Audio: Portland has Turned the Corner

I did an article two years ago, "The Democrats Have No Idea What Demons They Are Unleashing." In the article, I cited the Jacobins, the most violent and radical political group of the French Revolution. An estimated 40,000 people were beheaded by guillotine under the Jacobin control of the French government. It turned out over the weekend that protesters in Portland were burning American flags and built a guillotine, which they were proudly wandering around. It's always dangerous to assume that symbolic threats of violence are only symbolic. These are dangerous people in Portland. It is astonishing that this has gone on for something like 90 days. And at some point, American citizens are going to have to have their rights restored, and those would be dictators have to be defeated. I had no idea when I wrote this two years ago, how much it would become true in Portland and how inadequate and incompetent the local officials will be the mayor, the governor, the whole system is just allowing Portland to disintegrate without any kind of effective intervention.

And that is that two years ago, almost exactly. I did a newsletter entitled Democrats have no idea what demons they’re unleashing and I cited the Jacobins who were the people who were the most aggressive in the French revolution. The instrument by a historian Timothy tack at that almost 40,000 people were killed under the Jacobin control of the French government. Many were beheaded by the guillotine. Callista and I had seen Dialogues of the Carmelites at the Washington National Opera. It’s a moving true story of Carmelite nuns who refused to denounce Christ at the peak of the reign of terror, the French Revolution was deeply anti-Catholic. Many churches were closed and reopened as Temples of Reason. The nuns were beheaded for their unwillingness to denounce their faith moments before the guillotine dropped, they displayed the power of God's love by singing hymns and renewing their vows. A couple of years ago, we visited the Picpus Cemetery in Paris. It holds the graves of the martyred nuns and more than 1,300 victims of the terror in a six week period of 1794. And I pointed out that you know, when you start talking about this sort of thing, and there was a magazine called the Jacobin, which on the left that you really talk to me about a dictatorial behavior, that is pretty amazing. Well, it turned out yesterday that protestors in Portland were burning American flags and had built a guillotine, which they were proudly wandering around. And I just want to say, it's always dangerous to assume that symbolic threats of violence are symbolic. These are dangerous people in Portland. It is astonishing that this has gone on for something like 90 days. And at some point American citizens are going to have to have their rights restored, and those would be dictators have to be defeated. It's just that simple, but I thought you'd find that fascinating. I have to confess. I had no idea when I wrote this two years ago, how much it would become true in Portland and how inadequate and incompetent the local officials will be the mayor, the governor, the whole system is just allowing Portland to disintegrate without any kind of effective intervention. So I just want to share that with you.
