Walking Back the Monkey

We seem to elect people for what they are not. Obama was not Bush. Already I hear speculation about Scott Brown running for President. But what do we really know about him? Well, he's electable; and he's not Obama.

This is how it works: Because we hated Bush so much, we got Obama. Now, by all accounts, we're in a fix. Does anyone honestly believe that all our problems would just go away if we were to elect someone who is not Obama? No.

We need to walk this monkey back. We needed to do something way before anyone ever heard the names Bush and Obama. We needed to pay more attention to what our kids were learning at school. We needed to hold our politicians to account. We needed to cancel our newspaper and cable subscriptions much sooner. We needed to take more of an interest in our local civic affairs. We needed to protest against clear double standards. We needed to uphold the law. We needed to be moral. We needed to be more selective in what we were reading. We needed to defend people we agree with when they came under attack. We needed to read and understand our history and our Constitution.

There are so many things we might have done, but failed to do. In the meantime, incrementally, things have suddenly reached a tipping point. We all can feel it. Now we can no longer avail ourselves of the usual quick fix. (Throw money at it.) Multiple fires are raging throughout the house. It already threatens the children’s rooms. We'll need to incrementally walk the monkey back from the brink. And that may yet take a hell of a long time.

A New Leaf?

The Democrat Party today is controlled by its radical left-wing fringe. If the election of Scott Brown, Republican, to the late, great Liberal Lion's Senate seat yesterday tells us anything, it's that Americans, both Democrats and Republicans, are painfully aware of it. Americans seem to have found a new appreciation for the fact that continuing on its present course, America, as we have known her, will cease to exist; so much so, that they are no longer willing to indulge the simplistic sports logic of winning and losing when it comes to an existential threat to our nation. In predominantly, proudly blue Massachusetts, liberals have put their natural, superficial bias aside and voted for the Republican. The only thing that could have brought this about is a feeling of immanent danger. Even in the darkest days of the Bush administration I have never heard so many radio ads for gold and food insurance. Gun and seed sales are through the roof. Employers are not hiring. Consumers are not spending. Businesses are not expanding. All these are signs of a population that is no longer confident of its future.

The radical left-wing of the Democrat Party is actively destroying our country bit by bit. The jury is still out on whether it's being done deliberately or is simply a by-product of sheer and utter incompetence. Either way, it's happening. The media is still spinning ‘happy thoughts’. So, it’s not a function of media propaganda that’s causing this general sense of alarm. If one puts any credence in Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of ‘morphic resonance’, one would see that that the unease our people are feeling is well-founded and palpable. It can no longer be dismissed. My own sense is that that the danger is real, all the more so because people feel that what’s happening is deliberate; that our nation has been hijacked by radicals bent on its destruction; that the promise of ‘change’ was merely subterfuge for the real intent of bringing the nation to its knees; to present it to it’s enemies as a bloodied scalp; a sacrifice to the forces that would celebrate the destruction of all that we have managed to build.

Hugo Chavez is a flamboyant example of the enemy, as is Ahmadinejad of Iran. There are others, many within our own borders. They will stop at nothing to achieve their aims. No compromise will satisfy them. They are out for no less than the sacrificial blood of our nation.

From what I’ve heard, yesterday’s election result means nothing to them. They are quite prepared to forge ahead. ‘Double down’ is the tem I’ve been hearing over and over again. ‘Double down’ and ram through health care. ‘Double down’ to pass cap and trade. ‘Double down’ to pass immigration reform; stimulus II; etc. ‘Double down’ on Israel; on collapsing the dollar. ‘Double down’ on imploding democracy as a viable option in governance. ‘Double down’ on the people who dare to stand in the way (which now includes practically the entire nation).

It won’t be long before we know which way the worm turns. Some say, the Obama administration will now be forced to moderate. I, personally, have my doubts. I think it will ‘double down’ and there’s a good chance that we will yet realize our deepest fears.

Mass. Special Election: Brown - Coakley

My expectation is that Brown will beat Coakley. The wild card is 'turnout', as Gigot says; but not in the sense in which he says it. A better term for it is 'fraud'. I dare say that election fraud has been a part of elections in America since JFK (and possibly even before). Fraud has always come primarily from the Democrat side. That is to say, when elections were close, Democrats always won.

Election fraud is difficult to measure or even identify because the media (that is 99% Democrat) never picks up on it. There is, however, a way to gage it by seeing how high any given population is taxed. This will give some indication just how gullible and tolerant of corruption any given population is. Massachusetts is in the top ten of highest tax states and we can therefore assume a high potential for fraud exists. Since this particular election has national implications as well, i. e. the oh so elusive 60th vote for health care, all the stops will be drawn out, both by Massachusetts Democrats and by Washington, to get the desired result.

A Republican win despite the heavy Democrat artillery would be significant indeed. It would point to a nation-wide groundswell of anti-government feeling beyond what the usual (slightly) right-of-center pundits (including Batchelor and Gigot) are willing to admit.
