We all know that famous snippet from TV and movies when the President takes the oath of office. Most of it, we can’t repeat it verbatim, but we can do this part: “all enemies, foreign and domestic.” The portion of the oath of office that most of our elected and appointed officials take when sworn into office is no mere recitation. Our Constitutional Republic is threatened both internally and externally by those whose intent is to do her harm. Democracy and a free society are tolerant of and encourage divergent worldviews, along with often conflicting political and social philosophies. Those differences, and the ability of all citizens to convey them peacefully, throughout and without interference, are the intended cornerstone of the First Amendment.
Since the inception of our Republic, we have had foreign and domestic enemies. But oh, for the good old days when all we had to worry about was whether someone was a Tory Loyalist or a red-blooded American revolutionary. From the time of the Enlightenment through the fall of the Soviet Union, despite deep, dark, and horrific chapters of world history, freedom, and liberty, as won, defended, and aspirationally strived for by America, seemed to represent the world’s struggle between good and evil.
Good triumphed over evil in destroying the Nazis and the evil empire of the Soviet Union. The might and will of the American colossus and the American people wrought destruction over these dark forces. This happened because the world had the leadership of America, which was accompanied by exemplary economic and military might to enforce the calling of civilization. There were no “gray” areas regarding the battle of good vs evil. There was broad consensus. America has always had its domestic brand of haters, but they were noise around the edges and tolerable as a fringe group.
Not anymore… In recent decades an evolution—or rather a revolution—has taken place, manifested by the rise of Wokeism, Marxism, extreme levels of “progressivism,” and murderous Islamic terrorism. Now plaguing America is the misunderstood and perverted idea that all forms of expression are to be tolerated, even when that expression turns into actions that threaten the American way of life. What does that mean?
These philosophies believe that all expressive actions, even those intending to destroy America’s socio-political structure through violence or incitement of violence, are to be tolerated in all walks of American life. Accompanying this perverse philosophy is the foundational idea that there is no good and no evil and that we need to embrace, accept, and empathize with all systems, doctrines, and ideas, and we have no right to judge. This mindset, or moral relativism, has been the vehicle that has delivered America and the West to the precipice of our destruction.
There are only two nations in the world that stand in the way of this axis of evil destroying all democracy and Western enlightenment: The United States of America and Israel.
This newly convergent Axis of Evil, composed of Islamic Terrorism and the Leftist brand of destroyers, makes strange bedfellows, at least on the surface. The Islamic terrorist brand of destruction despises virtually everything that their Leftist fellow travelers worship. The Islamic terrorist movement despises the LGBT community; send a Transgender person to Gaza or Iran, and their fate would be predictably brutal. However, this Axis of Evil forming the unholy alliance isn’t unprecedented. Mao Tse Tung and Chiang Kai-shek formed an informal alliance to fight the Japanese during WWII. The two Chinese warlords distrusted and hated one another and had two diametrically opposed visions for China but waited until the defeat of Japan to fight their civil war.
Western civilization is on its last legs…
The Axis of Evil and Leftist insanity has co-opted every international organization, and every Western nation, and has now invaded America. The Terror Camps on American college campuses are a recent and salient example of how foolishly inculcated Americans have become with the idea that kidnapping, destruction of property, and occupying university property (whether public or private) are acceptable forms of protest. Those who are allowed to be members of an academic community or those who are elected or appointed to serve in public office, and who choose to advocate for the violent overthrow and destruction of our country, should be dismissed through the processes that already legally exist; through impeachment or similar processes for public office holders or through firing/dismissal from academic institutions.
Justice Robert Jackson, the lead prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials, Attorney General of the United States, and Supreme Court Justice, once stated, “The Constitution is not a suicide pact.” For anyone who believes that the First Amendment covers speech that advocates for the murder of Americans, Jews, or anyone else from a public space, think again.
In the case of Feiner v. New York, it was established that you can’t yell “fire” in a theater. Keep that in mind when contemplating the hollow arguments in favor of free speech that advocates for murder, mayhem, and the general destruction of America and The American Way, and ask yourselves how that differs from yelling “fire” in a theater…
Wake up and smell the coffee; otherwise, we are doomed. All of our enemies, foreign and domestic, are on the move to destroy us, and if I were keeping the official scorecard, I would say they are winning…
