Let Yourself Hear

Most times a man will tell his bad intentions if you listen, let yourself hear.

– Charles Travis Postelwaite (Kevin Costner), from the movie "Open Range."

According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of Civil War is "a war between opposing groups of citizens of the same country." Whether people want to accept it or not, America is currently in a civil war – except, for now anyway, only one side is fighting.

Marxists have taken over the Democrat Party and are engaging in radical disinformation and outright violence with the goal of ousting President Trump and installing a more Marxist government in the U.S.

Yes, I know that some people roll their eyes and scoff at me calling the Democrats "Marxists," but the evidence is on my side. If you're still a Democrat because your pappy told you Democrats are for the "workin' man," then you should really look around and re-evaluate your values.

Today's Democrat party would be a party that JFK himself would be denouncing. Comrade AOC, whom DNC Chairman Tom Perez said "is the future" of the Democrat Party, and her fellow "squad" mates are proud Socialists and they are driving policy in the Democrat Party. Where does Socialist ideology come from? Karl Marx, hence, they're Marxists. Calling themselves "Socialists" is just trying to handle the turd by the clean end.

Patrisse Cullors is one of the co-founders of the radical Marxist group Black Lives Matter. Yes, Marxist. During an interview easily found on YouTube, Comrade Cullors described herself and her fellow BLM co-founders as "trained Marxists."

A few weeks ago, a person was shot in Bedford County. Armed citizens had turned out to protect the town from the mayhem we've witnessed in other places.

A family now living in Hollidaysburg couldn't resist going to Bedford to mingle with the crowd and pretend, in the ditsiest of voices, that they had no idea why people were gathered. One was wearing a BLM shirt and another was wearing a hoodie with the image of Karl Marx himself.

Antifa, according to the Anti-Defamation League, are mostly from "the anarchist movement or from the far left" which translates into ... Marxists.

So, yeah, these people are Marxists and they're not even trying to hide it anymore and they ARE driving policy and decisions in the Democrat Party. As I write this, we're well over 100 days of nightly rioting by supporters of Comrades Biden and Harris.

Just a few days ago, on the eve of Sept. 12, two Los Angeles sheriff's deputies were ambushed and shot as they sat in their car. Black Lives Matter "protesters" descended on the hospital where the deputies were being treated and chanted, "We hope they die!" Who does that? And who supports people who do that? The Democrat Party, that's who. Tell me again how Trump is dividing the nation?

If you're Democrat and you get your panties in a bunch over being called a Marxist, well, maybe it's time for some introspection.

If we take these Marxists and their partisans at their word, there's a storm coming in November, especially if Trump wins.

In a Trump-hating Washington Post commentary, the writer says that she and her colleagues engaged in election war-gaming of sorts and the only scenario that does not result in mass national violence is a landslide win for Comrade Biden.

A Bloomberg-funded group called Hawkfish has predicted that we'll see a "red mirage" on Election Day where Trump wins in what "appears to be a landslide" BUT, in the days and weeks to follow, the mail-in cheating ballots will be counted, and counted, and "found" and counted, and counted, and "found some more" and counted until Comrade Biden has finally received enough votes to win. Refer to the "election" of Al Franken to the U.S. Senate in 2008. They just kept "finding" ballots until Franken won by 312 votes.

Mass mail-in voting is a recipe for discontent and lack of confidence in the results. The Democrats know that, in fact, they're counting on it.

Comrade Hillary Clinton is encouraging Comrade Biden not to concede under any circumstances and to stay in it until he wins. What? Since when can you just stay in the political race until you win? Perhaps she knows something that the rest of us do not? BTW, isn't Comrade Hillary the one who was worried that Trump wouldn't accept the results of the 2016 election? Funny how now she's now encouraging Biden to do just that.

No matter how you look at it, Democrats are sowing the seeds of doubt and playing both sides against the middle. Mail-in voting is a recipe for cheating ... they're counting on it. Any inkling of cheating calls into question the results.

Mail-in votes being "found" and counted will likely result in legal challenges which will be painted as Trump trying to stop the count and disenfranchise voters. A Biden loss will bring cries of cheating but so will a Trump loss.

Democrats are hellbent on creating uncertainty and the resulting unrest and every time I hear one of them telling us what they are planning I think of that movie quote at the top of this column.

We probably ought to let ourselves hear, and be ready.
