Red States: Our Last Bastion of Defense
American Thinker.com ^ | April 11, 2021 | Richard Moss

These are treacherous times. Our principal institutions have been overtaken by the left. However dysfunctional and disturbed they may be, leftists rule us, and they grow more authoritarian and imperious as we speak.

The latest example of their audacity and command of our dominant institutions is the response to Georgia's modest election law (S.B. 202 or the Election Integrity Act). It included ID requirements for mail-in ballots, banned the practice of giving food or water to voters in line at polling stations, limited the number of "drop boxes," and shortened early voting, none of which was racial or restrictive in the least. But the carefully orchestrated mass rollout of hair-on-fire outrage was classic leftist agitprop, perfected through the decades. So absurd were the accusations that, absent an utterly compliant press, a political movement could never get away with it.

Shortly after Governor Brian Kemp signed the bill into law, President Joe Biden on ESPN referred to it as "Jim Crow on steroids" and supported Major League Baseball moving the All-Star Game out of Atlanta, where it was scheduled this year. MLB rolled over instantly. This year's summer classic also planned to honor the memory of Hank Aaron, one of baseball's greatest players, who passed away recently and played with the Atlanta Braves. That Hank Aaron was a black man and that Atlanta is a heavily black-majority city that would be negatively impacted by the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars seemed not an afterthought. Biden later called the bill "sick," "un-American," and an "atrocity." Former president Barack Obama agreed with the sentiments, as did the entire Democrat party apparatus and its poodle media.

The only way Red States can be our last bastion of defense is if the legislatures are controlled by conservative patriots.

We have RINOs to thank for not enforcing voter ID and not investigating the rampant cheat-by-mail-in ballot fraud in GA, PA, AZ, MI, and WI.

If DC becomes a state, if the Supreme Court gets packed, don't blame Democrats. If RINO-controlled state legislatures had done their constitutional duty, none of this would be happening because Trump would still be president.

Even if we never have a fair election again, vote out every RINO who must face a primary in 2022 and replace them with conservative patriots. It's the ONLY hope we have of restoring the rule of law. It may well be too late, but it is literally our last chance.

Shortly after Gov Brian Kemp signed a perfectly reasonable bill to strengthen GA's voting laws, alleged president Biden,
(in the twilight of his years of being almost human), referred to it as "Jim Crow on steroids" and praised MLB moving
the All-Star Game to another state w/ similar voting laws.

Marching in lockstep, loyal jack-booted soldiers, ex-pres Obama, the entire Democrat party apparat, and its obeisant media, blessed the move.

Guns and blood are the last line of defense

Americans have guns in order to defensively slay tyrants

This article says that early voting was shortened, but I thought the bill actually expanded the early voting period.

Georgia’s adoption of requiring a valid ID number on absentee ballots should be the gold standard nationwide. It removes the subjective signature matching that is nothing more than a joke and is subject to disenfranchisement in two ways. Poll workers have neither the time nor the expertise to scrutinized signatures and tend to just pass all of them as valid. Two, it invites “helpers” to vote FOR people.

We Georgia folks watched as that fat greasy cow and her criminal Fulton County crew stole our elections, and they didn’t even try to hide it. And we watched as our RINO governor, SofS and Lt gov fold like old cardboard to Abrams and her “consent decree” and now face a politically dead future thanks to our strengthened voter laws.
There are a LOT of truly good people down here- of EVERY color- who hate what we watched happen. But we are also a group who has awakened to what needs to be done. And it doesn’t end with the new voter laws. We KNOW those involved need to be investigated, charged, and jailed. We WILL see it done.

“The only way Red States can be our last bastion of defense is if the legislatures are controlled by conservative patriots.”

The only way that happens is if Americans breed successive generations of conservative patriots; the decades of negative birthrates of American citizens has brought us to this point. Otherwise, every “red state” is a Colorado in progress.

The lines of defense:

Ballot box

state legislatures

red states

courts

military

Guns and blood

Ballot box, state legislatures, red states, courts have all failed.

We're at the military line now. On the surface, hey've been mostly quiet, but quite active. Two days ago was an extremely active day over CONUS according to "ADS-B Exchange". Lots of unusual activity - U2 flights, no AF1 since 1/20, searching off the FL coast. Navy in the vicinity of Taiwan and the Suez. Two carrier task forces off the east coast, three on the west.

I believe patriot guns and blood line will not be in order. This time. Never mind the 2A, may we never give up God-given right to guns.

MLB hates black people and Henry Aaron in particular. That’s why they moved the All Star game to lily-white neo-Nazi Denver.

Food and drink in the lines were used as bribes to get people to vote in

Connecticut in the last governor’s election. Overnight, the Republican’s lead flip

flopped and the stinking tax and toll man ‘won’.

I agree the author is late to the game. The Leftist takeover, always a threat to the country, gained steam during the Vietnam War era. The Left successfully undermined the ability of our military to wage and win that war. Instead, Johnson and later Nixon sat in the WH with a map so each could select targets. Too me, it seemed Johnson and Nixon did this as a way of placating those who were calling our troops baby killers and demanding we abandon our allies. At the same time, the Left was infiltrating our “better” colleges and universities, and gaining control of local governments down to the school board level. The most recent iteration of the Left’s takeover is splitting our country into warring tribes and identity groups, and then yelling racism when anyone protests. So, yes, our country is in great jeopardy and perhaps it is up to the Red States (without the RINOs) to come to the rescue. I hope they arrive before it is too late.

Yep, I doubt GA will ever go red again. Texas is on the way to being forever blue in a hurry. VA/CO are the future of nearly all red states. Think it’s bad, just wait a few years.

I live in corrupt blue PA. I saw and experienced a number of things that shouldn't happen surrounding the election. I reported some of them to the president's lawyers immediately after the election. This week I saw the following in Senator Mastriano's newsletter:

"The bipartisan Senate Special Committee on Election Integrity and Reform is inviting Pennsylvania voters to share their experiences from the 2020 election by taking an election survey. The information will be reviewed by the committee and will be considered as part of future election reform measures."

I spent several hours recording my experiences, complete with times, dates, #'s of ballots, etc. Then I hesitated. I realized that I'm afraid to send it. I'm afraid of what could happen to me and my family if I send this with my name attached. Horrible as it is, I don't think I can send feedback to the committee without first consulting an attorney regarding my personal safety. Two of the people who spoke out at the Gettysburg hearing reported a subsequent visit from the Attorney General's people. It wasn't a friendly visit for tea. This is the state of things.

Should any Freepers know of a suitable SE PA attorney to ask about such a matter, please feel free to provide a referral.

If Trump won 1/3 of Hispanic votes, then that alone isn’t the issue. Here in NJ there is mass trafficking of Asians as well, and many of them are Dems. In the end, it is white females and soyboys who deliver the Dem victories; these non-whites are still not much of the voters (here in the northeast).

Too bad we have corrupt, incompetent, RINO Governors running Ohio and Indiana

The states are RED - The Governors are cowards
