I watched a TV reporter interview a group of very pleasant, older Midwestern folks. They all looked like they retired in some affluence and would be the kinds of folks you’d really like to have as neighbors. They all voiced a complete lack of understanding as to why and how “our leaders could let the crime situation get this bad.”
The fact that so many “regular folks” still don’t get that the enemy has breached the ramparts and occupied the high ground is astounding. Every time I say “It’s because they want this” the reaction is the same: “Not in this country.”
Sorry, Uncle Fred, it is in this country and it’s all around you.
Praise God that so far the enemy is totally inept and emotionally arrested. If they gain any real competence before we can pull down the pillars, we’re hosed.

The Left has been far more successful than the Right in this country in suborning institutions and making them part of their drive to crush all those who oppose the Left to any degree.

What have they done that would bother me?
