America Wiped Out At The Ballot Box
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
*********
As
I read reports over the past week that showed Obama up by several points over
Romney, I can't say that I was stunned or surprised. One must understand that Obama is running only
against Romney while Romney is running against Obama, the Mainstream Media, AND left-leaning pollsters.
This
is NOT a new phenomena. It has been
going on for as long as we have had presidential elections, which is to say,
from the very beginning of our country.
Today,
however, with all the advances in communications -- and-- with our mainstream
media (for the most part) having dropped all pretense of unbiased reporting,
any presidential candidate not from the political left will find himself (or
herself) being pummeled unmercifully by the mainstream media while, at
the same time, they build up the leftist candidate AND cover-up any short comings
of THEIR candidate by simply not reporting anything that might, in any way,
show their candidate in a bad light.
That,
of course, only partially explains why Obama's numbers are up over
Romney's at this critical juncture in the campaign cycle.
Another,
and probably the most important contributing factor, is STARK IGNORANCE on
the part of the American electorate.
Look.
A bright, sentient, electorate would have admitted they had been suckered in
2008 when they voted for Obama and vowed not to support him again in the 2012
election.
But
that's not happening.
Instead,
the same people who were dumb enough to vote for Obama in 2008, seem ready,
willing, and chomping at the bit to get to a ballot box and cast their ballot a
second time for a smooth talking conman who is set on stealing their
liberty and their freedom and transforming America into a socialist/communist
dung heap.
OR
--
Roughly
50% of this nation's electorate are already socialist/communists sailing under false colors.
Honestly?
I think it is BOTH.
I
once wrote that “One can only conclude
that America finds herself in the current mess as a direct result of ignorance.
“Ignorance of what,” you
ask? I must answer, “Ignorance of
practically everything."
Ignorance of America’s colorful political history, and that of the world, is much to blame
for the Obama Regime’s continued acceptance by vast numbers of Americans.
Ignorance of history, as
well as of current events, among the populace of any country, can lead to
consequences that are truly awful. Take
the election of America’s first socialist government, for instance.
The election of 2006 turned
our national legislature into a socialist machine bent on creating an
even stronger central government with all the power it could grasp. Then, in 2008, the capstone of socialist
victory in American politics was the election of Barack Hussein Obama. He promised fundamental change in America. The politically savvy in America understood that OBAMA MEANT TO LEAD AMERICA INTO OUT AND OUT SOCIALISM. AND HE DID!
Even now, the average
democrat voter will deny the existence of a socialist government in America today. They simply do not
recognize it -- or -- they are telling a bald-faced lie! Assuming their
ignorance, I am convinced that that ignorance stems from the fact that they
were not taught the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the genius of
America’s founders, and the love of a free constitutional republic that led
their ancestors to lay down their lives to protect and preserve the freedom
granted by that constitution. That is ignorance the lethality of which
cannot be measured. And that ignorance is
costing America
its freedom.
Since
the election of Barack Hussein Obama, America has gone into something
akin to a death spiral. The great
CONSTITUTIONAL representative republic began circling the drain at an ever
increasing speed in January of 2009. It
has only gotten worse since.
I
don't believe Americans yet understand that America is about to become
extinct. Americans, themselves, are
killing off their country. America's communist enemies
couldn't beat us on the battlefield -- but they are wiping us out at the
ballot box.
What
we Americans are experiencing today is the intentional destruction of
everything those patriotic Americans who came before us gave their lives and,
yes, their life's blood, to build and then preserve on countless battlefields
here at home and around the globe. Two
hundred and thirty-six years of hard won battles -- both of ideas and blood --
are being tossed onto the ash heap of history in exchange for an ideology that
has failed every single time it has been tried -- and -- has led to
millions of deaths at the hands of their
governments, millions dead of starvation, millions locked away in gulags
or exiled from their homes and families,
all the while living with deep dark paranoia that the free world is ever
seeking to complete their destruction. (As in the Democratic People's Republic
of North Korea.) THIS IS WHAT IS IN STORE FOR AMERICA!
Just
days ago, I had a conversation with a conservative friend who is convinced the
election is un-winnable for Romney. In
fact, he said, only an "act of God" would give Mr. Romney ANY CHANCE
of winning in November. Pressed by me to
explain why he feels that way, he despondently told me that he had concluded
that America has already gone too deeply into socialism to extract herself. He
said he feels the only chance America has is to hit bottom, to
collapse as a country, and, hopefully, those Americans left alive can try and
build a new America from the ashes. But (and he made sure I understood) he
said, the NEW America, if indeed, there
is one, will NOT resemble the old.
America, as WE know it, is done.
Depressing? You bet!
I've been mulling his words ever since and I must tell you, as I watch
America following the "Pied Piper of America's Destruction," I have
to conclude that my friend may well be more prescient than is comfortable for
me. You see, he may be among the very
few who understand the significance of currently unfolding events in America
today.
A
few days earlier, while discussing the selection of Paul Ryan as Romney's
running mate, a conservative democrat friend (NOT an Obama supporter)
told me, flat-out, that he didn't believe Romney could beat Obama even if
Romney had Jesus as his running mate! HE was even more despondent than
the friend I mentioned above.
For
236 years America has been that "Shining City On A Hill," a beacon to
all the peoples of the world, not for all the liberal hand-outs, not for the
"fairness" of socialism, not for socialized medicine -- NO. It has been none of this that drew the best
and brightest from around the world to these shores. They came for two
reasons. They came because America offered individual freedom
and individual liberty -- two of the rights granted by God and guaranteed by
the constitution -- not the government. It was THIS ideology that made America the
greatest nation on earth.
Now
we seem intent on replacing these rights with socialism, for
which the code word(s) "fair or fairness" is/are being used as
camouflage.
America
cannot be destroyed on the battlefield, but she can be wiped-out at the
ballot box. May we suggest you
remember that in November?
