America's Choice in November: Salvation or the Progressive Abyss



In the space of a single day (July12), the following news stories were disseminated:
  • Police in Washington, DC were shot at by five people riding in a van. Americans will no doubt be "relieved" to know they fired at police to avoid arrest, not to deliberately target cops. The cops themselves? One suspects a more "benign" reason for thugs trying to kill them is of little comfort.
  • In Detroit, four black Americans were arrested for allegedly using Facebook to threaten police officers with death. "All lives can't matter until black lives matter. Kill all white cops," read one of the posts.
  • In in Cleveland County, NC, deputies in uniform were served tampered food and taunted by employees during a lunch break at Zaxby's, a fast food restaurant. "Years ago, this profession was respected, it was honored. Now to get ridiculed, to be a target, to possibly get shot at, for little pay... what's the motivation to be a police officer other than do it because your heart's in it to help the community?" asked Police Capt. Joel Shores.
  • Despite bearing the brunt of the execution of five of his officers and the wounding of seven others, Dallas Police Chief David Brown revealed he and his family were getting death threats on Facebook.
  • The New Black Panther Party (NBPP) has vowed to carry guns for "self-defense" during demonstrations in Cleveland slated to occur before next week's GOP convention, if Ohio law allows it. It does. That would be the same "law-abiding" NBPP that put a $10,000 bounty on George Zimmerman's head, and the one the uber leftist Southern Poverty Law Center labels "a virulently racist and anti-Semitic organization whose leaders have encouraged violence against whites, Jews and law enforcement officers."
  • During a memorial service for the officers slain in Dallas, President Obama used the occasion to once again lecture Americans on racism, stating that everyone has "heard prejudice in our own heads and felt it in our own hearts," and "none of us is entirely innocent" in that regard. Obama also pitched gun control and conflated yet to be fully investigated police killings in Baton Rouge, LA and St. Paul, MN with the deliberate and racially-motivated assassination of Dallas police officers.

  • In Houston, Democratic City Councilman Dwight Boykins advocated segregating police forces by race. "I think at this point, because of the crisis situation, not in Houston but throughout the country, we need to have officers patrolling areas that reflect the ethnicity [of that community]," Boykins stated. "Because that will eliminate second-guessing. People know their community; they know their culture; and I think that can make a difference."
  • On Fox News' "Kelly File" Monday night, Chicago community worker Jessica Disu advocated abolishing all of the nation's police forces, because "the police force in this country began as slave patrol." Rapper Chuck D of the 80s group Public Enemy echoed the latter sentiment on CNN's New Day. If Ms. Disu or Mr. D had even a modicum of historical knowledge they'd know slave "patrols" were initiated by Democrats, who established the Ku Klux Klan in response to the GOP's Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing black political and economic equality.
  • Circuit Judge Barry G. Williams dropped one of four charges against Baltimore police Lt. Brian Rice in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray. Williams ruled prosecutors had not presented enough evidence to prove second-degree assault following three days of witness testimony. Rice is the fourth of six officers slated to stand trial. With regard to the first three, Officer William Porter's trial ended in a hung jury, and Officers Edward Nero and Caesar Goodson Jr. were acquitted of all charges.
  • Four off-duty Minneapolis police officers working the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx game at Target Center Saturday night walked off the job following a news conference during which team players denouncing racial profiling, and then wore Black Lives Matter pregame warm-up jerseys. Lt. Bob Kroll, president of the Minneapolis Police Federation, said if the players "are going to keep their stance, all officers may refuse to work there."

  • "America, in the logical spirit of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, was exceptional among modern societies in slowly evolving from its original, largely European immigrant population to a 21st-century assimilated, integrated, and intermarried multiracial society, in which religious and racial affiliations were incidental, not essential, to one's public character and identity," writes National Review's Victor Davis Hanson. "But such a bold experiment was always tenuous and against the cruel grain of history, in which the hard work of centuries could be easily torn apart by the brief demagoguery of the moment. Unfortunately, President Obama, ever since he first appeared on the national political scene in 2008, has systematically adopted a rhetoric and an agenda that is predicated on dividing up the country according to tribal grievances, in hopes of recalibrating various factions into a majority grievance culture." A majority grievance culture is the lifeblood of progressives, whose power is predicated on keeping Americans divided by race, color, religion, gender and class. We are rapidly approaching the inflection point of this bankrupt proposition, one where Americans either remember or discover the exceptional nature of our history and culture, or reject it for a nihilistic tribalism whose ultimate destination is anarchy or totalitarian rule. As I have said in this space before, Donald Trump is an extremely flawed candidate. But it is not a choice between Trump and Clinton in November. It is a choice between Trump and fascism. The kind of fascism where an FBI director freely admits Hillary was not only allowed to testify without being put under oath, but no recording or transcript of her testimony was made. The kind of fascism where the United States Attorney General meets with Clinton's husband, defends the meeting in testimony before Congress, and refuses to explains her own thinking about Hillary's email investigation. It is the kind of fascism where progressives no longer feel the need to even pretend they have legitimacy or adhere to the rule of law. What kind of people do that? People who believe their power is absolute.
