My friend Colin contends that men at 40 either begin to smoke meat or study World War II. I do a little of both, but a 24-hour brisket analogy does not work here, so I’ll go with U-Boats.
Gen. Eisenhower called [ [link removed] ] destroying the German U-Boat campaign “a basic requirement to the winning of the war.” The Nazi’s knew this, and their U-Boat factories were fortified with 15 to 23 feet thick reinforced concrete and were heavily protected with anti-aircraft defenses. They knew manufacturing U-Boats faster than the allies could find and sink them would continue Nazi domination of the sea.
Combined British and American forces flew thousands of bombing sorties and suffered tremendous casualties trying to destroy these facilities. By 1943 the allies gained the upper hand when U-Boat production fell short of losses. By the time of the D-Day crossings in 1944, the U-Boat threat was neutralized.
This is my strategy for liberalism factories.

I concluded my previous piece by pointing to “the government. Academia. Liberal philanthropy” as institutions which produce The Karen: the liberal, white, outraged, politically over-stimulated and hyper-engaged woman prototype who is destroying the nation. (Read that piece first, if you haven’t already.) [ [link removed] ] [ [link removed] ]
These institutions pump out more than Karens. They produce liberals in general, and faster than Lucille Ball can stuff them down her blouse. We must dismantle and destroy these liberalism factories if we are to survive as a free people.
“Wait… are you comparing higher education and liberal non-profits to Nazis?” Of course not. They are worse.
The Nazis wore different uniforms and made it clear they were our enemy and wanted to kill us. Today’s liberal has the same goal but hides amongst us… though increasingly their unofficial uniform of septum ring and blue-dyed hair is a give-away.
We are most clearly at war with the left. Yesterday’s skirmishes of privatizing social security or even Roe v. Wade, battle lines of “wear a mask” and “ban gas stoves” have yielded to women like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Rep. Ilhan Omar excusing the murder of Charlie Kirk or Virginia’s Attorney General elect Jay Jones wishing a republican wife could watch her children die in her arms… for policy reasons.
Just this week liberal members of Congress made another one of their gay videos- camera facing, overly scripted, quick edited, where they ask the military to defy orders from the Commander-in-Chief.
Trump reminded [ [link removed] ] them sedition is punishable by death. If that alarms them, they do not know their history. General Washington dealt with sedition and mutiny by having the offending soldiers execute their own mutinous officers at point blank range with the entire camp watching.
Yes, we are at an undeclared civil war, and the right has primarily been involved in tactics. What we need is grand strategy. Winning a gubernatorial race or taking control of the House are great little wins… that just prolong the war. I want the war to end, our enemies mercilessly defeated, peace to reign in a new Pax Americana, and to achieve these ends, we need to destroy their factories. I see it as Ike said “a basic requirement to the winning of the war”.
So let us do just that.
1. The Government
To be clear, I am not calling for anarchy or revolution. In the context of pumping out Karens or liberalism in general, when I say “the government” I mean the vast, unelected, extremely powerful bureaucracy and regulatory apparatus which does two things: rule over us and foster a class of people who believe they have some supreme authority to rule over us.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, government creature par excellence, famously said [ [link removed] ] “I was born to legislate”. Woof.
That is a dangerous and deeply unAmerican belief. Yet Chuck, who was first elected to office in 1974, is still doing it, and none of us is better for it.
Gina McCarthy, a bitter green radical whose ideology is as ugly as her accent, was Joe Biden’s domestic climate czar. In this role she instituted [ [link removed] ] “100 rules just on appliances” and told airlines to get onboard or they’d be “out of here”. No one voted for Gina. Congress never approved of rules on appliances. You had no say in your freedom of light bulb choice or generators or leaf blowers… Gina would tell you what she believes you should be allowed to buy. Government gave Gina power, and she used that power to rule you.
That must end. Not just positions like Gina’s, but the thousands of people she empowered who believe their job is to regulate your life.
Consider this: for weeks during the recent government shutdown, some 400,000 “non-essential personnel” were furloughed and did nothing. Nothing. They did nothing.
Not air traffic controllers or military, who did their jobs unpaid. No, I mean “Program Officers” at the Department of Commerce or “Senior Coordinators” at the Department of Labor or “Outreach Specialists” at the Department of Agriculture of “Assistant Directors” at the Department of Interior… 400,000 of them did nothing. Nothing. Not a thing for weeks and it mattered not.
These are the breeding grounds for busy body liberals who are now back to work looking for ways to rule over you.
A tyranny of the non-essential personnel.
And this is just the federal government… one could argue the tyranny is worse at the state and local government. Good luck building that shed in your yard. Did you have a permit to remodel your bathroom? Wet food scraps must be placed in the red bin, which is picked up every other Thursday, and improper recycling incurs a $50 fine per offense. No parking on this street every other Tuesday 9am to 9pm. Take a number. For English press 1.
Liberals in the government see a busy road and think “let us eliminate lanes of traffic and put in a bike lane”. Then, when the traffic is worse, they propose a congestion tax.
For democracy. Or something.
“Where in the world do you find these angels who are going to organize society for us? I don’t even trust you to do that,” Milton Friedman told [ [link removed] ] Phil Donahue in 1979. Few enter government to make life better for us. Most enter because they need a job and want a pension, or, much worse, like Chuck Schumer, because they believe their raison dêtre is to rule over us.
This part of government- this liberalism factory- must be eliminated if we are to be free.
The other two factories I mention, academia and liberal philanthropy, must come at another time. Too long an article and one surrenders midway through, even with writing as punchy as mine. So, let me end now while I still have you. More to come. Much to do.
Honor and courage.
