Resist Democrats’ efforts to derail democracy
In the classic American novel Moby Dick, the protagonist, Captain Ahab, pursues his “monomania,” the eponymous white whale. His is a vengeful crusade, a vendetta against a creature which he mythologizes to demonic proportions. In so doing, Ahab leads himself, his ship and his crew to total destruction.
Today’s Democratic Party pursues (with Ahabic fury and dementia) its monomania. Its “white whale” is Donald Trump. Two bogus impeachment attempts (and the folderol accompanying them) on trumped-up, politics-driven charges, beleaguered Trump and the nation. If anything gave breath and breadth to suspicions about an inimical, anti-democratic “deep state,” it was this corrupt, fruitless charade perpetrated and prolonged by contemptuous pols, complicit government insiders and their media acolytes.
Failure was not a lesson for them. Their fear of and anger at Trump (and those Americans who would support him) lingered, metastasized into his post-presidency — ultimately ginning to their attempt to void him as a presidential candidate — thereby disenfranchising voters from a legitimate choice. The Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, took the shillelagh to this latest outrage: an out-and-out coup against democracy by a woke, neo-Marxist enemy within — to be despised, denounced, repudiated, resisted.
Theirs is “crossing the Rubicon,” “firing on Fort Sumter” treachery, an anti-constitutional coup-d’état by office-holders betraying their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution. These are insidious enemies to be resisted at full measure without compromise. They are an Hamas lurking, acting to brutalize, to debase our hard-won democracy.
No greater moment to reiterate a phrase once practiced in high school typing classes: “Now is the time for all good men (and women) to come to the aid of their country.” Resist. Repel the traitor. Tomorrow will be too late.
