Imagine a government so hypocritical that it requires it’s citizens to prove they have health insurance, but not that they prove they are citizens.

Now compound that idiocy by implementing a policy that says if you refuse, are unable to, or are actually not a citizen then you will receive free health insurance paid for by those who are citizens and are forced to by the insurance because they are citizens.

The only way you could dream up such a ridiculous policy is if you actually wanted to slap citizens around and overwhelm the system.

The media will ignore this. He is a cis white male at heart, not to mention he is an old cis white male trying to tell a woman what she should think. How dare he.

America has always been a ‘divided’ country. When formed our population was freed from tyranny, the tyranny that forced people to act within the bounds established by the privileged few. Every person was now free to act in their own self interest. So, a population divided in their wants and needs and free enough to act in a way that satisfied these needs is the nation that our founders envisioned.

As the little meme above demonstrates, freedom and capitalism, carried to the extreme, can result in the resurrection of the same tyranny it was so successful at defeating

My personal view is that Nationalism (the terribly feared word/concept) is the only potion that can rid us from the cycle of tyranny. All Americans, rich and poor, were they to act in the best interest of the country (as conceived by its founders) while living their dreams, raising their children, and worshiping their God, would end this sickness in the nation.

There are a lot of reasons to turn around the gaggle that’s challenging our sovereignty at the southern border.  Knowing that many of these folk will not only suck resources and contribute little, but also many will ultimately become ungrateful for the privilege of joining our society.

Hold the line.  Build the wall

Benjamin Franklin once stated that: “When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic.”

I can’t help but think that we have already reached that tipping point in our culture, self interest at the ballot box, and we are on the very short slide into the ash heap of history.  The country cannot long endure a populous that will place their own slovenly habits and self interest above the health of the republic.  While critics vocally disparage ‘nationalism’,  it is nationalism that drives patriots past self interest and inspires the selflessness needed to keep the nation robust.

From the Art of Manliness:   Every generation has its share of men who fully live the art of manliness. But there may never have been a generation when the ratio of honorable men to slackers was higher than the one born between 1914 and 1929. These were the men that grew up during the Great Depression. They’re the men who went off to fight in the Big One. And they’re the men who came home from that war and built the nations of the Western world into economic powerhouses. They knew the meaning of sacrifice, both in terms of material possessions and of real blood, sweat, and tears. They were humble men who never bragged about what they had done or been through. They were loyal, patriotic, and level-headed. They were our Greatest Generation.

Patrick O’Donnell is a great military historian that writes in a simple, direct. and compelling way on the many events he recounts. He posts at Breitbart and his most recent article is on the closing hours of the ‘War to End All Wars’.  It begins with:

One hundred years ago this weekend, Allied commanders ordered U.S. Marines and Army personnel to attempt a perilous night crossing of the Meuse River and assault the heavily defended German positions on the far side. Prescient, General Black Jack Pershing foresaw the possible rise of Germany and wanted to make it clear the Allies had won the war by seizing more German-controlled territory. Scores of men would die in an attack that ultimately proved a tragic loss of life.

237 Years Ago Today

Hopelessly trapped at Yorktown, Virginia, British General Lord Cornwallis surrenders 8,000 British soldiers and seamen to a larger Franco-American force, effectively bringing an end to the American Revolution.

On October 19, General Cornwallis surrendered 7,087 officers and men, 900 seamen, 144 cannons, 15 galleys, a frigate, and 30 transport ships. Pleading illness, he did not attend the surrender ceremony, but his second-in-command, General Charles O’Hara, carried Cornwallis’ sword to the American and French commanders. As the British and Hessian troops marched out to surrender, the British bands played the song “The World Turned Upside Down.”

Although the war persisted on the high seas and in other theaters, the Patriot victory at Yorktown effectively ended fighting in the American colonies. Peace negotiations began in 1782, and on September 3, 1783, the Treaty of Paris was signed, formally recognizing the United States as a free and independent nation after eight years of war.
