To those on Facebook giddy with Roger Stone’s arrest:

Roger Stone was arrested in the predawn hours by 25-plus heavily armed FBI agents. There is nothing statists love more than a show of force by big government against their political enemies.

What a shocking lack of compassion and proportion. Stone’s life and that of his family are probably ruined. The message, don’t work for the Trump 2020 campaign or this can happen to you.

I know you’ll justify Stone’s arrest. Anything is permissible to get Trump. Laverenty Beria said, “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”

Meanwhile, we still have no border barrier. Recently, the US Border Patrol seized 705 pounds of cocaine at the US-Mexico border. How many lives would that coke have ruined? And how much more cocaine and other drugs are even now poring across our border? In a US DOJ study in 2014, 17% of drug trafficking offenses and a staggering 33% of federal sentences were meted out to illegals. But never mind that, and the thousands murdered by illegal aliens in our country. Do the Snoopy dance over the arrest of that grave threat to our republic, 66-year -old gadfly Roger Stone. Last question: Who will play Robespierre and Madam Defarge in your grotesque little drama?

I wrote this (above) and posted it on Facebook in response to several posts about Roger Stone’s arrest. They were vicious and gleeful, happy the FBI stuck a gun in his face and led him off in handcuffs. Indifferent that his deaf wife was upstairs while heavily armed federal agents were raiding her home in the predawn hours. She couldn’t hear the agents’ shouted orders. The potential for a tragic accident was off the charts. The bilious comments could be summed up thusly: Stone was associated with Trump-GET EM! Now we’re one step closer to Trump-GET EM! In the rarefied air of Washington DC politics, Stone is a nobody. I’ve seen him on TV. The man is a goofy and shameless self-promoter. If I see him on the tube, I immediately switch channels. Watching Stone is time that I can’t ever get back in my life. Who could take this guy seriously?

The brutal posts reflect a growing mob mentality, whether they’re disrupting town halls or interrupting conservative speakers. It is angry, devoid of reason, and more importantly, absent empathy – a dangerous turn, and all over political differences. By their silence, their political leadership encourages it. I made the French Revolution reference because that mob-driven event descended into murderous depravity. The philosophical underpinnings of the French Revolution are the same as those underlying Naziism, Communism and yes, Progressivism. If you’re a conservative, remember what you are conserving: no less than the ideals of the American Revolution and that document that is the theology of our nation, the Declaration of Independence.

Don’t let the statists (Progressives) arrogance, meanness and bully tactics get you down. Remember what Churchill said after the battle of Dunkirk, “We shall never surrender.”
