The question we won't ask: Why does the U.S. keep moving to the left?
Vanity | 11/12/2012 | Dr. Thorne

Posted on 11/12/2012 1:27:35 PM PST by Dr. Thorne

Has anyone bothered to ask the question: Why do we keep getting the same results in every election? I don't mean Republican vs. Democrat. I mean that the U.S. keeps moving to the left regardless of who is in power. That includes Bush I and Bush II.

The reason is so simple that most people can't see it. We only have one party. It may have two wings, but it is one party. The people who control the Democrats also control the Republicans and the various Congressional firefights and election brouhahas are essentially staged for the benefit of the great unwashed from sea to shining sea.

Ever wonder why Kennedy was shot and Clinton wasn't? Reagan was shot and Bush wasn't? Clinton and both Bushes are among the Harvard/Yale/Princeton elite who make the decisions.

Kennedy started to believe his own reviews, i.e. Camelot, etc. He was arrogant and thought he could do what he wanted and the powers that be couldn't touch him. In Dallas, Texas he found out he was wrong.

Reagan was forced to accept George H.W. Bush as his running mate regardless of the fact that Reagan couldn't stand him. Reagan was shot just 69 days into his presidency by the son of one of G.H.W. Bush's best friends, fellow oilman John Hinckley Sr. Had Reagan died, Bush would have been president. But, the elite are nothing if not patient.

He eventually became president anyway until it was time to put the even more sickeningly immoral Bill Clinton into office. Ever wonder why Bush lost to a philandering dumbass from Arkansas? George didn't care. He knew his son was next in line to the throne and would expand the government beyond any president in history, putting in place the DHS machinery that could surveil and control the populace. George the First learned well at the knee of his father, the Nazi collaborator Prescott Bush.

Obama is now doing the bidding of the global elite who seek a one-world government. Of course, you can't have a one-world government without the only remaining superpower on board. And, if that superpower is truly super and dominates the world, why would it's citizens agree to a one-world government? Our economy will keep sliding down the economic spiral of unemployment and debt until everyone truly hates Obama. He may be flying high now, but he's a sacrificial lamb being led to the altar of world government.

Americans will be thrilled at the prospect of a return to the prosperous Bush years when Jeb Bush runs and wins in 2016. By then, we will be willing to accept the panacea of a global currency as the dollar will be close to worthless. And, if a capitalist like Jeb Bush says it's OK, well what alternative is there?

We are being played like a Stradivarius and will continue on the path to our own destruction until we accept the truth that, as George Wallace said, "they ain't a dime's worth of difference between 'em." And we saw what happened to him, didn't we? As my Dad would say, "They sure settled his hash."

I think you are over-thinking this one. No massive secret conspiracy required.

Our culture-creating organs have been almost entirely controlled by leftists for 50 years. Elections are merely expressions of the popular will, which is largely formed by the culture.

We are just seeing the consequences of 50 years of the Right ignoring the culture while focusing on politics. It worked for a while and we had some victories, notably the (possibly temporary) defeat of Communism. But we are now beginning to pay the price for abandoning the culture.

1)Because the Conservatives are civilized and refuse to brake the law.

Even for our children, and grandchildren.

2)Because Conservatives still believe things will change at the ballot box. So we wait, and wait, and wait.

3)Because Conservatives are not hurting enough, and do not feel threatened enough to stop the commie leviathon.

You are correct.

I was pretty active campaigning for Rob Steele for 1 of 2 seats on the University of Michigan board of regents but people clearly weren’t interested in “meaningless” seats like that so we put two former union officials in those seats. Steel finished 3rd over 5 other candidates.

For those who don’t know. Rob Steel is the tea partier who ran a late entry race against John Dingell and forced him to spend millions defending the throne.

It is the natural thing for democracies to do, and the reason the founders set up a republic and not a democracy.

1)The education system, either by design, inertia, or union incompetence, is failing (I am the product of a not-affluent public school system and a pedestrian public college, and I am shocked to continually find I am WAAAAAAY better educated than the typical 30-and-under who is wandering about out there)

2)Various capitalists, particularly in the banking sector, don’t seem to appreciate the support that capitalism has had in this country. Hence they push the edge of the envelope into areas that much of the public finds repulsive.
Sooner or later calls from the Elizabeth Warren-types to take them to the woodshed find an audience.

3)Leftists have undertaken a very calculated, patient long-term strategy to embed themselves in academia, media and law, and this 100-year effort is now paying dividends.

4)Younger people who did not grow up with the bogeyman of oppressive Communism on the other side of the pond do not understand why it is bad, and seem stunningly open to the idea of a big nanny government and a planned economy.

5)Appeals to race hatred and class jealousy sadly do work, and have always worked throughout human history.

It’s a lot simpler than that, if you study the philosophical school of material dialecticism. Anything that exists can change and it usually does so by giving rise to its complete opposite. We’re just at a point where the dialectical steamroller is gathering speed.

Is it better to receive half a loaf of bread for doing nothing or to work and earn a whole loaf?

Here is my question: why do polls show that Americans think that 25% of Americans are gay when polls of actual gays indicate that less than 3% of Americans are gay?

Answer my question and you answer yours.

Because it’s easier to do less and grow to be satisfied with what’s being handed out vs taking risks, engaging in hard work and still possibly failing.

I have been saying this for years...

When Democrats are in control, their agenda progresses quickly.

When Republicans are in control, the Democrat agenda still progresses just not as fast.

Democrats are united and dont care about what the other half thinks of their actions. The Republicans never publicly stand up for their agenda, because they are too concerned about public opinion and being labled as obstructionists, racists, etc.

If the entire R party would use their bully pulpets all the time and stand up for their core values, things would be different.

Thats easy. Everyone that isn’t a white man, has been instructed to hate white men and they do! Except some married white gals. Then, after they accept the premise that white men are the reason for anything and everything bad on the planet, they vote for the anti-white man party.

Meanwhile white guys are shaking their head thinking “what the hell? you’re all going to starve!”

‘You thinketh too much. Such men are dangerous’. You are not supposed to say that layoffs create Democrats when the spinners claim layoffs create Republicans. This election blew their minds. But victims of really bad economies, vote for government. FDR figured that out.

Actually when people start making good money again working for private industry, they will vote Republican. I like Ike. He figured it out. Create jobs, Boehner, be a hero.

Simple, over 1M new third world legal immigrants going straight on the dole. Year after year, every year. I saw the picture of new immigrants taking the oath of citizenship in Minneapolis. I was stunned how many of the women were wearing Habibs.
