Compared to the horrors of World War II something like the COVID-19 pandemic is trivial.\u00a0 And compared to the dislocations of the Great Depressions some might think the slow-motion erosion of wealth in the United States over the last fifty years is easier to escape.\u00a0 I won\u2019t dispute these judgements.\u00a0 But nothing this country has endured previously has ever destroyed the morale of its people the way the ascendant cultural Marxist attacks on the identity of traditional Americans has.\u00a0 The combined power and reach of the educational, cultural, commercial, legal, financial and informational institutions have combined to demean and harm anyone who doesn\u2019t grovel before the perverse and dishonest narrative that the Left compels everyone to acknowledge as truth.<\/p>\n
And even though we are starting to fight back, the battle is so lopsidedly in their favor that we will continue to lose the majority of battles for the foreseeable future.\u00a0 They own all of the high ground.\u00a0 We barely have some bunkers in no-man\u2019s land.\u00a0 They will continue to punish with impunity anyone who defies them in any meaningful way.<\/p>\n
But what they\u2019ve lost is credibility.\u00a0 No one sane believes what they are saying anymore.<\/p>\n
I never really thought deeply about the biblical quote \u201cThe truth shall set you free.\u201d\u00a0 As a child I thought it was a trap to get me to \u2018fess up when I had done something wrong.\u00a0 Well, that had more to say about my questionable morals than about scripture.<\/p>\n
But now I understand.\u00a0 The truth shall set you free is another way of saying \u201cI was blind but now I see.\u201d\u00a0 When we base our actions on inaccurate information, we may fail to escape from the problems that those lies are propagating.\u00a0 Knowing the truth sets you free from the circle of failure that lies perpetuate.\u00a0 An example from my life was finally realizing that the Republican establishment wasn\u2019t trying to defend conservative life.\u00a0 Once I saw that truth everything that had been puzzling about the political situation in the United States made perfect sense.\u00a0 Suddenly I saw that some whom I had assumed were friends were really enemies and some whom I assumed were crazy turned out to be sane and actually wise.<\/p>\n
Now, in the last five or six years the Trump revolution has turbo-charged the Left into a manic assault on all things normal.\u00a0 All the masks have dropped off and all on the Left have shown their true colors.\u00a0 And there is the silver lining.\u00a0 Even the dense and even the stupid can now see clearly that the Left is openly attacking normalcy with the intention of replacing it completely with perversion, dysfunction and madness.<\/p>\n
This clarity finally makes it possible to stop losing ground and slowly make progress.\u00a0 Even starting from bunkers in no-man\u2019s land we can begin to improve our positions and reclaim territory.\u00a0 And most importantly we can organize friends and shun our enemies.\u00a0 Both are important.\u00a0 Helping friends is critical when we are so weak and disorganized.\u00a0 But as we get better organized and bigger, we can start to do damage to our enemies.\u00a0 Losing our business will begin to hurt our enemies more and more as time goes on.<\/p>\n
So, there\u2019s the silver lining.\u00a0 The truth shall set us free.\u00a0 And from my point of view, it already has.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
