Bowed But Not Broken

I removed the post I had made on the website Nextdoor Pleasant Garden earlier in an attempt to demonstrate and rally support for Law Enforcement Officers and to demonstrate a personal belief in God and our great country. In spite of being a rabid Constitutionalist I chose to remove the post because what started as a spirited discussion was quickly hijacked by people whose only answer about everything was to imply or outright call anyone with an opinion contrary to theirs racist, and/or having no concern for black people.

Private messages came to me from people expressing a concern for the tone and direction the post was going and politely asked me if I would consider deleting it.  Despite a firm belief in the First Amendment, as a curtesy to my neighbors concerns I did. But being as pigheaded as I am I posted the following under “Ex Post…Who’s With Me”.

“You may agree or disagree, but what started out as a sign of support for LEOs and an expression of pride in religious beliefs was hijacked by a handful of radicals and used to spread their form of poison. I am a Constitutionalist by nature. In fact I am a rabid Constitutionalist and to take down my post is tantamount to forced censorship by those same people. To take it down is capitulating to them which is something that makes me SICK TO MY STOMACH and violates my core principals. I sacrificed 20 years of my life along with other things defending the Constitution. That being said, I will RELUCTANTLY take down the post for the peace of the neighborhood. But after doing so I will go and throw up in disgust and then pray for forgiveness from my brother and sisters in arms and my ancestors who sacrificed from the founding of this country to now, and for those that forced this action. To those that tried to have a civil conversation I apologize. To those that only want to spread hate, I’ll pray for you.

 Had the venom been confined to just me, I could have cared less and would have left it up. When challenged on judging someone they did not know anything about the reply I got was “come out from behind the sheet.” And I wasn’t the only one. Other people received the same comment for disagreeing or expressing a contrary opinion.

This is a classic example of how leftists, radicals, and extremists handle an intelligent discussion. When they find themselves backed into a corner they begin the name calling and insults. And as a final stroke they will attempt to dox anyone who disagrees with them in an attempt to destroy their lives on every level. And because most people and businesses lack intestinal fortitude they allow themselves to be cowed by a vocal minority.

Real American must stand together and not let the bastards win.

“To Arms…To Arms”

Has anybody heard of H.R. 5383 which was introduced back on December 10th f last year? It’s called the New Way Forward Act. Sounds impressive, right? Well, like any bill introduced by the (National Socialist) Democrats in the House its name is a sheep in wolf’s clothing.

From the Bill as posted…TITLE I—End Mandatory Detention and Require Probable Cause for Arrest

That’s right, no mandatory detention a requirement for probable cause for arrest of any illegal alien entering the United States anywhere, any way. The bill calls for removing the law that makes it illegal to enter this country by any means other than a port of entry.

In simple terms, open borders.

From a summary of this abortion of law and order:

 “And even if an illegal is caught they won’t be detained or deported unless they commit a felony, and even then that’s no guarantee of deportation.

  Limits the categories of “serious crimes” under which an immigrant is currently barred from qualifying for asylum, changing the banned category to only felonies with a jail sentence of at least five years.

  Repeals or limits decades-old laws that limit immigration judges’ discretion, instead allowing it “if the immigration judge finds such an exercise of discretion appropriate in pursuit of humanitarian purposes, to assure family unity, or when it is otherwise in the public interest.”

  Prevents state or local law enforcement from the “investigation, apprehension, transport, or detention” of undocumented immigrants, as some law enforcement particularly in red states are doing.

  Repeals the existing law which makes crossing the border illegally a potentially imprisonable offense.”

The mask is off and the (National Socialist) ‘rats and their lackeys have shown their true colors and their lack of patriotism and concern for the American people, for our history of struggles and sacrifices to make this country great, for those that committed time and money to follow the law to become American citizens the right way, for those that have sweated and sacrificed to build great country. They don’t care because it’s all part of their plan to cement their grasp on power and forever lock out Conservatives and Republicans.

Their next step will be to give the power of the vote to everyone, legal and illegal, which will then allow them the ability to “fundamentally transform the United States of America.” (sound familiar?). Once they have that bottomless well of power the Bill of Rights, the entire Constitution will be shredded and burned and replaced with something like the Communist Manifesto. But before that happens there will be a civil war like no other seen. And if that happens, I’ll be in the forefront.

I saw a great quote…”Be on notice, when I joined the Army I took an oath to defend this country against all enemies both foreign and domestic. As far as I know, nobody ever relieved me of that responsibility.”

This won’t pass the current Senate (I hope) but their plan is to wait until they have both Houses and the Presidency. This, more than anything, should be the battle cry to get out the Conservative, Republican voters. If they win, the country loses. We all lose.

“To arms! To arms! The socialists are coming! The socialists are here!”

Unintended Consequences

I recently posted the following on the website ‘Nextdoor Pleasant Garden’ with the caption “Who’s with me?”…

It has generated quite a bit of discussion. About 85% of it has been support for the message both signs show. About 10 % of it has been about supporting police but still holding them accountable for their actions. The other 5 % in the negative.

One individual, who I respectfully will not name, sent me a private message saying the post was meant to create division. To that individual I say I respectfully disagree. The post was an exercise of my 1st Amendment right to speak to my beliefs and the use of existing technology and an UNCENSORED platform to do so. Had this appeared on Facebook or Twitter it would have taken down after just one complaint. As for the post itself, you can believe one, the other, both, or neither, it’s your choice. Whatever way you go just ask yourself one thing… is what I say in reply to the opinion of others a statement of my position or a snarky, personal attack in which I display my ignorance.

Do I believe the police are infallible? No. Do I believe there are bad police? Yes. Should questionable actions taken by a LEO be investigated by a qualified third party? Yes. All of that does not mean I need to lump all LEOs together and based on the action of a very small minority not show them the respect and support they need and deserve. Based on what I’m seeing all LEOs are being unjustifiably painted with a broad brush, something that should not happen to ANY group of people. Everyone has a right to be judged as an individual based on their individual actions, words and deeds.

Some of the replies to posts have become personal attacks. That is something that no private citizen deserves or should endure. If you choose to put yourself into the public domain (as I have) then you have declared yourself an open target and should be prepared to be pummeled.

Again I will say, whatever way you go just ask yourself one thing… is what I say in reply to the opinion of others a statement of my position or a snarky, personal attack in which I display my ignorance.

Who Will Stand With Me

Here’s something interesting.

I decided I wanted to purchase a Remington 870 Express Tactical shotgun. I called around to gun dealers in the area as far out as Kernersville and was told by each of them that they not only had none in stock, but they cannot get any right now. Their suppliers are not getting any either and cannot say when they will have any available. One dealer even said they have no tactical style shotguns or rifles in stock and don’t know when they will get any in.

Additionally I asked about ammunition. I was told by most stores they are either low or out of 9mm. Some are restricting the sale of 5.56mm/223 calibers to 3 boxes per purchase. Again, they can’t say when or how much they will get in from their sources.

Part of the problem is that truckers have expressed reluctance to carry cargo to cities where there have been widespread protests and rioting. This is affecting the replenishment of all categories of goods. As one example, if you’ve been to the Food Lion in Forest Oaks lately you see more than normal empty or near empty shelves, and I don’t mean just the toilet paper, paper towel, liquid hand soap and various sanitizers. I want to make it clear this is not the fault of the store or its management staff. They are an awesome group of people and a pleasure to interact with. And I don’t believe it’s the fault of the upper management of Food Lion itself. These shortages are costing them profits.

Another thing becoming more widespread is the spinoff from the calls to defund, or as I put it, defanging police departments across the country. Families, friends, and open supporters of LEOs are being shunned, insulted, mistreated, and in an alarming number of cases threatened with physical violence. Their homes are being vandalized, their children bullied, their lives in general badly disrupted. Some people are afraid to openly express support for the police. I, on the other hand, (being the right-wing radical fire brand that I am) have a sign in my front yard in full view of the street that says in big letters “WE SUPPORT OUR POLICE Thank you for protecting our families and community” It’s right there with my other yard sign that says “I’m a Proud Christian American”

I won’t hide who and what I am. I also won’t hesitate to stand up for it. I gave 20 years of my life (and a couple of other things) standing up and defending this country and if called upon I’d do it again.

How Did This Happen

A city in Minnesota is considering removing the word “chief” from supervisory job titles because it might offend Native Americans.

The CEO of Chick-fil-A is suggesting white people should shine the shoes of black people “to express shame for racism”.

THEY ARE PUSHING TO HAVE THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS CHNGE ITS NAME BECAUSE IT’S OFFENSIVE TO SOME PEOPLE!!!!

If you doubt me about any of this just Google it.

At this rate, anyone not considered woke enough or disagrees with these whackos will be rounded up and dragged off to reeducation camps. And the truly scary part is the people pushing this is are allowed to operate heavy machinery (i.e. cars}, own a gun, and vote!

Is this really how the greatest country in the world, a country that played a significant role in stopping the subjection of the world, that survived a civil war early in its formation, that went from the Wright Brothers to Neil Armstrong in the temporal blink of an eye, going to end?

Between this out-of-control insanity and the pandemic the Lords and Ladies are happy as can be. Not only is this allowing them to consolidate the power they’ve already acquired, it’s going to give them more control over what they consider the great unwashed masses of peasants. They are able to have their legions of paid minions on the streets to keep the chaos going. Paid by whom you ask? Some by direct cash payments from questionable sources but the majority are being paid by us, the people that don’t have time to spend days out protesting because we have jobs…jobs that pay taxes…taxes that gets collected by the Lords and Ladies under threat of imprisonment…then gets handed out to people who can’t work (deserving) and to people who WON’T work (undeserving). I wonder what the real numbers are for each group.

A poll says a third of people believe there is going to be a second Civil War. While I don’t put much credence into polls, I believe that number is too low. Hope I’m wrong.

As I write this President Trump is going to have a rally. I predict the leftist, socialist, lawless mobs are going to be there and there is going to a bloody outcome. Again, I hope I’m wrong.

“To Arms, To Arms!”

Folks, Big Brother and his Thought Police along with their minions are here and running rampant over our God given rights to free expression. The head coach at OSU is shown wearing an OAN tee shirt on a fishing trip and snowflakes on the football team wet their panties and had a temper tantrum over it. Sycophants on ESPN held their breath and beat their little baby fists on their desk and called him names while demanding he be fired for not only having unapproved thoughts and beliefs but expressing them. Facebook deleted one of my letters my wife posted on her page. No warning, no explanation, no nothing. That’s why I started alanscorner.blog instead of a Facebook page, why I don’t Tweet, or engage in other social media.

The dangerous part of all this is if you express thoughts or ideas, advocate for or take actions that are counter their agendas or contrary to how they demand you act or think they will dox you, pressure your employer to take action against you, harass and threaten your friends, your neighbors, in essence do whatever they can to make your life a living hell. Ladies and Gentleman (yes, there are only two genders…deal with it) that’s the world outlined in the books 1984 and Animal Farm, two books that were mandatory reading when I was in school and should be today. It is here! We are living it! And very few people are willing to push back against it. The majority just clutch their pearls and fan themselves while complaining of suffering from the vapors.

The only way this stops and get reversed is for the same majority to put on their big boy pants, quit worrying about being called racist, homophobe, sexist, or whatever. Business and corporations are going to have to man up and grow a set and tell these whiny, butt hurt little creampuffs who, I might point out, are a minority of their clients and customers, thank you for your opinion but we’re here to make money and create jobs, not be your club to remake the world into your ideal utopian toilet.

I’ve been told I’m tilting at windmills, but once people begin to realize derogatory terms like racist, sexist, etc. have been overused to the point that they’ve lost their potency things will change.

Justice

When people see situations running the gamut from the Hildabeast getting a pass from someone who believed she was going to be his boss soon to the current situation involving Mr. Floyd and others, both published and un published, it’s not hard to believe why people believe there is a two tier justice system where who you know gets you better treatment then the common person.

Look at the statue of Lady Justice. There are five symbols, three of which are supposed to reflect the three things most important in our system of justice, yet they are being completely ignored.

The serpent being trampled underfoot represents evil and lies.

The book represents the laws made by men which are part of the bedrock of civilization.

The sword symbolizes final justice swiftly administered.

The scales depict the weighing of evidence and how evidence should stand on its own.

Finally there is the blindfold she wears. This represents impartiality, the ideal that justice should be applied without regard to wealth, power, or other status. Let me say that again. It represents impartiality, the ideal that justice should be applied without regard to wealth, power, or other status. For the most part this has been the case…for us commoners. But for other people, those in positions of power at all levels, those of wealth, those symbols mean nothing because they feel they are above all that. Because of who or what they are they have a different set rules that they get to write as it suits them or their lackeys.

The other thing is they couldn’t get away with this unless the people who were given the sacred duty, who took an oath before man and God, to administer those rules and laws equally to all no matter who or what they are. And has always been my mantra, the finger of blame needs to be pointed at everyone who sits back, complains somebody needs to do something, then goes back to their Netflix and online shopping saying they don’t have time to participate or don’t want to rock the boat or whine their one vote won’t count for anything. In other words sheeple who passively and willingly line up to be sheared regularly.

Just keep in mind there is only so much we sheepdogs can do on our own. Put down the remote and the mouse and step up.

America…A Third World Country?

Welcome to the United States of America…a third world country.

Major U.S. cities burning. Elected officials sitting on their thumbs with a “can’t we all get together” whine in their voice asking the thugs and animals to please calm down. LE officers being attacked and in some cases seriously injured trying to do their jobs while being told by “elected officials” to use a “light touch”, to let “protestors (?) get it out of their systems”. Police being told tell rioters “stop…or I’ll say stop again.”

One thing I suspect is this whole thing is a coordinated effort. It seemed to happen too quickly in too many places simultaneously and appears to be rather well organized. There is one report of someone finding piles, pallets of bricks positioned in the middle of an area of unrest. Antifa and their ancillary organizations (and I do mean organizations) have activated their cells and are directing/leading things.

There was one individual who said they were going to the suburbs next and I believe them. And if that happens it’s truly going to be anarchy. There are more than a few homeowners in those suburbs that are armed and will defend themselves and theirs. You will see neighbors coming together to defend each other. And when law enforcement go after the low hanging fruit, that being American citizens defending their families, their homes their neighborhoods, when they go arrest them and not just take their guns but also prevent them from ever owning a firearm again, they will find themselves on a two front situation. Law abiding citizens will not stand by and lose what they have worked their lives for and will adopt a “if you won’t protect us we will do it ourselves” attitude towards LEOs.

Don’t think these “professional” politicians (an oxymoron) aren’t thinking about the next election during all this. They now find themselves in a no-win situation. They’re just trying to figure out who carries the most power for reelection purposes so they can kowtow and suck up to them. Despite what they might say they only care about one thing…how can I retain my position of power?

I’m going to sit and watch these (Nationalist Socialist) Democrat) nests destroy themselves. The second sentence of Galatians 6:7 apply here…”Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return.“ You created this monster Dr. Frankenstein, now own it.

Quicksand Ahead

There’s a dangerous precedent being set in Washington D.C. and we’re allowing it to happen (surprise, surprise) or even encouraging it. We’re allowing the Federal government to direct something that is and should be the exclusive business of states and local municipalities.

Congress is attempting to get involved in the training, oversight, and control of local and state law enforcement, in effect nationalizing our police departments. Every time the federal government gets involved in anything that has been a local/state issue it morphs into a federally controlled (read more power and control) program. Once the federal government gets their finger into anything it translates into a loss of control on our level.

The idea of a national database for the purpose of keeping bad police officers from simply going to another department and creating another bad situation is good. It should be expanded to include teachers who have been terminated for inappropriate actions or any other profession that impacts the general public in those ways.

Congress takes our money by force, disguising it by calling it taxes. I concede that a certain amount of that money is necessary for the government to operate. But what we are seeing is so far beyond that. The result is we lose sight of how they use that to sustain and expand their power. Take government money and you’ve given them the opening they need to eventually take control. You do what they say or the money goes away.

Remember also they use part of that money in the Ponzi scheme called Social Security. As the bumper sticker says, “Don’t steal and cheat…the government hates the completion”.

A quick word on the growing insurgent demands…the term is “Dane-geld”.

From “Dane-geld” by Rudyard Kipling

 “It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say:
“Though we know we should defeat you,
we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”

And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
but we’ve proved it again and again,
that if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
you never get rid of the Dane.”

Mr. Kipling nailed it. Submitting does not fix the problem. It exacerbates it. They don’t just not go away, they return demanding more and more and more.

Silent Majority Silent Too Long

The following are headlines from a news site on line…

Senate committee votes to require renaming of military bases named after Confederates”

Prestigious music college practically trips over itself in profuse apology for letting cops use restrooms during protest

Majority of Americans now say it’s OK for NFL players to kneel during the national anthem”

Country group Lady Antebellum changes name because of ‘blindspots’ they didn’t know existed, including slavery”

School sics cops on 11-year-old after seeing a BB gun in his house during virtual lessons, says it’s no different than bringing a gun to school”

‘Live PD’ canceled; critics now demand changes for ‘PAW Patrol’ and Disney’s Splash Mountain”

NASCAR driver quits because fans can’t bring Confederate flags to races any more”

The silent majority of the United States has remained silent for so long that they have essentially given the majority to the screaming radical, socialist, progressive left and their sycophants. As an old saying in the military went, “there I was completely surrounded, knee deep in hand grenade pins, no ammo, and down to my last broken bayonet.” I really hate sounding so pessimistic but given what I’m seeing and hearing they have us patriots and real Americans back on our heels.

If you try to stand your ground and defend what made this country great you don’t just get called names, something that really doesn’t bother me a whole lot personally, but you can find your livelihood, your property, even the very lives of you and your family at serious risk.

Anyone who knows anything about how the textbook for the planning of an insurrection and overthrow of a government reads, the first thing that must be done is to establish a secure, no-go zone where guerilla fighters and groups can go to rest, resupply, and reorganize without concern. This is not conspiracy theory babble, this is fact. Add to this the calls for the disbanding or defanging of law enforcement and frightening people with the idea that bringing in Guard or activity duty troops to restore order is a military coup instead of supporting the limited number of police available in any city, I see only one path.

One man’s fear monger is another man’s realist.
