Last week was a black day in America and may in years to come be seen as the turning point where the possibility for reconciliation became as unattainable a dream as affordable health care. The filibuster, a procedure in use by the US Senate since nearly as long as the Senate has existed, was tossed on the ash-heap of history by the New Marxists in their quest for absolute power. The filibuster had limited use. There had to be major discord over a matter for the opposition to agree among themselves to take the floor of the Senate and keep it without a break for long hours. And sooner or later the filibuster had to end. As noted in a Congressional Research paper on the subject, the filibuster did not empower the opposition to permanently obstruct a vote on a proposed nomination or proposed legislation, but it slowed things down and called public attention to the cause of dispute. The filibuster gave the majority an incentive to craft legislation so as to gain the support of at least part of the opposition. It helped to soften the hard edge of partisanship that rules in the House.

Well, the filibuster is dead, along with our Jeffersonian ideals, and rare is the American who thinks that this depredation is the last. It is a certainty that the self-imposed limits to the ruling party’s abuse of power will be cast overboard at the first opportunity, setting off a political conflagration. We have an autocrat with little feel for America’s history and essence sitting in the White House and he is surrounded by others of the same ilk. Many of his advisers are the grandchildren of Russian and Eastern European communists (Mensheviks) who lost out to a smarter communist named Lenin and fled to the US to escape retaliation. But like the true believers Gram and Gramps were, they passed on their ideology of vanguards and masses, of the privileged and the permanently oppressed, and now those ideas have been brought to the heart of America. And when the same violence that engulfed Russia back in the day catches fire across our nation, I guess our only satisfaction will be that the descendants of those who carried this seed of destruction from their own country to ours will have nowhere else to run to escape the just rewards that await them.
