, separately, yet somehow seemingly bipartisan on this one important issue. 

  Well who are we?

  We are a country founded on individual liberty and due process, all of which the same people spouting the above sentiments, want to curtail.

  The very same people saying it is un American to not take in any and every immigrant standing on our doorstep are good with arbitrarily putting citizens on lists and depriving them of free movement. They are also good with taking that list and depriving citizens of their natural right to bear arms, without due process. 

That is not who we are as a country.

  Writs of assistance, general search warrants were a major bone of contention at the time of our independence, so much so that they were proscribed in the constitutions of several states and the Federal Government.  Yet we have Stop and Frisk cheered, NSA instituted, Patriot Acts lauded, and various roadside checkpoints for our own safety, of course.

 That is not who we are as a country.

  We are a country founded on principles of free speech, delivered by free presses. Instead our press is beholden to the political class, and only print what promotes their world view. Alternate viewpoints, in the meantime, are labeled hate speech, denialism, and dangerous. Words and speech are labeled violence and are punishable as if they were.

That is not who we are as a country.

  We are a country whose founding document declares that religion is off limits to the federal government.  Instead, we are told by our government that whatever they want done is our moral duty to have done. It is our moral duty to have nuns provide birth control. Taking in refugees is the Christian thing to do. Making sure everyone, male and female, has access to abortion is God's work. Baby Jesus in a manger, the 10 Commandments, Christmas Trees and St. Nickolaus however are an affront to common decency and are relegated to the hidden chambers of our homes. 

  That is not who we are as a country.

  Our constitution includes checks and balances separating the co-equal branches of government, with clearly written specifics on who is allowed what powers. We now have President Penphone usurping congressional powers and legislating unilaterally from his desk. 

  That is not who we are as a country.

  Invoking our founders, and our history, when it suits, denying and disparaging them when it doesn't, the political classes are trying to turn it all on its head. They are flogging us with our sacred texts with one hand, while lighting them on fire with the other. And we, the people, have given our consent.

  That is not who we are as a country
