Standing Orders & Why they matter...

The other day I read a piece that I chose not to link, essentially because it was lightweight work.  But the author, a young Republican, was dismayed at the violence on display surrounding 2016 politics.  The statement that struck me from the author was ‘There is no historical basis for violence in American politics.‘

Let’s just state the obvious for the uneducated: (1) Violence has been the fundamental cornerstone for every worthy and unworthy political advance in America. (2) Lack of violence has been the fundamental cornerstone for every defeat handed to the ideals and realities of Liberty in America since Yorktown.

It was a lack of timely violence that brought us the Federal Reserve (ultimately) and the notions of ‘Implied Powers’ lurking in the Constitution.  Aaron Burr brought violence to the problem, but too late. (Though one must consider what other horrors might have befallen the American republic had Burr demurred and allowed Hamilton to live…)

It was a lack of violence that permitted the Judiciary to exert its will and claim the power of Judicial Review that was never authorized in the USC.  We live today under the rubber stamp of Judicial Tyrants because a lack of violence in the age of Marbury v Madison.

It was a lack of violence that allowed a sitting US political class to impose Alien & Sedition without bleeding for the hubris.

It was a lack of violence during the Whiskey Rebellion that set the tone both in Washington and beyond regarding the new hierarchy.

It was a lack of sufficient violence that allowed Lincoln to gut the USC and BoR, and impose his will to destroy all remaining vestiges of the republic.

It was a lack of violence that allowed the 16th Amendment to stand in 1913 and usher in the age of income taxation.

It was a lack of violence in 1934 (and 1968 and 1994) that has allowed Marxists and Tyrants of all flavors to infringe and nearly deny the Second Amendment to Americans.

It was a lack of violence in the 1930′s that allowed the Federal Government to expand (thanks to the rogue Judiciary) the interpretation of its powers through Interstate Commerce and General Welfare.

It was a lack of violence in the 1940s that allowed the New Deal to begin raping Americans for the benefits of anyone a politician chose to favor.

It has been a lack of violence that is responsible for traffic light cameras, license plate readers, facial recognition in public, Stop & Frisk, armed paramilitary forces on subway systems in America, loss of privacy, internal check points across the country where travelers are faced with armed men demanding their papers, voting fraud, Marxism in schools, repudiation of Christian values, the force-feeding of tolerance for LGBT issues, the murders of tens of millions of babies still in the womb, the unchecked invasion of foreign peoples who do not share our values and then are given the fruits of our labors, the gutting of the plain meaning in every Amendment in the BoR, millions and millions of men and women sent into prisons for smoking a weed deemed ‘inappropriate’ by their Masters, the hundreds of thousands of dead American military men and women thrust into wars across the globe that had zero bearing on the safety of Americans at home, the rape, pillage and plunder of all wealth from America, the export of our industrial base, the importation of Muslims who mean to end us all, the rise of the Political Class to that of Master versus Servant, and theft from your pocket and mine by hundreds of millions of people from ‘Entitlement Programs’.

Violence has not been the problem either historically or now.

Our problem has been and remains our lack of willingness to use violence to right the wrongs of Evil Men.

That is all.
