Speak Reality, Speak Truth

 Andrea Widburg, at the American Thinker today has a post on the same article I highlighted yesterday at Dennis Prager's profound and disturbing meditiation on the 'Good German'.

Just as sobering as the willingness to abandon liberty is the American people’s willingness to abandon free speech. Rather than fight back against cancel culture, good Americans fall silent or, when BLM threatens, good Americans raise their fists too.

Prager understands that many Americans have simply been brainwashed. Our media, our educational system, and our corporations (filled with people pumped out by our education system) hate America and Americans. We’re marinated in that hatred. We’ve been primed for decades. The lockdown was the spark. And instead of an explosion of freedom from that spark, we had an implosion of fear and self-loathing.

If you want to reassert your rights, you need to start now to refuse to acknowledge that which is untrue. You can not go along to get along, because they fully intend to use your cowardice against you. Martin Niemoller was a German, Lutheran pastor who, just after the end of World War II wrote a confession, which is memorialized as a poem:

First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist 

Then they came for the trade unionists 

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist 

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out 

Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left 

To speak out for me

See a theme there?  Speak reality, speak the Truth.
