    from the Late, Great Dr Walter Williams

    http://walterewilliams.com/parting-co...

    an excerpt, this is from 2002

    The problem our nation faces is very much like a marriage in which one partner has an established pattern of ignoring and breaking the marital vows. Moreover, the offending partner has no intention to mend his ways. Of course, the marriage can remain intact while one party tries to impose his will on the other and engages in the deviousness of one-upsmanship and retaliation. Rather than domination or submission by one party, or domestic violence, a more peaceable alternative is separation.

    I believe our nation is at a point where there are enough irreconcilable differences between those Americans who want to control other Americans and those Americans who want to be left alone that separation is the only peaceable alternative. Just as in a marriage where vows are broken, our rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution have been grossly violated by a government instituted to protect them. These constitutional violations have increased independent of whether there’s been a Democrat-controlled Washington or a Republican-controlled Washington.

      Consider, for example, Progressives' commitment to the "ideal" of "Equity" that elevates black thugs/gangsters above the legal system designed for non-black citizens, and ensures privileged treatment for those coming from "underserved communities.".

      By executive order, Biden, acting in the name of the Democrat Party, is installing Equity Commissars (AKA "Federal Agency Equity Teams/Leaders") to oversee all government bureaus and agencies.

      These commissars will oversee business done with contractors to be sure "Equity" will be in place. Those corporations that want to do business with the US government will have to show evidence of commitment to "Equity" and blackness will take the place of merit and ability to service government needs.

      Is this or is this not the same religious zeal that we see in place in N. Ireland?

      My question is what happens when appeals to reason don't work anymore. Just take a look at N. Ireland. Appeals to reason haven't worked very well there after centuries. Yes, there are a few Democrats who will listen to reason, but the party as a whole is in the grip of "Progressives" who are just as committed to their ideology as any religionists that you will find in N. Ireland.

    This 32 minute response from Glenn Beck is stellar.

      👍 Superb.
      Glenn does an excellent translation of the text of the Declaration of Independence that describes in detail what is happening today and the REASON behind resistance to accept the left's tyranny.
      Commander, you should post this as a Gulch topic of its own so it gets wider viewing.

        On July 4 2012 I posted The St Paul Pioneer Press full page of The Declaration Of Independence upon the wall in front of my desk. In 2014 I read The Objectivist's Ethics. I've been evaluating these, with The US Constitution and The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights, as adopted by the UN.

        There is a solution to the conundrum of interpretation. Philosophy; Who needs it?
        Time to clean up and clarify the interpretive, philosophical basis of Freedom and Liberty. I've been working at this for 9 years. No "divorce", never. The US Constitution is the finest in human history, and it can get better.

        Freedom is the "absolute" of relationships and choices. Liberties are expressed and implied aspects of Social Contract, in the ephemeral of personal relationships and the expressed and implied of Trading/Commerce. The mechanism has been changed to indoctrination, assumption, that the People of the US want to participate in the permutations of the Doctrine of Liberties expressed as Federal and State LAW. This is the difference regarding informed consent of participation in the parity of Elites being educated in Realschule and the Lay in that of Volkschule. Philosophy and LAW are never to be separated in a clean educational process. In order to keep a Representative Constitutional Republic all people must be educated that the choice of participation is elective.

    An ideological rift has been occurring for some time. She put it on the table in geographic terms, which I don't think is the case this time. However, she has the guts to put it out there in the forefront - it was inevitable someone would do it. Let's see what happens from here.

    IMHO, so far the left has launched its usual weapons of condescension and ridicule and the RINOs are running for cover under the left's umbrella. The MSMM has to kill this thing before a lot of people have a chance to really think about it.
