Whether the craven response by Congress and national conservative leaders, or, more locally, the action of a Republican Gerald Kivett in Sampson County,
North Carolina, member of the county commissioners, who made the
successful motion to remove the Confederate monument in that largely
rural county, it amounts to the same thing: cowardice, the fear of being
labeled a racist and perhaps being “cancelled,” hoping to stave off
something worse, but at base a lack of conviction and faith.
The Revolution is not mollified by weakness and groveling. Offering up
half a pig will kill the pig, as it will kill what is left of this
country.
I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised. After all it was
completely logical, the inevitable result of the insane “woke” political
correctness that has been building and raging, largely unabated, in the
United States now for years. Indeed, in my regular columns and essays I
have been writing that this insanity, spread and imposed like a highly
contagious and fatal infection—far worse than COVID—would not and could
not be stemmed by the pitiful half measures of spineless Republicans and
of despicably cowardly “conservatives.”
Yet, the news that the National Archives and Records Administration
(NARA) in Washington, D.C., had begun to re-label the nation’s founding
documents, characterizing them as reflecting “racist, sexist, ableist, misogynistic/misogynoir, and xenophobic opinions and attitudes”
and being “discriminatory towards or excluding diverse views on
sexuality, gender, religion, and more, ” still caught me off guard.
