Principle I
Principle II
Principle III
An order to deploy which lacks or frustrates intent to compel a target to sign a Declaration of Unconditional Surrender is an unlawful order by the Rules of Just War, the Conventions of War, Common Sense, and the Spirit of America.
Scimus autem quoniam diligentibus Deum omnia cooperantur in bonum, iis qui secundum propositum vocati sunt sancti. And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.
The Mother’s Rule is this:
What you talk about, do.
What you cannot do, do not talk about.

So many articles are being written on the Right about what someone should do, must do, had better hurry it up and do already, knowing full well that this is not going to happen and that these articles are a waste of space and time and effort. I realize these people have to write something to stay relevant and make a living, but none of this is the least bit helpful. We are so past all this emoting and handwringing and gratuitous advice dispensing. And yet we keep right on doing it. This is why we’re losing. We talk too much and do too little. And sadly, desperately cling to the rituals of the past that no longer have any meaning or efficacy.

When I was on the executive committee of my local Tea Party (one of the longest lasting in the US), you weren’t permitted to say “You know what we should do…” unless you were personally going to organize and execute whatever it was. We have 250 members and there was never any shortage of ideas.

Wonderful! That would have been very refreshing for all involved. That is what used to be called, among other auspicious names, Americanism. Years ago I learned an aphorism which encapsulates this virtue: What you talk about, do. What you cannot do, do not talk about. In practice, this virtue is very powerful.

Your Deep State is unelected, unaccountable and practically untouchable. I think very few people have a clue on the “how to get changes desparately needed” part. the US Congress ? SCOTUS??
Everyone saw what the Deep State did to Trump… Who is going to stand up to them next ?
All major American public institutions are deeply corrupt and thoroughly compromised.
The number of DC “elites” who are directly controlled by the Deep State would leave you speechless. Does anyone think that a character like Eric Swallowchineseshitwell is a one off ? Did anyone pause to think why the FBI hid Hunter Biden’s laptop until it couldn’t be hidden any more?
The number of compromised politicians and how the Deep State leverages such material to keep them under control would be a great story to investigate if you had a genuine media. Your media itself is so completely corrupt that it would make the editors of PRAVDA blush.
Nothing less than a bloody revolution is needed…but we all know this is a non starter for most conservatives.
America’s decline continues apace.
David R. Graham to NaSa
When do you start your “bloody revolution?” Do let us know. Or, you know, keep posting like nonsense and collecting IC checks for suborning crime.

Well said, and true. Most of the commenters here illustrate your point, many like penguins dancing on an ice floe, hoping to induce their brethren to plunge into the water they all know hides seals lurking below. Anyone writing smack here, nasty death or destiny for this person or that, is likely LEO hoping to incite actionable language, or, a bilious blowhard wasting time. Then the mass of fantasy, yet, worse than women, and wholly impotent.
The old rituals, “Right” and “Conservative,” serve as well as nails rusted to dust. US sovereignty and corresponding strategic interests are the focus of statecraft. These are way beyond the interests and competency of most commenters here as well as most “Conservatives” and “persons on the Right” anywhere, especially D-R UniPartiers. That’s a problem: masses babbling in ignorance and elites dabbling in tyranny.
To my fellow Americans: you can’t do anything about the elites, but you can do something about your ignorance. You can replace it with God.
When you fill your hearts with love, you have no ill-will towards anyone. Cultivate the faith that the Divine is in everyone. Surrender to the Divine in a spirit of dedication. The symbolic meaning in the relations between Krishna and the Gopikas is this: The heart is the Brindavan (in each person). One’s thoughts are like the Gopikas. The Atma is Krishna. Bliss is the sport of Krishna. Everyone must convert his heart into a Brindavan and consider the indwelling Atma as Krishna. Every action should be regarded as a Leela of Krishna. Gokulashtami is celebrated by offering to Krishna Paramannam (rice cooked with jaggery). The real meaning of Paramannam is Annam (food) relating to Param (Supreme). Paramannam is sweet. Your love must be sweet. What you offer to God must be your sweet love. Your love must be all-embracing. This is the foremost message of the Krishnavatar.
