This is the question that
haunts me. My wife is a true Trump
believer. She is more than willing to
overlook his many character flaws and monstrous ego because his policies make
sense and our country was in far better shape then than it is now. She gets extremely irate when
discussing the irresponsible legislation and regulation that has flowed from
this Democrat Administration of our government.
She literally hates our useful idiot President and all of the liberal
advocates that he has loaded into our government…people who are actually
running our country. She is
convinced that the Democrats literally stole the last election through
improper/illegal voting schemes and refuses to accept that the current
Administration is legitimate. She is
certain that most people…or at least a sufficient number to change the
partisan status of our government…are fed up with this liberal madness like
she is and they will vote to remove them from office. She is normally a relatively calm person, but
discussing politics with her sends her into a minor frenzy where she refuses to
accept the realities of where we are and simply wants to focus on where
we should be.
I live on a farm and most
of my neighbors are farmers. At least two
of my neighbors are life-long Democrats.
I work with them in the hayfields.
We gather up stray cattle when they cross the fence. If their tractor breaks down, they can use my
tractor. They go to church every Sunday
and I would trust them with my children.
They are good people. In
my heart…I know the beliefs and principles that dictate their lives. And yet…even though the Biden Administration
and the legislation passed by the Democrat Congress over the last one and
three-quarter years is anathema to everything that rules their lives and
behavior…there is no doubt in my mind that they will pull the Democrat lever in
the next election. I tell my wife… “They
don’t watch or read the news like you and I; they do not realize the extent of
damage wrought by the Democrats in WDC” …but she is convinced otherwise. She thinks that somehow, after spending a
lifetime of voting Democrat, they have experienced an epiphany and will now
vote Republican. I ask her… “Where is
this epiphany?” They get in their truck
every day. They go to work. They work the farm and the cattle. They eat and sleep. Their lives are not centered around FOX News
or NEWSMAX or the Wall Street Journal. They
might occasionally watch network news, CNN, or MSNBC. They are content to live and let live,
regardless of how screwed up our nation might be. Until things get so bad that the damage attributable
to the Democrats and their liberal bent reaches down to our community and
smacks them in the face, they will not change their voting habits
How many others are out
there like them? How many Democrats and
Independents are oblivious to the harm and hurt that is flowing and will inevitably
continue to flow from a Democrat Administration like we currently have? Despite my hope and frustration…despite the undeniable
truth of her judgment about our President and Congress…I have serious doubts if
there is a sufficient number of Democrats and Independents out there who will
vote Republican. Hell...the
Republicans haven’t even been turning out to vote Republican. She rails
about the big steal and how the Democrats cheated in the last election. She says she that that most folks realize this
happened and they will not allow it to happen again. I ask her… “How do your accusations, whether
real or not, affect the reality of where we are?” I tell her… “The Democrats are in power. The Democrats control our government. More importantly…What have the Republicans
done that will keep the Democrats from cheating once again come November? And to the essential point, you are quite
possibly in the minority of Americans.”
That last one really shakes me.
Sometime over the last year, it has dawned on me, for the first time in
my life…maybe most folks are not like me.
Maybe they don’t adhere to my principles and morals. Maybe “I” am the one that is out of touch,
out of step, and standing in the way of progress? My comfort level of
feeling “normal and average” has been fundamentally challenged. I know one thing for certain…. The Democrats
do not give a damn about how she and I feel.
In their eyes, we are deplorables, homophobes, racists, and threats
to democracy.
In 1964, Burt Bacharach
and Hal David wrote it and Dusty Springfield sang it… “Wishing and hoping,
and singing and praying, planning and dreaming…” will not get it done. If things are going to change, voters will
have to vote Republican in sufficient numbers to wrest control of Congress from
the Democrats. In a couple of years,
they will have to vote for a Republican as President. Are there some idiot Republicans out there
running for Senator or Representative?
Of course, there are! Will
the Republican nominee for President be a flawed individual like Donald Trump
or someone else? It could very well
be! But the cold, harsh reality is
that politics is a numbers game. The
number in the Senate is 51. The number
in the House is 218. The number for
President is 1. If you want to change
our nation. If you want to change our
government. If you want to change our
cultural and societal mores. If you want
to change our lives…then you had better vote Republican. We will get the government we deserve.
Joe Biden is perhaps the
most clueless human that has ever sucked air.
Surrounded by a liberal group of advocates, radicals, and millennials,
he lives in a tiny bubble where he only hears orchestrated comments and
instructions. His reality is formed on
the basis of this input. That input is
designed to manipulate his actions and rhetoric. No one challenges what he says or corrects
his misstatements. If this governing
group of liberals happen to be successful in the implementation of their agenda
(which they are), they are ebullient about the state of affairs in
America. Their reality is defined by
what they wish it be…by how they choose to frame it. They are sufficiently removed and insulated
from the real world so as to foster a carnival atmosphere of nirvana that is
grossly disconnected from the country outside of WDC. They embrace their misconceptions. They evoke their misconceptions. They do not accept challenges, or those who
offer challenges, to their misconceptions.
They refuse to discuss their misconceptions in detail and substance. They willfully spout deception and blatant
dishonesty to support their misconceptions.
Their misconceptions have bizarrely become their reality. A postcard moment representing this
phenomenon is the recent White House garden party featuring Democrat
leadership, various Democrat supporters, and long-time liberal songwriter and
singer James Taylor.
They were not celebrating
a booming and stable economy; there is none. Annual inflation is eating away at working
incomes and poses an even greater danger for the immediate future. They were not celebrating a new-found
sense of federal fiscal sanity. Yes…the
deficit is smaller. But that is a product of billions being previously spent on
pandemic mitigation. The fact is that
profligate federal spending through Democrat legislation has spurred the
inflation rate and is exploding the federal debt. They were not celebrating foreign policy
successes. The clown show that is
the Secretary of State’s purview is laughed at on the world stage, ridiculed by
our enemies, minimized by our allies, and savored by Iran, Russia, and
China. The U.S.A. Store is not sufficiently
stocked for them to give it all away at the rate they are going. They were not celebrating immigration
reform; there hasn’t been any. Their
open border policies have created a myriad of domestic problems that are
effectively being highlighted by some southern Republican governors. They really do not want to discuss
immigration at this time. They want to
celebrate their public and political attempt at executing Donald Trump, but
they would not like to detail exactly how that execution is taking place. They
have weaponized the Department of Justice and are using the FBI as their
personal gestapo. They would just as
soon not talk about their brown-shirt tactics and how they are using them to
shred Constitutional rights of individuals and entities.
So, what exactly
were they celebrating while listening to the crooning of Sweet Baby James? They were celebrating the success they have
realized in passing budget-busting legislation that broadens the reach and
authority of government. They were
celebrating directing billions of dollars to their Party’s supporters at the
expense of most taxpayers. They were
celebrating the enactment of green ideas that have absolutely no supporting
basis in reality. They were
celebrating their effective control of the Department of Justice and how
they are using it to marginalize, demonize, and simply harass their political
enemies. They were celebrating the
halcyonic high they have been on since grasping firm control of the U.S.
government. Their celebration was the
perfect example of how they are effectively unaware of the real environment
that exists today in America and their utter disdain for anyone or anything
that is not a loyal member of their liberal Democrat cabal. They were celebrating themselves. Read the following news items and decide for
yourself: Is this a cause for celebration?
I have talked a lot about
the elections and the consequences thereof.
The moment of truth is rapidly approaching as we near the mid-term
elections. Polls are slanted by those
who finance the polls, so they are inherently unreliable. All each of us knows is confined to our range
of conversation and interaction. The
media are a bunch of fools that are partisan, immoral, unethical, and most
importantly…patently unreliable. We
cannot rely on anything they say or show to us.
We have only our own thoughts, opinions, hopes and guesstimates about
how this election might turn out. The
implications of it are huge; as are many of the circumstances surrounding our
last election.

lunacy than their green ideas…as detailed in their green new deal agenda. Heading into a winter that has loads of
threatening baggage already on board and having an actual energy implosion
occurring in Europe as a result of their own green agenda, the Biden
Administration and the Democrats continue to strangle the American energy
sector and promote their radical, climatista agenda.

Not only have the
Democrats and the Biden Administration single-handedly created the inflation
storm we are currently weathering; they insist upon feeding energy into it so
it might grow and threaten even greater pain and suffering. These people are not economists. These people have never been held responsible
for a budget. Do you even suppose these
people ever paid their own bills?
Balance a checkbook? We have a
bunch of fiscal illiterates controlling our American economy.

The entire U.S.
government is the playground of the Democrats and Joe Biden. They use it in that fashion and they treat it
with no regard for the integrity and independence it SHOULD BE adhering
to. Their blatant abuse of the
Department of Justice in pursuit of Trump and their own personal agenda items
is a damning indictment of their political ruthlessness and disregard for
honest and open government.

Eastern Europe is in
turmoil. China is in bed with
Russia. Iran is threatening everyone on
the planet. South Korea and China
continue to eye their neighbors with envy.
And the most powerful nation in the world, the most capable stabilizing
force for peace in this world, is led by a senile old fool who is controlled by
a bunch of college-grade foreign policy experts. What can we expect from this bunch of geniuses?

The introduction of
literal pornography into our schools is an outrage; but we should not be
shocked. It is the expected progression
of the liberal activists who have not only seized control of our American
education system, but have acted through that control to indoctrinate our nation’s
youth with their agenda. Our schools…EVERY
aspect of our schools…are in crisis.
Parents have a short window to act if they are to save future
generations from bizarre and outrageous training and instruction.

Consider the difference
between the America we knew during the pre-covid years of President Donald
Trump and the America we know today.
Consider the policies and agendas of the Republicans and the
Democrats. They all like to talk the
talk, but do they walk the walk?
Which Party provides the best future for you and your family? Which Party best respects the blueprint that
is established for the government of this country by the Constitution? Listen to leaders of each Party and pay
attention to the actions of these leaders.
Americans still have a choice.
