America: An Us vs. Them Country
Townhall.com ^ | July 23, 2019 | Pat Buchanan

Posted on 07/23/2019 5:49:45 AM PDT by Kaslin

"Send her back! Send her back!"

The 13 seconds of that chant at the rally in North Carolina, in response to Donald Trump's recital of the outrages of Somali-born Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, will not soon be forgotten, or forgiven.

This phrase will have a long shelf life. T-shirts emblazoned with "Send Her Back!" and Old Glory are already on sale on eBay.

Look for the chant at future Trump rallies, as his followers now realize that the chant drives the elites straight up the wall.

That 13-second chant and Trump's earlier tweet to the four radical congresswomen of "the Squad" to "go back" to where they came from is being taken as the smoking gun that convicts Trump as an irredeemable racist whose "base" is poisoned by the same hate.

Writes The New York Times' Charles Blow in a column that uses "racist" or "racism" more than 30 times: Americans who do not concede that Trump is a racist -- are themselves racists: "Make no mistake. Denying racism or refusing to call it out is also racist."

But what is racism?

Is it not a manifest dislike or hatred of people of color because of their color? Trump was not denouncing the ethnicity or race of Ilhan Omar in his rally speech. He was reciting and denouncing what Omar said, just as Nancy Pelosi was denouncing what Omar and the Squad were saying and doing when she mocked their posturing and green agenda.

Trump's 40-45 percent of the nation is not only being constantly castigated and demonized by the establishment media but it is also being told that, in the not far distant future, it will be demographically swamped by the rising numbers of new migrants pouring into the country.

Your time is about up, it hears.

And most of the Democratic candidates have admitted that, if elected, the border wall will never be built, breaking into the country will cease to be a crime, ICE will be abolished, sanctuary cities will be expanded, illegal immigrants will be eligible for free health care and, for millions of people hiding here illegally, amnesty and a path to citizenship will be granted.

America, they are saying, will be so unalterably changed in a few years, your kind will never realize political power again, and your America will vanish in a different America where the Squad and like-minded leftists set the agenda.

Will the deplorables, who number in the scores of millions, accept a future where they and their children and children's children are to submit to permanent rule by people who visibly detest them and see them as racists, sexists and fascists?

Will Middle America go gentle into that good night?

We are going to find out, and soon. There are several hundred million reasons and a few billion rounds of ammunition to show why we won’t submit.

everywhere we see the word RACISM.

Leon Trotsky made it up.

His real name was Lev Bronstein.

Before he made the word up, the concept did not exist.

It’s a tool for dividing people.

It hasn’t been that in quite some time, Pat. Racism is now anything that disagrees with the Left.

And it won’t end well.

See my tag line.

Yep. All “racism” means nowadays is disagreeing with a Leftist.

Trump has arrived in the nick of time.

No guarantees that we will have a happy ending, but this historical period reads like a novel where the Dark Lord is just moments away from claiming the magic ring that will ensure his endless reign of terror. Can our hero destroy the magic ring and save humanity?

But what is racism?

It is an evaluation and value judgement of a group as a whole based on determinism and collectivism. Determinism and collectivism is a major characteristic of the disintegrated irrational mode of thought of the commie-jihadi-leftard alliance. They are the ones obsessed with racism.

True, and I worry about who will follow Trump.

Indeed. It is mainly a weapon that the left has used for years/decades to advance their agenda and done so quite successfully, at least until more recently.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also supported by Bush League Republicans like Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio.

Amnesty will result in a permanent Democrat majority and they KNOW it.

We re-elect Bush League Republicans at our peril.

“Will Middle America go gentle into that good night?”

White men perfected the science of killing on an industrial scale, and when backed into a corner they are every bit as ruthless and murderous as depicted in popular culture.

It’s what put us atop the world. And it’s what will keep us there.

Take that to the bank.

“Will Middle America go gentle into that good night?”

Europe did.

We can talk, but that’s all we ever really do. We won’t even show up in the streets to end Anti-Fa. The Proud Boys did! What happened? They were labeled Nazi’s and everyone our side said “hurumph....hurumph.....I uh, can’t be associated with any of that now”. Where are they now? Banned, deplatformed, silenced, jailed, sued, prosecuted, and having their bank accounts frozen. Has ANYONE on our side stood up for them? Nope.

Tommy Robinson stood up for British girls being raped by foreigners, where is he? Locked up by his own Government in a prison filled with people that want to kill him. What has anyone on “OUR” side done to help him? Nothing! Has anyone on “our” side done anything to shame the British for this? Nothing.

When every single white person in South Africa is set upon for slaughter will anyone on “our” side do anything? Not a freakin chance!

Will Middle America go gentle into that good night?

Or will we rage against the dying of our light?

I’ll believe it when I see it. We talk a tough game but when it comes to action - nothing.

Look at how we have been totally routed in the culture war without even a peep, Antifa runs roughshod over us and we just take it.

We foolishly comfort ourself with the thought that we have guns... but lack the will to use them.

Will is much more important than guns.

We won’t even replace the Bush League Republicans who are telling us they intend to give the country to illegal aliens.

Absolutely true! The left is eviscerating us and we do nothing.

So the answer to Pat’s question “Will Middle America go gentle into that good night?” is “Yes”.

It always amazes me how much suffering people will put up with before they rise up and throw the bastards out. Sometimes they never do.

Agreed. The reason America prevailed in WWII was due to our becoming the apex savages. We combined technology and industrial capacity and gave it to American fighting men (who were overwhelmingly White). These men then used it ruthlessly to utterly crush our enemies without mercy. This behavior was most evident in the Pacific War against Japan.
