Beyond the point of no repair
Columnist and historian Victor Davis Hanson has asked a very good question:
“What does a people do when its highest officials simply renounce their oaths of office and refuse to enforce laws that they don’t like?” (https://amgreatness.com/2023/03/05/life-among-the-ruins/).
These officials, he says–and I agree–are ruining our country. They’re turning our cities into dirty, crime-ridden hellholes; and once the damage is irreparable, they’ll get to work on the suburbs.
It’s more than just refusing to enforce laws that they don’t like. It’s even more than crooked DAs refusing to prosecute crime and seeing to it that criminals are released back onto the streets as soon as possible. Our highest officials promote, enable, and strengthen groups and activities that do real harm. It’s like they really hate America and are doing their level best to destroy it–or at least turn it into something unrecognizable to sane people who remember better times.
Are there really, truly accredited doctors who sincerely believe that boys can–and should be!–turned into girls, and girls into boys? Are there really, truly high officials who sincerely believe that our nation’s borders can–and should be!–erased?
And so on, and so on.
The question won’t go away. “What do a people do” when this level of misgovernment is done to them?
I believe Thomas Jefferson had the answer to that question. You’ll find it in the Declaration of Independence.
