Insurrection in the making

When the riots started, I thought they would eventually fizzle out — the leaders would be arrested, and the rest would get bored.

I was wrong, because these aren’t riots. What we are witnessing is an orchestrated insurrection. Ordinary citizens are held hostage by COVID-19 dictates while domestic terrorists are allowed — even encouraged — to run free. Democrats rub their hands together in glee while Republicans sit silently, and the good people of this country watch, depending on their level of awareness, in either confusion or horror as the United States begins its decline to oblivion.

Whether Khruschev’s quote was real or not, it turned out to be true that with small doses of socialism our nation would eventually fall like an over-ripe fruit.
