#1 So let's see if we've got this right. Per the DoD's new Political Commissars:

Spencer Rapone, USMA grad and self-proclaimed Communist: not an "extremist"

Supporters of BLM, a self-described Marxist movement that opposes the American "empire" and that has encouraged and supported deadly violence against police in hundreds of US cities white and jewish Americans, and the Secret Service members guarding the White House among other law enforcement officers, are not "extremist."

But...

Service members who supported Donald Trump are "extremists"

Service members who sport a confederate flag anywhere on their person or possessions are "extremists"

Service members who sport a confederate flag anywhere on their person or possessions are "extremists." Ditto for the Revolutionary War "Betsy Ross" flag, the Gadsden flag, and anything bearing the phrase, "Make America Great Again."

Service members who express support for Martin Luther King's maxim that we should judge people "on the content of their character, not the color of their skin" are "extremists"

Service members who do not agree that George Floyd was strangled or asphyxiated but instead died of a drug overdose are "extremists"

Service members who publicly state that there is no empirical support for the claims of "systemic police racism" are "extremists"

Service members who support enforcement of our southern border are "extremists"

Service members who make references to clear, factual irregularities and violations of election laws in the November 2020 elections are "extremists"

Service members who consult news sites, bloggers, podcasts, etc where the lies, hypocrisy and incoherence of left-wing members of Congress are called out are "extremists"

Got it.

Go F--- yourselves, you smelly little totalitarians

#3 And here you see the true reason why the Founders included the Second Amendment. Now, are there enough citizens left with the courage to use it?

#4  Hail Lobster!

I thought that sounded familiar: ‘Hail Lobster’: Jordan Peterson Jokes About Being Turned Into A ‘Magic Nazi’ By Marvel Comics

I like Aslan’s answer in The Last Battle, myself, though it is considerably less succinct, being aimed at children:

“Then I fell at his feet and thought, Surely this is the hour of death, for the Lion (who is worthy of all honour) will know that I have served Tash all my days and not him. Nevertheless, it is better to see the Lion and die than to be Tisroc of the world and live and not to have seen him. But the Glorious One bent down his golden head and touched my forehead with his tongue and said, Son, thou art welcome. But I said, Alas Lord, I am no son of thine but the servant of Tash. He answered, Child, all the service thou hast done to Tash, I account as service done to me. Then by reasons of my great desire for wisdom and understanding, I overcame my fear and questioned the Glorious One and said, Lord, is it then true, as the Ape said, that thou and Tash are one? The Lion growled so that the earth shook (but his wrath was not against me) and said, It is false. Not because he and I are one, but because we are opposites, I take to me the services which thou hast done to him. For I and he are of such different kinds that no service which is vile can be done to me, and none which is not vile can be done to him. Therefore if any man swear by Tash and keep his oath for the oath’s sake, it is by me that he has truly sworn, though he know it not, and it is I who reward him. And if any man do a cruelty in my name, then, though he says the name Aslan, it is Tash whom he serves and by Tash his deed is accepted. Dost thou understand, Child? I said, Lord, though knowest how much I understand. But I said also (for the truth constrained me), Yet I have been seeking Tash all my days. Beloved, said the Glorious One, unless thy desire had been for me thou wouldst not have sought so long and so truly. For all find what they truly seek.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle

#5 "...all find what they truly seek"

We must seek truth.
We must seek the old truths, as they were said in the olden times .
We must seek the good, and the beautiful.
We must seek what we know is right and just and holy.

We must reject our age's version of Tash
