As a conservative, it’s easy to see how our society has drifted away from its social and moral moorings.
The liberals respond to lure of the injustice du jour that must have a response. They fix their eye on the end results: how they want society to look and function. Then they invoke practicality: how to get there? In their morality, unanchored by accountability to anything other than the vision, the means used to achieve the ends are always justified.
Those means can be cruel, unjust, one-sided. By their nature, the means seek to disenfranchise those who stand in opposition to the vision they pursue. Identify, separate, divide, silence, conquer. These are the tools of those whose ends justify the means.
We are seeing these tools at work in our society. The damage is apparent.

Very nice to see a “call to revolution” NOT include arms but be based on morals and common sense. Revolution via arms is treason pure and simple.
Nice article.
The whole assault on civilization, which has characterized the Left since the French Revolution, is premised upon a hatred of what is actual; a war on reality; a modern exhibition of the corruption of Mankind, as old as Genesis.
Have been fighting this since my teens--and every new manifestation reveals the same fallacies; exploits the same compulsive rejection of experience & logic.

Liberals/Progressive/Democrats have created a narrative that implies Conservatives/Republicans are waging a “WAR on Them”.
There is the;
“War on Women”
“War on the poor”
“War on minorities”
“War on the environment”
“War on gays”
“War on the middle class”
“War on Workers”
“War on the Elderly”
“War on ..............”
This has effectively placed virtually all their constituents into a group. Liberals and some in the middle will tend to vote on a single (personal) issue, therefore, they may dislike all a candidates positions “expect” the one that appeals to them, and will vote for that candidate. Conservatives, on the other hand, tend to look at the “big picture”, we will “reject” a candidate on a single issue even though we support all other aspects of their positions.
It would be wise for Conservative candidates in both the mid-terms and in 2016 to expose this fraud.
The “WAR” is on the Individual and it is being waged by Democrats, Democrats that want to put “You” in a box, in a group.
So true! There is only one “WAR” and that is the liberals war on freedom. Each of their little wars lends itself to reinforcing the bigger war. “We’re in charge, now shut up and do what we tell you to do!” Oh and you’ll have to fund it to boot.
Treason? Yes.
But...
Treasonous against what? The nation? Or its values? or possibly its citizens? maybe just the citizens that have brought upon its current manifestation?
So, While I agree that it IS treason. I think that treason in and of itself is not a bad word or something to be avoided at all costs. Is it justified to commit treason against Tyrants? I think a case can be made that it is not only justified but required.
That being said... I think the only way to go in the situation we find ourselves is peaceful secession of the states. Do I think it will remain peaceful? not really... but it DOES matter who initiates the violence..
“Several options present themselves, but I believe the answer is nothing short of a social revolution. Not a violent one, certainly not an overthrow of our institutions of power (government).”

Dennis Prager wrote this recently.
“As I have often noted, the most dynamic and influential religion of the past hundred years has not been Christianity, let alone Judaism, the two religions that created the Western world. Nor has it been Islam. It has been Leftism.”

“Revolution via arms is treason pure and simple”
It reads like indictment of our forefathers. I appreciate your opinion but respectfully disagree.
You are correct.
That said, sometimes there is no alternative. We’re not there yet and the Founders advised us to be long-suffering. And we have been.
But these words from another man continue to run through my alleged brain:
“Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate
agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.
They want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the
ocean without the awful roar of its waters.
This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical
one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a
struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never
did, and it never will. Find out just what a people will submit
to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and
wrong which will be imposed upon them;and these will continue
until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both.
The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those
whom they oppress.”
Frederick Douglass August 4, 1857

Unless you win...
In truth, all revolution starts without arms and warfare. However, when the voices of revolution are forcefully silenced, or just demands are met with governmental indifference or worse, then a call to arms may be all that is left.
Happened that way almost 240 years ago.
Rambo: Are you bringing any weapons?
Burnett: Of course not.
Rambo: Then you aren’t changing anything....
The game isn’t designed to be “fixable” the way it was supposed to be. Not any more.
Yes, there is a war.
It is a war on the very foundation of belief.
Where is or does a persons belief/worldview come from?
At its core, it is Creation vs. Evolution.
Creation = Certainty
Evolution = Uncertainty/relativism
Is morality “objective” or “Subjective”?.
The liberal/evolutionist “must” conclude that morality is “Subjective”, and therefore relative and our freedoms are granted by Man.
The Declaration of Independence declares, “All men are created equal. They are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights ....”
This drives liberals mad.
I love FreeRepublic !!!

What the radical left is doing is the REAL treason, pure and simple.
That is true.
What seems to have caused you to excerpt your own blog?
Some don't like your questioning. I do.
I’m glad.
Those that don’t rarely understand the issue.
The premise of this post is that we on the right must remain principled, honorable losers while the left cleans our clock.
Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.
