These scenes of chaos coming out of Portland continue to bring to mind Thomas Carlyle’s famous quip about the future of America:
“Anarchy, plus a street constable”: that is also anarchic to me, and other than quite lovely!
I foresee, too, that, long before the waste lands are full, the very street-constable, on these poor terms, will have become impossible: without the waste lands, as here in our Europe, I do not see how he could continue possibly many weeks. Cease to brag to me of America, and its model institutions and constitutions.”
The very street constable will become impossible!
Oregon is now suing the federal government for stepping in to quell the sustained assault by Antifa on a federal courthouse. Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden plan to stop Trump. Meanwhile, Antifa are giving speeches in Portland about abolishing the United States!
George Fitzhugh and Thomas Carlyle were right.
Democratic officials in Oregon have given up on law and order, subordination and government. These things no longer apply to the mob attacking other citizens, the police and the federal courthouse. The very street constable has become impossible in Portland because the local government simply no longer has the will to maintain order.
