Sam Donaldson Thinks He Wants a Revolution
Sam Donaldson has been in Washington
too long. He’s been infected with the belief that his observations are holy
writ. Prime evidence is his attack on the Tea Party. “The greatest slogan that
I hated during this last campaign was ‘We want to take back our country.’ Guys,
it’s not your country anymore — it’s our country and you’re part of it, but
that thinking is going to defeat Republicans nationally if they don’t get rid
of it.”
Where have we heard that message before? Donaldson’s rhetoric led to blood literally running in the streets when used by people who weren’t straddled by moral constraints.
The French Revolution is still celebrated in France and is often compared to our War for Independence. The storming of the Bastille was a catalyst for what became known as the reign of terror. “French society underwent an epic transformation as feudal, aristocratic and religious privileges evaporated under a sustained assault from left-wing political groups and the masses on the streets.” How bad was it?

“Internally,
popular sentiments radicalized the Revolution significantly, culminating in the
rise of Maximilien Robespierre and the Jacobins and virtual dictatorship by the
Committee of Public Safety during the Reign of Terror from 1793 until 1794
during which between 16,000 and 40,000 people were killed.
Did you get that? Between 16,000 and
40,000 French citizens were killed for a better France. Consider the following:
Ordered
by the king [Louis XVI] to surrender, more than 600 Swiss guards were savagely
murdered. The mobs ripped them to shreds and mutilated their corpses. “Women,
lost to all sense of shame,” said one surviving witness, “were committing the
most indecent mutilations on the dead bodies from which they tore pieces of
flesh and carried them off in triumph.” Children played kickball with the
guards’ heads. Every living thing in the Tuileries [royal palace in Paris] was
butchered or thrown from the windows by the hooligans. Women were raped before
being hacked to death.
The Jacobin club . . . demanded that
the piles of rotting, defiled corpses surrounding the Tuileries be left to
putrefy in the street for days afterward as a warning to the people of the
power of the extreme left.
This
bestial attack, it was later decreed, would be celebrated every year as “the
festival of the unity and indivisibility of the republic.” It would be as if
families across America delighted in the annual TV special “A Manson Family
Christmas.”[1]
In time, the just cause of the
revolutionary mobs got out of hand, and people began to notice. “During the
Reign of Terror, extreme efforts of de-Christianization ensued, including the
imprisonment and massacre of priests and destruction of churches and religious
images throughout France. An effort was made to replace the Catholic Church
altogether, with civic festivals replacing religious ones. The establishment of
the Cult of Reason was the final step of radical de-Christianization.” It was
at this point that the people became disillusioned with the revolutionary ways
of the radicals, but not before more atrocities were committed for the
salvation of the people and the nation. As revolutionary leader Jean-Paul Marat
declared, “Let the blood of the traitors flow! That is the only way to save the
country.”
Once the mob starts down the road of violence to justify the first “just cause,” there is no way to stop the radical remedy because there’s always one more thing that needs to be changed. They already had killed tens of thousands, what’s ten thousand more?
Mitt Romney’s not my first choice by any means, but he’s all we’ve got at the moment. We need a four-year reprieve from what will certainly be a radically changed America if Obama and his cronies get back in power. He won’t have to moderate an uneasy electorate since he can’t run again, although a called state of emergency could change that. All the stops will be pulled out.
Don’t say it can’t happen here. The people in France, Russia, Cuba, and Venezuela probably said the same thing.

An excellent example of how the "prince of this world" works with humanity. Atrocities beget atrocities; evil begets evil; two wrongs make a "right"; and, 'the end justifies the means'.
Society is driven hard by corrupt religion and politics in one direction...then, in reaction, driven hard in the opposite direction. A pendulum effect is set up and used to advantage.
The truth in Jesus Christ is the only solid footing that identifies and denies these manipulations and wicked crimes.
Absolutely my Brother, and the universal laws work with mathematical precision without fail. Change is in progress and it sure ain't comin from the District of Criminals.
