It was all so well choreographed.
Those of us in North Carolina have some familiarity with protests at the seat of government.
When the Rev. William Barber and his Marxist compatriots occupied the legislative building in Raleigh several years ago, they were removed because of all of the noise they were making that was disrupting legislative activity. They then filed suit because they were removed from the building, and challenged arrests that had taken place.
They maintained they were entitled to be there even though they were intentionally trying to disrupt the legislature; and they were held up by the regional media as a worthy paragon of resistance and civil disobedience.
After it became apparent that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen, Mitch McConnell was exceedingly eager to have Biden inaugurated. Republican Senators tried to maintain that there was insufficient evidence of fraud despite all the objective information and sworn statements that had been presented to the public.
It was very clear that they were ready to move on from Trump, especially given this opportunity. This would necessarily mean they would lose control of the Senate. Why? Because failure to address the situation in Georgia would deliver the seats held by Perdue and Loeffler to the socialists. Republicans in key positions of power in the various battleground states were of a similar disposition as the U.S. Senate Republicans, and refused to act.
Then we witnessed the events of January 6. A prudent person would have analyzed what had happened and allowed investigations to unfold before jumping to conclusions. But Mitch McConnell called the Senate back into session within hours.
For those of us who watched the proceedings, it was a fraud from the outset.
Individuals Senators spoke and vented regarding their sense of violation over what had taken place. This is the people's house that was violated, they exclaimed. The were attacking our constitution.
They said these things over and over again.
Never mind that this particular body had undermined the constitution and ditched it over a period of more than a century. Never mind that the people were being forbidden to even enter the "people's house". Whereas in Raleigh it was considered a right to enter and make an absolute ruckus, the Trump supporters were not going to be permitted even to cross the threshold.
In fact, Congress is not the "people's house". Instead, it is the oligarchical donors' house. Nearly every one of those Senators is owned by their donors. And nothing can happen legislatively without the Senate.
The speeches were stunning. From both sides of the aisle, they were so well delivered, so well constructed responding to events that had occurred only a few hours beforehand. It was as if they had been rehearsed and practiced, well in advance. Yes, these are professional politicians accustomed to speaking extemporaneously, but even then...
Some of these Republican Senators, including Thom Tillis, had won their races over the last four years with Trump's support. In fact, Trump had helped Tillis fight off a well-funded, substantive primary competitor. But nearly all of these GOP Senators-- including Tillis and Richard Burr from North Carolina-- revealed the level of farce in GOP politics as they pleasurably twisted a knife in the President's back.
McConnell had sought to sabotage Trump's presidency from the outset. The Russia hoax was merely the start. McConnell used the Senate's confirmation powers to insist on establishment appointments within the administration who would refuse to carry out or would otherwise undermine the president's program. I would love to know to what extent McConnell's influence also sabotaged Trump's Supreme Court appointments, which tragically have turned out to be highly flawed.
And of course, when the vote was taken on the Presidential Electors, only a handful of Republican Senators objected-- only about 10-15 percent of the entire group. McConnell did not even remotely attempt to assert party discipline. Their contempt for their own base was palpable.
Once again, they were more than happy to cede control of the Senate to the Democrats to get rid of Trump.
During recent years, I have referred to the Democrats as socialists, because that is precisely what they have been. Many of the Republicans are socialists also, regrettably.
But over the last couple of years, it has become increasingly clear that the Democrats are full-blown communist and eager to suspend numerous civil liberties. And they stand to gain total control of the Presidency and Congress.
One potential foil to the communists' plans is Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who said this week he will refrain from abandoning the filibuster or packing the Supreme Court. Of course, the Marxists already have the Supreme Court even though it is 6-3 Republican. But I will leave it to the reader to decide whether Manchin can be trusted.
What is the bigger picture? We are facing the loss of Legacy America.
The United States was founded as a constitutional republic with very limited powers at the federal level. Our system was initially built heavily upon ideas that arose from the western, Christian tradition. John Adams famously once warned that our constitution would work only if our people were religious and moral.
Of course, huge portions of the American population are neither moral nor religious. The progressive march through the institutions assured they would not be.
Legacy America was inherently western and Christian. But the deliberate manipulation of our immigration system 55 years ago at the urgings of the American Jewish community-- to serve their own self-interest-- assured that would no longer be the case. That, together with the blithe toleration of illegal immigration from Mexico and Central America, assured that huge portions of our population would no longer be both western and Christian.
That has had dramatic impacts at the ballot box, as the socialists knew it would. First in Freedom, for instance, links to a video report by Trevor Loudon that documents the socialists' efforts to organize and recruit the immigrant vote in northern Virginia. Asians, Hispanics, Middle Easterners, Africans etc. are much less than likely to vote for Republicans; and we now have huge numbers of these in many jurisdictions. Breitbart documents how the immigrant portion of the population in the state of Georgia increased dramatically over the last 30 years-- from 2.7 percent to more than 10 percent.
But even with all that immigration, Perdue and Loeffler would have won in Georgia if Republicans had been willing to confront the fraud. But they refused to do so in order to get rid of Trump.
Similarly, they obdurately refused to support Trump on the immigration issue, even as it sows the seeds of their own irrelevance.
The march toward Marxism is also enhanced by many young voters, indoctrinated by the left, who have gleefully adopted this political philosophy. This is what happens when so many faithless people are utterly ignorant of history, and live in the midst of a failed state. But there are other factors that lead them down this path also-- familial, cultural and economic.
What does the future hold? There are still some rumblings that some type of intervention might ultimately prevent the long-term transfer of power to Biden and his ultimate replacement, Kamala Harris. That could theoretically take a number of different forms, if it happens.
It is uncertain what will happen to the Republican Party in the long run. It richly deserves a quick and merciful death. The Senate GOP is the personification of the Republican Party in the United States. The many well-intentioned conservative folks within the party at the grass roots level, who do all the work, are not representative of the output of Republican public officials.
But ultimately, what happens to the country is the big question. We have experienced over many years a gradual, successive adoption of socialist measures. We are now on the verge of a rapid descent to communist totalitarianism, for which the American left-- including those right here in North Carolina--yearns lustily. The Republicans have proved unequal to the task of preventing this; and the demographics are ultimately pointing in this direction.
And we cannot trust that God will save the United States from this mess when the country has been unfaithful to Him.
