On Jan. 10, 2021, I submitted an article to another publication titled “President Trump Takes a Hit for the Team.” The article appeared on Jan. 12 of that year minus only the last sentence.
It read as follows, “If we the people refuse to apologize, refuse to back down, refuse to submit, January 6 may one day be celebrated as a mid-winter 4th of July.”
I understood the publisher’s prudence. At the time we all labored under the belief that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick had been struck dead by a fire extinguisher-wielding “insurrectionist.”
…Unlike their betters in polite America, the J6 patriots had sussed out the rot of the ancien regime and saw it as their civic duty to speak out against it. At least four died so doing.
The Democrats excite themselves by comparing January 6 to Sept. 11, 2001, or even Dec. 7, 1941, but a more apt point of comparison might be July 14, 1789.
