"Around 25,000 cheering Bronx citizens attended a Trump rally, and it shocked Democrats, after all, this is New York, this can't be happening! The governor of New York called them "a bunch of clowns", and the media insisted it doesn't mean anything."

As my regular readers know I'm a real fan of American Thinker, which I consider one of the very best news sites in the nation. On May 25th Monica Showalter, one of my favorite writers, posted this piece, What the Bronx voters who've flipped to Trump are saying, quoting one of the attendees:
Jerry Evans, a registered Democrat in New York City, had never attended a political rally before Thursday. But speaking with Newsweek at Donald Trump's campaign event in the South Bronx, Evans said that he turned out to show support for the former president because he feels "very strongly about how the border's going."...... "You know, I said, why is Biden giving them the red carpet treatment?"...... "He's giving them everything—giving them housing, giving them shelter, giving them money, cash—and people who live here can't get that."
She went on to ask:
How many thousands of them in that 25,000 crowd are thinking the same thing?
No matter how many are thinking along those lines, here's what we need to ask. Is this enlightenment permanent? Answer? No, it isn't! This is just an “it's my ox that's bring gored” reaction. If their ox wasn’t being gored they’d be just fine with Biden and all the corruption, insanity and treason being promoted by the left, it's part and parcel of their culture. Make no mistake, both the masses and the rulers are a fickle and self serving lot, and to the point of being dangerous.
On September 5, 1651 Oliver Cromwell's forces defeated the forces of Charles II. Later as they were marching into London the crowds cheered vigorously, and one of his followers was enthralled with the cheering. Cromwell put a reality damper on that saying:
“Do not trust to the cheering, for those very persons would shout as much if you and I were going to be hanged.”
They're shocked that academia is a cultural, intellectual, and morally corrupt mephitic ooze of inbreeding, being led by grossly overpaid, blatantly incompetent DEI racists, and leftist/Marxist/anti-American ideologues, many of whom are now being exposed as plagiarists. A ethically, intellectually and morally deficient cabal who have been turning out graduates who can't read, write, or have a working knowledge of history, geography, or how and why America is unique in all of world history. They're not even competent in their fields of study. And that it's been going on for decades.
So, don't let the cheering fool you. People without a solid moral foundation have meandering values that allow them to rationalize their acts of self interest and corruption. Cromwell defeated a corrupt King in 1651, and then had to dissolve Parliament in 1653 for becoming corrupt for their own ends. When dissolving Parliament Oliver Cromwell made a statement that's totally applicable to our modern day state of corruption:
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice. Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government. Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.
Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.
I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place. Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. In the name of God, go!
Two questions that need to be asked and answering:
- Does Cromwell's vile description of that Parliament then a fit description of the political figures sitting in positions of power and authority today?
- If so; do really think term limits are bad?
Here are three quotes of my own I think are appropriate for this or any other discussion in order to define reality.
- The patterns of life repeat over and over again.
- Life is about patterns and circles. Patterns of behavior and the social circles that create that behavior.
- History, reality, time and truth are on the same side.
- Truth isn't unkind. It's just the truth.
- People will always be people.
- Corruption is the offspring of power, and if that power goes unchecked, then the true child of power emerges: Tyranny!
