REAL AMERICA
WOULD A COUP MAKE THINGS BETTER?
Exclusive: Patrice Lewis says only solution is to 'divvy up our land mass into 2 nations'
It comes as no surprise that the federal government is fascinated – no, obsessed – with keeping tabs on anything and everything we do. Privacy no longer exists. Everything from media communications to the movement of our vehicles is recorded and stored in massive facilities such as the Utah Data Center. The government needs these data … you know, just in case.
And why would such massive data ever be needed? There is endless speculation, of course, but ultimately, just as not paying your taxes eventually leads to men with guns, it is to prevent a citizen uprising. In short, a coup. Like slave owners, our overseers are petrified that we will revolt. History has shown, over and over again, that a people can take oppression for only so long before they rise up in explosive anger. That is, after all, what the Declaration of Independence was all about.
Whether our politicians are willing to admit it or not, there’s a lot of growing resentment just waiting for the right spark to set it off.
Unsurprisingly, a recent YouGov survey revealed that 29 percent of Americans “could imagine” supporting a military coup against the government. I have a sneaking suspicion the number might be higher, but common-sense wariness may have prevented people from answering honestly.
What, precisely, is a coup? Properly called a coup d’état (the French would know!), Wikipedia defines it as a “sudden and (usually) illegal seizure of a state, usually instigated by a small group of the existing government establishment to depose the established regime and replace it with a new ruling body. A coup d’état is considered successful when the usurpers establish their dominance. If a coup fails, a civil war may ensue.”
I thought it interesting how the progressive Wikipedia specified coups are “illegal.”
It was that traitor to the British crown, Thomas Jefferson, who famously said, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” That’s as close to a political requirement as anything I’ve ever heard.
America itself is the blatant, unrepentant result of a military coup (hence Jefferson’s reminder). One thing to keep in mind about the Revolutionary War that often gets forgotten in the mists of time: Americans were not fighting against an oppressive and tyrannical foreign government.
They were fighting their own government. I have no doubt many Revolutionary War patriots were torn up inside because, although they opposed what their king was doing to them, they loved England, and they loved the English people. If they embarked on a revolution, they would be fighting their own countrymen.
Yet it worked. The brilliant Founding Fathers drafted a plan for a coup and followed through – and astoundingly, wondrously, providentially, it worked. The inception of America has been called a 5,000-year leap and a miracle.
But miracles, by definition, are not the norm. Consider these immortal words, stated by Daniel Webster in a Fourth of July speech in 1802:
We live under the only government that ever existed which was framed by the unrestrained and deliberate consultations of the people. Miracles do not cluster. That which has happened but once in 6,000 years cannot be expected to happen often. Such a government, once gone, might leave a void, to be filled, for ages, with revolution and tumult, riot and despotism.
Was Webster right? If a military coup happened now, could another miracle occur? Or would it result in “riot and despotism”?
A lot of people think a coup would act as a cleansing agent, removing the offending parts of American policy and allowing a rebirthed nation to rise up from the ashes, phoenix-like, as it was originally conceived. After a coup, some people speculate, we will get rid of the leeches and the political correctness and the unconstitutional restrictions, and only the good honest patriots will survive.
But shoving the genie of progressivism back into the bottle and hammering down the cork may not be possible.
This is because, as The Daily Sheeple so accurately pointed out, “[I]t’s safe to say that the American people are at least partly to blame for the sick institutions that rule over them. And if that’s the case, you have to ask yourself … what sort of system might our society produce in the future?”
In other words, a “cleansing” coup may not produce the desired results.
It’s a vanishingly rare thing in history for a revolution to produce something markedly better than the previous régime. Cuba was a revolution. France was a revolution. China was a revolution. Russia was a revolution. In all cases, the resulting reigns of terror and authoritarian takeover were violent, brutal and long-lasting.
The American Revolution worked because it had a few things in its favor:
- It was instigated by men of rare brilliance and insight;
- God was viewed as the chief architect and true king of the infant country;
- Individual states retained tremendous powers;
- The continent was still largely empty, allowing disaffected individuals (and whole communities) to escape governmental control, thereby requiring politicians to walk carefully.
The progressive agenda, which I firmly believe is poisoning our nation, is authored by people who – as violently as I disagree with almost everything they advocate and stand for – are every bit as American as I am. A coup with results that would please patriots would alienate progressives; and a coup with results that would please progressives would alienate patriots.
I am sincere when I say the only viable solution is to divide America. With due respect to the atrocities committed upon the Native Americans, we no longer have an empty continent where disgruntled individuals can flee when things become intolerable. But we can divvy up our land mass into two nations – one progressive, one conservative – where the ideals and agendas of each can be instigated to the satisfaction of two extremely diverse populations.
Miracles may not cluster, but God is still their architect. And we’ve already seen that He looks with favor on nations that turn to him. A new nation, “… conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal,” might just win His favorable attention once again.
