Recently, the nation’s cat ladies have been asking the rest of us, “Aren’t you afraid that Trump is going to become a dictator and start bullying journalists and judges just to get his way?” Of course we’re all suppose to start from the premise that Trump is Hitler reborn and just looking for a reason to impose martial law. The fact that Trump has assiduously adhered to the rules of the game to this point is just proof that he is Hitler. After all, Hitler won an election too and we all know how that worked out.
My answer to that query is, “No, I’m not afraid Trump will do all those things. I’m afraid he won’t do those things.” For the last three decades, probably longer, the guys allegedly on the side of the rest of us, have been obsessed with playing by the rules. The thing I don’t fear is that Trump will “go too far” or fail to respect the rules of the game. I don’t care about those rules anymore. Those rules are the bars of the cage. What we don’t need now is a guy obsessed with procedure. We need a guy willing to break the rules.
We have reached a point where it is heads they win, tails we lose. The game has been rigged to make reforming the system within the rules an impossibility. When a majority of the people favor a policy that the managerial class opposes, the policy gets hamstrung by the rules of the game. All of a sudden, the process is sacred. When the managerial class wants something for their masters, they change the rules so it either flies through or simply happens without anyone noticing. The process is not all that important.
All the blather about America being a nation of laws is just cover for the fact that ours is a lawless nation ruled by lawless men. An obvious example is the Ninth Circuit judges, who have fabricated a legal justification for throwing sand in the gears of a wildly popular executive order issued by President Trump. These are not men enforcing the law or respecting the laws. These are men who hold the law in contempt. All that matters to them is obedience to the weird secular cult we have come to call Progressivism.
If what it takes to break the stranglehold this cult has on society is a dictator willing to toss a few judges from a helicopter, then sign me up for dictatorship. I’d much prefer to live in a society where me and my neighbors meet once a month to govern ourselves and our community, but that’s not on offer. What is on offer now is the post-modern theocracy that uses the corrupted and degraded tools of 18th century liberalism to maintain its grip on society. Squads of government men rounding these people up in the middle of the night sounds pretty good right now.
Totalitarians attempt to change the world and human nature, by controlling all aspects of society, including the granular aspects of the political system. It’s what makes reform impossible as we are quickly seeing with the opposition to Trump’s policies. It’s not that they object, on policy grounds, to the very mild reforms that are being proposed. What is at issue is the very concept of the all encompassing world state. To permit reform is to permit questioning and that can never be tolerated.
The only way to break the totalitarian stranglehold may be with a an authoritarian willing to bust down doors and crack some heads. Authoritarianism is only concerned with political power and as long as that is not contested it gives society a certain degree of liberty. You can still have judges falling out of helicopters as we saw with Pinochet, but the people can still go about their lives, free from the hectoring of secular fanatics living off the tax payers. Trump ordering the execution of the 9th Circuit is not ideal, but it beats the hell out of being ruled by angry lunatics from San Francisco.
The main argument against personal rule is that the person eventually dies. Then you have to hope the next guy is not crazy or dangerous. That’s also an upside to authoritarianism. Trump is not going to live forever. What follows is not likely to be another authoritarian. Pinochet eventually gave way to a form of self-government. The reason Chile did not suffer the same fate as Venezuela or Argentina is that Pinochet had most of the secular fanatics shot and tossed into a pit. As a result, Chile came out of the other end of the Pinochet years looking pretty good.
America is headed for a bad end unless things change quickly and radically. The suicide cult that has control of our society is not going to stop until we’re all dead. At some point, you have to use every means necessary to prevent a catastrophe. If that means Lindsay Graham winds up in pit covered in lime, so be it. If Bill Kristol has to write his tantrums from exile in Israel, I can live with that. In order to have a world run by Senator Ranse Stoddard, you first need a Tom Doniphon to do the dirty work of clearing out Liberty Valance.
Someone very wisely noted recently (it even might have been Zman) that people are realizing elections no longer change anything — anything substantial. That’s potentially risky territory, for the fully sufficient reason that people may decide to change things in less orderly ways. Personally I’m more worried they won’t. Mitch McConnell can vanish and never be missed ever again. However if having his personal residence mobbed by SJW goons can’t wake him from his Cloud Privilege slumber, he deserves what’s coming. The Prog street vanguard has shown they are willing to break the Cloud Rules to win, rules the genteel… Read more »
In Greece, the people decided the ruling party had to go so they elected what they were told was their ideological opposite. The result was more of the same. Nothing changed. When the people went looking for a new option, the two main parties joined to make one party, despite being ideological opposites supposedly. That’s how Greece ended up with Syriza. When the next crisis comes and the people decide Syriza has to go, my bet is they turn to a strongman. Germany is heading down the same path. Merkel is losing support. The next turn in the wheel will… Read more »
Do not throw in the towel! Do you want to live in such a world, waiting for the knock on the door and the arrests to follow?

Why’d he do it?
Because they were cheating their mandatory customers, giving 9 talents for 10- in the God’s own house!

Violence only to inanimate objects, not to human beings. Big difference.

As a Christian, I simply look at the writing on the wall. God gave us free will as well as His Word. He sent his Chosen People, the Jews into lands to conquer and subdue the land and it’s people’s for their own use. The fact that our country is split almost 50/50 means to me that it is essentially impossible to hope for reconciliation and that we will have to endure the kind of crap we are seeing for decades to come, unless something drastic changes the balance. I opt for preserving the country as it was founded and… Read more »
I am not so sure that one can truthfully say that elections don’t change anything. Trump’s election changes everything. We have opened a door and walked into a new place, and there is no going back now, no matter how Trump’s tenure turns out. Until last November ninth, I, too, believed that elections changed nothing. What I have come to realize is that elections where the choices are all representatives of the powers that be, almost all of the elections, do change nothing. Very occasionally, an outside candidate forces his way into the game and everything changes. These are the… Read more »
True enough; the real question is has anything *substantial* changed. Only time will tell. Trump can rewrite his EO or issue fifty more; the Cathedral’s bottomless supply of lawfare soldiers will crush every one in court. All we suggest is Trump pay as little attention to court rulings as Jackson did, or Obama — which is to say, obey most of the time. Trump needn’t defy all or even most judges, just a crucial few. This is less lawless than it appears, especially when it is Robart who is defying plenary executive prerogatives of the president.
Baby steps. Illegals are getting rounded up this weekend and sent to Mexico. A small percentage for sure, but it IS happening. A illegal was just thrown in prison for voting fraud for 8 years in Texas. It is starting as a trickle , but I’d wager, soon, self deportations will start en masse.. this obviously is just immigration and you are referring to big things, but the rule of law has to be reestablished and a very prominent way to do that is enforce immigration law. Trump has said it, we either have a country or we don’t. I… Read more »
Calfornia Senate Leader Kevin de Leon just acknowledged the other day how widespread the theft / fraudulent use of U.S. Social Security Numbers (SSN) was by the illegal immigrant community and how it’s no big deal, should not be a deportable offense. That even half of his own family would be eligible for deportation under Trump’s EO. Over the years, penalties for fraudulent use of SSN have been lessened as the law was somewhat de-fanged in order to accommodate illegal immigrants’ needs in taking U.S. jobs. The effect being a U.S. citizen who commits SSN fraud would be prosecuted and… Read more »
Have you ever noticed how poor neighborhoods seem to have a lot of income tax filing store fronts? Considering that these are exactly the kinds of people who pay no income taxes? Think ‘tax refund’ scam. For each tax refund an applicant gets, the tax store front must make a tidy sum.

Trump is making them, as Alynski put it, to defend their own standards. He is making them react, the cat bird seat so to say. They walked right into a trap of their own making. Trump has done a number of things like that, like with The Wall for instance. Their attempts of de-facto creation out of whole cloth laws as in overturning the “Unconstitutionality” and “UnAmerican” ban on immigration. ( Regardless it is Black Letter Law immigration is the sole purview of the chief executive and no one else. ) They own that ruling it is “UnAmerican”, including the… Read more »
Dutch you hit on something germane. I keep thinking lately since Trump was elected about the obscure theory of Water Empires. I read about it a long time ago as English class home work assignment when I was in Jr High School. It was actually in a science fiction story we where given to read. I can’t remember who wrote it. Anyways, in simplest terms if I remember correctly, a Water Empire lasts a long time because it has absolute control on a key component in it’s society, it seems like an immutable power, until one day an internal disruption… Read more »
The sci-fi story was Larry Niven’s “A World Out of Time”
Thats it! Persa for the State. The Water Empire theory strikes me as kissing cousins with the Chinese Mandate of Heaven. Which both are a bit prologue today.
The actual book that influenced Niven probably was Karl Wittfogel’s Oriental Despotism: a Comparative Study of Total Power. First published in 1963 (Yale). Wittfogel coined the term HYDRAULIC SOCIETY. Here is a free internet source of the book: https://archive.org/stream/KarlAugustWittfogel-OrientalDespotism/KarlAugustWittfogel-OrientalDespotism_djvu.txt

Let’s give Mitch his due. He’s been the consummate politician. He’s sniffed the wind and now he’s seen the way the wind is blowing. He’ll be on our side…..until someone makes him a better offer. Sometimes, a politician is more useful than an ideologue. A politician can be frightened into following your demands, but an ideologue may choose to resist to the death.
I’m sorry but “consumate poltician” is way too polite a description of that weasel face, ass sucking scumbag! A politician who is supposed to be American first, should do what is best for America, then his constituents, then his own political beliefs. No, he is a weasel survivor who continues to exist because like a roach, he scurry’s from one morsel to another always looking over his shoulder never minding who or what he has to crawl over to do so. A real politician knows how to reach win-win deals and move things along. He and people like Paul Ryan… Read more »
TINVOWOOT has many meanings. The most profound is voting was never intended for voting our way out of anything, it was intended for not getting in the predicament of having to vote our way out of what has happened to begin with.
When the judiciary has fabricated jurisdiction over a matter (there was neither standing nor jurisdiction in the 9th circuit case), my opinion as a former Federal litigator is that the President has every right to point that out and treat the Order as null and void. Andy Jackson and Lincoln did it in far less egregious cases….
I thought the same as you. The only thing I have thought of is; he is using this to his advantage. He could have told them to pound sand and he didn’t recognize their authority to even hear the case ( either Federal Court). BUT in allowing this to unfold… a lot of folks are stepping across the line and I figure, the administration is learning from this … taking notes, and building public consciousness to a clearly out of control progressive movement and wacky judges. Time will tell if it’s a missed opportunity or my hunch is correct.
I hope you’re right. Scott Adams calls him a “Master Persuader” and we’re always being told that it’s the nature of a businessman like Trump, when he’s making a deal, to start with a high demand, then negotiate down to something more reasonable. But what happens when a man offers a deal and the other side not only won’t make a counter-offer, they insult him and throw him out of the room? Sometimes what happens is that he takes a harder line, and the other side eventually is left wishing they’d taken his initial offer. I deeply hope that’s what’s… Read more »
We have time. Anger at the so-called judges in WA and the 9th Circuit is driving most of this. Working against the Government Party is that NOBODY expected them to rule differently. NOBODY expected the Media to report that a Boston district judge refused to interfere with Trump’s executive order. That’s the kind of antidemocratic lawlessness that the Persuadeable Public understands. The Persuadeable ones get angry when illegal Mexicans show up to try and intimidate law enforcement from deporting a woman who is a known criminal (forgery, stolen SSAN, etc). It’s the kind of stuff that makes shrinking and eliminating… Read more »
The average American has known that we have gone off the rails for many decades at least, but has been cowed out of speaking up about it for a long time. Now the typical citizen is seeing that he has been right in his outlook all along. Call them Persuadables. What they are is the real silent majority that is finally seeing their own point of view being represented and defended. The crazies will self-identify, and if they keep it up, they will need to emigrate to some other country if they want to venture out beyond their own front… Read more »
Good comment. I think a useful first step would be to expand the “press pool” to greatly marginalize the Government Media. I don’t know that even Trump could get away with kicking, say, CNN out of the White House (though he seems ready to try). But he can invite 100 others and ignore CNN/NBC/ABC/etc entirely. The silent majority felt isolated and ashamed mainly because they had been banished from the public square…ethnic cleansing in the media, in a way. Those days are nearly over. The social media rage spirals of the Government Party are largely the result of the silent… Read more »
Cogent observation, but what is this “shame” you speak of?
I don’t see much evidence of it in the behavior of the left. You could argue that the systematic elimination of shame is part of the progressive vision.
Yeah, Pyrrhic victory for the 9th circuit. There will be no tears shed when it is carved up. Also, Trump has been given an early example of why appointing good judges to these courts matter. He has a LOT of appointments to make. I also think because of the 9th, a LOT of folks would agree to new limits of term for Federal Judges. Trump knows how to learn from setbacks. None of this drama will have been wasted.
Agree. I see Trump following the process as far as he can, spelling out very clearly for the Persuadeables that he’s all out of options. Are helicopters coming? That’s up to the Left/Deep State, but I’d give Trump 12-18mos before he sees that as a valid option.
Maybe after Don and Vlad have their next friendly chat, we’ll hear that Mr. Soros has fallen ill.
Lets hope his son catches the same illness also.
How he has managed to remain alive so long after all he has done is a testament of how truly crooked and corrupt those running things are.
How much time do people think we have? I have heard Trump knows all regarding the Deep State, 9/11/01, etc. Most of us have already concluded that there is no point in dialoguing with the zombies anymore. So what do we see as the current necessary role of the ordinary citizen?
well, so far over 700 sexual traffickers and predators have been rounded up in the last week or so. and not a peep of it in the pizza press.
Pretty hard to believe, right? Stands to reason all the fake news, fake memes, crisis as a means and the desperate use of false flag operations like anti-fa hired “rioters” going on, is a two pronged strategy of tactics implemented to distract from the truth and to hopefully undermine President Trump’s legitimacy in order to retain the power which would cover up what these people truly are and the things they are doing and have done to us and our country. In following what can be separated wheat from chaff on Pizzagate, it’s looking like at least 1000 public officials… Read more »

It doesn’t seem so hard to believe. The scale and scope of the reign of influence, corruption and treason revealed by the hour of these people alone is mind blowing. Look at the Roman empire at the height of it hedonism and degradation. Mao, Stalin. Marxists bath in the blood and suffering of their enemies. Nothing sacred but there to be no limits on their power. Using children as sex slaves, ritualistic canibalism, torture and murdering children, recording it to prove how much power they have, what is more powerful than doing that to children.
What would you recommend by Andrew Klavan, please?
And thanks to you and Doug for the links.

I’ll back what your saying with everything I have Fred by saying that the absence of those things in our culture you mention has led to our becoming complacent and forgetful of our freedoms.

Holding pattern for the foreseeable future, so you might want to take this time to get ready. Everything is going to go along, not great but okay, as long as the checks keep coming, but when the checks quit coming all hell is going to break loose. The only problem is that we’ve got lunatics running the economic system now. It’s going to be one hell of a show.
The answer, or the question really, has always been the prospect for unencumbered individual, and unfettered economic, liberty. Those two absolutely essential qualifications of sovereign individual freedom are nowhere to be seen or heard spoken by anyone outside the realm of the dirt people. And I mean no one, speaks of those things in the arena of affairs of the people, nor their will as the governed of the republic.

That is not such a bad thing either. Because us dirt people become manifest in our righteousness and our legitimacy.

I posted this on Kakistocracy this morning. It’s relevant to this post too: __________________________ The solution to the issue of federal judges acting as philosopher-kings is to pare back the subject matter jurisdiction of the lower federal courts to hear questions arising under the constitution. Full stop. The US Supreme Court is established by Article III of the constitution, and it’s jurisdictional scope is set forth therein. Neither the executive nor the legislative branch can change this. By contrast, while the constitution authorizes the creation of lower (i.e., district and appellate) courts, there is no *requirement* in the constitution to… Read more »
defund the 9th circuit court and see what happens. bring personal law suits against the sitting judges — in friendly jurisdictions. doxx the shit out of the liberal judges. produces videos that will “guide” the crazies into thinking killing a judge makes one a “hero”
With respect, there really is no practical way to remove funding from the 9th Circuit. And federal judges have immunity from personal lawsuits for their acts on the bench. These are not viable solutions. Nor are doxxing or killing federal judges.
At the very least we need to eliminate the privileges of Senatorial Courtesy and the Blue Slip process. Judge Robart is on the bench because Democratic Senator Patty Murray recommended him and the Bush Administration acquiesced. This needs to stop.

who authorizes the funding of the ninth circuit? is it federal or state?
The 9th Circuit is a federal court circuit. It is funded by the federal government. The problem is not the 9th Circuit, per se. The problem is that the 9th Circuit is stacked with liberal, activist judges. This is not accidental. Rather, it is a direct result of Senatorial Courtesy and the Blue Slip process referenced above. Most of the district courts in the 9th Circuit are in the populated areas of the West Coast. Accordingly, the Senators of CA, OR, and WA get have a vastly disproportionate influence on the appointment of district court judges in the 9th Circuit.… Read more »
True to some extent. But they can be Impeached. It may just start to become a remedy, that Impeachment as a weapon of rule of law’s time has come. Franklin was brilliant when he proposed Impeach instead of physical assassination as a constitutional republic’s remedy to treasonous politicians and executives. He felt Impeachment was a form of personal Assassination very effective because of the potential message inherent in such action to remove usurpers and conspiracies of treason from government. Lord knows there is no shortage of usurpation and treason.
Thousands of judges, bureaucrats, officials, and politicians were jailed in the 1800’s for abusing their office.

Z Man; Your second-last paragraph about the perils of strong-man succession is totally consistent with the thrust of your just-previous post about the history of Rome. One of the few things that writers on the subject cannot really disagree with is that during the unified empire, Rome prospered when there was orderly succession to Emperor and faltered when there was not. Most agree that the wastage of provinces and legions caused by the civil wars of succession was one of the main causes of the fall to the barbarians who were increasingly recruited to participate in said civil wars.

Exactly. Push back hard, and do not waver. Play by the rules, but at the far end of the rules. These crazy people are beclowning and isolating themselves, and the pushback of the normals will get stronger and stronger. The genius of our system is the ability to fix things within the system.

The Jews who actually believe that the Torah, the prophets and the Psalms are the inspired word of God are descendants of the ancient Hebrews to whom the Lord God revealed Himself, and through whom our Messiah, Jesus, came to the earth.

You can’t legitimately start throwing people out of helicopters or dumping them into pits without first exhausting all the other options.

You’re way behind the power curve. The attacks you’re speaking about occurred many decades ago, some say in 1860-65.
You’ve got it Taco. Trump has balls the size of North America and tells everyone what he’s going to do. Law and Order will prevail and peace brought to America with an Iron Fist and Will backed up by the Dirt People. Here’s the deal though, we have to grind the progs into dust in order for peace to last many, many generations. I have no patience for anyone who doesn’t get this including family and friends. We’ve been given one chance to derail the train to oblivion and set a new course.
What seems apparent to me is that without the money and ideas backing their ideas, the people being used as “tools” for the progressive cause would be like the robots who simply go limp when their power source is taken off-line. Take off the head of the snake and the rest won’t know what to do or have the motivation to do it. We know who the snakes are.

Real, enforced economic sanctions along with targeted assassinations will quickly mute the desire of Soros (only one example) and his ilk to bring attention to themselves as funders of anarchy. I want the dirt people led by Trump to get back in the big boy sandbox.
What your saying is spelled out pretty well in this interesting article,
https://status451.com/2017/01/20/days-of-rage/
Wow! Thanks for that. I was there and I had forgotten most of it.
Here’s the deal. If this goes on, the military, the National Guard, and law enforcement agencies are going to be called out into the streets to “keep the peace”. They are training for it already, ever heard of Jade Helm? What you want is for the military to be called out on “them”, not on “us” or on “everyone”. Prepare to the utmost, hold your fire, and let these crazies keep taking it further and further. Then practice the art of “lets you and him fight”, “you” being law enforcement and “him” being the crazies. We are winning now, don’t… Read more »
Did you notice that odd minute during the Inauguration when a group of military men lined up silently behind Trump?
No need for bluster. They’ve got his back.
Been reading that military patriots are ready to purge national security and defense of the Deep State civilian criminals who have brought our doctrines, our good name, and our Nation to ruin.
I seen that also, there was no mistaking the various subtle but sublime little cues throughout. Have to say it was a heart warming relief to see it. Bet you it was a signal as discreet message change of the guard to certain elements of domestic and foreign enemies.
Lets hope those Oaths really count for something other than fealty to the most admired or powerful Alpha leader. Out of the fire and into the frying pan kind of thing. I believe Montesquieu was right. Large nation states are incapable protecting the dirt peoples freedoms and liberty by their very nature they tend towards totalitarianism, they are too far removed from the dirt people, there are too many unaccountable agents within them, and all that implies regarding what men with power want, more power. Dutch, here is a splendid work on the ideas and reasons about standing armies and… Read more »
Good oh, Zman. Things “could” get kinda weird and ugly I’m think. Read this morn that Messieurs Obama ( NYPost) is making noise behind scenes to lead a shadow, insurgency to thwart the new administration and to organize resistance whenever and wherever to seed trouble. With the judges you describe, it is not hard to imagine a real conflict that our country has not seen. A former administration in active sedition with active judges willing to help. The rub comes when Trump and his decide to fight for the country, the rule of law and the Constitution. The ramifications will… Read more »
here you have it and below is just an exerpt, read the whole thing http://taxicabdepressions.com/?p=1193 I asked him several “what if” questions and let him riff on them… I just let him talk and wargame out the Second Civil War, there in the back seat of my car as we drove to the airport, and he painted a picture of horrific death and destruction. Once this conflict started, even the best-case scenarios he described sounded truly grim. He seemed to believe that civilian casualties would be extremely high, given how much fighting would centered in and around large cities, and… Read more »
A million thanks- I was so hoping someone would bring that.
He had me at “95% of the problems we have in this country could be solved tomorrow, by noon… simply by dragging 100 people out in the street and shooting them in the fucking head.”
Note to those who haven’t gone to the link: The piece was written in 2014, when Obama was still President.
jughead is making the same mistake o. j. did
he is going to end up hanged
Absolutely, O went to work on day one.
His lux ‘vacations’ are cover for planning sessions. Not done by a long shot.
It’s the smirking arrogance of the Left`as they brazenly break the rules to win, that has brought me to longing for the helicopter solution too. No matter what set of rules the Right plays by, managing to win just brings forth another hilarious bout of “Heads we win, tails you lose” from the Left. Now that the Ninth Circuit judges have done their pirouettes to the applause of THEIR side, I want to know what Trump is going to DO? It’s not enough to say, “Don’t worry, the Supreme Court will set things right.” The Supreme Court has become the… Read more »
I like it. Kinda like Gen. Wm. T. Sherman and his scorched earth campaign. Things will not change until you make them feel the pain. Right now, they are the ones dishing it out. Let’s see how they like being on the receiving end.
Careful what you wish for, it was Lincoln’s Marxist who waged total scorched earth warfare against a sovereign population whom had every right and legal interpretation of the right to secede. Sherman’s march was pogrom on American soil. It was to make sure secession would die a bloody end and remind all who entertain such rights the consequences of defying the Banksters and one world order of the day. Remember Waco, it was Lincoln’s marxist decedents who used tanks and deliberately incinerated all those people because they where white men and Christian, remember who was running the regime in DC.… Read more »
Doug, I Letsplay is pointing out though, that the central point is, it will continue until and unless they feel the pain and forfeit the field. The left/Progs have done nothing BUT throw crap in our faces and taunted us. They have collectively flaunted the rule of law and perverted society… and they scream when anyone tries to bring them to bear. It’s time for real consequences for their sedition and treachery. There “should” be an account for inflaming their folks and inciting riots.
I understand, and am not above thinking what payback is due, same as the next guy who is fed up with their stupid shit stirring. But this is a war of hearts and minds. If we dirt people are going to win this, holding the moral high grounds is as important as holding the tactical. We got to do it right. It isn’t just the leftists who want us slaves or dead. It isn’t about winning the battles, I have no doubts we win those hands down when it comes to it, it’s about winning something better after the battles.… Read more »
One problem with supporting a strongman tyrant to clean up your mess is that his and your definition of a mess may be very different. Another problem is that tyrants tend to increase their tyranny over time.
Doniphon was no tyrant, he was a man with the will and the skill to employ violence in defence of the right.
We don’t need *A* Tom Doniphon, we need to EACH BECOME Tom Doniphon. We need a country full of Tom Doniphons. The good news is that we have one, I think.
Vigilante: noun, plural noun: vigilantes: a member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority, typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate.
To hell with this shit about “Squads of government men rounding these people up in the middle of the night”.
The first thing we will round up and liquidate are “Squads of government men”.
Either Z is having a really bad day or he is seeing how easily a civil war two could be upon us. The pendulum of the culture wars has swung in the other direction. Hillary was zenith and now with momentum it follows the arc back with force. There will be casualties and collateral damage. Hold tight with deep belief and faith, stand by the role of law ( you’ll be surprised how righteous it is – remember the consitituion was written by deeply moral and religious men) and remember a majority of working class women in the red states… Read more »
You do realize what the Constitution actually proves don’t you? It’s been the best system to constrain the nature of man and it failed utterly in the end. Law proved no to be no restraint on the desires of man. Where it wasn’t subverted it was outright ignored, and all so that the bureaucracy could serve the desires of the ruling class. The American experiment has proved that there is no ideal or law superior the nature of man. It’s proven that the most important ingredient to a stable and just society is a just man. There simply is no… Read more »
Yeah it’s man who decides if the constitution is a bullet proof vest or toilet paper. Still I sense their fear of it. We may have already gone too far down and a reset (war) inevitable if that happens the codex is even more important.
I do not consider the Constitution to be the failure? It is it’s people who have failed. Just as Ben Franklin told the woman when she asked what sort of government the delegates had created, he answered “a Republic, if you can keep it.” We, have failed. Our forefathers have failed. The Founders understood the weaknesses of man and put together the best things ever produced for governing men, but that too, without constant cleansing has morphed into something of a monster that resembles in no way that which was intended. We have forgotten God’s law, and natural law. And… Read more »
Not so fast friend, I’m going to pick a bone with you. I can only speak for myself here, I never failed in my duty as a dirt person, nor my faith in the great creator and the ideas that where fought for that created liberty. Those thing have nothing to do with that instrument of the humanists who crafted a document of administrative tyranny. And what of all the dirt people of the South who desired to peacefully secede from that tyranny, are they guilty of failure? How about LeVoy Finnicum, or Randy Weaver’s wife and son? I do… Read more »
Doug, if you find the Constitution to be a “rancid piece of parchment” then we do have a problem. I tried to find something on the “Compact of Confederation” and I guess you are referring to something from the Civil War era? Of course, the Constitution does not stand alone. It goes hand in hand with the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. As has been said very eloquently, “It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.” – Winston Churchill Read more at: https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/w/winstonchu164161.html What I… Read more »
LetsPlay, w/o knowing about the Articles of Confederation you must also be oblivious to the Anti-Federalist’s also. The Articles of Confederation pre-date the US Constitution by several years and governed the nation for that time,. The Federalist Papers, by Jay, Hamilton, and Madison, were essays pointing out the flaws in the Confederation, and the need for a stronger, centralized government. The Anti- Federalist papers refuted the claims of Madison, Jay and Hamilton. They were a collection of essays that basically foresaw the Federal Government becoming tyrannical, as it indeed has. The Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation, the first… Read more »
So man failed not the Constitution. It’s almost as if you’re saying that whether the principles embodied in the Constitutions require men to behave accordingly for them to succeed. Making men more powerful than the ideals themselves. I could have sworn I said that very thing.
DF, what I was responding to was your statement of ” … and it failed utterly in the end.” I acknowledge you say later “It’s proven that the most important ingredient to a stable and just society is a just man.”, however, I guess it would be a correction in logic to say that this last makes the former incorrect. It was not the Constitution that failed, that is all I am saying.
But it didn’t succeed either. It’s goal was to be bulletproof, or as bulletproof as they could make it, but it wasn’t enough. Corruption still won. I’m not trying to cheapen the document or the ideals. I personally think it’s as good as words on paper can do, and apparently I’m not alone. Ben Franklin said “if you can keep it”, and that seems to indicate that more was required.
I’m like you WH, the Constitution and its amendments mean nothing to me now. My rights do not stem from a piece of parchment nor laws man creates, as we are seeing first hand mean nothing to those whose sole responsibility was to uphold them. The Stoics understood ideas are like seeds, you plant them and they grow out of all size to their tiny beginnings. Z probably has always understood. I’ll send you a hundreds bucks if he didn’t. No matter, the closer we all come, as you say, in solidarity the stronger we are. No need for all… Read more »
I use to be one of those Conservative/libertarians that argued over the minutia of laws, traditions, and procedures, Then I realized there was no way in hell any of that was going to happen in the real world. Now I don’t care what color the cat is as long as it catches mice. The only thing that matters is real world results, the rest is just mental masturbation. It feels okay, and kills some time, but in the end is nothing more than a waste of paper towels.
Excellent post. Among your best. And you’re right; outside of violence the current trajectory of the US is highly unlikely to change. No government has ever voluntarily returned self determination back to the individual. It could happen, never is a long time, but I doubt that we have reached some new point in human history. The left wants a war. I, being Christian, must wait for them to attack first or some other morale imperative such as hunger. The world is such a place that when some seek war, they will find it. Soon enough, others will oblige. One upside… Read more »
” I, being Christian, must wait for them to attack first or some other morale imperative such as hunger”
let me reword this to make it clearer: “i am too comfortable and cowardly to do anything myself, so i will wait to see which side wins”
No, that’s not it. Thanks for your unqualified opinion of me. There is no such thing as righteous self-offense before a holy and just God. Only righteous self-defense. I’m not a churchian, I’m an actual Christian who carries a weapon 24/7 in defense of self and those less able. I was given a code, by Him, that I must live by or perish by, but I can’t change the code itself. Fear the ruthless vengeance of just man in concert with the holy redeemer.
you are very welcome. too bad He didn’t give you functioning testicles
Killing people who are not a threat is not a manly act. It is cowardly. Politically, at what point is a justified determination of self defense reached, is something mankind has struggled with since recorded history began. I’m not the first, nor will I be the last. Taking a life, personally and individually and intimately, is no easy act. Mostly, big mouths calling for killing are the biggest cowards, mostly.
Going too far, dude.
Stop kicking your own.
That’s the Left’s national sport- once the Revolution is over, the Grim and Determined get to the truly important work of denouncing each other.
Take your meds already!
Now, now, unfair.
Once the shootin’ starts, it’s all over, never to return. Helicopter rain should be a gentleman’s affair.
Besides, the lights are still on, and I hope they stay on. Got toilet paper?
“No government has ever voluntarily returned self determination back to the individual.” It’s never been tried other than the Confederacy’s secession from the Norths tyranny. But if we never try, it will never happen. And how many of us want to go into that long goodnight having never fought and tried? And really, maybe it isn’t the purview of the government, maybe it is the purview of the people to reconstitute a government suitable to their individual freedoms and happiness. For how else do we get this 10 ton whale of a leviathan off our backs? It isn’t going to… Read more »
Good points every one. I didn’t think about the war of northern aggression. That may qualify as an attempt at voluntarily returned liberty. I’ve been wrong before. I like your point about reconstituting a government suitable to ourselves. We really are different peoples. We are more like 4 or 5 peoples, I don’t know. To bad we all can’t simply say; this ain’t working so let’s split up into regions. Most on the right would go for it if were presented as the best of peaceable solutions. The left? I can’t imagine they would just walk away without wanting to… Read more »

Have you read William S. Lind’s Victoria? It is exactly about what you suggest about splitting up in regions. Victoria begins in NH and Maine, they secede, and the cascade of secession and the resulting nullification of federal centralized power. http://www.traditionalright.com/victoria/ It has a lot going for it, not least of all it was something that has already taken place and was working pretty well under The Articles of Confederation. They had some important things to work out, but it left no doubts the autonomy of the individual sovereign nations states was critical to assuring the peoples will was attended… Read more »
Here, here! the libs have just about pushed the rest of the country to the point where one way helicopter rides (and one way stadium visits) are acceptable. mobbing mcconnell’s house is going to help trump immensely. hopefully all the muslims will be returned to sender as well.
A hopeful note sung over at Belmont Club:
“I see the Democrat strongholds as slivers of prosperity surrounded by dysfunction. There is so much that could be pushed over with a tap that looks impregnable and secure.”
Maybe we could get some of our own ‘activist trainers’? That’s a mature industry over at the Left, and I feel like misbehavin’…
It really won’t take much. They all share one thing in common, wrenching their grasp from the levers of power isn’t easy at first, but once it begins, the thing in common is they will collapse faster than anyone thought. That is all they had, that power.
The mantra for so many years has been, “wait until the next election” and “you vote counts”. Well, here we are, still with the same mind set, as we watch the country “transform” into something we would not want to live in. It seems we have been conditioned to just wait, but in doing so, we miss opportunities to restore what was lost. So far the opportunity we will take will be when our lives and homes are threatened, but by then,it will be too late; there will be nothing left to preserve. So I agree with the article and… Read more »
I only had to read the first paragraph or two to give a thumbs up on this one.
I was just wishing this morning that Trump was a little more like Duterte.
No, you don’t want that. Read up on Rodrigo some. Trump is using resources Duterte wouldn’t have a clue what to do with, if he had them … which he doesn’t.
Nothing is going to happen until the progs draw first blood or Trump engineers some sort of reichstag fire event.
so all the Trump supporters beaten unconscious isn’t drawing blood? harassing Trump’s daughter in public isn’t akin to same?
It’s already gotten to that Taco! Look at the Trump rally riot in San Diego during the campaign. Look at the riots at Berkley. That’s where we’re headed. The DC inauguration riots? The tell will be to see if those ~230 get real jail time and make it well known. I hope the Feds get a few of them to give info and go after the higher ups…. regardless of where that leads.
I have no doubt the progs will continue provoking in many ways until Trump is forced to crack down in the name of keeping the peace and enforcing law and order. The progs intend this so they can point their fingers and cry “Dictator!” and have the media machine go wild with it, further turning Americans against each other in the process.
Wouldn’t taking away their money sources be a way to level the playing field some?
Freeze any funds sitting in U.S. banks and hack the rest. Deport any foreign born trouble makers. Then you could deal with the anarchists and community organizers.
I would love it if that happened. Let’s hope the FBI and Dept of Justice have dedicated some resources to investigating those very things. After team Hillary tried to destroy FBI Comey’s reputation on the way down, he has nowhere to go but up. He knows where the bodies are buried and what’s what. I’m curious what he’ll do under Trump. Will he do more than salvage his reputation? Will he go on to nail some of these traitors?
Send the shadow operations group Los Pepes after Soros like they went after Escobar and Che.
Doug, don’t you imagine there is more than a few “black ops” retirees still able to kidnap a few puffy looking old men and take them to someplace…..
Not so friendly?
An unprovable crime that says you’re next.
Stoddard was a weenie. If Doniphon was smarter, he’d have shot Valance AND Stoddard.
Au Contraire, to win all Doniphon wouldn’t have had to shoot Stoddard too. Since it was likely that the wounded Stoddard would miss, all he had to do was let Valence shoot Stoddard first and then fire second or so later and kill Valence. Shooting too late could even have been an accident of timing, certainly would have looked like one. No jury would have convicted him for bushwhacking an obvious menace to public order who was then in the act of murdering a wounded man, etc., etc. As a result, Doniphon would likely have had Hallie to wife and… Read more »
“No jury would have convicted…” But the theme of the whole show was that until Valance was killed and Stoddard’s gang of eunuchs took over, there WAS no law except that created at the point of a gun. To quote from the theme song. So, Tommy, my man, shoot Valance, then Stoddard, take the chick out to your ranch, and live happily ever after.
The End.
can’t agree here, jd. Stoddard had 2 giant brass ones and a spine of titanium. We need such men just as we needed a Lincoln or an Eisenhower. Rightly or no, i always saw the Stoddard-Doniphan pair as a Lincoln-Grant, Lee-Jackson or Ike-Patton pair. The one has strengths that the other doesn’t, but needs.
It took Doniphan to kill Valance, but it took Stoddard to be a hero for doing so and get away with it.
Lincoln? Give me a break. Lincoln was a traitor to the Constitution. You need to be deprogrammed, Sir.
The Constitution? Give me a break. The Constitution is a few empty words inked on ancient, disintegrating parchment. You need to be deprogrammed, sir.
(Keep pining over it though, I’m sure it will help you crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women.)
180 poast. This is the Law of Unintended COnsequences, or in the case of the Leftist mindset denying reality. One thing will, all else being equal, always lead to another.
Pinochet didn’t spring full grown from the forehead of a peaceful civilized first-world nation; sickness begets death or a cure. There is no third option. Never has been.
I’ll just settle for the Third American Revolution and when we come through to the other side this situation won’t happen again that soon.
Pinochet killed 3000 fanatics who themselves had killed 300,000 more, per a Chilean commentor. He then stayed long enough to purge the judiciary of it’s holdouts as well. Iran’s feather-boa dictator, Mossadegh, confiscated the assets of any opposition and was declaring the Pasdaran (Iranian Congress) null and void as he assumed supreme executive powers. The Shah replaced him. Over 20 years, his ‘brutal’ SAVAK killed 500 radicals, who themselves had murdered more than 20,000. If we do not clean house, soon, let us consider whom it is that the Left lionizes. Arafat, anyone? Che and Castro? Examples abound. Maybe we… Read more »
The natural abiding nationalism and traditionalism of the dirt people acknowledges hard truths about humanity, because they are human, it looks to the time horned patriarchal legacies of the past to see toward the future because they are what patriarchy is.

“but that’s not on offer”
Certainly not, if you dismiss it out of hand. But wishing for a dictator is supposed to be more reasonable?
The grass is not greener on the other side of the hill. The grass on the other side of the hill will be torched. Oh, and that dictator? He does not care what you think.
Certainly, the current system is going to flop soon. But there are a lot better alternatives than dictatorship. Secession and panarchy, for two.
I appreciate your sentiment about secession — but, speaking as someone who’s read over 100 books about the so-called Civil War, I think our history has ruled that out as an option. Especially since: 1) the federal government is many, many times more powerful now than it was before 1861; 2) the two sides in our current conflict are not geographically separated, but thoroughly intermingled, since there are leftists in every single town in America, even in the reddest county of the reddest state; and finally, 3) our moral and cultural capital is much diminished since the 1861-1865 conflict, so… Read more »

Secession is never off the table, the damn marxists are still waging war against it every day all around us. They fear people who believe in secession like nothing else. It is part of why they revise history of us, why they despise the south and all symbols of it. Secession is a matter of the heart and mind, just as resistance is never futile.

I like John Wayne movies, but, in that one, I’d argue that Doniphon was a narcissistic coward, afraid to face the law and take the consequences of his action – in fact, murder (he was not directly attacked, and it was an allegedly fair fight, by the standards of that time). He cared only about himself, not the town, or even the girl he supposedly loved. It was, in fact, Jimmy’s character that showed bravery, standing up time and again, in a lost battle. He went into that fight KNOWING he was going to die. He went anyway, which makes… Read more »
jimmy’s character was a cuck. you might want to read up on narcissism. also, you completely mis-interpreted Tom’s motives for “hiding” his involvement. he did that *so* jimmy’s character would get the credit, because he knew his time was over. other than that, i agree with you.
oh, would love to hear from you how Shane was a coward too.
You have bought the concept that Trump is all that different from any other of the candidates for POTUS. He is only different in that he has personality and is obviously more intelligent and quicker with his wit than the other losers like Graham, Romney, Sanders, Clinton, etc.
And Trump is backing off his most popular policies dealing with nation building, empire building and overly expensive international adventurism.
