Nothing is more contrary to the meaning of Christmas than government. From Karen Kwiatkowski at lewrockwell.com:
Christmas brings wonderment, and a sense of a future yet unfolded. We practice gratitude, as therapy, sometimes fearfully, and occasionally, with quiet joy. There is uncertainty all around us, and we crave certainty – not the certainty of death and destruction – but rather the reliable and certain comfort of feeling blessed, in a blessed world.
What we are seeing today doesn’t look very blessed. The United States Congress that supposedly represents us under Constitutional guidelines, just voted to fund and grow the US war machine, to fund overseas destruction beyond anything we have seen since we were scorching the jungle and destroying whole villages in Vietnam in the name of fighting communism…
Communism won – not in Vietnam, of course, today a busy, bustling, building, harvesting, and exporting phenom. But in the US, we have all the societal decay and hostility, all the security state growth, and all the suppression of free markets that we used to say we opposed. Economic and intellectual life is hampered, moving underground, off-grid, or overseas, along with our entrepreneurial youth and their wise grandparents. It’s the New American Dream, to leave the country and prosper. The Combat Diaries: Tr… Guardia, Mike Best Price: $13.98 Buy New $16.95 (as of 01:50 UTC – Details)
Just before Christmas, the US Congress created the latest amalgam of constraints and barriers to peace, at home and abroad. The NDAA added new unconstitutional ways to mass surveil Americans, and new unconstitutional laws to prevent a future president from exiting or defunding that stinking cauldron of incompetence and conflict we call NATO. It protects government from military vaccine reparations, re-funds Ukraine Security Assistance Fund, and ratifies the AUKUS Treaty, specifically designed to stoke naval conflict with China for the next decade. The NDAA matches inflation in military pay, and in news to the struggling heartland, caps the “base pay of all DEI staffers at $70,000 a year.” Who knew you could make that kind of money being a poorly educated lefty nag?
Good on KK who walks the walk.
