Greetings, Dear Reader,
Apologies for missing yesterday, folks! I had an early day in Washington, DC, at my other job and I just couldn’t make the timing work.
I won’t be here tomorrow, I’ll be up in Jersey visiting family. But I’m here now. So let’s get to it.
ROOKIE NUMBERS
God, I love you guys, I really do. Love this country. Love the west. Love my colleagues, love my congregation and my community. Love my family most of all.
There’s a lot to be thankful for as we cross the 250th.
I’m here to tell you, however: Them’s some rookie numbers.
There are literally rock walls built by local tribes in Ireland that are older than us. Never mind some of the Catholic churches in Europe.
Socialism is sweeping across the country right now, and it’ll be the end of us if we don’t act. Mamdani isn’t just planning to seize housing – remember, rent freeze first, then seize – he’s nationalized the thermostats. Nothing says decline like telling people to keep their air conditioners near 80 degrees during a seismic, potentially life-altering heat wave.
On July 4 weekend no less.
NYC isn’t it either. Chicago, Seattle, Washington, Colorado. Certainly California. Washington, DC. We are going to see a flat out socialist governor soon. They’re on the move, and they’re moving on up.
The worst part perhaps is the apathy I feel emanating off my fellow conservatives. Do you know or even remember that conservatives used to run Hollywood? Quentin Tarantino remembered the time fondly and nostalgically with his recent “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” It featured Leonardo DiCaprio, the global warming hystericist, spitting the phrase “dirty hippie” like an epithet.
Ronald Reagan used to be the president of the actors union. Reagan! Not long before that, if you even had a friend suspected of being a communist, you’d be blacklisted.
Now they’re giving Academy Awards to hifi Hollywood movies that encourage acts of domestic terrorism on immigration law enforcement.
Yale and Harvard used to be factories of highly competent, ultra-aggressive right-wing WASPs ready to exert American hegemony. Now Harvard’s nom de guerre is “Joy Reid” or “Claudine Gay,” take your pick.
All this happened with stunning speed, btw. Basically in one generation. Despite being students of history, my fellow conservatives seem to have forgotten that all those historic death tolls from communism also occurred in one generation.
Talk to them about universities or public schools or cities or Hollywood and they just sort of shrug. It’s sad. Really? I think. You’re the progeny of the men who crossed the Delaware in a blizzard to massacre the Hessians?
It’s time that we step up if we want to outlive those rock walls. As we cross the 250th, it’s time for us to regain a sense of civic duty. Take part in your local community. Exert your will over the local school curriculum. Raise hell at the city council meetings. In short: Show up.
Late is fine. George was late to Trenton. He still won.
The bottom line is that we can no longer cede ground as a lost cause. No ground is theirs. No ground is worth giving up. None. Their hallowed ground must be occupied. Their sacred cows must be slaughtered and consumed. And if we can’t take over their captured institutions, we’ll bring them down.
It’s not enough to draw a line in the sand. Like George, we have to cross it. We have to go on offense.
Julius Caesar famously and literally crossed the Rubicon in 49BC, causing a civil war in Rome. (This is where we get the phrase, cross the rubicon.) In so doing, he brought to a head the rank corruption, dysfunction and civil strife of the late Roman Republic. His victory, while tragic in the end, also contributed significantly to Pax Romana. Two hundred years of peace and prosperity, without which, consequently, the spread of Christianity would have been all but impossible.
Much like George and the Delaware, that one act contributed materially to development of the west as we know it.
Neither would have happened if they just threw up their hands and said, oh to hell with it.
So on your 250th, take a beat to remember your forefathers, Roman and American alike, and the cajones it took to make us what we are today.
They are our forebears. We should act like it.
