George Zimmerman & The New Jacobin Club

The Zimmerman verdict and aftermath is a sign post along the road being traveled by all of us as part of the American “Grand Experiment” in democracy and liberty.

Forget about exploitative cries of racism, the perversion of civil rights, prosecutorial abuse, the politicizing of the judicial system, media bias or the growing confederacy of low-information citizens or any of that familiar crap we’ve become all too accepting of in our society. Trees, not the forest. Symptoms, not the disease.

As Americans, we are all revolutionaries, inheriting our common heritage from a rebellion more than two centuries ago from what was then one of the world’s superpowers. Of course, not all revolutionaries are created equal: Adams vs. Lenin; Washington vs. Castro; Franklin vs. Mao; Madison vs. Guevara; Jefferson vs. Robespierre . . . .

If some of the more outspoken members of the DOJ, the DNC, MSNBC, CNN, the AP, the NFL, MLB, the NAACP, the AFL-CIO, the NBP, ASCAP, BMI, SAG — or any of the other self-appointed members of the “Committee of Public Safety” — had their way, is there any doubt that were this 1794 George Zimmerman would soon be climbing the steps to the guillotine?

Our revolution is once again at a crossroads and the Zimmerman travesty has illuminated the new Jacobins amongst us and from their words and actions there can be no doubt about their disturbing thirst for a new & improved Reign of Terror (Courtesy of John Nolte at Breitbart):
