The Left Accuses the Right of Doing What the Left is Actually Doing...Again

Today, at Townhall.com Kurt Schlichter has a piece today entitled People Are Getting Tired of Woke Nonsense In it he describes a situation in which a physician was shopping in the same store with another woman who mistook her for an employee of the store. This happens all the time. I have mistaken people as employees, and it doesn't matter if that person is black, or purple, or indeed white. We have a number of white employees working in our stores, doncha know. But here is the point. When a white person asks another white person for information, thinking they are an employee and might know, only to discover they are not, it is no big deal. But when a white person asks a black person the same thing in the same circumstances, it is suddenly a Federal Case, and burning, looting and murder must immediately commence.

But this sort of thing isn't racism, and if you feel the need to feel victimized, perhaps you should re-evaluate your life.  Because these are luxury problems.  If this is what you have to get excited about...well, there are people who haven't eaten in a week and wonder where their next meal is coming from, or worse.

Now, the tale is as tiresome as you can imagine – apparently a “middle aged white woman” heir to Bull Connor – who was a Democrat – dared to ask the finicky physician if Her Medical Majesty worked at the store they were both shopping in and thereby assumed that Dr. Brittani James was a mere retail worker. I know, right?

No, it could not have been an innocent mistake – Occam’s Razor is racist too, apparently. Instead, this was clearly a hate crime that harkened back to the olden days, when bands of hooded Democrats with torches would ride the countryside, terrorizing black folks by asking them if they could supersize the Klansmen’s happy meals. Move over, Harriet Tubman, Fussy James has a real tale of racial oppression to tell. I bet a movie chronicling her trauma would win Best Picture; acting legend Nick Searcy could appear as the therapist who helps her move past the pain.

First, all of us should be on our knees thanking God that we live in a country where intramural hate manifests as not detecting one’s medical license or failing to be a linguist fluent in each of the world’s myriad tongues. I served in Kosovo, where people burned their neighbor’ homes and buried the murdered in mass graves, and I think those folks would be thrilled beyond measure to dwell in a place where the greatest challenge to ethnic harmony would be issuing occasional corrections about one’s employment status and name pronunciation. We are blessed to live in a nation that is so generally peaceful that the best these drama queens can do to peg the oppression-o-meter and redline the oppression they so desperately want with this kind of frivolous nonsense.

Go and read Schlichter's piece, as it is so true.

The second article I bring up today may therefore surprise you, but they do indeed go together. The second article comes from The Federalist by Kevin Portteus entitled Here Is When The Founders Thought Revolution Was Justified. In the article, Portteus describes at length the philosophy behind the Declaration of Independence, and contrasts the American Revolution with that of both France and Russia. In each the cases of the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution, the revolutions resulted in far worse tyrannies than the ones they replaced. The American Revolution is different, and deserves consideration as to why. In fact, Portteus claims at one point that the American Revolution wasn't a revolution at all, but a restoration of the rights of Englishmen. But first go and read the whole article.

Read it? Good. Now to discuss

Here is why I think these to articles go together.

What is happening now in our country can, as in 1776, be seen as a usurpation of our traditional rights, privileges, and legal traditions. We, as Americans have prided ourselves on the law binding all. Yes, it has been abused, but not so badly, and bald facedly as today. Today we can clearly see a two tier justice system, in which people with the "right" beliefs can get away with seemingly anything. Think James Comey, Brennan, the people involved in Fast and Furious, and there are too many others to mention.  Think how Kyle Rittenhouse is being railroaded for protecting himself.  Think about how Antifa and BLM rioted throughout Democrat run cities, burning, looting, and murdering people and businesses. None of them will be held accountable. Meanwhile people who entered the Capitol, where nobody rioted, and where not a single gun was collected by the FBI, in a so-called "insurrection," are being held in solitary confinement on charges such as misdemeanor trespassing.  How is this be equal protection under the law?

People who happen to currently be in the minority in terms of their skin color and national origin, have been led to believe that they are being constantly discriminated against.  But like the doctor in Kurt Schlichter's article above, they often have to scrutinize with a microscope, to find anything at all to complain about.  But why do they all run so hard from the fact that they have been blessed?  Yes, blessed to have been born in this country, to which people all over the World aspire to come?  And believe me, people like this doctor deserve the Kurt Schlichter treatment.

On the Left we hear much talk of insurrection, and insurrectionists on the right.  But we on the right have not been talking about revolution.  Much as in 1776, we have been concerned how to stop the Left from revolution.  Our concern has been, not to transform the country, but to restore it.

What do you think "transforming" our country means?  The insurrectionists are on the Left.  As always, they use the language to somehow paint themselves as the white knights.  They are not.  They are the true revolutionaries, and just like in Russia, the end result will be tyranny and dictatorship.
