A Good Reason to Honor Robert E. Lee

 

Yesterday’s melee in Washington provides good reason to honor Robert E. Lee because he demonstrated how he maintained dignity in defeat while convincing many resentful Southerners to reconcile with their former enemies. At the end of the War Between the States in 1865 he had as much reason as any Southerner to reject reconciliation, but he didn’t do that. To the contrary he promoted reconciliation for the sake of the entire country.

Shortly after Lee died in 1870 his family gave biographer J. William Jones personal access to Lee’s letters in the family’s possession. Of this time Jones wrote, “When I had the privilege . . . of examining his private letter-book, I found it literally crowded with letters advising his old soldiers and others to submit to all authorities and become law abiding citizens.” In one letter Lee wrote, “The interests of Virginia are the same as those of the United States. Its prosperity will rise or fall with the welfare of the country.”

The Die is Cast . . .

 

 
 By noon on March 16, a mass of humanity; troops, dependents, and civilians, were clogging the old road. Some 400,000 civilians, 60,000 ARVN, and 7,000 Rangers began the attempted escape to the sea.29
 By the time that the last straggling men, women, and children had reached Tuy Hoa on the coast; 300,000 civilians, 40,000 ARVN, and 6,300 Rangers were missing, never to be accounted for.
 
Dark clouds obscure the sun, rain in the offing, the whole week.  
 
The Angels weep.  

And so the bright experiment ends, a farcical coronation behind barbed wire and bayonets.

The long dark night descends on America, and by extension, the world.  
 
History tells us, day will not dawn again, for a long, long while.  
 
What was, was, what is, is. 

A truism of these latter days is "You will never vote your way out of this!"

Sad for the innocents, dead and yet to die.  Sad for truth, Sad for honor. Sad for Freedom

When the Communists are happy, it's time to rethink where we're headed

                                          

Couldn't happen here............... 🙄

 “A prefabricated hell and a place one comes to only if the alternative to it would be death.”

America’s ever-tightening, Stalinist “cancel culture” is increasingly resembling China’s “social credit” system, in which you must toe the party line in order to work or obtain medical care and other necessities.


A day after the Georgia U.S. Senate runoff handed the Left its trifecta – control of both houses of Congress and the White House – the Communist Party USA gave notice that this is merely the latest stage in Sovietizing America.

An editorial on the CPUSA’s website acknowledges that the Democrats’ total control may be temporary, so they had better make hay while they can: 

"In this context—the ever-present capitalist system and the temporary two years of a Democratic-controlled Congress and White House—what we do in the next two years is crucial,” the editorial says. “After we heave that well-deserved sigh of relief, the class struggle continues.”

Poll: Trump Leaves Office with 51% Approval Rating (Up Since Rally) & Mitch McConnell: Capitol Rioters Were 'Fed Lies,' 'Provoked by the President' (You will be primaried and lose)

On his last full day in office, President Donald Trump enjoys a 51 percent approval rating, according to Rasmussen Reports, one of only about three polling firms that have a proven track record for legitimacy and accuracy. Most of the other polls are crap. Rigged. Fake. Not worthy of anyone’s time.

Trump’s disapproval rating sits at just 48 percent.

There are a lot of media polls that show Trump’s approval rating in the low forties, and even in the thirties. But, over the course of the last few election cycles, we have learned that these are almost all fake polls, rigged polls, polls that in no way reflect reality. And we know this because when the ultimate poll is taken on Election Day, the media polls are all wrong. The whole point of media polls is to mislead, demoralize, and deceive the American people into believing Trump is less popular than he really is.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Tuesday spoke about the major breach that occurred at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, stating that the mob was “fed lies” and “provoked” by President Trump, as well as others.

Speaking on the Senate floor on Tuesday, McConnell said that the “mob was fed lies” and “provoked by the president and other powerful people” — effectively echoing the claims made by his Democrat colleagues, who accuse Trump of inciting the chaos that descended upon the Capitol that day.

“The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people, and they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government which they did not like,” the Kentucky Republican said.

D.C. Riot Latest Excuse To Rewrite Second Amendment History

Historian Saul Cornell has long argued that the Second Amendment doesn’t actually protect an individual right to keep and bear arms. Instead, the Fordham University history professor views the amendment as neither a collective right nor an individual right but a civic right; “an obligation citizens owed to the state to arm themselves so that they could participate in a well regulated militia,” as one of the blurbs of his books puts it. In other words, he thinks the Supreme Court got it wrong in Heller.

The Trump Ban: The Only Free Speech Zone for American Conservatives Is Russia

 Via Billy

 

This is the moment Russia has been waiting for but it is unknown if those in the halls of the Kremlin even know that it is happening.

The only side that is going to really benefit from Big Tech’s war on free speech will be the Russians. In fact, it is really the Western elite’s deep hubris that has given Russia so many opportunities to become “russurgeant” after being crushed in the Cold War. Decades of questionable wars of “convenience” along with unending threats of destruction for anyone who dares question Washington have created a diverse group of scorned nations all willing to shake hands with Moscow. Making international agreements is a lot easier when no ideological strings are attached and no submission demanded. Thanks to incremental anti-Russian sanctions imposed because the pro-Washington Maidan didn’t take 100% of the territory of Ukraine, 1990s import addict Russia is now living a sober West-free lifestyle actually producing the things it needs to survive under Capitalism. And now, the blanket ban of Right Wing/Conservative figures over Social Media including the President of the United States himself is opening the door for Russian Social Media to explode onto the English-language online space. Without pettiness from within the American elite itself Russia could have never create this #migration of non-Russian speaking users to their sphere of electronic influence. But the big question is will the Russians actually understand this and jump on this truly unique opportunity?

Whatever Happened to History?

 

We are in the process of losing history and therefore any meaning for our life that is more than a rapidly passing moment.

According to a recent poll, 72 per cent of Americans think that we are now in the “worst” period of American history.  Polls are dubious things and the great historian John Lukacs has questioned whether there really is any such thing as “public opinion.” But this poll simply supports what we already knew about pervasive historical ignorance, which is exhibited every hour of every day by the politicians and the minions of the “news” media. 

Americans are a momentary and self-referential people. They can’t remember what happened last week unless it was on a soap opera.  Few have any notion of ancestors, and, except for those of us who cherish our grandchildren, posterity is never thought of. If it is not now it does not exist. This is an unprecedented situation. In every past civilised society even common people had some idea of what their ancestors did in the great events of the past. The past was felt—it was not a theory or a slogan. And they planted trees and built houses that would only be enjoyed by their descendants.
