The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

The Democrat party has been fabulously successful at the politics of division, the politics of anger and resentment, and the politics of pressure groups. So successful in fact that they have unleashed forces in America that had been kept in check by the rule of law, the rule of propriety, the various churches and a host of other social counterbalances to savagery.

But those tears in the social fabric are not so easily repaired, and not so easily prevented from propagating wildly (unintended consequences for the win!) through previously calm and complacent and compliant groups. Like Orthodox Jews. Because there are reports of them carrying long guns in public in Rockland County. And that is a behavior that is a direct result of those tears in the social fabric that have paid such large dividends in the short term for the Democrat Party, but may endanger the long-term viability of their message.

Those Hasidim are the children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Holocaust survivors, and they know all too well what happens next. But this is America, with its curious and glorious attachment to freedom and liberty, and a 2nd Amendment that protects our right to fight for those things, so I am heartened that my coreligionists are taking matters into their own hands.

I will be contacting my local Orthodox organization and offering whatever assistance they might need. Perhaps it is time for conservative America to begin to organize on a large scale to counter the violent Left? As we are so fond of pointing out...we have most of the guns and ammo! A few thousand people -- Jews and Christians -- protecting our synagogues and churches would go a long way, and would send a clear and unambiguous message that the status quo of Leftist violence and conservative inaction is no longer acceptable.
