(The following is the speech that I delivered this Sunday at the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention in Myrtle Beach. My appreciation to Joe Dugan and everyone involved in organizing it and making it a reality once again. And to Don Neuen and Donna Fiducia of Cowboy Logic Radio for the introduction. And to anyone and everyone still fighting the good fight.)

This is a civil war.

There aren’t any soldiers marching on Charleston… or Myrtle Beach. Nobody’s getting shot in the streets. Except in Chicago… and Baltimore, Detroit and Washington D.C.

But that’s not a civil war. It’s just what happens when Democrats run a city into the ground. And then they dig a hole in the ground so they can bury it even deeper.

If you look deep enough into that great big Democrat hole, you might even see where Jimmy Hoffa is buried.

But it’s not guns that make a civil war. It’s politics.

Guns are how a civil war ends. Politics is how it begins.

How do civil wars happen?

Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they can’t settle the question through elections because they don’t even agree that elections are how you decide who’s in charge.

That’s the basic issue here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.

I know you’re all thinking about President Trump.

He won and the establishment, the media, the democrats, rejected the results. They came up with a whole bunch of conspiracy theories to explain why he didn’t really win. It was the Russians. And the FBI. And sexism, Obama, Bernie Sanders and white people.

It’s easier to make a list of the things that Hillary Clinton doesn’t blame for losing the election. It’s going to be a short list.

A really short list. Herself.

The Mueller investigation is about removing President Trump from office and overturning the results of an election. We all know that. But it’s not the first time they’ve done this.

The first time a Republican president was elected this century, they said he didn’t really win. The Supreme Court gave him the election. There’s a pattern here.

Trump didn’t really win the election. Bush didn’t really win the election. Every time a Republican president won an election this century, the Democrats insist he didn’t really win.

Now say a third Republican president wins an election in say, 2024.

What are the odds that they’ll say that he didn’t really win? Right now, it looks like 100 percent.

What do sure odds of the Dems rejecting the next Republican president really mean? It means they don’t accept the results of any election that they don’t win.

It means they don’t believe that transfers of power in this country are determined by elections.

That’s a civil war.

There’s no shooting. At least not unless you count the attempt to kill a bunch of Republicans at a charity baseball game practice. But the Democrats have rejected our system of government.

This isn’t dissent. It’s not disagreement.

You can hate the other party. You can think they’re the worst thing that ever happened to the country. But then you work harder to win the next election. When you consistently reject the results of elections that you don’t win, what you want is a dictatorship.

Your very own dictatorship.

The only legitimate exercise of power in this country, according to the left, is its own. Whenever Republicans exercise power, it’s inherently illegitimate.

The attacks on Trump show that elections don’t matter to the left.

Republicans can win an election, but they have a major flaw. They’re not leftists.

That’s what the leftist dictatorship looks like.

The left lost Congress. They lost the White House. So what did they do? They began trying to run the country through Federal judges and bureaucrats.

Every time that a Federal judge issues an order saying that the President of the United States can’t scratch his own back without his say so, that’s the civil war.

Our system of government is based on the constitution, but that’s not the system that runs this country.

The left’s system is that any part of government that it runs gets total and unlimited power over the country.

If it’s in the White House, then the president can do anything. And I mean anything. He can have his own amnesty for illegal aliens. He can fine you for not having health insurance. His power is unlimited.

He’s a dictator.

But when Republicans get into the White House, suddenly the President can’t do anything. He isn’t even allowed to undo the illegal alien amnesty that his predecessor illegally invented.

A Democrat in the White House has “discretion” to completely decide every aspect of immigration policy. A Republican doesn’t even have the “discretion” to reverse him.

That’s how the game is played. That’s how our country is run.

When Democrats control the Senate, then Harry Reid and his boys and girls are the sane, wise heads that keep the crazy guys in the House in check.

But when Republicans control the Senate, then it’s an outmoded body inspired by racism.

When Democrats run the Supreme Court, then it has the power to decide everything in the country. But when Republicans control the Supreme Court, it’s a dangerous body that no one should pay attention to.

When a Democrat is in the White House, states aren’t even allowed to enforce immigration law. But when a Republican is in the White House, states can create their own immigration laws.

Under Obama, a state wasn’t allowed to go to the bathroom without asking permission. But under Trump, Jerry Brown can go around saying that California is an independent republic and sign treaties with other countries.

The Constitution has something to say about that.

Whether it’s Federal or State, Executive, Legislative or Judiciary, the left moves power around to run the country. If it controls an institution, then that institution is suddenly the supreme power in the land.

This is what I call a moving dictatorship.

There isn’t one guy in a room somewhere issuing the orders. Instead there’s a network of them. And the network moves around.

If the guys and girls in the network win elections, they can do it from the White House. If they lose the White House, they’ll do it from Congress. If they don’t have either one, they’ll use the Supreme Court.

If they don’t have either the White House, Congress or the Supreme Court, they’re screwed. Right?

Nope.

They just go on issuing them through circuit courts and the bureaucracy. State governments announce that they’re independent republics. Corporations begin threatening and suing the government.

There’s no consistent legal standard. Only a political one.

Under Obama, states weren’t allowed to enforce immigration laws. That was the job of the Federal government. And the states weren’t allowed to interfere with the job that the Feds weren’t doing.

Okay.

Now Trump comes into office and starts enforcing immigration laws again. And California announces it’s a sanctuary state and passes a law punishing businesses that cooperate with Federal immigration enforcement.

So what do we have here?

It’s illegal for states to enforce immigration law because that’s the province of the Federal government. But it’s legal for states to ban the Federal government from enforcing immigration law.

The only consistent pattern here is that the left decided to make it illegal to enforce immigration law.

It may do that sometimes under the guise of Federal power or states rights. But those are just fronts. The only consistent thing is that leftist policies are mandatory and opposing them is illegal.

Everything else is just a song and dance routine.

That’s how it works. It’s the moving dictatorship. It’s the tyranny of the network.

You can’t pin it down. There’s no one office or one guy. It’s a network of them. It’s an ideological dictatorship. Some people call it the deep state. But that doesn’t even begin to capture what it is.

To understand it, you have to think about things like the Cold War and Communist infiltration.

A better term than Deep State is Shadow Government.

Parts of the Shadow Government aren’t even in the government. They are wherever the left holds power. It can be in the non-profit sector and among major corporations. Power gets moved around like a New York City shell game. Where’s the quarter? Nope, it’s not there anymore.

The shadow government is an ideological network. These days it calls itself by a hashtag #Resistance. Under any name, it runs the country. Most of the time we don’t realize that. When things are normal, when there’s a Democrat in the White House or a bunch of Democrats in Congress, it’s business as usual.

Even with most Republican presidents, you didn’t notice anything too out of the ordinary. Sure, the Democrats got their way most of the time. But that’s how the game is usually played.

It’s only when someone came on the scene who didn’t play the game by the same rules, that the network exposed itself. The shadow government emerged out of hiding and came for Trump.

And that’s the civil war.

This is a war over who runs the country. Do the people who vote run the country or does this network that can lose an election, but still get its agenda through, run the country?

We’ve been having this fight for a while. But this century things have escalated.

They escalated a whole lot after Trump’s win because the network isn’t pretending anymore. It sees the opportunity to delegitimize the whole idea of elections.

Now the network isn’t running the country from cover. It’s actually out here trying to overturn the results of an election and remove the president from office.

It’s rejected the victories of two Republican presidents this century.

And if we don’t stand up and confront it, and expose it for what it is, it’s going to go on doing it in every election. And eventually Federal judges are going to gain enough power that they really will overturn elections.

It happens in other countries. If you think it can’t happen here, you haven’t been paying attention to the left.

Right now, Federal judges are declaring that President Trump isn’t allowed to govern because his Tweets show he’s a racist. How long until they say that a president isn’t even allowed to take office because they don’t like his views?

That’s where we’re headed.

Civil wars swing around a very basic question. The most basic question of them all. Who runs the country?

Is it me? Is it you? Is it Grandma? Or is it bunch of people who made running the government into their career?

America was founded on getting away from professional government. The British monarchy was a professional government. Like all professional governments, it was hereditary. Professional classes eventually decide to pass down their privileges to their kids.

America was different. We had a volunteer government. That’s what the Founding Fathers built.

This is a civil war between volunteer governments elected by the people and professional governments elected by… well… uh… themselves.

Of the establishment, by the establishment and for the establishment.

You know, the people who always say they know better, no matter how many times they screw up, because they’re the professionals. They’ve been in Washington D.C. politics since they were in diapers.

Freedom can only exist under a volunteer government. Because everyone is in charge. Power belongs to the people.

A professional government is going to have to stamp out freedom sooner or later. Freedom under a professional government can only be a fiction. Whenever the people disagree with the professionals, they’re going to have to get put down. That’s just how it is. No matter how it’s disguised, a professional government is tyranny.

Ours is really well disguised, but if it walks like a duck and locks you up like a duck, it’s a tyranny.

Now what’s the left.

Forget all the deep answers. The left is a professional government.

It’s whole idea is that everything needs to be controlled by a big central government to make society just. That means everything from your soda sizes to whether you can mow your lawn needs to be decided in Washington D.C.

Volunteer governments are unjust. Professional governments are fair. That’s the credo of the left.

Its network, the one we were just discussing, it takes over professional governments because it shares their basic ideas. Professional governments, no matter who runs them, are convinced that everything should run through the professionals. And the professionals are usually lefties. If they aren’t, they will be.

Just ask Mueller and establishment guys like him.

What infuriates professional government more than anything else? An amateur, someone like President Trump who didn’t spend his entire adult life practicing to be president, taking over the job.

President Trump is what volunteer government is all about.

When you’re a government professional, you’re invested in keeping the system going. But when you’re a volunteer, you can do all the things that the experts tell you can’t be done. You can look at the mess we’re in with fresh eyes and do the common sense things that President Trump is doing.

And common sense is the enemy of government professionals. It’s why Trump is such a threat.

A Republican government professional would be bad enough. But a Republican government volunteer does that thing you’re not supposed to do in government… think differently.

Professional government is a guild. Like medieval guilds. You can’t serve in if you’re not a member. If you haven’t been indoctrinated into its arcane rituals. If you aren’t in the club.

And Trump isn’t in the club. He brought in a bunch of people who aren’t in the club with him.

Now we’re seeing what the pros do when amateurs try to walk in on them. They spy on them, they investigate them and they send them to jail. They use the tools of power to bring them down.

That’s not a free country.

It’s not a free country when FBI agents who support Hillary take out an “insurance policy” against Trump winning the election. It’s not a free country when Obama officials engage in massive unmasking of the opposition. It’s not a free country when the media responds to the other guy winning by trying to ban the conservative media that supported him from social media. It’s not a free country when all of the above collude together to overturn an election because the guy who wasn’t supposed to win, won.

We’re in a civil war between conservative volunteer government and leftist professional government.

The pros have made it clear that they’re not going to accept election results anymore. They’re just going to make us do whatever they want. They’re in charge and we better do what they say.

That’s the war we’re in. And it’s important that we understand that.

Because this isn’t a shooting war yet. And I don’t want to see it become one.

And before the shooting starts, civil wars are fought with arguments. To win, you have to understand what the big picture argument is. It’s easy to get bogged down in arguments that don’t matter or won’t really change anything.

This is the argument that changes everything.

Do we have a government of the people and by the people? Or do we have a tyranny of the professionals?

The Democrats try to dress up this argument in leftist social justice babble. Those fights are worth having. But sometimes we need to pull back the curtain on what this is really about.

They’ve tried to rig the system. They’ve done it by gerrymandering, by changing the demographics of entire states through immigration, by abusing the judiciary and by a thousand different tricks.

But civil wars come down to an easy question. Who runs the country?

They’ve given us their answer and we need to give them our answer.

Both sides talk about taking back the country. But who are they taking it back for?

The left uses identity politics. It puts supposed representatives of entire identity groups up front. We’re taking the country back for women and for black people, and so on and so forth…

But nobody elected their representatives.

Identity groups don’t vote for leaders. All the black people in the country never voted to make Shaun King al Al Sharpton their representative. And women sure as hell didn’t vote for Hillary Clinton.

What we have in America is a representative government. A representative government makes freedom possible because it actually represents people, instead of representing ideas.

The left’s identity politics only represents ideas. Nobody gets to vote on them.

Instead the left puts out representatives from different identity politics groups, there’s your gay guy, there’s three women, there’s a black man, as fronts for their professional government system.

When they’re taking back the country, it’s always for professional government. It’s never for the people.

When conservatives fight to take back the country, it’s for the people. It’s for volunteer government the way that the Founding Fathers wanted it to be.

This is a civil war over whether the American people are going to govern themselves. Or are they going to be governed.

Are we going to have a government of the people, by the people and for the people… or are we going to have a government.

The kind of government that most countries have where a few special people decide what’s best for everyone.

We tried that kind of government under the British monarchy. And we had a revolution because we didn’t like it.

But that revolution was met with a counterrevolution by the left. The left wants a monarchy. It wants King Obama or Queen Oprah.

It wants to end government of the people, by the people and for the people. That’s what they’re fighting for. That’s what we’re fighting against. The stakes are as big as they’re ever going to get. Do elections matter anymore?

I live in the state of Ronald Reagan. I can go visit the Ronald Reagan Library any time I want to. But today California has one party elections. There are lots of elections and propositions. There’s all the theater of democracy, but none of the substance. Its political system is as free and open as the Soviet Union.

And that can be America.

The Trump years are going to decide if America survives. When his time in office is done, we’re either going to be California or a free nation once again.

The civil war is out in the open now and we need to fight the good fight. And we must fight to win.

From each according to his ability...to each according to his need. - Marx

He had a point.

To quote St. Luke (Acts 4:32-35)

"And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, and laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need."

Really. Who gives a damn what happened in Indochina a half-century ago? Who gives a damn about Indochina period? It's a shithole. The natives wanted it back. They got it. Good riddance.

Temper,temper,Mon Ami!

You frogs are a little testy when mention of the savage locals tossing you out gets mentioned,ain't ya?

No need. It was foreigners in the FFL that got tossed out,and the ONLY reason they got defeated is they were stabbed in the back by French communist politicians and their lapdog followers. NO army can win while getting stabbed in the back at home and not getting arms and ammunition resupplies because of communist dock workers on strike refusing to load the needed supplies aboard ships.

And from all reports the French officers heading up the FFL were first class officers.

And the reason,of course,you didn't have the regular French Army doing your fighting for you is they were too busy attending union meetings and humping each other to do any fighting.

France is owned and operated by about 100 families, and has been so since the Revolution.

The numbers may be different,but the same can be said for any country,even the communist countries. Or at least that was true traditionally. These days there are more families involed,and the ownership list is international. Which is an odd adjective to use for One World Globalist Overlords,but for the time being we are seem to agree to pretend we are all sovereign nations not owned and controlled by banking families.

The World Wars bankrupted both Empires.

Yes,but oddly enough,they seem to have enriched the international bankers even further while making "Nationalism" an evil,evil word. Odd how that happens,huh?

No. The reason the French lost Dien Bien Phu was bad tactical choices and an underestimation of the enemy's ability.

The French thought they were drawing Giap's forces into a "roach motel" situation, as they had done in a previous battle. They thought they were going to be able to resupply by air (sort of like the Germans at Stalingrad).

They didn't count on the Vietnamese using sheer human musclepower to get anti-aircraft guns up mountainsides, or literally tunnelling THROUGH mountains to place artillery in positions that they could not hit with counterbattery fire.

The French army was lost because the Vietnamese broke the air resupply chain.

Of all the things to become obsessed about, the Killing Fields and Pol Pot's education a century ago strikes me as bizarre, and darkly humorous.

Possibly because it's so close to the truth of then as well as the truth of today that it bites you on your ass.

None of us like to be called out and forced to face uncomfortable truths,regardless of who we are or where we are from.

YOUR uncomfortable truth of the day is that the social conditions of the French elites are the same today as they were early in the 20th century,and just like they gave traction and aid to the ideas and ideals of international communism,they are supporting radical Islam today. It's like the stupid SOB's don't have a on and off switch.

It is unfair to say France has been conquered because France never even bothered to fight the Muslim invasion. They just rolled over to show their tummies to prove they were submissive,and surrendered without a fight.

As long as people's minds are in thrall to money, and they don't plant their backyards with fruit trees and keep chickens of their own, it will be this way.

LOL. You still waiting for a Jewbilly to dismiss the debt on your Chrysler and mud hut - or you still making the payments?

Hoss, NINE percent of the French population is Arab. NINE percent. And only 7% is Muslim. There are plenty of Arab Christians, and North African Jews, who have migrated to France as well.

Contrast that with 13.5% of the American population being black, and 19% being Hispanic.

How many of the agony aunts talking about the loss of France, yadda yadda yadda have actually BEEN to France anytime recently? Or LIVED in France extensively? WORKED there? Have FAMILY there all the time?

Just me. And I am telling you that this idea that France is somehow farther along the path of societal decay and cultural dissolution, drowning in a sea of Muslims, is as cartoonish as VxH and his fears of Akhenaten, or Deckard's fear that the cops are going to bust in and kill his puppy, or that other guy's certitude that the Jooooooos are stealing his vital bodily fluids.

There is no realism in these discussions. It's amusing.

Truth is, there are problems everywhere, and France's and America's, and the whole Western world's, are similar.

Truth is, addressing reality from a position of hysterical fantasies, like some fat woman gasping with the vapors, is delusional. And to me, it's funny.

I figure that EVENTUALLY some folks will sober up and have a realistic, serious discussion of the problems, but the O MY GOD THE MUSLIMS ARE GONNA BURN DOWN THE EIFFEL TOWER TOMORROW!, when in truth they are 7% of the population of France, is heading in the wrong direction.

I know that men are gonna believe what they are gonna believe. I do try to use a combination of fact and humor to steer things towards a reasonable discussion, but even the most reasonable posters here end up going insane over nonsense. If I had anything better to do, I'd walk away, but I've just gotta think that SOMEBODY is picking up kernels of wisdom in what I write, and that maybe SOMEDAY it will be possible to have a frank, rational conversation about real world problems using real-world facts.

I do the same thing on a Christian website. Honestly, the God they believe in is an evil caricature. I keep waiting for reason. There's none.

And the Taliban really do saw off people's heads over their ridiculous god.

My humor wears thin. I need to go do something productive. Like pack for Algeria. If I don't get my head sawed off, I'll be back next week.

No. The reason the French lost Dien Bien Phu was bad tactical choices and an underestimation of the enemy's ability.

There is no denying a massive amount of arrogance was the one thing most noticable about French officers,but there was nothing gutless about them or the men they led.

The French army was lost because the Vietnamese broke the air resupply chain.

The basic reason they lost at Dien Bien Phu is they didn't get enough resupplies or replacements,and the US (specifically Senator LBJ,how's THAT for irony?) refused to allow US military aircraft to drop them re-supplies. When you run out of ammunition,water,and food,you quit fighting.

BTW,I took the trip up Highway 1 in late 68 or early 69 where the famous ambush of the FFL took place,and it was spooky as hell riding on that road between the steep hills with jungle vegetation on both sides for the enemy to hide in while shooting,leaving the troops in the convoy as sitting targets out in the open. They never had a chance.

What the HELL was that French officer thinking to agree to take that ride with no air cover and no relief force available? The only good news is that SOB got killed along with everyone else.

In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.

Apples and oranges. It is possible to live with black and His or Her Panic people in peace. It is NOT possible to live in peace with Muslims.

when in truth they are 7% of the population of France,..

And the only part of France's population that is willing to fight for what they believe in. Given that truth,they can and will win.

Whatever it was it certainly went out of its way to shove its shapely perversion in everyone's face -- Before its star got plucked anyhow and Egypt went back to Old School Polytheism again.

Their syncretic montoheism sure does look a lot like what the Papist hive cooked up though.

True Christianity doesn't need a priest perched atop the theocratic pyramid. No human intercessor required for the direct relationship between the individual and their creator. Puts the theocrats out of bidness.

Game Seti Match.

Yeah,I never understood the need for a "sky pilot" to start out with. After all,God is mystical,and a mystical being doesn't need a spokescritter to speak,judge,or punish for him. If there is a God and he did what the true believers say he did,he's perfectly capable to handling all that crap himself.

I think it has something to do with if the fact that if god was in your presence he would have to kill you because you are such a wretch.

Nah. Humans already did that to ourselves. Got ourselves a big bowl of eternal and infinite separation to get slowly smoked in.

Of all the things to become obsessed about, the Killing Fields and Pol Pot's education a century ago strikes me as bizarre, and darkly humorous

"The reason they were keeping her out there so long was that the next day was Sunday, and she would not be needed for work. Such a straw-blond, naive, uneducated slip of a girl! She had been imprisoned for some spool of thread.

What a dangerous thought you expressed there, little sister! They want to teach you a lesson for the rest of your life!

Fire, fire! We fought the war -- and we looked into the bonfires to see what kind of victory it would be. The wind wafted a glowing husk from the bonfire.

To that flame and to you, girl, I promise: the whole wide world will read about you.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956

All right, idiot! Come on in!

I also said that I am too Canadian to be elite.

You're too pretentiously disingenuous to be much of anything other than a Useful Idiot parrot.

Fortunately not all Canadians are idiots - for example:

The French are always willing to fight for what they believe in. And they're not willing to fight for what they don't believe in. In this, the Italians are similar.

Which explains French behavior in 1940, and Italian behavior before and after 1943.
