Quick rant here, as I need to get home to catch the game.
I listened to the entire Rush show today -- I don't do that very often -- and I was beside myself at a) how blatant the antics of the left are to outright steal the election -- it's as if there's not even an attempt to be smooth about it -- and b) how cool Rush was in reporting it. I'd have been ranting.
Still, I don't think it's sunk in how dirty the left is. Imagine SEIU "maintaining" voting machines O.M.G.
And Rush is brilliant as ever. Really, what a gift he is. He's like a freelance conservative political strategist.
And, he happened to say some thing that you'll note has been posted here often by yours truly: 1. That if the left accuses us of doing something, it's likely (I say it's axiomatic) that they're doing it themselves, and 2) with regard to 1) he was talking about a caller's report that tons of foreign money is going to unions.
Of course, your humble tih has provided a clear roadmap of one very large source of that money here.
Today the reporting on Christie's courageous decision to pass on the sequel to The Big Dig (that of Boston notoriety) was repleat with mentions of how many jobs won't be created as a result his insistence of fiscal sanity.
Yes, the money for that project could very well have come from the source I cited; and it was reported that the government attempted to bribe him with even more funds if he'd do the deal.
You see, they tried to create jobs (union jobs) and one of those darned republicans wouldn't let them.
Congratulations, Gov. Christie.
And it's nice to validated by non other than Rush.
Sounds a bit worshipful actually.
Rush is an American blessing. I remember, I was around 22? 23? Someone I cared deeply about was “ranting” about this “idiot” named Rush Limbaugh. “WHO is Rush Limbaugh?” I naively asked, and finally tuned in to find out for myself. Was it really so long ago? Ah... what an enlightenment. He has taught a generation the amazing truth and power of conservatism.
If you look at the elected Democrat officials and those seeking office, I have no respect for them as individuals irrespective of their political philosophy. They are allowed to do what they want (lie, steal, cheat, etc) with little political effect as the media looks the other way. I see many of them as high school nerds that nobody liked, but were able to endure the political process until they gained a position of power.
Without principles, they work together like of pack of wolves. Anything for a win.
There is so much corruption in politics that we really need to clean house and find quality candidates that will work for all Americans and its exceptionalism.
Obviously, there are problems in the Republican ranks too.
A long time ago the Black Avenger Ken Hamblin was on the radio....This Dem Congressman warned of this in 1944!
Instead of reading Stop Australia Going Under, it should read Stop AMERICA FROM GOING UNDER.
Stop Australia Going Under
Reprinted from political ad in the Western Australian Sunday Times, December 3, 1995
In 1944, Democratic U.S. Congressman Samuel Pettengill warned America that socialists would endeavor to have the U.S. spend itself into bankruptcy, with a view to making citizens totally dependent on a centralized government.
Pettengill detailed TEN POINTS of the socialist manifesto that would destroy free government. Almost 50 years later, down under in Australia, it is disturbing to reflect on Pettengill’s 10 points.
1) People must be made to feel their utter helplessness and their inability to solve their own problems. While in this state of mind, there is held up before them a benign and all-wise leader to whom they MUST look to the cure for all their ills.
2) The principle of local self-government must be WIPED OUT, so that this leader or group in control can have all the political power readily at hand.
3) Constitutional guarantees must be swept aside. This accomplished in part by RIDICULING them as outmoded and an obstruction to progress.
4) Public faith in the legal profession and respect for the courts must be undermined. The law making body must be intimidated and from time to time rebuked, so as to prevent the development of public confidence in it.
5) Economically, the people must be ground down by high taxes, which under one pretext or another they are called upon to pay. Thus they are brought to a common level and all income above a meager living is taken from them. In this manner, economic independence is kept to a minimum.
6) A great public debt must be built so the citizens can never escape its burden, making government the virtual receiver for the entire nation.
7) A general distrust of private business and industry must be kept alive so the public may not begin to rely on its own resources.
8) Government bureaus are set up to control practically every phase of the citizen’s lives.
9) The education of the youth of the nation is taken under CONTROL so that all may be indoctrinated at an early age with a spirit of submission to the system.
10) To supplement and fortify all the foregoing, there is kept up a steady stream of GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA designed to extol all who bow the knee and to vilify those who dare raise a voice of dissent.

oy. you better check again.
You know, this is a mouthful, because there seems to be an instinct for destruction that they share. It is why all al Quaeda needs to do is propagandize, and ne'er do-wells appear from out of nowhere, unbidden, to wreak destruction for "the cause" (hunh, interesting how al Quaeda the political left in the US seem to fit so well together in the same conversation).
I think there is a complete theological description of the mechanisms involved but that's another discussion.
Suffice it to say that your description is spot-on. They are deconstructionist, and worship only power -- that basically renders them animals.
