Just a few thoughts from an old fellow who's still proud to be an American for going on eight decades, who served over two decades in the military during and following Vietnam, and witnessed first hand the chaos of the 60s and 70s. I welcome your comments and/or criticisms. History provides us many lessons if we take the time to open our minds to the facts, some good and some bad. But, most importantly, it presents an opportunity to learn so we don't repeat our mistakes.
Despite the current chaos surrounding the virus pandemic and the recent cancel culture movement I firmly believe the worst is yet to come. Plus before the November elections the DOJ report on the Deep State anti Trump coup and possible indictments will become public. Doesn't make much difference which party wins the November election, since a majority of the American citizens will be unhappy and the current grid lock, that we're seeing today at the federal, state and local levels, will continue. The riots, protest and demonstrations will not only continue, but they will likely intensify following the election. Neither party, despite their promises or best efforts, will ever satisfy these whiners who would rather protest and deface their country than roll up their sleeves and contributing to making the country better for all. They, first and foremost, dont understand it's not just about them!
Unfortunately, today, like in the 60s and 70s, we have many groups marching to their own agendas. There is really no common cause, sense of purpose, or objective across these groups including Antifa, BLM, the looter gangs, individual ethnic neighborhoods and finally, many young folks who seem to be out protesting for no other reason than they believe they are entitled and deserve to get something free. This despite having been given most everything during their young lives by their parents. Obviously, they have no sense of appreciation or responsibility.
Observation - Despite the "defund the police" drum banging I firmly believe the protester's best friend is actually law enforcement! Now I'm sure many are saying the old man has lost his mind. But let's examine the current situation. The vast majority of Patriots in America respect law enforcement and despite being the best armed and, in some cases, well trained non-military force in any country today they have stood their ground and allowed federal, state and local officials to do their job. They aren't the ones killing cops, destroying property, looting stores or assaulting innocent brothers and sisters. However, if law enforcement is defunded or at some point simply turns its back on the chaos you will likely see a nation wide ground swell movement of Patriots taking up the cause. Remember an important lesson of history, if a vacuum is created someone or some force will fill that vacuum! In my opinion, these protesters would be no match for well armed, God fearing American citizenry. Some, maybe many, would die in the ensuing chaos. And for what cause?
These protest cities should conduct an experiment by allowing a section of their town or a select neighborhood be devoid of law enforcement for a month. See how it works out for the residence and business owners! Seattle CHOP is a perfect example of an experiment gone wrong from the beginning complicated by the total ineptness of local officials. Within a day or two the protesters were out of food, airspeed or ideas. No thought of logistical sustainement or infrastructure. Where's the beans, bullets or bandaids? Plus, due to their actions, they and Seattle city officials immediately lost the support of the folks living in the area.
Certainly hope each of you have already prepared yourselves, your families and your properties for the post election months. If not, you should consider beginning today. I firmly believe the future of our country depends on our willingness to stand up for America. Right now, these domestic terrorists, have their knee on the throat of Our Country and We the People are having a hard time breathing. Wake up America.
God Bless you all.
