It was a good run. 228 Years, one of the longer ones as far as government goes. Freedom was today bludgeoned by the antifa in the city where the seeds of freedom first took root. Does any one see the irony? A group claiming to be against neo-nazis, funded by an unrepentant nazi from WW-2 uses the exact tactics the nazis used in their rise to power.
Germany after WW1 was governed by the Weimar Republic, named after the city where the Constitutional assembly was held. It was the first time Germany had true representative government. Socialism wasswift in strangling freedom though and Weimar lasted a mere fifteen years.
What we are witnessing today is a repetition of the actions that brought down Weimar and launched Germany on the destructive path of WW2.
The KKK, long the functional arm of the democrat party was thrown under the bus. At first they were kept in the closet, unwanted baggage, but the dems kept it since it had once been handy. Now the extreme left, once it's home, are attempting to graft it on to the republicans who struck it down and ended it's power.
How did that happen? History got rewritten again and again. The heroes of the south, men like Lee and Jackson, were held to national shame by their association with the Civil War. They were just men who fought for an unjust cause. While the south was defeated, they were not vanquished. With Lincoln's death, presidential power shifted from republican to democrat. Remember them?They were the ones in control for lots of years prior to the civil war. They had controlled Congress since 1847. Fact of the matter is, prior to the democrats storming out, the republicans had never held control of both houses, and their predecessor, the whig party, was pro-slavery. Once reconstruction was over, those confederate leaders quickly regained their local status. Their families and neighbors never scorned them. Rather they were seen as men who attempted the impossible there at home.
Supposedly the winners write the history, but that was not the case with our civil war. When the history was written, the democrats were again in charge, and they wanted to gloss over the deeds of their heroes. It was easier to make the issue of slavery slide back than to make it palatable. The mantra became state's rights. Never mind that the only right the southern states cared about then was slavery, and please ignore that they opposed state's rights when it came to the fugitive slave act, and also regarding whether states like Kansas could enter the Union as free states.
In 1915, the democrats held control of both houses of congress. I'm skipping over the intervening years because the chambers changed hands several times. Things were happening in Europe, and Wilson wanted to strengthen the military in anticipation of that. The army built Ft Benning, Ft Bragg, Ft Gordon and Ft Lee. Later with WW2, the army again built posts, Ft Hood, Ft Pickett, Ft Polk and Ft Rucker. In all, ten army installations are named for Confederate Generals. Not bad for the losers, but why, if the north was all about erasing southern history, were those posts named?
OK, that is just the military, what about writing History???
Who writes history? Most often it is done by college professors, publishers, and politicians. We all know about CLAMs, Congressional Left, Academia, and the Media, in short the ones who write American History. If they are so trust worthy, why did we not vote HiLlARy for President?
Look at all the bad things they have done to our nation, and not just in the last eight years, and ask your self why you wold trust a history book written by some one on the left?
We can't get the media to tell the truth about the Clintons, we can't trust a word they print about President Trump, why do we trust them regarding History? Ask your self that.
I am not wanting to shame these men. I am not wanting to tear them down. The truth about the Confederate Generals is of less importance than so many other things which have been rewritten, but I want the truth to be what is taught. Tearing down monuments and destroying relics of history is harming all Americans. No matter what antifa does, the average white Joe in the south will still utter the names of Jackson, Lee and Davis with reverence, and they will teach their children to hold them in reverence. Why care? because the truth will get even more distorted.
If History were honest, the ones who would be most thankful for slavery would be black Americans. Why? Because with out slavery, most of them would not be. Not merely here. At. All. Many of them have genes from their grandmother's former masters, and since genetics are what make us us, they would not be at all. Their stance is as confounding as Barry Soetoro lamenting that his mother could not have access to abortion in 1960 which would have eliminated him from the human race.
Even with out the genetic imposition though, what would have become of their ancestors with out slavery? Would the muslim invaders have allowed them to live? Remember that the Arabs exported the beautiful women and the slight males to their home lands to serve them, and that they emasculated the men and raped the women. Then, when children were born, the males were again emasculated and the daughters used for sex slaves. The me nwho were sent to America were seen as a potential threat. they were the big strong men, the tough warriors, the ones who would not back down nor take a knee to a lie err allah. Bad as it was, slavery possibly saved many of their lives. Be sure of this, I am still not pro-slavery.
Getting back to antifa, it is no surprise what is happening. The globalists that have taken over Washington have a plan and a schedule. Time is their enemy, time runs the risk of their lies being exposed. Granted, the media won't expose them, and when alt-media like bloggers do expose things, the media is quick top jump to the globalist defense. George Soros is 87. eight years of President Trump makes him 95. Hell, it makes him dead. Is George really the hand that rocks the cradle though? Have the reins of power passed to son Alexander, or is Susan Weber pulling the strings? What is known is that his many "societies" "foundations", and "businesses" are the ones recruiting and funding much of this revultionary movement. The generation that stomped out fascism is almost completely gone. Since that time we have had war after war, a bottomless pit of destruction that has taken wave after wave of good patriotic men and women from us. Patriots died, and the scum, the traitors, the communists with in our borders multiplied. Not only that, they used the education system to pervert our children.
The black community is under their control. With out fathers, and dependent on hand outs, they are firmly in the leftard camp. Not content, but so uneducated they cannot comprehend what they are part of, so they blame people who have been successful for their woes.
Much of upper class America is also in their camp, seeing themselves as the rightful master of the universe, and how dare a commoner think to approach their ivory towers.
It is middle class America that is under assault. It is the American dream, where any one can rise up to be President that is under attack. Does any one find it odd that Barry Soetoro, a man who would have fallen at the bottom of the spectrum was easily elevated to power? Why? simple, he was a mere puppet of Soros and company. They used him, and in fulfilling the dream they made a mockery of it.
Middle class Americans raise their children and send them to Universities to improve their lot in life. Those schools then indoctrinate them and create chaos. Some of them will stay caught in the whirl pool of liberalism, but most drift back right as reality sets in. They will mostly land well to the left of their parents though. We see that slip as liberal ideals once taboo are now becoming common.
Had HiLlARy or even Jebito won, there would be no need for antifa, and they would be getting ready for another year of college rather than another riot.
Free speech died in Boston. after that, People will be thinking longer and harder, choosing words so as not to offend lest they be the next target of communist wrath. If we make it to 2018, candidates doe office woill be shouted down en mass if they state anything the communists do not like. a hand full of thugs like what swarmed Charolette will storm any political rally seen as a possible threat.
Just like Germany during Weimar, the fascists who call themselves antifa won't stop until they are in control. GOD, help us.
