America's Far Left Future
toon by Ben Garrison (Cancel American Heritage)
If you are afraid or too blind to call the violent civil
chaos exploited by Antifa, Black Lives Matter, Dems, the MSM and other assorted
Marxist-oriented groups a coup, then get ready when the victims of violence
grow weary of the failure of protection AND RISE UP. Then the word “coup” will
be irrelevant as America’s Leftist race-baiters experience a cultural reprisal
that history will mark the current civil unrest as the beginnings of an
American Civil War.
Justin Smith examines Leftist historical revisionism trying
to cancel America’s heritage that made our nation an exceptional beacon on a
hill - until creeping Marxism began openly shoving open the door of
totalitarianism.

America: Gone With the Radical Wind
Destroying Every Last Vestige of American History -
None Are Spared
By Justin O. Smith

"Detest all those white
men if you will, but they were the ones who created the nation we inherited."
~ Pat Buchanan, June 15th 2020
America witnessed a fairly intense campaign to remove or destroy
statues memorializing revered and honored men of the Confederate States of
America in 2017, and in the wake of George Floyd's murder by a policeman in
Minneapolis, once again, America is seeing a broader range of destruction aimed
at any and all statues, monuments, and memorials honoring all those men of
impeccable character, who had some part in making America exceptional. Rioting,
looting and burning American cities are no longer enough, and in their
ignorance of historical fact, they peddle their revisionist history without
factual foundation, and they also seek to destroy every last vestige, right
down to the tiniest bit, of American history, even the movie 'Gone With the
Wind', while police and public officials stand down, and even encourage them.
The new word for "racist" is "white". If
one is white in America today, Her radical element views one as a racist, and
as such, every statue of any white person is a statue of a racist and is
subject to being vandalized and pulled down. Decades of propaganda that taught
blacks to continue to claim grievances against white people for the sins of
slavery that happened centuries ago have now shown their grim results, and it
is a dark day for all America.
Regardless of what part they played in America's founding,
or even if they were simply those early explorers to the New World, none are
now spared, from Christopher Columbus to Thomas Jefferson and Spanish
Conquistador Juan de Onate. It is no longer the Confederacy under attack. These
radical young turks desire the obliteration of Western principles in America
and a clean slate so they can recreate the nation as they believe it should
exist, casting aside history and all the outstanding achievements of so many,
along with those terrible deeds and the institutions of slavery and Jim Crow.
In Richmond, Virginia, the Capitol of the Confederate
States, a statue of Christopher Columbus was pulled down and thrown in nearby
Fountain Lake. This same scenario has played out over the past few years, as
America's radicals claim Columbus represents "genocide". The Antifa,
MLK and La Raza, Che Guevara commie types, forcefully assert that Columbus's
discovery brought the European invasion of the indigenous Native Indian tribal
lands, something that the entire United States has been experiencing from
Mexico, Africa and the Middle East since 1965.
All the nations of the globe have suffered an invasion of
some sort at one time or another in their history. Why should the arrival of
Europeans to the New World be seen as such a horrible historical event, when
such an Exceptional Country was birthed from it? These anti-American detractors
are pure evil and solely interested in destroying a country and a system that
gave rise to freedom for more people than any other system or nation in the
entire history of all mankind.
Some of our young turks refer to Columbus as "another
notorious figure in the history of slavery", even though 1492 far preceded
the black Kingdom of Dahomey++ that created the black slave trade and
the days that such a labor force was needed in the colonies. However, facts are
irrelevant to these madding masses, and their "truth" is anything
they pull from their nether regions that is emotionally satisfying.
++[Interesting Dahomey history:

World Encyclopedia standards;

So ignorant are they, it is surreal. Do they truly not know
Columbus was merely searching for a new trade route to India, China and the
Spice Islands?
The radicals in the streets and their hand-holders in
Congress are now also going after all U.S. military bases named after
Confederate generals
In continuing, please understand that nothing herein is an
attempt, in any way, shape or form to justify the reprehensible and despicable
evil of slavery or Jim Crow laws that were an inherent part of our heritage for
much too long. It should have ended long before it did, but it shouldn't have
required a civil war and all that followed to see that black people were
granted full rights as human beings from the very start.
The second week of rioting across America was coming to a
close, when the radical Antifa and Black Lives Matter groups pulled down the
statue of Thomas Jefferson, in Portland, Oregon on June 14th. They also defaced
its base with vile graffiti and slogans.
Even though Thomas Jefferson owned many slaves, the times
were such that any move to free the slaves shortly after our War for
Independence would have virtually assured that the original thirteen colonies
never would have joined in common cause in a "Union" of the states to
form the United States of America. The "three-fifths" clause counting slaves as three
fifths of a person for representation purposes was a compromise,
one founded in the evil that would not easily relinquish its hold on those
early day Americans. [See Also: Three-fifths Compromise; By Hans L. Eicholz; Center for the Study of Federalism;
Last updated 2006]
Jefferson, the man who wrote the Declaration of
Independence, noting "that all men are created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights", was also a fine
common sense analyst of the complexities of the times. Regarding the
incongruity between the words of the Declaration and the fact of slavery
enshrined in the Constitution, in 1820, he would later write: "But, as it
is, we have the wolf by the ear, and we can neither hold him, nor safely let
him go. Justice is in one scale, and self-preservation in the other."
Confederate statues have also recently been damaged and
toppled in Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee, while
Virginia has had the Richmond Howitzers Monument vandalized and the statue of
Confederate leader Williams Carter Wickham toppled. The out-of-control lawless
groups, in Richmond, even toppled the monument of Confederate President
Jefferson Davis on June 10th, 113 years to the date of its dedication on June
3rd 1907.
Rioters in Portsmouth, Virginia beheaded four Confederate
statues that encircle their Confederate monument on June 10th, without any
regard for the law. They acted pre-emptively, because they were angry over
Portsmouth's City Council's decision to delay moving the monument.
The radicals are apoplectic over Jefferson Davis who was the
President of the Confederate States of America for approximately four years of
a life well lived. Most of his life was spent in the service of the United
States of America, as a military officer, a U.S. Senator and as the U.S.
Secretary of War. During his military career, he fought in the Mexican-American
War, leading a successful charge against Fort La Teneria in the Battle of
Monterrey. Davis was also U.S. President Zachary Taylor's son-in-law and he
argued against secession. The statue of Davis was erected for good reasons.
Ironically, while Speaker Nancy Pelosi calls for the removal
of 11 Confederate statues in the Capitol, her own father, Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr. dedicated monuments to two
Confederate generals, Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee, in 1948,
when he was Baltimore's mayor. D'Alesandro suggested that people should be
inspired by these men and should "emulate Jackson's example and stand like
a stone wall against aggression in any form that would seek to destroy the
liberty of the world."
Congressional Democrats are now also wailing and screaming
for all military installations and ships bearing the names of Confederate
generals, such as Bragg, Benning, and Hood, to be renamed. Initially, President
Trump insisted he would not even begin to consider such a move, since very
often these places were the last places seen by those fighting men who were
sent to Europe, Asia and the Middle East, over the decades, and in the words of
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, "to suggest these forts were
somehow inherently racist and their names need to be changed is a complete
disrespect to the men and women."
Unfortunately, President Trump is now revisiting the matter,
as if he might be open to renaming them. This developed shortly after the
Senate Armed Services Committee approved Senator Elizabeth Warren's (D-Mass)
amendment to the annual military spending bill -- by a voice vote -- that
would require the Defense Department to change the names of all installations
and assets named for Confederate leaders. And incredibly, some GOP Senators,
such a John Kennedy of Louisiana, are standing ready to help push this
anti-American rename agenda.
As Pat Buchanan, noted author and former consultant to
President Nixon, Ford and Reagan, recently observed: "Liberals
will fight for the right of Marxist radicals to burn the American flag to show
their hatred of it but cannot tolerate working folks flying the battle flag of
the Confederacy to show their love of it."
On June 10th, HBO Max announced it was removing 'Gone With
the Wind' from its movie library. This 1939 movie, one of the best all-around
stories one might ever watch on the Big Screen, or one's 13" television,
is based on a bestselling novel that romanticized the Civil War. HBO has stated
it could bring the movie back, after some discussion of its historical context
and importance.
In part, the Democratic Party's goal is to once again hijack
the narrative by presenting a one-sided view of American history that is now
ascendant, as the nation's official "truth", something they are
challenged to deliver in reality. They want all Americans to see the South's
secession from the Union as an act of treason based in an ideology of white
supremacy.
Far from the revisionist historical idiocy peddled by the
anti-American media and their communist ilk in Antifa and Black Lives Matter,
the Civil War was the result of irreconcilable differences over states' rights,
economic policies, slavery and a long litany of other complex issues, and the
resulting defeat of the Confederacy was a crucial turning point in U.S. history.
And even General David Petraeus has succumbed to the same brand of idiocy,
accusing General Robert E. Lee of treason, without regard to the fact that it
was Lincoln who violated the U.S. Constitution by invading sovereign states who
freely joined the Union and had the inalienable right to freely leave the Union;
any treason was committed by Lincoln to force the Union upon the Secessionist
states, regardless of Lincoln's noble or ignoble intent.
These ignorant revisionists shouting "racism" fail
to understand that in the days of the Civil War, the general view was one's
home state was one's country. The U.S. Constitution gave governing power to the
sovereign states, and anything not specifically granted to the federal
government by the Constitution fell under the auspices of the states. All of
this changed after Lincoln's war, and largely independent states became vassals
of Washington, D.C.
General Robert E. Lee, a graduate of West
Point, spent a lifetime fighting wars for the United States, against the
frontier Indians and the Mexicans, as a Union officer. Lee had no plantation,
or 200 slaves as falsely asserted by some graduates of the public
"fool" system, who simply wish to defame the Good General. And he was
so highly regarded that Lincoln first offered him a Union command, when the
Civil War appeared to be inevitable; but, Lee was a Virginian and so he refused
to lead an army to invade his country, his home, to ensure his fellow
Virginians were not force-marched back into the Union they had just voted to
leave, as was their right as a free people.
Lee simply fought for Independence, the same as George
Washington, who owned slaves his entire life. That shouldn't disqualify Lee
from the company of decent men.
Far too many Americans, including some Republicans, in their
rush to jump aboard the Purge America wagon, seem to forget our Declaration of
Independence set America's course and enabled Her to become this exceptional
country that has created more liberty for more people worldwide in the entire history
of all mankind. The Constitution carried the mechanisms that eventually moved
America to free Her black people from slavery and end Jim Crow laws. And,
although our nation and culture would fight and endeavor over the centuries to
rise to meet its creeds, inherent within our founding document was equality for
slaves, the poor, our indigenous Native American Indians, women and the UnBorn
Children. Our Founders had a dream that one day all Americans would live free
and equal, regardless of race, or creed or the color of one's skin, a dream
that Dr Martin Luther King Jr. would echo on August 28th 1963.
On May 8th 2017, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
told Fox News: "I am a firm believer in 'keep your history before you' ...
Confederate heroes should be viewed in the context of their time instead of
through the prism of modern values."
But all of this is smoke and mirrors utilized effectively by
the Democrats and their evil cronies, their Brown Shirts in the streets. The
Declaration of Independence and the fine oration of Dr. King do not mean a damn
thing to this new breed of American. [The new breed Communists] haven't any
real answers other than to cry for America's downfall and hope something better
rises from the chaos and the ashes.
America could destroy every Confederate monument, and rename
all 109 public schools carrying the name of Lee, Davis or some other
Confederate icon to the Martin Luther King Jr. or the W.E.B. Du Bois Middle
School, and that would still not satisfy the left, especially the Black Caucus
and some black and Hispanic communities across America. They would continue
this cultural cleansing aimed at white society. Behind their remorseless drive
against white culture is an egalitarian extremism rooted in hate and envy.
Constitutional conservative-minded Americans -- All
Americans who love this country -- must stop the recently accelerated movement
to erase America's heritage in its entirety, because it is a tool used by the
racists of the regressive Democratic Party and the Black Caucus and their
foot-soldiers in Antifa and BLM to gain more power and destroy our
constitutional republic. Their campaign, as always, uses "white
supremacy" as the excuse to attack the Western and Judeo-Christian
principles that built America.
And, as we ask again, where will this all end, most of
us already know that it doesn't end, until the radicals have destroyed us, or
the good and decent Americans have stopped them.
In their zeal to create a sanitized fantasy world, where
every bad thing to ever happen in America's history is "Whitey's"
fault, the Democratic Party and their radicals in Antifa and Black Lives Matter
and the anarchists and nihilists, in general, are destroying American and black
history and eliminating anyone, and anything, they deem "racist" from
the public square and the annals of history. The radicals are racing full steam
ahead to destroy Western civilization and America's founding, in order that
they may seize the reins of power and create their hellish vision of an
authoritarian socialist regime in America.
