by Jack Suss aka Wyman Wicket<\/span><\/p>\n It wasn’t an election; it was, and it remains, a coup.<\/span><\/p>\n Regardless of how disabling Trump Derangement Syndrome can be, how\u00a0can anyone<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>NOT<\/b><\/span> STAND UP for protecting our sacred right to vote\u2014and instead accept this treasonous voter fraud? This is something real Patriots can neither accept nor comprehend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In fact, <\/span>I\u2019d venture to say that one would have to be deaf, dumb and blind not<\/i> to see the manifest evidence that has been painstakingly amassed since November 3. Here\u2019s one compilation of that evidence, in case you missed it: https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/489742970\/Election-Evidence-Summary<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Thus, I’ll be tromping around downtown D.C. on January 6. I intend to protest both the inaction and the inappropriate action of those perceived to be \u201cwithout honor\u201d in this whole, tawdry affair. For liberty-loving Americans, preserving the representational democracy inhering in this, our precious constitutional republic, is the most crucial matter of all at the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n But more to the point: <\/span><\/p>\n The big, largely un-talked-about elephant-in-the-room during both the popular and electoral vote brouhaha is the subject of HONOR<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I won\u2019t get into castigating those guilty of who have already dishonored themselves; that\u2019s all too plain to see (if you have eyes to see, that is). So rather than whine on about it, let\u2019s take a deep dive into: <\/span><\/p>\n To help prime the pump, I\u2019d like to introduce a decidedly intelligent and thoughtful essay on the subject. At the outset, however, I confess that its length has defeated my tenacity to read it completely. (On my first reading I got to about Part VI when I started trailing off…) But then, <\/span>the essay is so rich that I don’t think it is necessary to read it all the way through <\/i>in order to get a discussion going re. HONOR<\/b><\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n Without any more than that as an introduction I offer\u00a0Towards the Recovery of Honor: The Art of Verbal Swordsmanship<\/i>\u00a0by an author known only as “Caryl,” whom I believe (going strictly by her online “profile”) is, or was, a professor in the Philadelphia area. The piece was written on or before March 1996. It had been published online in April, 2008, but has since vanished, only to be recovered by the Way Back Machine. Go figure:<\/span><\/p>\n\n
