Last week Thursday Joe Biden took to the stage to deliver a prime-time address from Independence Hall in Philadelphia. This is the place that we shall remember this month, September 17, 1787, where our US Constitution was signed establishing the longest running constitutional Republic that the world has known. You would have thought that in that moment it would have been imperative of the leader of this great Nation to rally us, bring us together and talk about the beginnings of this Republic, our respect and regard for the rule of law and individual rights, freedom, and liberty…personal sovereignty.
The Constitution of the United States of America, signed there in Independence, or Constitution, Hall is a restraining document on the powers of the federal government. As well, it was not ratified by the respective States until it included an individual Bill of Rights, our first ten amendments. Funny, ol’ Joe Biden once quipped that no amendment to the Constitution is absolute.
And I guess this is where I will make my hypothesis; it is time we stop seeking reason from the progressive socialist left. So many articles, social media posts, and commentary have been published in the aftermath of Biden’s quite disturbing rant. However, the progressive socialist left fully believes it was a great speech. Never mind the ominous and eerie choice of color backdrop on Independence Hall, or the use of two US Marines standing in the background. Never mind the direct targeting of a portion of Americans and their demonization as fascists while declaring them a threat. Biden could have also directed comments towards groups like Antifa and BLM who have been responsible for some of the worst violence, destruction, and death in America.
Nope.
Joe Biden took the political path of least resistance and squarely placed a target on some Americans–mainly those who disagree with him. Think about it; every time a Republican in recent years has been elected President he has been declared by the left as illegitimate. And even on Donald Trump’s inauguration day there were violent protests in Washington DC. Remember the ensuing women’s march where Madonna admitted to wanting to blow up the White House?
Joe Biden stood there before the place where our Constitution was signed, and he is in violation of Article IV, Section 4 of that document. Yes, his open borders policy is a clear violation of the Guarantee Clause. But I am speaking of reasonable issues which have little to no meaning for the leftists. History is sadly repeating itself in a very disconcerting and dangerous manner in America. Leftists, Marxists, socialists, communists must have a target. Even Saul Alinsky referred to such in his rules for radicals. This targeting process gives them a deranged perceived right to destroy the declared opposition. Sen. Schumer says Gorsuch and Kavanaugh shall reap the whirlwind and next thing you know there is an assassination attempt against Justice Kavanaugh. The Congressional GOP is demonized so someone takes to opening fire upon their baseball team practice. Churches and pro-life centers are firebombed, vandalized, Trump supporters are beaten in the streets, some in Portland, Denver, and Milwaukee are even murdered…no big deal to leftists.
The time has come when we must realize that we cannot reason with those who believe that their designed ideological ends justify any means they use.
The progressive socialists do not care that America has a drug, human, and sex trafficking issue–they want open borders. The leftists do not care that violent crime is out of control because of their bail reform agenda—they just blame Republicans. The leftists will starve our children of lunch if schools do not teach their gender dysphoria agenda–they don’t want to educate our children.
There is a saying, “Come, let us reason together.” Tyrants and totalitarians do not seek reason, they seek power and control, and demand obedience, conformity, and subjugation…abject surrender. Joe Biden spoke of fascists. Tell me, who is running about in America censoring free speech and freedom of expression? Funny, Antifa stands for “Anti-Fascists,”but these idiots go about beating down people who speak in opposition to their leftist beliefs.
Joe Biden crossed a Rubicon from which I do not know there is a reconciliation. Under the quite demonic aura presented on Thursday night he spoke not of unity, but of punishment for non-conformity. Hence why the federal government needs 87,000 new IRS agents who must be comfortable with being armed and the use of deadly force.
Biden and his terrorizing flying monkeys believe that the Thursday night speech was phenomenal, brilliant, and spot on. They are indeed what drill sergeants refer to as “stuck on stupid”, and the ol’ drill sergeants would say, “you can’t fix stupid.” We have come to a point in America where you cannot reason with it either. Despots and dictators demonize their opposition to make their destruction more palatable. When you seek a discussion based upon truth, then again leftists do not believe in objective truths, and you’re only met with frothing screaming emotional invectives…there is no opportunity for reason.
There is no opportunity to seek compromise with those will not participate in good faith. They must be beaten at the polls. And then Republicans must have the guts to beat them back with public policy that promotes individual liberty.
I am not saying give up. I am saying as Thomas Paine stated in his pamphlet The Crisis, “THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”

Col. West is absolutely right – the Left cannot be reasoned with. But the vast numbers of ignorant voters and the prospect, once again, of the use of massive fraud to steal the upcoming election are formidable impediments to restoring sanity to our besieged and badly wounded republic.
Off-topic, I despise the new Comments format and the grey typeface now employed for the articles. And, for god’s sake – can nothing be done to rid us of the plague of idiotic work-from-home offers in this section? Is there no moderator?
David Ray says
Andy Ngo would agree with you. The brown-shirts calling themselves AntiFa nearly killed him – TWICE.
He was a local from the area (not a Republican or Tea Party member), but for the sin of “doing the job, other reporters simply won’t do”, he was fascistically attacked by leftist mobs on the streets.
Leftist mobs tolerate no dissent from their bullshit dogma. Even moderate liberals will be hunted, if they don’t submit & sign-off on all dictates.
Hence, Andy Ngo & Bret Weinstein of Evergreen University both bought pistols for protection.

Worse, they didn’t fix the big glaring fault of the old system….no block button. In fact they made it worse. As far as I can tell there is no edit button for your posts after one posts them

Intrepid: I agree with your comment one hundred per cent.

“There is no opportunity to seek compromise with those will not participate in good faith. They must be beaten at the polls.”
How do you beat those who “will not participate in good faith” – meaning in particular stealing elections among other things – at the polls?!
spaceycakes says
Trump did beat bin Biden, but meh, no one seemed to care and the dc sickos made ‘Jan. 6’ a thing.
JoshO says
No No we beat them WITH poles…. or posts or rods might work better.

Thanks, very insightful and informative article.

I recall that Lenin told his followers, words to the effect:
Don’t waste your time arguing with your enemies, but get power and then you won’t have to argue with anyone.
This is precisely what the commies have always done and it’s what they are doing today in all Western countries.
David Gin says
Thank you Lt. Colonel Allen West, absolutely brilliant and at 69 years on this earth sadly so true.
Mike says
Great article, Col. Thank you.

Why would anyone try to reason with someone who thinks there are women with penises, pregnant men, and who cannot or will not define “woman”?
Dantes says
The GOPe prefers to be summer patriots and make deals.
McConnell, McCarthy and their acolytes don’t have the stomach for the fight we need to have. Non violent fight now, but as they dither around, it will come to violence if the Marxist left is ascendant.
david wheeler says
The ENTIRE Repub Leadership MUST be voted out of their leadership positions. Put them on the back-bench. and if they vote against the Party’s wishes take away any committee positions.
They REFUSE to fight the socialistDems, particularly McConnell.
I’ve also read that approx. 2/3 of our federal govt. is in bed with the Chinese Government.. And quite a few State politicians are like-wise. Particularly in the State of Kkkaliforn-yah!
spaceycakes says
see, the problem, Col. West is that the dc repubs cannot be trusted
Walter Sieruk says
The title of this specific article ,says it all, this heading “The Futility of Reasoning With the Left'” may be seen in Joe Biden ,who is the epitome and personification of all leftism.
For Biden is such an irrational feeble -minded idiot that he cannot or will not understand logic or even common sense.
To explain this in another way ,to even attempt to have an intelligent discussion based on reason with Joe Biden is like trying to teach algebra to a rabbit.

First, get rid of the controlled opposition.
McConnell’s gotta go.

As the saying (*) goes: “Debating with leftists is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the pigeon will knock over all the pieces, shit on the board and claim victory.” Only action counts from now on.

Walter Sieruk says
One a long term Democrat said to me “I love Joe Biden.” The thing is that she couldn’t tell me why.
Another time she told me “I hate Donald Trump’.” Yet she couldn’t tell me why.
Speaking only for myself, I don’t hate Joe Biden, Biden isn’t even man enough hate. I have no emotions,at all , for pseudo “president” Biden except a strong feeling of contempt .
Furthermore, If there is right way to handle a situation and a wrong way to handle a situation , Biden will always chose the wrong way.
This means that Biden is either an incompetent idiot fool hideous treasonous treacherous villain.
Andrew Blackadder says
The antifa wee whitey soy boys are all running around dressed like, acting like, and sounding exactly like the Black Shirt Fascist Brigade in Italy during the Reign of Mussolini in the 1930s and yet these wee punks have the nerve to refer to themselves as anti fascist which merely tells me the level of their education in history.
John Demjanjuk says
We defineately need a Profa movement to counter that insane Antifa movement!!!!
