OUR CONSTITUTION PROTECTS FREE DEBATE NOT MOB RULE

 OUR CONSTITUTION PROTECTS FREE DEBATE NOT MOB RULE

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

 

Americans are facing a cultural revolution with traditionalists who want to keep our institutions and laws intact and progressives who want to create an equitable, utopian, communist society. The clashes between these two diametrically opposed groups has left progressives energized and strident. Traditionalists are confused, silent and intimidated in the public square, fearful of being called racist. 

 

When traditionalists peacefully assembled for political rallies during the coronavirus lock-down they were chastised for not wearing masks, social distancing and disobeying the local government’s arbitrary edicts. However, the supposedly “peaceful” protests for the BLM movement were reported by the media as 99% peaceful. Yet in the background burning businesses could be seen. Radical anarchists intimidate with lethal weapons that have been previously ignored. Although anyone wearing a Trump MAGA hat, a judge ruled was legitimately provoking radical democrats to attack that person. 

 

This cultural revolution has been simmering since the 1960 sexual revolution. There has been a giant shift in our cultural mores., law and order and respect for our constitution in the last half century. In the 1960s there were riots in the street and assassinations of many prominent leaders. Our constitution survived but our national tolerance of acts once considered evil has slowly changed our cherished traditions. Americans have become lazy in protecting our honored beliefs and values.

 

The double standard shown by the democrat media and progressive politicians was evident in the case of Rayshard Brooks. It was an illegal act to resist arrest, another illegal act to wrestle the taser away from the officer and shoot it at him. Yet, the media attempted to dismiss his actions as acceptable and legal while focusing on the policeman’s behavior as wrong even in self-defense. This media strategy has been repeated with each new episode and there has been little pushback from traditional Americans.

 

Obviously, the progressive politicians and the media are in a frenzy to undermine” law enforcement. Most of the “peaceful protestors” are calling for “reallocating” law enforcement money which is really defunding.  Hundreds of people will be identified and arrested for serious crimes including murder but will be released with no punishment or financial restitution. This opens the door for criminal mob rule that overwhelms law and order. These actions are eroding our cultural institutions creating conditions that could overthrow our Constitutional Republic.

 

After the smoke of chaos of a cultural revolution clears, an oppressive central government could be established to protect the progressive elite’s property and power. The new law and order will not protect the liberty and rights of all citizens, only the ruling classes. The average unconnected, “forgotten citizens” will be required to follow the dictates of the all-powerful government or will be persecuted or executed. Freedom of choice of citizens will end. 

 

The first thing in any revolution is to turn everything upside down to create disorder. Society’s truth has been redefined where holy is now called evil, sinfulness has become chic and godly acts are seen as contrived and phony. This weakens appreciation of godliness and strengthens acceptance of abortion, criminal acts, personal deception and oppression. 

 

The undermining of traditional American values and virtues opens up the door for evil to run wild. Instability will be evident all around and within us. Our institutions will be altered to control and then deny previous liberties of the average people except the elites. The average deplorable residents will become sheeple, be institutionalized for re-education then returned to the community or be eliminated. 

 

Traditional Americans need to be smart by not over or under reacting to illogical thinking, lying and violent progressive tactics. They must be courageous and voice their observations and viewpoints without self-censorship to others in a forceful but rational manner. Any transgressions against our freedom and rights should be lawfully identified and resisted. 

 

Debate should be our major tool to reach and convert the ignorance and anger of propagandized, misled progressives. The cancel culture should not intimidate us into silence. The bizarre rulings of a progressive judge who releases Antifa members the next day after they commit crimes and members of the mob who call for the killing of police should motivate all of us to rise up against these injustices. The freedom of our children, grandchildren and our nation should inspire us like all previous patriotic Americans to speak up. 

 

Liberty has always had a price of facing down selfish, ignorant, ungrateful individuals and mobs. The cancel culture is a tactic of totalitarian control and can only be defeated with the courage of individuals speaking up to reveal the lies of evil and truth of God’s goodness and love.
