This past Fall, the events of October 7, 2023 forced me to pen a number of substack articles:

If anything, I was too benign in my estimation. The Gates of Darkness are now wide open for all to see. The supposed “Best and Brightest” of the American intellectual elite have been unmasked for what they really are: The spiritual and moral heirs of the Third Reich. For all the high talk of supporting the poor Palestinian people, they are seen for what they really are: haters of Jews. Any Jew…Israeli, American…it really doesn’t make any difference. Theirs is a visceral hatred that has been with us for thousands of years, since the Call of Abram from Ur.
What is more, they hate the very concept of the American Dream enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The video clip of the Superman wannabe charging out of the Portland State Library with his/her/its trashcan shield only to bounce off the stalwart cop was delicious. Is showed the movement for what it is: entitled brats supported by leftist cowards imagining that they are somehow freedom fighters when they really are scared little wimps, too long told that they were entitled to something for which they never worked nor even understood.
Well, as difficult as it has been to watch these past few days, perhaps it is a cleansing that has been a long time coming. The leftist lies have been finally exposed and the sleeping giant has been at last aroused from slumber.
The Frat Brothers at UNC protecting the US flag from the screaming cowards behind their masks and pitiful umbrellas will perhaps someday be seen in the same light at those raising the flag on Iwo Jima.
For too long the elite and effete from the Poison Ivy have called the shots while the hard-working middle class has been led to believe that they had no legitimate voice. Well, they have finally learned to use that voice. We finally realize that what made this country great were not the Coward Class, but those who were not afraid to get their hands dirty and actually do the job instead of pontificating about it.
People are now tired of being told by The Squad that their country, for which many fought and died, was evil. It is not. The Police are not bad…the criminals are! DEI really stands for Division, Exclusion and Inequality and we categorically reject it. Nobody is “entitled”….you have to work for it, and if you don’t, you don’t deserve it. The concept of “reparations” is offensive! You will be judged by the Content of Your Character, your ability, and nothing else. Checking boxes got us into this mess in the first place. Thowing out those boxes will get us out of it.
The Spectacle on the Quads have fulfilled one important purpose: it has finally pointed out the importance of this next election. It is literally the line in the sand. The choice is between Liberty and Totalitarianism, despite all the hype from the other side. Gaslighting will not work in this election. A phony pandemic will not work again as organized medicine has lost all credibility. An appeal to Liberal Guilt will not work again. Even a lying press will not work as the publication of vehicles such as this is able to cut through the propaganda. We see the rampant hatred on the other side. No amount of censorship will change that. Even lawfare will not work…
Months ago, in August 2023, spiritual leaders such as Dutch Sheets foretold a period of intense shaking for this country. I have to confess that I was hoping he was wrong. He was not. That shaking will most likely get worse before the election so we must be prepared and remain strong.
Dutch was right in seeing the shaking and the severe nature of it. But he also said that “America will be saved”. We have to do our part. We must hold fast. We must pray—it is our powerful and decisive weapon. We must continue to revere the principles in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. We must allow free speech from anyone, including the spiritual descendants of the Brown Shirts arrayed against us. But we must vote. And while we have to allow their speech, we don’t have to elect haters of our country to public office, and we don’t have to support bringing in more people who want to destroy us. National Borders are profoundly moral.
We don’t have to donate to private educational entities that hate us, nor do we have to support with tax dollars public institutions that have as their stated goal the subversion of our very principles of liberty. We can demand that justice is served equally, without political concerns. We can protect all children from those who attempt to use them to further their own political and social agendas. We can expect that a Supreme Court Justice knows what a “woman” is! The tail does not wag the dog.
Today, read the Declaration of Independence. Notice this:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
It is “endowed by their Creator”, not “you know the thing”!.
Think about this….Brave patriots pledged their “lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor” to support this document. What happened to them?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.
And now we have come to the point where a President makes a joke about it…Let that sink in.
Over the next week read the Constitution. Better yet, get a FREE copy of this important document from Hillsdale College. Get one for each of your children and grandchildren. Ponder that this document, with amendments, guided this country since 1789. With amendments, it has @7,600 words. Obamacare, HR 3962, had 363,086 words!!
Right on, doctor; so, write on, sir, please. You certainly speak for me.
Amen!!
