Government of the self was the original basis for republican government, reflecting the view that civil society was much more than politics. Society was made up of men and women who gave order to their lives by entering into associations on a voluntary basis, quite apart from government, for all the various reasons of fellowship, philanthropy, faith and commerce.

Something to think about since it explains much of the root of the schism inside of America right now:
Americans are disappointed with man’s depravity, but proud of the Founders’ ideals; liberals are disappointed with the Founders’ ideals, and proud of man’s depravity.

And yes, this is a paraphrasing, secularizing, and correction of a statement made earlier by Ben Shapiro.

It’s the 4th of July. Here’s hoping every true-born and rightly-raised citizen of our country – and loyal, legal immigrant residents – has a celebration at least this beautiful.

Yep! It’s Flag Day and I almost let it pass uncelebrated. Ah well; it’s not as if it’s a particularly well-recognized holiday anymore, so I guess it’s OK that I almost missed it this year… again.

#MAGA is beauty. This goes deeper and beyond the thought that #MAGA girls are beautiful. This is the fundamental truth that, for America, #MAGA is beauty itself, the very foundation of the concept thereof.
Rather simply put, at least for those of us that haven’t completely eschewed Latin: Amor Patriae Verum Pulchritudo. Omne Mendacium Est. Patriotism is beauty. All else is lies. A woman’s face and figure can count for much, but true beauty comes from the content of her character and her love of- and loyalty to her nation and her People.
Reject lies and liars in all matters. Seek true beauty and cleave unto them that possess it. #MAGA!

So, Illinois’ Democrat gun-grabbers and their Governor, recently passed one of the most draconian and unconstitutional firearm, firearm accessories, and ammunition bans in US history. But, thanks be to Heaven and patriots with the means to do something, the immediate effect of the Dems’ criminal misconduct was a legal insurrection. 85 out of the 102 Illinois Sheriffs declared that they will not enforce this illegal law nor incarcerate citizens who are in arrested by other law enforcement agencies because of that law.
Obviously the Democrat Legislators and their Governor, JB Pritzker are shocked, dismayed, and outraged by the mass insurrection of Illinois’ Sheriffs Departments. But, what are they going to do against these patriots? Not only does Pritzker and the rest of the gun-grabbers have little to no practical recourse, but these are collectively a large, well-armed and equipped, organized group of patriots. They’re not the sort people that politicians should really want to push too far. 😉
