When law and order are broken it must not be allowed to fester.  Such were leftists saying on and after Jan. 6, 2021, after a conspicuous absence during Black Lives Matter rioting.  However, leftism is once again showing its true colors in its latest riots nationwide. Its tenants are that of racism, classism and nullification in the name of control, exposing a philosophy of death by power and control through revolution that has been its mainstay for nearly 200 years; an insurrection that presents a far greater threat to the American spirit than that of the right.

Their “mostly peaceful” protests are a farce.  They attack government buildings due to federal enforcement of immigration laws (representing a threat to its plan to register illegal aliens as voters, or at a minimum, to make such people dependent upon the government). Then they move on to businesses of so-called privileged groups and even their own.

The left cannot help themselves.  Their disdain for law and order is such that they cannot even call for law and order but only, at most, for not playing into Trump’s hands.  Yet they cannot even follow that suggestion of leftist leaders. The insurrectionists/nullifcationists attack the businesses of their own and that of other races.  They claim to be for animal rights but attack police horses.  They attack unmanned vehicles, environmentally friendly cars and vehicles driven by people.  They claim to be for everyone yet consistently push for breaking the rules whether it be for the elites, illegals (for future votes) and socialism (just enough given to make people dependent, and for their votes).

This is not a surprise for a philosophy of death.  Their Marxism goes way back, even before the academic introduction of European socialism, to the days of slavery.  It took Andrew Jackson, one of President Trump’s personal heroes, to crush the idiocy of his own Vice President, Democrat John C. Calhoun, who advocated nullification. This gave the Union another 30 years until Lincoln was gifted to us during the American Civil War.  Jackson’s stand was notable for he too was a slaveholder, yet he humbled himself in a Christian manner in making a bold stand for law and order against his own short-term interest.

Generations on, they continued through the 1960’s and Jim Crow. When that was stamped out, they tried other things to maintain power through abortion and illegal immigration. Their culture of death is so strong that they cannot even try to hide it anymore like the so-called Third Way Democrat Bill Clinton (he of the safe, legal and rare abortions and signing the Defense of Marriage Act).  It was bound to explode, especially when they are triggered by someone such as President Trump who represented the greatest threat to their power structure since Lincoln.

Lincoln, moderately so for an abolitionist, merely wished to hold the Union together yet the Communist left that enslaved blacks for a shabby economic system, saw him as a supposed radical. They rebelled and killed him for it and then realized their mistake. They hold the same venom for President Trump.

DOGE and other parts of Trumpism are exposing the NGO industrial complex, where government money is fueled to organizations, colleges, teachers’ unions and other groups where anti-American radicalism has taken shape.  As in the 1860’s and 1960’s, we see them once again exploding in insurrection and nullification.

Conservatism governs differently and while the populist element within it remains strong, its backers and even its enemies know it cannot remain conservative without supporting law and order. This is why law and order, even more so than the important economy, was the defining issue in 2016 and 2024 elections.

We cannot be fooled by the left and must heed the warnings of those who warned us so about them. The left’s attempts to quote Ronald Reagan every now and then are nothing but a farce, designed to score political points and create a rift in an America that is governed by consensus and not by elitist leftist coalitions.

America is a nation of freedom and law, the very antithesis of European-born socialism. The sooner the left wakes up to that the sooner America is safer. However, the left being its own religion, and not that of one that causes great humbleness, will pick up the stories of the few innocent people that were hurt in the righteous attempts to restore law and order. They will run with those as they have no moral, logical and winning argument.

The choice is clear: send in the troops and send in the dogs. End the legacy of Calhoun’s insurrection and nullification. The Union Forever!
