Entrepreneur-ism, Self Reliance, and Self betterment have
been replaced by chasing bright shiny things, free stuff, and submission to
socialist powers. This election the
American people have rejected fact, logic, and reason for lies, fairy tales,
and dammed lies. We have allowed
ourselves to be bamboozled by people who have lied to us in the past (“I have not had sex with that woman”),
broken promises they made (I will cut the
daffiest in half – reduce healthcare costs – strengthen relations with our
allies), and destroyed our economy (high
unemployment – ruined the nation’s credit rating) for now and the future. We picked a president that watched four Americans
be butchered and did nothing to stop it, gave tax payers and borrowed money to
contributors for failed businesses, and declared his intentions to bankrupt an
industry supplying most of America’s energy sources.
The psyche of the American public has done a 180. We do not consider the government as an
extension of ourselves anymore but as a separate entity that should rule over
and control our lives. A woman in New
Jersey was interviewed on television last week.
She complained that there is no power and now she has to walk up several
flights of stairs to get to her apartment.
She complained that the government is not there to help her. She whined that there is debris in the hall
way and stairwell. She can’t get to work
so she just sits and waits for help. It
never occurred to her to pick up a broom and clean the debris from the
apartment herself. She is wallowing in
self pity and the thought of helping herself never entered her mind.
The fault for this turn of events lies with the voting
public and the leaders of the Republican Party, the public for allowing to be
fooled and the Republican Party for orchestrating a woefully lame
campaign. There were so many
opportunities to turn the tide and deliver a Romney victory and the Republicans
wasted every one of them. One would
think that they learned something from the previous presidential election. Perhaps the reason is that both political
parties are cut from the same cloth.
Perhaps the Republican Party is not so much a “small government” party
as they claim.
Perhaps they did not fight the Democrats as hard as they
could have because their goals are not that different from the Democrats. Both sides are applauding the “ending of the war in Iraq” and
preparations to “end it” in
Afghanistan. Picking up one’s marbles
and going home is not a good end.
Winning the war is the only acceptable way to end a war, or all the
sacrifices made are in vain. Killing one
leader of the enemy does not mean victory.
No matter how many “victory laps
Obama takes” our enemies are well, alive, growing stronger, a bigger
threat, and danger than ever.
The election is over and this country is in the same mess
it has been for four years. We still
have a socialist front man for the Marxists in our government. The Senate is still under the control Harry
leaving us in a stalemate in Congress. Locally
the Republican Party has been just as ineffective in California. The American people are in denial of the
facts and need to be informed.
No amount of effort in registration and monetary support
will make a difference how the people will vote. We have had several decades of effort wasted
on Republican candidates only to suffer defeat after defeat. Facts, logic, and reason have not
worked. What is needed is an effective
way to educate the public and bring back the spirit that made this a once
great, strong, and prosperous nation. WE
need to appeal to the emotions of the people.
That is the only way we can get more support for our cause. We must show a direct benefit to voting with
us. We must promise better, more
valuable things and deliver to usurp the euphoric promises and scare tactics of
the Democrats. We face a huge and
daunting task that will take time. This
is the only way we can make any headway.
So let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work.
