I rarely invoke the Federalist/Anti-Federalist ping list, but this short article caught my attention.

talking about abandoning the “rule of law.”

That train left the station long ago, in regards to leftist liberal Democrats. "Rule of anarchy" is routinely employed by the left. The only ones following the "rule of law" are those on the right, and we are the ones who are saying enough is enough. We've taken so much abuse from the left. Time is here to fight back and fight hard, and to h*ll with the leftists when they get hurt.

NO, America is emphatically not coming apart. What is coming apart is the feudal Oligarchy’s fascist globalist agenda. We are watching the end days for the aristocracy, brought to you by Silicon Valley and the Internet. Their game plan, assets and history are now a mouse click away and they have run out of time. This why all the panic with their unloosing of the bootlick press, sheer desperation.

The left doesn’t know it yet, but they are the oligarchy’s stooges in their crypto-Nazi final gambit for world government. The “progressives” are starting to put the pieces together...at a glacial pace, needless to say, but a lot of my lefty playpals are loosing patience with the left’s unholy alliance with Islam and it’s utterly inhuman demonic treatment of women.

We need to be welcoming to their apostates and help that tide to rise.

Obama the Commie gets Elected.

He promises to Fundamentally Transform America.

He sides with Criminals like Trayvon and any other Thug that comes along and he Pardons hundreds of Drug Dealers who he says were non violent Offenders, even though many used Guns in committing their Crimes.

He Pardons “Chelsea” Manning who committed Treason because why, he’s a misunderstood “Transsexual”?

He lights up OUR White House like a Rainbow Flag when the SCOTUS shreds the Constitution and makes Gay Marriage a Right, rubbing the noses of Christians (and Muslims when you think about it) into the ground.

He says “the Police acted Stupidly” without knowing any facts.

He tells his supporters to get in People’s (who oppose his Policies) faces.

He tells his supporters, if they bring a Knife you bring a Gun.

His Black AG publicly states that he will not enforce Hate Crime Laws against “his people”.

He says he has “a Phone and a Pen” and nobody blinks an eye.

He is caught on a hot Mic telling the evil Russians that he will be “more flexible after the Election” regarding reducing the size of OUR Nuclear Deterrent.

Despite all this and more, those who opposed Obama’s Policies didn’t Riot in the Streets attacking their Political Opponents and the Police and there was no talk of the Country irreversibly splitting apart at the seams.

We are living inside a Twilight Zone Episode or a Liberal Wet Dream depending on your outlook.

With the proviso that the author of this piece is actually quoting another author, I can only say that he is impossibly naive if he thinks that a workable solution to a disagreeable national election result is a greater emphasis on state government. Certain of us would welcome a return of power to the states, but that isn't even remotely a progressive position.

That is not what the progressives want, have ever wanted, or intend to tolerate. Their alternative to a Trump government is not a shift of power toward decentralization, it is a Hillary government by force or whatever means necessary, authoritarian, dictatorial, totalitarian. This is evidenced in their clearly stated preference not for toleration of alternative points of view, but for outlawing their very expression. Of all of the thoroughly silly things to accuse progressives of desiring, states' rights is probably the silliest.

Progressives’ sense of inevitability has been deeply shaken by Trump and the rise of nationalist movements in Europe. Has it been shaken enough to consider real alternatives to social democracy?

Certainly it has: violence in the streets and a revolutionary chic that is so far bloodless in their direction and brutal in the direction of their opponents. This is no civil disagreement, their very signs proclaim proudly "This Is War" and we'd better start taking them at their word. They have captured just enough control of state power, academic approval, media programming and a heavy presence within the legal system to get away with this asymmetrical warfare, at least until now.

Ideally a flurry of reciprocal violence will inform their activists that it isn't going to be quite that easy and allow everyone to back off from the abyss, but I see no signs at all that reason is likely to lead them that direction. Perhaps the author can explain his optimism in that regard, but frankly it seems a little unrealistic at the moment.

Antifa and the Alt-Right are literally fighting in the streets.

Is there some distinction between "literally fighting in the streets" and just plain-old "fighting in the streets"?

Activist judges have destroyed the rule of law, for which we will all pay dearly.

The ceremony of innocence is drowned.
My best friend, my best man (and I, his) and only brother, we haven’t spoken since January after his nasty e-mail attack on President Trump.

NO, swamp creatures (conmen, collectivists, criminals, Clintons, dirtbags, d’rats, jerks, journolists, liars, losers, looters, morons, marxists, punks, progressives, scumbags, socialists, tyrants, totalitarians, etc., etc.) are being exposed.

The left is coming apart and they’re on the wrong side to begin with.

This author’s description is out of touch with Murray, but both are right.

Murray: elites vs non-elites
Everyone else: right vs left

Murray tried to stay away from solutions, other than the anti-bureaucracy living wage. But he would like this author’s solution, which would help avoid the potential violent division: FEDERALISM

It’s inevitable, but progressives hate it and will fight it. And some conservatives hate it. Some think their policies should be thrust on every single state no matter what.

"Should we still abide by democratic processes when a significant portion of the country is enraged by the outcome?"

Which is precisely why the Founding Fathers established a REPUBLIC and not a DEMOCRACY, and instituted specific "supermajority" requirements for making certain changes.

The use of supermajority vote requirements assures a much wider societal acceptance of voted changes and smaller disgruntled groups.

From the last sentence in the article...

Surely divorce, in whole or in part, is better than an abusive marriage.

The author seems to conclude that our system is in some way defective and needs to shift to a more centralized 'can't we all just get along ' society. Sorry but it ain't gonna happen! Consider our nations propensity toward violent solutions to political issues, the apparent willingness to overlook past transgressions so that we can all start anew, and the legacy of the right to keep and bear arms, we the people will continue to be the dysfunctional, well armed, violent and (agreed) abusive members of these United States.

What is coming apart - what must come apart - is wire service journalism as a priesthood of cynicism.
Commercial journalism has certain business imperatives, all aimed at attracting and keeping an audience. Among those imperatives are:
    Always meet your deadline,

  • prefer “Man Bites Dog” story to “Dog Bites Man.”

  • position your audience as being knowledgable and civic minded. Thus, claim that you are objective.
The first of the imperatives produces superficiality; if no actually important reports are on hand the reporter will hype the significance of the report he does publish.

The second of the imperatives produces negativity, particularly negativity toward the people whom society most depends on.

The third of the imperatives amplifies the effect of the others. If you are superficial, claiming objectivity makes you very superficial. If you are negative, claiming objectivity makes you cynical.

Journalism is cynical about society and those upon whom its workings most depend. Cynicism about society does not imply cynicism about government. To the contrary, cynicism about society implies the need for government - and plenty of it. IOW, cynicism about society is a necessary and sufficient condition for socialism.

Wire service journalism needs to be sued into oblivion, on the basis that, de facto, wire services combine its members into a single entity in violation of Sherman Anti-Trust Act (1890)
