The End of America?
November 2nd, 2008It amazes me how easy it is to get used to anything. I used to change out the hot grease at restaurants when I was younger. The stuff is well above 300 degrees and I would be carrying about 10-12 gallons of the stuff across a brick floor covered with soapy water with a hot water hose snaking around my feet. One slip and I was going to the burn unit to be tied down. There isn’t anything that can kill that level of pain.
However, I would slip and slide my way across the floor nightly taking that amazing chance… Why? Because I was used to it. The reason, I suppose, that firemen run into blazing buildings. We assume they are braver than us and I am sure that they are braver than me, being the most craven coward on earth, but it’s more than that. They are used to it. I doubt they would wander into the field with a bunch of bulls the way I have seen an old rancher do. He was used to the idea that one of them might gore him and trample him into the dirt, I suppose. I doubt he would run into a burning building. However, I digress.
Newsmen, I include the females, must be used to liars. It certainly doesn’t impress them anymore. Same thing with evil, hate filled, power hungry madmen. They see them so often the danger doesn’t impress anymore. Of course, there is another possible explanation. They really could be a stupid as they seem. Blinded by the lights? Who knows?
This country is being turned over to a man who could not get even the lowest level federal job requiring a security clearance. I pray to God, should there be one, that people with the highest level of secrets know better than to let him find out what they know. Better to call Putin, Castro and Chavez themselves; they might be able to get something in exchange. Obama will give our country away for free.
Why did we do this? The obvious answer is for a check. Most people voting for the thing think they are going to get a couple of hundred bucks out of the deal. Of course, there are others who are just getting to feel morally superior. Others, rich pampered racists, get some assuagement of their guilt. Of course, many are simply hypnotized. They listen without thinking, have done so their whole lives, and absorbed their instructions from the constant drumbeat of the entertainment programs that is their primary occupation. Ask people who are opposed to the obamathing what they watch and listen to daily. It is totally different from the slop in which the believers bathe their minds. Often not much more sophisticated perhaps, but different.
Imagine this. You, a healthy adult we will assume, are fighting a ten year old child. The child doesn’t have a chance, right? Let’s change the rules. Suppose you don’t fight back, never hit the kid, only try to block his blows and then, as gently as possible. The kid is allowed to used bottles, bricks, baseball bats — anything he can pick up and hit you with. Who is going to win? Hint: It ain’t you.
That’s the rules the GOP, the Republican party has been playing under for the past several decades. The opposition can lie, can steal, can ignore all and any rules of decency. Republicans immediately destroy any member who commits the slightest indiscretion. Cheat on your wife? You’re through. Have a friend do work on your house and underbill you? Eliminated. Your roomate runs a gay prostitution service out of your home? Wait. That was a Democrat — no penalty. That guy still chairs important committees and is considered a spokesman for the party. See how this works?
I’m not saying that we shouldn’t have ethics, shouldn’t strive to have the best people in positions of power. I’m just saying that in politics a crook with an R after his name should be left in power until a better person with an R can be found. Never, under any but the most extreme circumstances — say, treason — should that person be replaced with a D. NEVER.
Judges, the courts are the path our enemies and our countries enemies have chosen to power. Right now, a record number of judge positions sit empty. They have been empty for years. They are waiting for Obama. They are destined to be filled with scum. SCUM. People, and I use the word loosely, who intend to subvert our way of life, to ignore the constitution wholesale. Unbelievable as it may seems Republicans will vote to confirm every one of these bastards. Every one. Even though they may not be able to stop the confirmations this HAS TO STOP. When a judge is proposed who will not rule according to the constitution every senator must scream and scream loudly. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND I WILL NOT VOTE TO CONFIRM. They must be identified by name and position. They must be identified directly to the public so the public can watch. AND THEY MUST BE REMOVED AT THE EARLIEST TIME POSSIBLE. THIS is why they must be identified. This is why the public must be aware. They must not be “shocked” when, should there still be a chance to correct this horrible election, actions are taken. It is going to take time for the public to “get used to it”. Better that than what they HAVE gotten used to, the theft of America, the destruction of liberty, the tyranny of the unopposed left. FIGHT BACK. DON’T GO QUIETLY. FIGHT.
