Traitors to the core

"The modern day traitors know there is a way they can legitimately change our form of government. It is spelled out in the Constitution. They also know it will be a bridge too far for them." 

I am watching Gettysburg on Amazon right now. Interesting movie, as it is long (over 4 hours), and factual at the same time. It focuses in on the Confederate Army as well as the Union Army. The troops, the generals, the strategies. Fascinating to watch.

Today, we have young heathens who are trying to topple statues of Confederate heroes. They were heroes to the south, but with the new cancel culture, they were only racists and traitors. Why were they racists? They owned slaves. And why did they own slaves? It was the culture back then. It was a generational thing in the south which appeared to be "normal".

Of course, the north did not see it that way. To many in the north, the idea of "owning" another human being was repugnant. So much so, that the nation split in two over this issue, and our bloodiest war was fought. We fought against each other. State against state, sometimes brother against brother. In the end, the north prevailed. But to this day, one can still see Confederate flags flown down south.

Who were the traitors, and who were the patriots? I guess it all depended on where you were born. If you were born in Alabama, you probably believed in the cause of the Confederates. If you were born in Maine, you probably believed in the cause of the Union. Once the war was over, President Lincoln knew to save the union as it once was, a great reconciliation needed to take place. Once the slaves were freed, it was time for the re-building of structures as well as our national trust.

Today in our new cold civil war, we have a much different struggle. It is for the form of government we will be living under going forward. Our current structure, which our founding documents painted and memorialized in our founding documents, was for a representative democracy. The new traitors, want nothing to do with that form of government. They want the old torn down and shredded, and replaced with something antithetical to our culture. Rather than a strong tide lifting all ships, they just want to loot the ships, and then burn them. That is the way tyranny, socialism, and communism works.

The modern day traitors also know there is a way they can legitimately change our form of government. It is spelled out in the Constitution. They also know it will be a bridge too far for them. It will only exist in the land of "never happen". Then what does that leave for them? Rather than tying to work within the system like citizens would, they are taking the path of anarchists instead. Traitors to the core. 

During the Civil War, many soldiers in the Confederate Army got branded as traitors just because of what part of the country they were born in. Today's traitors however, are from all over. They are traitors because of choice. They own their behavior 100%. In many countries, traitors are just taken out back and shot. We don't do that. Maybe we should.

The country paid a huge cost during the Civil War, from both death and destruction. But the country did heal, and we went on to become a more perfect union. With today's traitors however, there will be no reconciliation. They are a cancer in our country. They need to be purged. They are traitors to the core.
