“Restoration may be possible, in two days. By the book, Admiral.” – Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
We can finally predict the platform that George Bush’s kids will run on.
The United States is in a bad place. Monetarily. Philosophically. Morally. It even has bad manners.
Ultimately, the systems that led us to this situation won’t lead us out. Voting won’t save us. The Supreme Court won’t save us. Conservatism?
Conservatism© certainly won’t save us. It certainly didn’t save itself, and it becomes increasingly quaint as Conservatism 2021® quietly ignores nearly every position of Conservatism 1965™, if not right out taking the exact opposite position from even a decade ago.
Conservatism® has led us to where we are today. It’s just last year’s Leftist platform, but dressed up in a suit with a useful idiot explaining the Conservative Case for Sex Change Surgery for Toddlers. Oh, and this should be done even if the parents disagree. For the good of the child, you know, which they will all nod and agree, is a Conservative™ value.
Imagine if we called the Left intolerant! That would show them!
The reason for this is the Conservatism™ is inherently a negative philosophy. It doesn’t stand for anything, merely against (mainly) Leftist ideas. Once those Leftist ideas gain a mainstream following? They become a part of Conservatism®, and Conservative™ shills pretend those ideas were always part of their philosophy.
Conservatives® were always in favor of sending troops to Uganda to secure the rights of Ugandans to have gay marriage.
But Conservatism™ in 2021 is now as dead as whatever it is that lives on top of Sean Hannity’s head. There is zero actual Conservative™ philosophy, merely a money and influence game where politicians sell their influence to the largest corporation for thirty pieces of bacon-wrapped shrimp monthly.
So conservative!
All is not lost. Look at, for instance, gun rights. Gun rights were presented not as, “what the Left wants, but more slowly” but instead as, “from our cold, dead hands.” It was that level of determination that led to the “assault weapon” ban lapsing. What started with a concealed carry movement has now led to Constitutional carry (i.e., concealed carry without a permit) in state after state.
In the year 2000, one state had Constitutional carry. In 2021 (by my count) the number is over 21. And gun rights is where the Right has had a similar victory recently. In Missouri, the governor signed into law a bill that bars the police from enforcing Federal gun laws.
All of them.
Of course, the Leftist Justice Department was quick to sperg out and say, “Missouri, you can’t do that” but Missouri just kept hitting “ignore” and sending them straight to voicemail when they called again and again. In truth, the Feds will never be able to enforce Federal law in Missouri unless they unleash the might of the American military against the people of Missouri.
The chances of that happening aren’t particularly high, plus Missouri seems entirely justified.
Amazing what a little light will show you.
Missouri is just following the pattern we’ve been seeing from States for years. Want to sell marijuana in violation of Federal law at the State level? Sure. Multimillion-dollar industries can be set up in a year. Want to exclude police from helping enforce immigration laws? Sure.
This is just the next, logical step.
And it gave me a crazy idea.
The 1819 Project.
In 1819, the Federal government didn’t have these regulations and laws. In 1819, the average citizen’s interaction with the Federal government would have been voting for a Representative and voting for President. We weren’t THE United States, we were the united States.
Until the Civil War, that was fairly clear – States were sovereign entities – they didn’t gain their existence from the Federal government, the Federal government got its existence from them.
The Federal government didn’t tax individuals. The Federal government didn’t place arbitrary restrictions on what you could do with your business, your hiring, and your land. These simply were not Federal issues.
Could the States regulate these things? Certainly, that’s what the Constitution said. Did they? I imagine they did, some of them. Were the states free to pick and choose who voted and how and why? Yes., they were, and without resorting to appeal to the nine black-robed justices in Washington, D.C.
It’s funny that I can write the speeches the governor of Oregon will give in the future.
Could Oregon turn itself into a communist paradise? Sure. But it couldn’t turn its people into serfs, and it couldn’t put up walls to keep them in. It might be able to keep people it didn’t want out, as would any State.
Sure. That’s freedom. But the Commie Rot would be stuck in Oregon. And people could leave it. Senators wouldn’t be elected, but appointed by State legislatures. This improves the ability of the States to fight against silly things from larger States, and makes the ratification of a treaty a real event, not a popularity contest.
Corporations? Well, like people, they’d have a finite purpose and a finite lifetime. If corporations have the same rights as a person, they have to die, too. 70 years might be too long.
How about 40? Regardless, in 1819, corporations had a charter, and existed for a specific purpose and had a specific lifetime. That changed with a Supreme Court decision (not looking it up, it’s late) in the 1880s that gave corporations an infinite lifespan.
Sounds good to me. Every corporation should have an end date.
But the point is that we don’t fight to conserve anything. The time has now come for a Restoration. What do we restore? A culture filled with freedom; a culture where the Federal government was a tiny, distant force that had the responsibility of national defense and regulation of interstate commerce.
No, not the creeping interstate commerce regulations we have today (where having a phone number constitutes evidence of participating in “interstate commerce”) but a very limited scope so Texas can’t put tariffs on goods from Oklahoma. This leaves room for the FAA, but very little room for the FBI since 99% of Federal crimes disappear overnight because they no longer exist. And the ATF? Only to enforce taxes and not kill women and children with fire.
Hey, it’s not easy to brutally enforce arbitrary regulations on law-abiding citizens.
Politics is downstream of Culture. What’s needed is a Restoration of Culture.
If it sounds like I’m making up a movement, I assure you I’m not. The 1819 Project is well underway and has been for years. Parents are, especially in the Leftist parts of the world, pulling their kids from government schools and putting them in religious schools or homeschooling. Why?
The 1819 Project has already started, at best, I’m giving it a name. It’s well underway in places like Modern Mayberry, where a kid can grow up (more or less) free. The Feds seem to have forgotten that rural places exist, and hardcore Leftists don’t seem to want to live here unless they can get ganja and free stuff.
That can be tough to take in. Next week we’ll start in on how he’s born to treat women badly.
Places like Missouri are going to become the norm. I anticipate that, with the coming Troubles I see, the Federal government will become weaker and weaker. The hallmark of a failing government is more tyranny, but the people of the united States have seen their share of what happens when they give up their guns. Pol Pot, Mao, and Stalin have provided a clear example that gun confiscation precedes life confiscation.
Will we get back to 1819 in values? I have no idea.
But I do know we need to be headed towards something, and not just reacting. 1819 is a good start.
The plan.
A national movement like this is impossible at this point. But locally? It can work. That is where our focus should be. Most of the states are lost, even places like Texas that don’t realize it yet. The national parties are in lockstep. Urban areas of any size are gone or almost there. What remains are people living as much as possible apart from the ruling power authority. Having jobs that are not dependent on some globohomo corporate HR biddies allowing you to continue working. Multiple streams of income. Getting yourself disconnected from the infrastructure and as independent as possible. Not an easy task but easier now than in a year from now.
United we stand, divided we fall.
>United we stand, divided we fall.
I LOVE how boomers keep posting this same empty-headed drivel everywhere. Probably reminds them of their “deep thoughts” they had at Woodstock while giving each other VD.
We ARE divided. We’ve ALREADY fallen. Best case scenario is we’re in the process of falling, but the defining battles have been won and lost.
You’re a day late and a dollar short. You’re a quart of oil low. You’re a few fries short of a happy meal, and a couple of bricks shy of a full load.
Should have thought about all of that “uniting” stuff with regards to the hundred million plus immigrants you let in, both legal and illegal, or the families you destroyed by sending jobs overseas while continuing to import cheap labor, or the families you destroyed by divorce, or the families you destroyed by abortion, or the families you destroyed by [insert one of a hundred other primary boomer sins here].
Let’s have a little less nonsense and a little more thinking, shall we?
Don’t blame corporations for sending jobs overseas, when American consumers won’t spend 1% more for a product made by their neighbors instead of Communist slaves. “But, it’s cheaper!” is an argument for slavery.
I’m wearing American-made shoes. They’re comfortable, look good, and cost practically the same as foreign-made. I just had to LOOK for them. Footskins.com is a good place to start.
You may have failed to perceive to whom the “we” refers in the sentence Mr. McChuck wrote. It would be useful to find out that kind of thing.
If “we” means USAians? Wanhope at best; willful blind folly with a side order of “whaddaya mean ‘we’, kemosabe?” more likely.
If “we”means the families in your neighborhood and homeschool co-op? Truth.
It is probably one of the more egregious qualities of Gen-X: how bloody ignorant we are, and how lazy we can be about bothering to find out. The poor millenials (as a cohort) generally do not even know what they do not know. Gen-Z .. Gen-Z is still too soon to generalise about.
But to the degree that all the previous generations get in gear, admit failings, and try to rectify them (including failures of teaching) is the degree to which that second ” we” has a shot. Whatever the general failings of whatever cohort you belong to (age, race, sex, etc.) it is never too late to admit fault, repent, and be forgiven. As the Man said, “Go and sin no more”.
How long you wait to do so is up to you, and how much time you have to repair and rebuild, only God knows.
Make some friends. Prepare. Train. Organize. Defend. Counterattack. Conquer.
We didn’t defeat the British and win freedom 250 years ago by keeping our heads down and not making waves. The tiger may eat you last, but you’ll still get eaten.
“with regards to the hundred million plus immigrants you let in” I spent 25 years fighting communists, Muslims, and drug runners. I’ve actually hunted Coyotes in the Sonoran desert. What have you done with your life?
I love how you like to scapegoat Boomers for the actual actions of the Silent Generation, the Greatest Generation, and generations back before that.
The name for that is Baby Duck Syndrome, because everything to you is new, every day, forever.
It isn’t a compliment.
Turn your hat around, pull up your pants, and get a clue.
Stop living up to every stereotype about succeeding generations ever uttered.
Let’s have a lot less nonsense and a whole lot of any thinking at all, shall we?
Back to back.
The Trend Is Your Friend. It’s already happening. People are self-selecting, and hardening. All Washington has to do is let go . . .
Great article. I live in MO, and I’m so happy we’ve done this. If the Feds want to up the ante, I’m ready and so are many others.
Yup. Double down. How many divisions does the US District Court have?
I don’t get to excited about those state laws it means the only bodies outside the door are Feds when they come knocking.
Simplifies things, doesn’t it.
Makes things simple, right?
State governments ignoring Federal drug, immigration and gun laws are nothing but side shows. Getting back to 1819 levels of Tenth Amendment States Rights comes down to, as always, Starving The Beast.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starve_the_beast
It’s worth examining who is Feeding The Beast.
https://www.dailysignal.com/wp-content/uploads/FBIP-SOCIAL-04.jpg
The top 10% of wealthy Americans earn 40% of the annual bounty produced by the American economy and pay 70% of the beast chow to The Beast to create/enforce the system that allows such a skim. Arguably, they are getting their money’s worth to keep the current scam going. They certainly have overridden “democracy”.
https://scholar.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/mgilens/files/gilens_and_page_2014_-testing_theories_of_american_politics.doc.pdf
(TL;DR version of above: https://www.vox.com/2014/4/18/5624310/martin-gilens-testing-theories-of-american-politics-explained )
So when and how does it become in the best interest of the elites to flock to the Tenth Amendment? I dunno. But I think that’s the key to making it happen, and I’m not sure the end result wouldn’t be State Level Serfdom. The country bumpkin Republican Deplorables certainly can’t seem to get their act together to dismantle the Deep State, and the elite certainly aren’t giving up on Federal Level Serfdom yet. They’ve gimmicked the Democratic Party nominee in the past two elections in a row away from the Independent Socialist (Bernie) that woulda been the Democratic Primary nominee under popular vote “democracy”.
You present an interesting (not-so?) hypothetical 2050 timeline twenty years from now. Here’s an interesting thought experiment for a fifty-year alternate timeline 1890-1940 “united States” instead of “United States”. No American overthrow of Hawaiian government in 1893, no Pearl Harbor naval base established, no Federal Reserve, no Federal Income Tax, no American participation in WWI, no national Social Security. Who wins WWII? Japan keeps China? Hitler keeps Europe? Who has nukes? Are Americans happy?
…er, a hypothetical 2050 timeline THIRTY years from now. Sorry, there’s no edit button anymore.
FWIW, my cognitive functioning has gone down a notch since fighting off for over a month a really bad dental-work-induced infection that eventually required hospitalization and surgery to drain pus from a lemon-sized pocket in my neck. As a result, I have lost over 10 pounds, now require embarrassingly long daytime naps, and I have lost over 150 points on my chess.com rating, one stupid loss at a time to increasingly inferior players. Sigh. So take all my musings with a grain of salt, if you haven’t been already… 🙂
Along the same line of correcting my sloppy thinking: “The top 10% of wealthy Americans earn 48% of the annual bounty produced by the American economy and pay 71% of the beast chow to The Beast…”
Yup.
There’s a harder lesson in there, maybe for a future post.
Sad to hear it. Good luck.
I’ll go hunting for that button.
No, Ricky, every bit is 100% appreciated.
And 100% missed when you’re not here.
Interesting…
Agree that only two things have the potential to roll back the tide of overreach: 1) severely constraining the funding pipeline 2) force. Without free/fair elections and free communication the electoral option just isn’t a viable for change anymore.
The question is what force: the legal force of newly brave and powerful state courts, or something else?
How does 1819 play out….
Do states take unwanted federal facilities/assets by eminent domain in state courts (MacDill AFB/Ft. Hood/Ft. Benning/Mayport/JAX/NASA Johnson Space Center)? Do states no longer recognize the jurisdiction of federal courts or the supremacy clause…? Do States or Feds control import/export/tariffs/etc from States with ports (FL/AL/TX/etc.). Border control? Control of Airports?
Real complexities in execution…
How do the Feds react when push comes to shove?
The heroes from our heritage have almost all been rebels, insurrectionists and traitors to the regime they were born into. William Wallace, Robin Hood, the nobles who forced the English King to sign Magna Carta, the US Founding Fathers who signed the Declaration of Independence were all guilty of high treason against the ruling regime.
Success seems to require excellent timing. Like waiting until the King desperately needed the support of the nobles to save his crown from an invading French army.
Events, events are all…
The next step is for states to eliminate voting rights for newcomers in state and local elections. It needs to be for 20 years or longer, too. Otherwise refugees from huge blue states just swarm in and destroy their new residences. Federal elections won’t matter as much because the state has already largely determined to ignore the feds.
Hurrah for balkanization!
Sure! I like that. 20 years is a goodly number, though 7 would be my pick. As long as you publish a list of 6 year residents and have a supply of tar and feathers nearby.
This morning while making pickles, some similarities between the Deep State and the One Ring occurred to me.
1. It is altogether evil in it’s nature.
2. It’s power is immense.
3. None among us can wield it without being corrupted.
4. We have no means of unmaking it.
5. It must be destroyed if we are to survive as a free people.
It seemed like a good comparison, so I thought I’d share it.
Yup. Let’s have the States remove the power of the Feds.
A lot of Yes there, but also a lot of NO.
1) There is actually a thing called Conservatism, and it is neither dead, nor did it fail to do anything. It is not, nor ever was “a list of things contrary to what Liberals want”, much though some Liberal wolves in sheep’s clothing would wish otherwise.
2) Your error (and it is one) is to conflate Conservatism per se, with the horse-designed-by-a-committee that is things done by people elected to office pretending to be Conservatives, but actually being nothing but lying douchebags.
{cf.: the difference between actual 2nd Amendment advocates, and the trough-guzzling greed of people at the NRA like Wayne LaPierre.}
3) One of these things is not like the other.
4) Conservatism isn’t dead, nor intellectually bereft. rather, it has been defrauded, on a massive scale, perpetrated agisnt people largely endowed with the visual acuity of a rhino, and the perspicacity of a mole.
5) The short problem is that once we elect one of our supposed guys to national office, he stops being one of “our guys” (if he ever rally was to begin with).
6) This is why Trump pissed off the entire political world, on both sides of the political aisle, so fiercely.
He was absolutely not a conservative, in any way shape, or form. Feel free to scroll back though my blog, wherein I castigated him with all the tender loving excoriating consideration of a sulfuric acid bath.
BUT (and this is KEY) Trump governed as the most conservative president since Calvin Coolidge (even leaving Reagan in the dust, never mind big government neo-squishes like Dubbya, Daddy Bush, or Nixon); then, making matters even worse for the quislings of both parties, but most annoyingly, those supposedly of his own party, he actually did his damnedest to keep and fulfill the campaign promises he made to get elected. The nerve of some b*stards…
7) This last was seen a a level of committed fanatical lunacy no lifelong politician could long tolerate, and which threatened the very existence of the frauds in both parties, and united 90% of everyone towards getting rid of Trump, By Any Means Necessary.
8) There must needs be a restoration, but those always come after a bloody revolution, and nearly always one that includes deposing and beheading (literally, as in physically chopping the heads off) the ruler and key ruling party members, generally to a level of bloodletting prefaced by the key words “rivers of…”.
Nothing Less Will Suffice, at the point we have reached now, and such is, frankly, a consummation devoutly to be wished.
9) In days of yore, when we used to count actual ballots from actual voters, the Plan A natural transition was to vote the bastards (and I mean that word clinically, as in misbegotten non-sons, in this case of Conservatism) out the door.
Plan B is that once the option of enacting plan A is gone, we simply start shooting m*****f*****s in the face.
We are currently in the transition phase between Plan A and plan B.
It will not last indefinitely, and in all likelihood, once it begins in earnest somewhere, it will shortly afterwards become trendy and acceptable everywhere.
10) The faux-Conservatives fraudulently elected to office (from dog-catcher to Senate Minority Leader) may ignore that reality, but they will not be able to ignore the consequences of ignoring that reality. Which consequence, sooner or later, will involve a high-speed lead injection to the face at powder-burn range, in 99% of all cases, and a short dance at the end of some wire around the neck, under a handy light post, for the few survivors of the initial effort.
11) To a metaphysical certainty, the second wave of such will be everyone shrieking, tut-tutting, and pooh-poohing the first wave.
And afterwards, their families will be gone after, just to set the point in bedrock stone.
From your lips to God’s ear.

In tge military, in the churches, in mass-media and entertainment, and in the professions (law, medicine, teaching, etc.) … At what point does the number of conservatives who abjure Mr. Trump, despite what Mr. Aesop described above taint “conservatism” past redemption? Or disqualify it?
What is it we’re trying to ” conserve” anyway? Can conservatives say? I suspect that may be the problem. Just like “racism” driving out real virtues and vices. Kind of a Gresham’s Law of moral codes.
Conservatism failed to conserve the ladies’ room, marriage, the definition of ‘man’ and ‘woman’, and the very concept that reality is real.
While it is true that the members are not the leadership, the word and the movement have been so stained that perhaps it is time to regroup. I vote we go back to “Whigs”, and ban anybody who was ever a professional ‘Conservative’ or ‘Republican’ as an enemy agent.
Which conservatives abjure Trump?
Best wishes trying to square that circle.
The way we know someone isn’t (and likely never was) a conservative, was by that selfsame abjuration.
It’s much like “I’m pro-gun, but we need to ban…”.
The very act self-delegitimizes.
And no amount of gold-plated lead slugs makes actual gold worthless.
Anyone who cannot define conservatism isn’t one. That’s the most obvious giveaway there is.
“If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything” was never truer.
People are chameleons. Those in the please-like-me fields, all the more so.
“By their fruits ye shall know them.”
There’s a whole lot of squish out there, which only amplifies the problem.
When people don’t know what they believe, how could you ever expect all of them to elect honest dealers, instead of frauds and charlatans?
AFAIK, there have never been more than a handful of actual conservatives in the entire Congress at any one time, usually no more than what you could count on the fingers of one hand. And it only takes about 5 seconds’ digging to underline that point.
@McChuck,
Please explain when conservatives ever held a majority, anywhere, any time, 1900-present.
Show all work.
AFAIK, that would be nowhere, and never.
You’re conflating Republicans with conservatives. That’s on the order of confusing houseflies with houses.
If you’re going to specify what conservatives lost, you’ll have to explain which conservatives lost it.
If you haven’t got a culpable criminal, you’re missing the key element of the crime, and your case is therefore moot.
You may as well blame the Cleveland Indians for losing the World Series last year.
One obvious example is that Republicans (not conservatives) voted to dismantle Obamacare 10-20 times – when they were in the powerless minority, and had no chance of it ever coming to pass.
The minute they had an amenable president, and a clear majority, they couldn’t seem to figure out how to pass the same bills they’d supported the previous 10-20 times.
Because they were Republicans, not conservatives, and never had any intention of dismantling ObamaCare ever: then, now, or in a million years.
How many of them were voted out of office?
How many times do the voting boobs who send them apologize for them, instead of running them out of office in tar and feathers?
And how many times does an electorate have to be slapped in the face with the cold frozen mackerel of “F**k you, I don’t have to listen to you, I just have to sucker you into voting for me, then I’m home free!” before they figure out they’re being punked, and do something more than piss and moan?
When people have had enough, they won’t be voting. Except with high velocity lead.
Human history is ever thus.
I have to agree with McChuck on this one, Aesop. Your argument boils down to, “True Conservatism has never been tried!”
It no longer matters. Conservatives have failed conservatism, Republicans have failed conservatism, and reality has failed conservatism.
It turns out, as history has been wont to show, that identity trumps principles, precepts, ideals, ideologies, damn near everything. Sure, it is easy for TPTB to keep us divided while they pretend to be two parties. But it doesn’t matter.
Conservatives don’t win in the arena of ideas not because our ideas are bad, not because we lack values, not because we lack principles, not because we aren’t popular, not because we don’t have good leaders to espoused the ideas/values/principles… None of that.
Conservatives don’t win in the arena of ideas because there isn’t one. The ideas, none of it, matters.
Conservatism cannot work in a multicultural, multi-ethnic empire of a society. Indentity politics reins supreme in those instances, and nothing else matters. Federalism doesn’t work in a heterocultural society either.
Conservatism does work in a monoculture. Conservatism hasn’t failed, per se, but it may as well have. It doesn’t work in a preposition nation overrun by diversity. The preposition ceases to matter, because it is not THEIR preposition. It was only ours. It is not, will not, and cannot be the way forward.
Cetera, the problem with your attempt is that you’ve simultaneously attempted reductio ad absurdum and circular reasoning, by assuming your conclusion.
You’ve then gone on to gainsay the central point, without proving yours.
That’s three fallacies, and you’re still on your thesis statement.
Well-played.
Tell the class when and where True Conservatism (or any other kind) was ever tried.
Show all work.
Start by telling us who dismantled Social Security, Medicare, and the Welfare State.
Tell us when the size, role, scope, and budget of the central government shrunk.
Which federal agencies have been shut down and shuttered, 1933 to present? List them all.
FFS, we’re still giving out subsidies for mohair, something the military hasn’t been in need of since…ever.
Failing that, as you must, your entire thesis fall flat on its face.
So, as it turns out, conservatism has never been tried, not one time, ever, anywhere.
You can’t put a pound of sirloin into a ton of horseshit, and get meatloaf.
And blaming the cow for the flavor that results simply will not avail. And it wrongs the cow.
As noted to McChuck, you’re blaming the Cleveland Indians for losing last year’s World Series, or the Cubs for losing every World Series from 1909-2015, inclusive.
What you have shown is that, completely opposite of anything conservative whatsoever, the Uniparty has been hellbent on doing everything to prevent it ever having its day, exactly as you outlined.
When people keep getting the wrong criminal in the dock, they keep coming to the wrong verdict, every single time, because they’re trying the wrong people, with the wrong facts, for a non-existent crime, and jumping to the wrong conclusions.
So maybe stop doing that.
Thus you can perhaps understand why your agreement doesn’t strike me as anything particularly noteworthy, given how you arrived at that consensus.
This is why good math teachers try to instill in their students the fundamental lesson that if you can’t set up the problem correctly, you will never achieve the correct answer.
You didn’t, and you haven’t.
In the words of Pink Floyd “Wroooooo-ooooong! Do it again!.”
As always, we agree. It’s that this putrid thing that calls itself conservatism has replaced entirely actual Conservatism. I could go on and on about the skinwalkers that parade themselves daily in that guise.
I happily called myself Conservative for years. Happily. But the “big tent” created a space for the RINOs to invade.
That’s why I just use the term “the Right”: because of the Quislings.
Truth will always, always, always prevail.
I want the whole US. I just fear that some of it is too far gone.
Then I would gently suggest castigating Republicans, rather than conservatives.
Republicans are to conservatives as astrologers are to astronomy.
As to some of the country being too far gone?
Nah. Nothing wrong with any square foot of it.
Doesn’t mean we must needs keep all the current inhabitants thereof.
Big difference.
We’ve faced this crisis before. We sent Phil Sheridan, the US Cavalry, and railroads, that time.
This time?
