Who Are The Minnesota Lemmings?

Sorry to say, the Minnesota Lemmings are not a new sports franchise, at least not in the traditional sense. I’ll give you a hint though, by citing this definition

lemmings: (2.) a person who follows the will of others, especially in a mass movement, and heads straight into a situation or circumstance that is dangerous, stupid, or destructive.

These lemmings that eat up conspiracy theories are so blinded by lies, they don’t even see the cliff they’re about to plummet over.

Still can’t guess? “The Minnesota Lemmings” I speak of are the organized mobs of both local and imported, paid and unpaid, waves of humanity drawn to Minneapolis to either gawk, chant, carry signs, record videos, scream, taunt, push, kick, throw objects, physically threaten, and/or otherwise obstruct Federal Officers from doing their jobs in any and every way possible. Sadly, the majority of these mobs apparently truly believe what their Leaders have declared (i.e. that they are acting as the “Protectors of democracy, freedom, and human rights” on behalf of innocent migrants and citizens allegedly targeted to become slaves, deportees, prisoners, and for death by the big, bad Trump Administration. The fact that these mostly well-meaning followers do not see how they’ve been lied to and manipulated by the self-righteous politicians, media, activist groups, and those funding them is as tragic as as it is terrifying. And while it is nothing new for people to act as lemmings and sheep, more than ever before, with today’s technology, the consequences are quickly becoming within a hair’s breadth of catastrophic for of us.

The German text translates to:
“Turn back!? Now that we’ve come this far!?!”

My goal is to COOL and not fan the flames of division, by providing context that has been sorely missing from most reports and opinion pieces elsewhere.

As a former die-heart liberal Democrat, I do not believe the current gulf between Americans is as wide as legacy Media, left-wing Politicians and Activists try to portray it. Most people, (regardless of their politics, skin-color, gender, religion, financial status, or ethnic background) simply want the ability to earn enough to keep themselves and their families adequately fed, physically safe, comfortably housed, free to express themselves as individuals, afforded the right to pursue whatever personal goals they have without artificial obstruction, to feel certain that they will be treated with the level of respect they’ve earned, and to know that they will be judged here on earth by an unbiased legal/judicial system that cannot be bought or manipulated by anyone. The Founders of our Country, an extremely diverse group of individuals, following years of research, practical observation and experience, debate, and experiment, devised a brilliantly planned framework for governing the USA that could guarantee the desired result for every Citizen, as long as each one of us steadfastly upheld our own responsibilities under that adopted Federal Constitution, including faithfully holding true to its’ underlying principles.

Amazingly, our Founder’s wisdom has held us together for 250 years. Together, we’ve witnessed periods of tremendous growth in population, territorial expansion, scientific and social progress, economic strength and world-wide influence. And while that path has faced tremendous challenges from both without and within, we have always managed to work through the difficulties and our differences, by subverting our personal egos to find a way to work together lest we risk destroying our common dream for “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”. So why has our future suddenly seem to have changed direction?

In my humble opinion, based on history and objective facts, it is our own very success in improving the quality of life for nearly every single person in our Country combined with a loss of focus on where those blessings came from and the gratefulness due, that has lead us to have entirely unreasonable expectations. We have failed increasingly over the generations to fully recognize the value of hard work, patience, self-sacrifice, and self-reliance that made the abundance we’ve enjoyed possible. And most of all, we have increasingly failed to recognize the vital importance of moral principles, personal integrity, and inter-personal ethics. The result is that we have made ourselves ripe as a nation for manipulation by the relatively small set of people (I call them “The Users”) who feed off of a large population willing to follow their lead, without much more than an overt firey appeal to their target’s immediate emotions and desires. The Users know just which buttons to push, while The Lemmings, thrill to partake in the rewards of having one’s endorphines surge each time their ire and rage gets activated and shared, thus having little interest into questioning their favored Leader’s ultimate intent.

The issues raised by the above are many and each deserves further examination and discussion, but for the purpose of this immediate post I’d like to bring it back specifically to what is happening in Minneapolis, Minnisota under the guise of “Righteous Protests” against the presence and operations of Federal ICE Agents. Essentially, ALL of the chaos, turmoil, fear and outrage being portrayed by the Leftist Leaders rests on the necessity of you buying into an “Us versus Them” mindset. They accomplish this by framing every word, every scene, with high energy and the sense of urgency, using absolutes in terms of oppressors and victims, using strident and shocking images and pushing predetermined conclusions. They do their best to leave no room for you to think, consider, question, or decide; wanting only for you to react in lockstep in the direction of their lead.

Over many years, Leftist Leaders have trained us to blindly accept who are the “Good Guys” and who are the “Bad Guys” based only upon the direction their fingers are pointed. The “Wealthy” are always to be considered “bad” – but only it’s not one of their own. Gun Owners are always evil – but only if it’s not one of their own. Laws are always oppressive and unfair – but only if they are enforced against themselves. Those who break the law should always be allowed to get away with it and even cheered – but only as long as they don’t harm (or vote against, God forbid!) one of The Users designated “Good Guys”. In essence, according to the Left, all ethics are “situational” and the law only applies to everyone but them. Yet despite that mindset, the fact is that ICE Agents are in Minnesota for the sole purpose of doing their legal duty of enforcing U.S. Federal Immigration Laws by taking into custody persons who are in this Country illegally (a felony) and whom have engaged in further criminal activity. The Agents have performed these exact same duties thousands of times in almost every single other state of our Union, without any significant notice or disruption, much less a single fatal incident. The only difference has been solely due to the total lack of cooperation by Minnesota’s Democratic Politicians, local police, and the surge of both local and out-of-state and mainly paid professional “Protesters” who have not only been welcomed by that state’s leaders, but actively encouraged to engage in violent action against Federal Law Enforcement. There is no honest way to deny this fact given the plethora of unedited recorded and documented evidence freely available for anyone with an open-mind to examine.

So what does this all mean?

The most important take-a-way is that if you truly care about people, about protecting human rights, about ensuring equal justice, about ensuring the freedom and liberty guaranteed under our Constitution, and about ensuring the continued existence of the United States of America as the one stable beacon of hope as it has been seen for two and a half centuries across the world, then it is time to:

Stop being a lemming.
Stop following the crowd.
Stop believing the Haters.
Stop believing anyone promising free tickets to paradise.
Stop expecting to get anything you’re unwilling to work for or to give to others.
Stop expecting to be safe from those you attack.
Stop expecting to be protected by those you treat with disdain and disrespect.
Stop expecting to get away scot-free for your own bad acts against those you have pre-judged and condemned.

Beyond that, I believe we can all benefit by re-reading and taking to heart the Ten Commandments, a non-denominational treatise universally respected, and which is at the very core of our Federal Constitution. I’ll leave for another day to discuss more about that latter document: how it was developed, what it means, why, how and by whom it is being actively threatened, and what we can do about it. Until then,

…Be True and May God Bless You!

Evil? Or Just An Eternal Toddler?

Everyone wants to be heard; to know that their opinion matters, that THEY matter. But there is a difference between being “heard” (i.e. “understood”) vs. winning people over to agree with your opinion. It’s when people get these two concepts confused that problems arise.

Most of us learn at a very early age that we can’t always get our way, or at least we can’t always get what we want, when we want it or in the exact manner we want it. That’s what the so-called “Terrible Twos” is all about. The reason that you don’t hear about the Terrible Five’s, Ten’s, or Thirty’s, is because the majority of us figure out how to balance our personal needs and desires, with the needs and desires of our parents, siblings, neighbors, countrymen, and the world. It’s that simple but vital skill of Give-and-Take that distinguishes civilization from barbarism. It’s learning to play well with others.

Unfortunately, not everyone successfully learns the lessons necessary to progress past the stage where a toddler suddenly is faced with the fact that they are not the center of the world, and so these Eternal Toddlers [“ET’s”] continue to believe that everyone outside of themselves exists solely to satisfy their needs and desires. When confronted by the reality that they cannot make everyone snap to attention at their every beck and call, the ET ends up feeling constantly thwarted, oppressed, unappreciated, disrespected, and even abandoned. In turn, those feelings lead to intense, never-ending anger at those the ET perceives have come between them and their desires that they ultimately deal with by turning that anger back on others (in the form of adult temper tantrums or worse) and/or on themselves (i.e. self-loathing, severe depression, suicide). This is hardly a satisfying strategy to procure either the respect of others or a realistic sense of self-worth for the ET. As obvious as that equation may seem, ET’s rarely appear capable of recognizing the folly of that mindset or recalibrating their expectations and methods of communication that’s needed to escape the viscious circle they’re trapped in.

It is easy to fall into the trap of judging an ET – especially when you’re caught within the scope of an ET’s rage or continually compelled to witness the dark, disheartening world of an ET who has turned their rage inward. The inclination to yell “Snap out of it”, “Get Real”, “Grow-Up”, or “#!!?@!&!!! You!”, is understandable yet it’s foolish and counter-productive to give into your frustration that way, and can even be putting yourself at risk of great danger. So what can you do when your life crosses with an ET that won’t set you up as their Eternal Victim [“EV”]? The easy answer is to walk away and fuggetaboudit. But that’s not always possible, especially if you have conflicting feelings such as actually liking the person or even loving them, or if you’re stuck with having to deal with them for professional or other reasons. It’s heartbreaking to watch otherwise intelligent, decent people self-destruct and fearsome when an ET has the attitude of “Take No Prisoners”.

Lamentably, we are powerless to make the necessary changes for them. All we can do is try to be patient, to listen, to maintain our self-composure and dignity, to always maintain our self-respect, try to protect ourselves the best that we can, and then pray. Pray for a miracle that forces the ET take stock of themself, gather the strength to face the truth and seek help to turn their life around. Keep reminding yourself you did nothing wrong to deserve the ET’s venom. Forgive the ET, who is undoubtedly hurting even more than you, but don’t forget to take cover. And most important of all, constantly remind yourself that you can survive anything as long as you stick to the truth, never act with malice, and never stop having faith that somehow, somewhere, some time, you’ll finally be free.
