House Divided Speech
Springfield, Illinois
June 16, 1858
“A house divided against itself cannot stand.”
I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free.
I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided.
It will become all one thing or all the other.
Either the opponents of slavery, will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new — North as well as South.”
The Coming Coup?
For the rest of us, the most important thing we can do is raise awareness. If there is a conspiracy to remove President Trump from office even if he wins, they’re telling you about it precisely to get you ready for it, so that when it happens you won’t think it was a conspiracy; you’ll blame the…
What Trump Got Right: Our Choice Isn’t Democrats Vs. Republicans, But Socialism Vs. Democracy
In 1858, on his way to becoming perhaps our greatest president ever and with the growing possibility of a civil war looming over the issue of slavery, Lincoln in his “House Divided” speech foreshadowed with eerie prescience our very situation today: “I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the…
Scientism: America’s State Religion
https://americanmind.org/essays/scientism-americas-state-religion/ Feyerabend’s last word on the subject should be our own: “The hardest task needs the lightest hand or else its completion will not lead to freedom but to a tyranny much worse than the one it replaces.” Edward Feser is the author, most recently, of Aristotle’s Revenge: The Metaphysical Foundations of Physical and Biological Science.
Reclaiming Our Culture from the Left
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/08/reclaiming_our_culture_from_the_left.html Recover a sense of our history, our values, our culture, and teach them to your children. Our young people will not defend what they do not value. Learn in Rating America’s Presidents why America is even worth defending. These are just a few general notes. There is much, much more that must be done. Yet none…
Sleepwalking into Secession
https://americanmind.org/essays/sleepwalking-into-secession/ In short, everything possible should be done to take the Podesta Gambit off the table quickly. If it becomes normalized, it can be used. If it is used, it could easily spin out of control, to the point of destroying our Constitution and our country. Though it seems to have burst upon us suddenly,…

Patriotism vs. Multiculturalism
https://claremontreviewofbooks.com/patriotism-vs-multiculturalism/ by Thomas D. KlingensteinAllen C. GuelzoRoger KimballDavid AzerradMatthew Continetti When he leaves office, whenever that is, we need a more traditional statesman, someone who sees Trump’s value but also his limitations—like Trump, a red-blooded American patriot who has the courage to stand up to the times, but unlike Trump, someone who can articulate the nature…
Wokeism is the essence of anarchy.
In the spreading and deepening influence of these converging modes of racial thinking, we are witnessing the demolition of the moral cornerstones of the American polity, foremost including its dedication to natural rights and color-blind justice, and their replacement by a regime that elevates race over humanity. We now confront a faction that, well-meaning or…
A Republic, If You Can Keep It
Would you donate for a STEM program or a course on conservative economics, but not for a program in the U.S. Constitution? Why not? Do you think our biggest problems are that we don’t have enough qualified technicians or that we don’t have enough people who understand and respect our Constitutional form of government? Are…
