Hemingway: Saving America Requires Conservatives To Be Bold In The Face Of Unhinged Leftism
The Federalist ^ | JULY 28, 2022 | THE FEDERALIST STAFF

Posted on 07/29/2022 6:20:21 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

“Unfortunately, anyone who dares take on the broken and corrupt political and media complex is teed up for absolute destruction. As lesser men cower in the face of the risk, the cost of standing up to the system becomes steeper and steeper,” said Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway during a speech at a Young America’s Foundation event.

“While you’re not going be locked up for standing up for the truth and saying the truth yet, you will be demonized, you will be stigmatized, you will be deplatformed, you will lose friends, maybe jobs. The end result is that America’s ability to get the course correction it desperately needs gets delayed and at some point, if more people don’t stand up and fight hard, the nation is going to die.”

We do need to craft some slogans that stick. Begin to take the messaging turf.

I just watched “Cromwell” for free on my firestick. Fantastic as Richard Harris was very good in it. He was the reluctant leader everyone wanted. The King ended up being beheaded for a just cause. Oliver Cromwell kept wanting an out for the king but like today King Charles wouldn’t budge while his own people were becoming aware. Cromwell’s faith in Parliament soon came up short-sounds too familiar.

Trump is still alone in this. It won’t be easy. We need fighters and more leaders. The groundswell of support is there. The lieutenants are not.

Basically a summary of Mollie’s book. I like her. Very intelligent and articulate.

And just in case anyone should consider unhinged to be hyperbole, consider this:

Leftists are preaching such absurdities as that a man can get pregnant and give birth, infanticide, and cannibalism, and they have established diversity and inclusiveness, not national defense, as the mission of the US military.

In cities controlled by Leftists, crime is rampant, drug addicts and drug pushers are everywhere, and people regularly defecate on the cities' sidewalks.

They have established a weak puppet, controlled by an evil cabal, in the US Presidency, which, among other things, has encouraged adventurism by America's enemies, domestic and foreign, and threatens a recrudescence of the Cold War and the possible destruction of the USA, which is the ultimate objective of the cabal.

This is only a small part of their madness.

Such insanity is the very definition of unhinged.

And it is dangerous!

There is apparently no distance off the beam that they are willing to drift--and force sentient beings to accompany them.

And consider this:

Anyone who can unhinge YOU to the extent that you will believe that a man can get pregnant, can make you believe ANYTHING.

And anyone who can make you BELIEVE ANYTHING can make you DO ANYTHING!

BE FOREWARNED!

(i>the broken and corrupt political and media complex

*************

If you want to have any chance of fixing the a corrupt and broken system the first thing that needs to be done is to elect people who are TOTALLY COMMITTED to shrinking big government and its massive administrative state. This is the weapon the Left relies on to push its agenda and expand its control.

If we can't do that there's little hope of ever fixing the system IMO.

Oliver Cromwell's speech condemning the British Parliament is as true today concerning governments,the world over, as it was then.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place,

which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.

Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.

Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.

Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?

Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?

Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?

Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.

Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.

I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place.

Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.

In the name of God, go!"

As for Cromwell-Trump could do the same-run them out of D.C. Move the house session to a run-down part of the country with enough hotel rooms for congress and staff.
Move the cabinet departments to other states to serve the populace better.

Do it 100 days after the 2025 congress convenes and all earth-shattering changes are passed. Reconvene in the new locations where business gets done faster in the boarded-up downtowns. I think most would be too scared to leave their hotel rooms.

Our motive: think of all the federal employees who’ll quit rather than move.

The movie took liberties with accuracy but the gist of it was true and entertaining.

Parliament(congress) was and is guilty-big time. Cromwell didn’t want to be king but had to return to keep them in line. That’s what we need. The left is scared because Trump is just the man to do it.
