So, I\u2019ve read all the New Year\u2019s predictions, resolutions, discussions, whatevers.\u00a0 Basically, nobody knows much of anything.\u00a0 We\u2019re in uncharted territory and everybody is guessing based on insufficient data.\u00a0 Well, nothing new there.\u00a0 Just more so.<\/p>\n
The rain we got last week erased the snow so Camera Girl and I were virtuous today and went for a long walk in the woods this morning just to start the year off right and that gave us a chance to talk.\u00a0 And I think we both feel that the COVID inoculation will at least reduce the lockdown nonsense at least somewhat.\u00a0 Maybe we\u2019re kidding ourselves but that is what we are talking ourselves into at this point. \u00a0And I\u2019m guessing that most people are also at the point where they are going to be unwilling to let this lockdown nonsense go on much longer.\u00a0 Maybe I\u2019m giving Americans more credit for having backbone than they deserve. \u00a0But we\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n
Going into the New Year I think everyone wants to know how and where the rebellion begins.\u00a0 Or even if.\u00a0 Because let\u2019s face it, it\u2019s possible nothing happens.<\/p>\n
What shape will action take?\u00a0 I assume it will be a leader deciding to step forward and begin organizing a movement that changes things.\u00a0 That begins to oppose the actions and ideas from the Left in a demonstrable way.\u00a0 Not just talk, results.\u00a0 To my mind that will look like a governor and legislature of a red state announcing a law that rolls back some unconstitutional action of the federal courts or the federal bureaucracy that penalizes the citizens of that state.\u00a0 Maybe they nullify some of the actions of the federal government that curtail civil liberties.\u00a0 Maybe they look at any actions of the bureaucracy that overstep the powers that the federal government is given in the Constitution.\u00a0 For instance, recently vernal pools have been declared navigable waters as an excuse for allowing the federal government authority over how private citizens treat their own property.\u00a0 Such outrageous overstepping of their authority has become common.\u00a0 A state championing the rights of private citizens being attacked in such ways would protect those citizens from having to take on the gargantuan power of the federal government alone.\u00a0 It would also be wildly popular with the common people and would guarantee enormous electoral success for the politicians smart enough to do it.<\/p>\n
Or maybe it will be a business leader who decides to break ranks from the corporate monolith and starts to court the favor of the normal people on the Right.\u00a0 Maybe a tech company decides to become the new PayPal but makes a point of saying that it believes that \u201call lives matter.\u201d\u00a0 Or it publicizes the fact that it donates a portion of its profits to a traditional religious charity, one that pointedly adheres to biblical beliefs about traditional male and female family roles.<\/p>\n
Or maybe it will be some private individual who stands up to the mob.\u00a0 Maybe it has already happened.\u00a0 Maybe it was Kyle Rittenhouse.\u00a0 His trial will be coming up.\u00a0 Maybe he will be the spark that wakes up the sleeping giant in this land.<\/p>\n
Or maybe nothing happens.<\/p>\n
So that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been pondering today.\u00a0 The new year begins and no one really knows what will occur.\u00a0 I\u2019m an optimist.\u00a0 I think we shall see a leader step forward and try to channel the anger and dissatisfaction with the current situation and build it into something permanent.\u00a0 And I know that\u2019s what we really need.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s hoping that is the way it goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
