Frame this one, because it is important

 Bill Whittle's "Tribes". On pjmedia...

  There will come "A Time for Choosing", and if that may seem familiar, it certainly is. It is Ronald Reagan's famous speech. I draw some ideas from that, and a few more from Whittle's essay.

  Bill Whittle's piece came out after the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Shucks, I thought it came out after 9-11. This is how one's memories can trick you over time.  The remarkable thing about that time is that President George W. Bush's reaction to the Democrats was rather pitiful.

  Imo, it is important enough of an essay to memorialize it, because we are in a time in which it will become necessary to choose sides in the Culture War.

  "The Culture War", as Pat Buchanan coined it in 1992, is a thing, whether or not you acknowledge it. You are going to have to choose sides in that, because the outcome of that war is how the future will enfold. One side or the other will win this war. The denial of its existence is a guarantee of defeat.

  There are those who would rather do anything other than to confront the evil, and then there are the "sheep dogs", who will confront the "wolf". The left is the "wolf". You have to choose to be just another one of the sheep, who do nothing but complain, but the wolf won't hear the complaints, but will feed upon the sheep without mercy. Such is the future ahead of us if we fail.

  I don't necessarily agree with everything that Whittle says. In particular, about having to choose to be a sheep-dog. In times of war, all able-bodied men were called upon to defend the country. In that case, the choice is either to run off to "safety", or join the fight.

  Once again, the fight is already upon us. Either we rise to meet the threat, or we WILL be subjugated. Denial is not an option, here.
