Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

5) Redefine violent crime as understandable, cry-of-the-heart expressions of social justice. Ensure no bail and same-day release for arrested, repeat violent felons. Empathize with the violent killer and rapist; ignore their victims, especially if slain police-officers.

6). Emasculate the military by using non-meritocratic standards of race, gender, and sexual orientation to determine promotion and commendation. Deliberately smear as racists and insurrectionists the largest demographic in the military who in recent wars died at twice their numbers in the population—so that they leave or never join the military. Encourage retired high officers to slander their Commander-in-Chief. Cut the defense budget. Stop producing sufficient weapons, but leave billions of dollars’ worth of arms to terrorists.

7) Reinvent the justice system to indict, bankrupt, convict, jail and eliminate political opponents. Use ballot removal, impeachment, civil suits, and state and federal indictments rather than elections to defeat an opponent. Mob the homes of non-compliant Supreme Court Justices, attack them personally by name.

The problem is that the American left hates America. This is different from other countries. For instance, I doubt the French left hates France. The Chinese communist party doesn’t hate China. Etc. But our left hates America, because America is the left’s grand historical nemesis. This basic hatred changes everything. It means our left is just as happy to abuse the country and see it torn down as they are to try to build it up into a model socialist state.

Go to Copenhagen, Denmark, which has had an unbroken string of Socialist mayors since the 1920’s, and you will see a beautiful clean city that’s the pride of the nation. Meanwhile our left has weaponized America’s cities against its own people. Why? Because our left hates the people of this country and considers it a just comeuppance to inflict crime, filth, and disorder on them for the crime of being Americans.

Excellent post and right on.

And the American Left, especially the Elite, live very well off the country they detest. They are pure, unadulterated evil hypocrites.

”The biggest problem is nobody seems to be doing anything about this myself included. The problem for me personally is I work too much and don’t have time to protest in the streets like rich Columbia university students. I assume this is the case for most people on the right.”

I respectfully beg to differ. In the early years of Free Republic the members of this forum, who also worked hard and had families to support (including me), took time to protest in the streets. Heck, we even had airplane-toting banners flying over major sporting events. We had conventions across the nation. We had a regular presence in the streets of DC.

But, as we old-timers have started to fade away (or in Gonzo's case, blazing across the Cosmos to meet Saint Peter in person) it falls to the next generation to take up the mantle. If the new generation doesn't have the gumption, then maybe we need our hundred years of socialist Hell such as Argentina is only now emerging from(?)

”Where are the mass protests of that? Where are the crowds outside Alvin Braggs house? Letitia James house? Merrick Garland the punk who tagged parents of students terrorists but not the punks supporting Hamas shutting down universities and attacking Jews. If it’s OK for the left to protest outside the house of SCOTUS then we should do the same to these phony prosecutors.”

The old-time Freepers would have been out in the streets. I know, because I was out there with ‘em!

Now, if I was organizing an old-time Freeper convention like in the old days, I'd be looking at the Godfrey Hotel and Cabanas in Tampa. Perfect location and reasonable cost! Heck, if I still lived in Tampa I'd be sorely tempted - especially with Summertime weather staring us in the face! (Gonzo would have shown up for the alcohol alone!)

Newer Freepers have no idea what they are missing.

America will either finish folding its tent or look to rebuild in November.

I call this the Thunderdome election. 2 go in, 1 comes out.

Well, you must acknowledge the “opposition party” is doing all they possibly can to defend our Republic from this political carnage: they hold lots and lots of hearlings to express their outrage (and, most importantly, to appear “tough” for their re-election ... their Number 1 priority above all else).

Our leaders are sold out to the great reset. God could save America but the people would have to humble themselves and turn back to Him. At this late stage of national decay a miracle of God is the only way out.

These Demonicrats are nothing but traitors to the United States. And as long as Traitorcrats are elected or appointed as judges and DAs, the Demonicrats will get away with it.
