There can be no real debate remaining towards the arrival of our imminent demise can there be?

You can feel it in the cafes at night, there’s revolution in the air. And it ain’t the good kind.

In fact, can you name for me more than three “good” revolutions? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

It’s everywhere and it is brought upon us in so many insidious ways along so many invidious fronts. The folks on the other end of the gun don’t know, maybe don’t care. But the folks on the other side of the plan know full well and have been planning for a long, long time.

C’mon man, you have to see it- it’s everywhere. Not long ago it was there but nowhere and now it is everywhere.

When did we all get so sloppy and lazy and not give a crap about anything much other than “what’s in it for me?” followed shortly by “what’s on TV tonight?” Dress sloppy, look shitty…act accordingly.

Where is the pride in a job well-done by me but maybe for someone else?

When did we start to stop caring about spending money that isn’t ours and that we don’t really have anyhow?

When did Christianity become so evil and Islam so good? Whose heads are rolling? When the hell did God leave the building?

When did color of skin supersede content of character? You all like to quote the words and then not live up to the intent.

When did it become so cool to throw open our borders and despise our police?

At what point did we all agree that we have to celebrate two lovers of the same gender and accept their union as traditional marriage?

Where are our birth rates at these days?

What happened to the family?

How are our schools doing? When did the liberal-progressive faction consume our institutes of higher learning and why do we allow them to continue to digest and defecate our young? Younger still every year…

When did free speech become free only when pre-approved?

At what exact point did personal freedoms give way to government decrees?

How much did you get for your soul and how much did you pay for mine?

When do those who once spat on our soldiers throw open their arms in embrace? And, even more importantly, why? They always have motives.

Once you are so easily put at ease you just as well might be put at rest. Guard taken down is opportunity. Capitulation is so softly and easily sold and consumed.

How to fight any of this?

It has to start with our youth and we have to have the patience to allow it to grow back from there.

I had an eastern redbud once that the local horticulturist insisted was dead- likely educated at one of our fine universities. I otherwise learned to cut it back all the way to the main stems, the still-living wood, and perhaps pray. Sun and water help as well.

It quickly and amazingly became one of the largest and most beautiful shrubs in our yard. It’s still there and still beautiful.

Sometimes it can be that easy- you just have to be aggressive with the shears.

Maybe all revolutions ultimately fail but maybe they just need to be revived from time to time.
