Following the announcement of the verdict, Donald Jay Trump labeled the New York trial as a “scam” and “a rigged trial,” and proclaimed, “I’m willing to do whatever I have to do to save our country and to save our Constitution.”
Given Trump’s tenacity and determination, he will likely win this round. He may even succeed and become President again, but he cannot alter the trajectory of this nation—the course has already been set.
The reality is that America did not defeat communism; she adopted it. As Alexander Solzhenitsyn astutely observed, “For us in Russia, communism is a dead dog, while for many people in the West, it is a living lion.” Expelled from Russia, this dead dog acquired a new life in the United States and regained vitality to become a living lion within the Democratic Party. The Party has gained almost absolute dominance over the media, electoral process, federal law enforcement, and the judicial branch, and it’s infused the educational system with Marxist ideology.
Trump is a symbol of resistance and instills an inordinate fear in Democrats who aspire to socialism. Their concern is not so much that he can reverse the trend but that he will potentially impede the process and slow it down. The Democrats have gotten very close to imposing complete control over this nation politically, economically, and ideologically. This is their moment; they want socialism now.
The ideology gives the Democrats the necessary steadfastness and determination. It also gives them the right to repress others.
his acceptance speech for the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature, colorfully described the quintessential component of this new immoral order:
But let us not forget that violence does not live alone and is not capable of living alone: it is necessarily interwoven with falsehood. Between them lies the most intimate, the deepest of natural bonds. Violence finds its only refuge in falsehood, falsehood its only support in violence.
For the last twelve years, this nation has been bombarded with incessant lies, unsubstantiated allegations, manufactured evidence, and political cover-ups.
We have been told that our president was a Russian agent who colluded with Vladimir Putin to alter the outcome of the 2016 elections. Accusations were equated with prima facie evidence; denials were interpreted as cover-ups. Some elected officials who couldn’t even spell “impeachment” demanded one without any substantiation.
After the release of Robert Mueller’s report, we learned that the accusations were bogus, the evidence was a forgery, the investigators were corrupt, and the whole affair was “a phantasm.” Yet, nobody responsible for conducting politically motivated investigations and wasting millions of public funds faced legal consequences.
The current Trump trials are just the continuation of the same, though at a more elevated and cynical level.
Sixty years ago, in 1964, Ronald Reagan gave a speech on behalf of presidential candidate Barry Goldwater that would become known as “A Time for Choosing.”
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness.
Tragically, the children have diluted their liberty inheritance and become shamefully indifferent to good and evil. Indeed, Reagan’s ardent warning is coming to fruition. A blanket of tyranny and fanaticism is covering America.
