"It is the mark of our whole modern history that the masses are kept quiet with a fight. They are kept quiet by the fight because it is a sham-fight; thus most of us know by this time that the Party System has been popular only in the sense that a football match is popular."
____ G.K. Chesterton - A Short History of England
A sham-fight? How true since the early 1960's when conservative Barry Goldwater lost his bid for the presidency. The Democratic Party continued moving further to the extreme left, elitist establishment me-too Republicans were delighted to follow. During President G.W. Bush’s last four years, both political parties supported bigger government and massive deficits. But nothing like the nightmare that followed.
In one year Obama’s promise of change became a national nightmare, the yearly deficit tripled and massive deficit spending continues out of control. New legislation and appointments of pro homosexual and anti-Christian activists threaten our personal and religious freedom.
Our children and grandchildren face a possible irreversible financial calamity and religious persecution. Is all lost, of course not. It will, however, take our prayers and political action.
Where do we to turn politically, me-too Republicans? To regain middle-America’s trust and support, Republican leadership must "Repent" of their fiscal irresponsibility. Admit the years of President G.W. Bush's Administration were years of massive deficits, bigger government, and weakening the dollar to benefit the few at the expense of the many.
I know this is hard for many, admit with or without weapons of mass destruction, Iraq presented no military threat to America and her citizens anymore than Yugoslavia posed a threat to America when President Clinton bombed Yugoslavia and her citizens. Is Iraq better off now, for a majority of Iraq’s citizens possibly so, thanks to the sacrifices of our men and women in the military and their families. For Iraq’s Christians the answer so far has been definitely no. Time will tell.
America must remain strong militarily, but not to attack nations who do not militarily threaten our safety. If we must go to war, pull out all stops and let our military win and end it. No more Korean, Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghan, or other prolonged or no-will to win wars.
Republican or Democrat? Let us support the party or candidate that says no, "No" to big government, "No"to more debt, "No" to secular socialism. What does the candidate stand against? It is time we just said "No"
"No" to attacking nations who do not pose a direct military threat to our Nation. Yes to maintaining a strong well-financed voluntary military and let the world know we will use our power justly, swiftly, and totally if needed.
"No" to Democrat vs. me-too Republican sham-fights. Yes to a choice when we vote.
"No" to ever more taxes, debt, bailouts, and other federal boondoggles. Yes to government fiscal responsibility. Yes to rolling back taxes and government programs and controls.
"No" to further destruction of the dollar to benefit a few at the expense of the many. Yes to making the dollar once again strong, a strong dollar means a strong and prosperous America for all Americans.
"No" to big government. Government’s primary function is to protect the citizen’s God given right to life, liberty, and property. Yes to restricting our Federal Government to its Constitutional functions: to protect her citizens from external attack and equal administration of the law.
"No" to so called international nation building. Yes to building our own nation.
"No" to open borders. Yes to legal immigration for those who wish to obey our laws and support American values.
"No"to pseudo diversity, giving into the loud shrill voice of bulling tiny minorities at the expense of the majorities right to freedom of religion and speech. Yes to proclaiming Biblical standards and moral absolutes in the marketplace.
"No" to political correctness and its special treatment of sexual deviates and other special classes. Yes to calling things as they are and running those politicians of either party who refuse to do so out of office.
"No" to legalizing smoking, sniffing, or shooting up drugs—further anaesthetizing young America. Yes to promoting self discipline and personal responsibility.
"No" to government sanctioned envy, greed, and sexual immorality. Yes to the Ten Commandments.
"No" to judges, politicians, public officials who seek to create a socialistic and secular moral vacuum. Yes to voting them out, recalling them, impeaching them, or firing them.
"Yes" to men and women with strong Judeo-Christian convictions, and the intestinal fortitude to stand up and speak out for those convictions, men and women willing to be involved in the political process. By influencing public opinion and through prayer we can change a nation.
