Unity at the Trigger

The word "Regeneracy" refers to the regeneracy of civic unity. It can't just be some random political event and, indeed, there are many substantial political events that don't regenerate civic unity, or which even generate further political divisiveness, the opposite of civic unity. The death of Ge...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

This "Regeneracy Event" is going to have political consequences. It will be necessary to find a way, within the Constitution, to find a way to replace Biden with someone competent. By the S&H definition it is called the trigger event. I have them as the death of George Floyd and Covid hitting Ameri...

Re: Fascism, Communism and Republicans

Although without the niceties some would prefer, John has demonstrated through evidence and logical deduction who the perpetrators of Stalinist policies in the USA are. Although he blames the DNC, they both are and are not guilty. Guilty because it's their party. Not guilty because it's a nefarious...

Fascism, Communism and Republicans

When liberalism devolves into either something like fascism or communism, we in the free world have seen the effects. We are now again in such an existential crisis. John has documented quite accurately the condition. Yes, he's somewhat excessive with criticism. He should take his emotions before t...

Bigotry and Blame

Old partisans never change is correct. Describes the Bish quite well. Liberalism has failed the people and they know it. Sadly the alternative will be worse. But the closed minded bigotry of the left is showing to be the cause. You will carry the blame in history for what will soon transpire. If so...

Values Lock

. I could debunk the whole post from which this was taken, but it seems more prudent to note how a partisan descriptor of something can be truthful while twisting the meaning of the event entirely. Until / unless you add logical reasoning to whatever your present skill set is, you aren't capable of...

Re: Polyticks: Bob Butler's Perspective

Nobody was killed on January 6 except Ashli Babbitt, a pretty young girl, a Trump supporter, just walking through the Capitol building. I suppose the Battle of Britain could be described as a bunch of handsome blue eyed blonds seeing the sights of London, treated rudely by the natives. I could debu...

A New Birth of Freedom

What are the feelings of the readers about how close we are to something more life changing than the pandemic? We've had what could be seen as multiple massive events in a short period of time. We're at the end of the era and it's not here yet but really, we can feel it now and it's a part of our d...

Not an unraveling

Please give your estimation on the speed of the unravelling because it's uncomfortably quick now. Not an unravelling. While the generations went into a crisis configuration a decade ago, the triggers of Covid and George Floyd’s death came only recently. From there we are into the crisis heart. With...

Betrayal?

Meanwhile, if you want to see an “Afghanistan betrayal,” the war itself was a betrayal of the American people, on multiple levels. It was presented to us as an adequate response to 9/11, while our government continued to coddle the actual perpetrators (Saudi Arabia and its al-Qaeda proxies). Meanwh...
