Subject: A Reply To My Email The Riots And Protests + Walker Commentary AndCall To Action

A veerry interesting reply from a friend of mine to the email I sent labeled "The Riots and Protests." His reply is something we all need to read and take to heart. I have copied it below. There is going to be a massive change in this country -- and not for the better -- if Biden wins. And even more pronounced if the Democrats win the Senate in addition to a Biden win.

I have broken my friend's reply into paragraphs for easier reading, but I have printed it exactly as he sent it, except that I have colorized and bolded the third paragraph, so that it will stand out.

"I'm labeling the events of this summer as The Revolution of 2020. It has been said, and I believe it, the mayhem that is currently being visited upon this country is being done so by the base of the "Democratic" Party.

We are faced with stark and unpleasant choices come this November. On the one hand we have Trump who Pre Covid has made significant progress turning back chunks of the Obama agenda. Come Covid however, his response has been mostly a failure. On the other hand we have a place holder(Joe Biden) and Madam X, and their revolutionary base.

In short, the choice this November is Trump or Black Lives Matter. It's that simple. I'm fully cognizant of Trump's negatives, but there's no principled middle ground here. It's him or burn the country down.

(I'd be curious about how your "moderate" Congressman distances himself from BLM)"

My friend is absolutely correct.

As my friend has also said before, Joe Biden, liberal as he is, is nothing but a placeholder for the Democrats. I believe, along with my friend and many others, that if Biden wins, he won't last over two years, if that long. Either his cognitive decline will drag him down and he will resign, or the Democrats will engineer the activation of the 25th Amendment and Biden will be pushed aside. Whoever Madam X turns out to be, she will be president. And any of the potential Madam X's are guaranteed to be considerably left of the already-left Biden.

We have all got to get off our duffs and do whatever we can to see that Trump wins and the Republicans retain the Senate. Voting in November won't be enough.

We have all got to actively work--

1. Make sure you and your family, and those we know who are reliable Republican voters, are registered--in South Carolina it is very easy to do. If you are not sure if you are registered (if you live in South Carolina), go to "SC Votes" online and check your status;

2. Solicit our relatives, friends and neighbors to vote Republican;

3. Make sure they do vote, even if we have to help them obtain absentee ballots;

4. Contribute to campaigns;

5. Put up yard signs, not only in our yards, but on public rights-of-way (I have been doing this for years--it takes but four or five hours to put up fifty or so signs if you survey your locations in advance -- and you don't have to do it all in one day. You can stretch this over three or four days if you wish).

6. Walk your neighborhood and distribute campaign literature on behalf of Republican candidates. This is very effective. (Always be friendly and polite. Don't let yourself be drawn into any arguments).

7. Make telephone calls from a list provided by your local Republican county executive committee or by Republican candidates.

8. You may wish to stand at a polling place on behalf of a candidate. In South Carolina, you can do this if you are 200 feet from the actual voting site. So in most places, you can be somewhere on the sidewalk in front of the building where the voting is taking place.

9. Give Republican voters rides to the polls.

10. Other activities as may be suggested by your local Republican candidates

This will be a new experience for many of us who have been content to exist in our own little bubbles, pay little attention to the news, maybe spend out time watching "America's Got Talent" and vote once every two (or perhaps four) years and leave it at that.

But if we don't get actively involved, and do at least some of the things outlined and numbered above, the far left is going to for sure take power in our country. They are fired up and the leftys of all stripes will be out voting for all Democrats. What the left plans to do is going to make Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" look very conservative.

I am not spinning hyperbole when I say that if Biden wins, and especially if the Democrats win the Senate (they are going to retain the House) the very national soul of this country is going to change --and not for the better. I guarantee none of us will like it, and we and our families will suffer. I am not nearly so worried about my wife and me as I am about my sons and my granddaughters. If the left wins this fall, they are going to pay a heavy price.

The Congressman to whom my friend is referring is the Democrat Congressman in South Carolina's First Congressional District (my part of Dorchester County is in the First Congressional District). Our area is changing, and he won the 2018 election by a very thin margin -- but still he won, after various Republicans had held the seat for 40 years. There is a major effort to win it back for Republicans, but it isn't going to be easy. Though the Democrat Congressman, Joe Cunningham, is very liberal, he has done a masterful (oops! does someone in the BLM movement object to that word?) job of portraying himself as a moderate. He doesn't jangle the nerves of the voters who are in the squishy middle, the slightly-right-of-center or nominal Republicans. So it looks to be a real fight for Republicans to regain the First Congressional House seat.

I haven't yet seen anything from Cunningham regarding BLM or the riots, but he did vote for the Democrat "Police Reform Bill" passed by the Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Let's now get ourselves ready for action. We really have no choice. We and our nation are on the edge of a cliff. We must push back.
