The difference between retribution and justice can be argued and most likely will be. For my
money, the difference is whether or not the rule of law is followed. The left has opted to use
the law when it suits their aims and abandoned it when it conflicts with their agenda. This
creates a conflict for those who see the rule of law as the Gold Standard of official conduct.
Although we won the initial battle, (AKA the election), to think that this war of differences is
over is delusional. The left has already begun to look to avenues to thwart President elect
Trump’s agenda. This goes against the standards of official conduct setting up what is looking
to be a major conflict between the left and Trump’s supporters.
Our system of government is set up to be governed by “We the People” under the auspices of a representative Republic, but this does not comport with the aims of the left. They see this as
reason to try to subvert and deny the wishes of the electorate if it does not agree with their
twisted agenda.
To say that we are headed for a conflict is an understatement as this will end up being a rough
and tumble contest of wills. That unlawful acts have been perpetrated against the American
public is not up for discussion, what is up for discussion is whether we citizens are willing to act as lawless as the left, or whether or not we will adhere to the rule of law and civil discourse
rather than a tit for tat response. I for one am not amendable to a tit for tat response as it
leaves us as vulnerable as the left and its lawless acts.
Rudy Giuliani said that our system of justice uses retribution as a deterrent to unlawful action.
To excuse, or otherwise allow egregious acts to go unpunished will only embolden the left to
more vicious and unlawful acts. Trey Goudy has recommended that Trump pardon Hunter
Biden when he enters office.
To this I say NO!!! The rule of law must apply equally to ALL citizens, regardless of their affiliations or station in life. The list of miscreants that have abused and or subverted the rule of law is long, but if we are to see our Republic restored to its promise of equality under the law, we must be vigilant and willing to be fair but harsh.
Addendum: Matt Gaetz has threatened to go full, “Harper Valley PTA” on the congress. If the
law means anything at all, its Justice must fall on all equally. “Retribution is one of the grand
principles in the divine administration of human affairs; a requital is imperceptible to the
unobservant. There is everywhere the working of the everlasting law of requital; man always
gets as he gives”.
