Funny how great minds work. I catch hell every time I post this in a comment on the Internet. I wondered who else had come to the same conclusion, so I did a search. It seems a Frenchman by the name, Joseph de Maistre (1 April 1753 – 26 February 1821) was a Savoyard lawyer, diplomat, writer, and philosopher, beat me to it by more than 200 years.
He also said, something else close to my heart: "False opinions are like false money, struck first of all by guilty men and thereafter circulated by honest people who perpetuate the crime without knowing what they are doing." So attributed to a majority of Liberal Type Americans today.
And his premonition of America's future, providing there is no accountability brought to bear upon the Democrats and their Media accomplices for their assaults on the Law and the end of Democracy. "All grandeur, all power, all subordination to authority rests on the executioner: he is the horror and the bond of human association. Remove this incomprehensible agent from the world and at that very moment order gives way to chaos, thrones topple and society disappears."
Here is a good example of what he is talking about that I got from Facebook.
Maxine Waters is Crazy:
ALERT: Maxine Waters fires up Leftist mob to attack Trump Administration officials, one year after Leftist activist attempted to assassinate Republican lawmakers during Congressional baseball game.
This is what happens just before neighbors start killing one another. Everyone has the legal right to defend their family from these kinds of threats and assaults. This woman is fomenting insurrection, plain and simple. A few are beginning to see the light.
Another:What's on TV is a political tactic but something else terrifying is going on. Formerly responsible ppl suddenly sound like extremists. Left's no longer working to convince those who disagree. They’re trying to destroy those in the way. It’s not a pose. They're sincere. It's war.— Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) June 20, 2018 on Facebook.
More than sick. This is the ultimate of evil. America is on the cusp and needs to decide: Live by the Law, defend, protect and honor the U.S. Constitution - Stop at stop signs - Full Stop. Or die by lawless corruption, anarchy and chaos. We are in the midst of the most deadly assault on Democracy since its inception and it comes in the guise of a harpy.I really truly hope this is just a horrible joke. Sick sick stuff. https://pic.twitter.com/VggjNhkYbw— Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) June 29, 2018
You Really Do Get The Government You Deserve.
FOURTH OF JULY UPPDATE
We should all understand, I would think, that our American Constitutional Democracy is predicated upon three legs, Legislative, Executive and Judicial. Destroy one leg or branch and the legal system of government fails. Yet a few days ago tens of thousands of well-intentioned, ill-informed and misguided people were doing just that all over the country: Demanding the Executive (President Trump) stop enforcing the law. These so-called demonstrations were a direct seditious assault on American Democracy. Here is a link to one of a local demonstrator's website posting: Some shots from today’s Keep Families Together march in Eureka.
The Founding Fathers may have formulated the Revolution's successful government on an idea, I'll guarantee you that idea was not the corrupt, wanton idea of freedom we see enforced today in all facets of our lives with absolutely no accountability. Neither the law nor the Constitution gives anyone the freedom or right to harass, intimidate or threaten by act or voice. We do have the right to defend ourselves and our families. We can start by complying with and demanding every law be enforced. -- A good way to celebrate the Fourth. Even though, the truth be known, we're in the throes of a civil war right now.
