Where is Jeb Bush When We Need Him?

10/2/2023

Mainstream Republicans have not learned anything. They are incapable of change because so far their phony act has brought them power, perks, and pelf. They have posed as the conservative alternative while giving no thought to doing anything if they win.

They have not grasped why Donald Trump laid low a whole dozen of their groomed empty suit preferences. They are now presenting for President another dozen of the exact same type.

I am getting their slick propaganda regularly now. It has one theme---attacking Donald Trump. The message is Trump will lose the election to Biden. We cannot allow that to happen! There is not the least word about what program or policy is to be followed or what marvelous candidate is to replace him.

This has been the standard play of mainstream Republicans for several decades now. We must rally around and defeat the evil Democrats. What exactly they are to do when they win is never discussed.

This is not politics---it is advertising.

You have to give it to the leftists. Many of them actually believe what they say. This is never true of Republicans. They get talking points from the party headquarters for the campaigns advertising their candidacy. Then they pose and posture for the (hostile) press.

From its very inception almost two centuries ago, the Republican party has been the single greatest obstacle to genuine government of, by, and for the people.

Dr. Wilson, I recently came across a book(or non book) by that fraud Bill O Reilly titled Killing the Witches. Will you take a look and possibly give a review?

Dr. Wilson, I have no intention of a reading a book written by a man who likened the confederacy to nazi germany.

It does not need to be a nice review . . . O'Reilly also claims Buchanan to be worst president in American history because "he did nothing to stop secession." Buchanan should be applauded for supporting a constitutional convention of the States to settle the problems or break into separate federations as was done. He allegedly sent a private note to Lincoln encouraging this.

I long ago decided not to reply to every atrocity committed against us. They are endless and we don't have the resources. Such things are soon forgotten. Our proper strategy is to make positive material on our side. And I don't understand why people are always asking a slow-moving 82-year-old codger to read and respond to a book they won't read. It happens almost every week.

Here's the irony: Without the Puritans in the English parliament in the 17th century and the Puritans in the American North during the 1760s'-1775, there would have been no republicanism on these shores (yes, I know Jamestown was first). I just find it interesting that some people on our side detest the Puritans, but without them they would have High Church and monarchy-not the republicanism the praise...on top of that irony, I have my own irony. I praise the Puritans defending English and then American republicanism, yet I do admit their descendants will be the apostates pushing for anti-republicanism and the monarchy by president. Even so to this this day. We are left in a puzzle. You detest the Puritans, but they are the defenders and pushers of republicanism, not the Cavaliers. I praise them, yet their apostate descendants brought us Lincoln, Bushes, Clintons, etc. and the American authoritarian state....so what gives? We can neither totally cut off ourselves from these Puritans, but neither can we wholly keep them? They are a paradox. What do we do with them? Can the smartest 82-year-old man I know answer that paradox?

You describe a real and important dilemma. All I can say is that Confederates unanimously considered their enemies to be driven by Puritanism---phony righteousness covering greed. I don't think George Washington or Thomas Jefferson owed anything to the Puritans in creating American republicanism. Republicanism was a product of freedom in a new land and remoteness from Europe. Unlike some, I do not think that a Calvinist revival will help save the South.

Thank you so much, Dr. Wilson, for your reply to my question. I do agree with you what you said about George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. American republicanism was/is very unique. In that context, Washington and Jefferson did not owe a servitude of debt to the Puritans. I also agree with you about a Calvinist revival saving the South. I, too, don't think it will save the South, let alone any even possess a heartfelt religious revival...Most Americans are hell-bent on authoritarianism-the MAGA crowd and the Antifa crowd. For years, I have warned the religious right, which I am a part of, to NOT give unconstitutional powers to government officials. The religious right views imbeciles like George W. Bush, Jeb Bush, and Ronald Reagan, etc. as modern-day King Davids and Hezekiahs. They are fools. Surrendering their freedoms like slaves. A Calvinist revival is pointless unless power is greatly distributed as our forefathers tried to do and fought for so long ago. The greatest generation was NOT the World War Two veterans who sold us out to the Commies and gave birth to the 1960's rugrats. The greatest generation was our Confederate ancestors. That's the only American dream I believe in. Sadly, the commies have won and the populace has embraced at the least, authoritarianism, and at the worst, the genocide of the Southern people. We are a long ways from "Why the South Will Survive." There's a lot of blame to go around, but the greatest enemy, in my humble opinion, has been the Yankee. Whether in 1861 or 2023....
