Isolation During Trying Times

Alinsky Rule 13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

Does this sound familiar? We are seeing this played out hundreds, no thousands of times across the country. Someone says “All lives matter.” People storm his/her residence. “Protesters” force the employer to get rid of that person. A public official is forced to resign because of some remark that is twisted out of shape. A picture is taken that appears to show something that isn’t there. That person is fired from his job. The mob comes after the person’s spouse or parent or child. Acquaintances shun you or worse yet, label you with some convenient shaming label.

Defund The Police

Radicalism in America’s largest cities seems impervious to reason. Minneapolis appears ready to go ahead with getting rid of their police department. After a unanimous vote of the City Council to do so, they are now trying to figure out just how this would work. They talk about a police-free future. And that may happen sooner rather than later as more and more officers in the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) look for other places to be employed.

One protester said: “This isn’t the first time an institution that is rooted in racism has been abolished. It’s not impossible. We don’t need to scare people and beat people into submission.” My question to her would be “Who’s going to be beaten after the police go away?”

Antifa

Lara Logan goes on Fox News to talk about Antifa. As she points out, Antifa is a global organization that is dedicated to the overthrowing of all oppressors worldwide but especially in America. By oppressors they mean anyone who does not bow down to their philosophy.

Hate Speech

The thought police have returned to the floor of the US Senate. Leave it to one of the weakest minds in the Senate to come up with yet another worthless resolution to scold and control us deplorables. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), relative of Jussie Smollett, introduced a resolution that would malign people as racists if they used the term “Chinese Virus” or “Wuhan Flu.” This ignores the fact that Chinese state media outlets routinely referred to the coronavirus by these names. It was only when the backlash from the rest of the world reached epic levels that China tried to change the conversation.

Rebellion

The silent majority is becoming decidedly less silent. As draconian lockdown orders have spread throughout the country, the level of frustration has gone up with most Americans who were fine with voluntary compliance with the CDC guidelines.

While the MSM initially attempted to downplay the protests as a fringe movement by a few “right wing idiots,” the reality is that thousands and thousands of people are no longer going to sit by and allow politicians to dictate what they can and cannot do. Beginning with the drive-by protests by people in their cars in Lansing, Michigan, pushback against the various state lockdown orders has now spread to 18 states. Another seven states have rallies scheduled this coming week including Missouri, Pennsylvania and Maine.

Free Exercise Of Religion Attacked

Fundamental liberties do not end because there is a pandemic. Individual rights in our Constitution do not disappear during a public health crisis. This does not mean that quarantine cannot be imposed if someone has been exposed to a highly communicable and/or deadly disease. However, measures taken need to be even-handed. A government entity is not permitted to discriminate against one group while allowing another group to engage in the same or similar activity. There can be no disparate treatment.

Last week Greenville, Mississippi mayor Errick Simmons, a Democrat, and the city council banned churches from hosting drive-in services.

“The City of Greenville put in place an Executive Order that orders all church buildings closed for in person and drive-in church services, until the State of Mississippi’s Shelter In Place Executive Order No. 1466 is lifted by Governor Tate Reeves. Churches are strongly encouraged to hold services via Facebook Live, Zoom, Free Conference Call, and any and all other social media, streaming, and telephonic platforms,” the order read.

The governor’s order (EO 1466) recommended that church services not be in person but, he did not prohibit drive-in services. “Mississippi is not China, and it never will be,” Reeves insisted.

Fascism

Reagan wasn’t the only person to predict that fascism would re-emerge with more friendly face. Late comedian George Carlin, who was no right-winger and certainly no fan of the 40th president, famously warned that fascism would return with a “smile on its face.”
