All One Thing, Or All The Other

The Great Crossroads has been reached again, and there's no drawing back

The word "United" no longer applies as an adjective before "States." We have reached a crossroads at which a choice must be made.

For decades, most Americans, content in their (now proven to be false) comfort that America was ... well ... America, have been simply unaware that a Creeping Communism has been penetrating deeply into that idyllic America – which, in truth, likely never existed, but was certainly much better than the version we experience today.

The host organism for this Communism was/is the Democratic Party (and not a few Republican collaborators, selling out for personal gain) – now fully exposed for what they all are, and honestly have been, at least since the Obama years.

Like termites quietly at work, their damage unseen and undetected, it looks like nothing is amiss. Indeed, almost all Americans would have seen the Democratic Party as little else than the Party with nothing more than just a different view of how to advance and achieve the American Dream and national interests. But that was a fraudulent presentation. It is untrue that Democrats have been battling for America. Every policy they have put forward – and often implemented – has been aimed at destroying America.

That was the "quiet part" – that they were actually working against America, trying to overthrow it – with the help of all the institutions they had captured over the last 70-80 years.

They don't believe in America – they detest America because they have a worldview which denies and rejects, indeed makes war on, the principles on which America was founded.

Even among legal scholars from both Americas – the case is summed up neatly regarding the US Constitution. Is it a "living" document (meaning subject to change by the judiciary) – or is it set in stone with its timeless (dead) principles able to only be applied in historical circumstances?

If it is "alive", as the Communist America has determined, then that is a totally different Constitution than what the Founders intended. Rights come from God, not the State – which ultimately is the great divide at work here.

The fighting over which America, which Constitution, which worldview is correct must be settled because the divide has become unmanageable, and the Communist-Democrats will never stop until they have either won or been vanquished. If you think in terms of the old western's standard scene of the face off at high noon on the dusty street between the white hat and the black hat – "there's not enough room in this town for the both of us" – you get the picture.

Summing it up perhaps best was the characterization by Abraham Lincoln in his famous "House Divided" speech as the nation readied for war with itself – "A house divided against itself cannot stand ... It will become all one thing, or all the other."

America is once again at this crossroads – and there can be no drawing back. Lincoln had pointed to the future and said the state-by-state approach to slavery was unsustainable for America as a single nation.

The same analysis could be applied to today – where the Red State / Blue State divide is unsustainable. The Communist-Democrats demand absolute obedience to their agenda of anti-God, anti-human, anti-American policies across the entire nation – and those resisting them are drawing a line in the sand. The growing sense of this being unsustainable is the driving force behind multiple polls showing near majorities (45%) believe another Civil War is likely within 5 years.

The country has reached this point because of two major realities.

The first is the acquiescence of everyday Americans in the face of the growing evil – even their cooperation with it in various circumstances. There is something in the "conservative" mind which either is incapable of grasping the depth of evil that truly exists or looks away in fear of having to battle it. Whichever the case (and it could be both) – evil knows this and detects the weakness – that "conservatism" can be fooled, tricked and played because it is a collection of cowards or naïfs (or both.)

So as the battle is engaged, Evil immediately has the upper hand – in military terms, the element of surprise. And surprise attack after surprise attack has been their key to success owing precisely to the inherent nature (fallen nature) of "conservatives."

The second reality is the relentless push – the overwhelming dedication of Evil to simply destroy. Conservatism lives for peace and calm, so that it can thrive. Evil lives and works for chaos, destruction and suffering so it can thrive. Evil needs conservatives because it has no real existence of its own – much like cancer needs a living person, else it dies with its host.

But unlike cancer that has no consciousness, Evil does have a consciousness and has consciously decided to destroy its host; its own existence doesn't matter, doesn't factor into the equation because none of this is intellectual (as it is with "conservatives"); it's emotional. Evil simply hates; end of story. It is its single defining characteristic. There is nothing more.

At the moment – America is split between the embrace of evil (or unwillingness to accept its reality) and the resistance to it. "It will become all one thing, or all the other." Evil will have it no other way.
