I never mentioned the bible as a prosecutor. Not once in over 300 jury trials. I felt it was too corny. But maybe the time has come to overcome that sentiment. There's a passage in the New Testament that goes something like this: "All sins are forgivable...except sins against the Holy Ghost." I never knew what the hell that meant....but I now think I can guess. Sins of weakness, sins of the flesh are readily forgivable. But denying the truth, telling deliberate lies to gain advantage---this is not forgivable. Democrats are telling voters the country can run without police protection, monies for street, bridge, park, library and school maintenance could be diverted to DEI training without a diminishment in the quality of community life, our military academies will be better off deleting words such as "Honor" and "Country" from their pledges and loyalty to the Constitution is a "fetish"...

They know these pronouncements are untrue.... but they persist in making them for the simple reason they're attracting every fringe element in the country to their cause. In other words they are following the old Machiavellian formula, "unite the weak and the gullible against the strong by appealing to their weakness & gullibility." It may work...but I'm pretty sure it [and what it will lead to] qualifies as an unforgivable sin.

As crazy as it seems, the only thing that makes sense to me is that Democrats are enacting the Cloward-Pivens strategy to intentionally create social chaos to rebuild their progressive nirvana out of the ruins. It seems crazy but there’s so many crazy policies their pushing it seems like the only unifying explanation.

It’s hard to think of a historical precedent of a government letting outsiders infringe on their monopoly on violence. Even kings, dictators, and other totalitarians had a redline against others perpetuating violence on their subjects. In the case of Democrats, they’re all-in on outsiders (illegal immigrants) perpetuating violence against citizens, Democrats and Republicans. I guess there’s a short term political advantage in it but it seems like the long term negatives to our social order would outweigh them and be obvious.
