Yeah that’s the American Spirit...........give up , quit trying. Don’t help. Fatalist to the end oh woe is me......

Anyone who hasn’t the cajones to stick it out to the end needs to shut up and crawl back in their hidy hole and let real Americans battle sedition, socialism and the boogieman. And the end is not the first week of November, regardless of who wins. The end is when ya take that final big dirt nap and get your well earned rest for eternity ! Emphasis on EARNED ~!

FIGHT Damn it !

Fight for what? Another McBama socialist plan to bailout Wall Street plus a new add on plan to shovel out 330 additional billion dollars.

Squantos, I’ll be fighting to the bitter end in this election as you say we must, but this fight, by its very definition, is disheartening on two very grave fronts:

(1) While I’m urging everyone I know not to give up on America, our republican standard bearer already has. His latest compromise (sitting atop a mountain of them, stretching back for more than a decade) with the enemies of liberty took place not ten minutes into the debate on Tuesday night, when he announced that his plan to ‘save the economy’ included buying up all of the bad mortgages and reducing the principal on those mortgages whose home values are now worth less than the mortgage principal. No conservative would ever even conceive of such a blatantly socialist plan, let alone voice it and expect to strengthen the support of his base.

It’s hard to support someone who is actively chipping away at the foundation that you are trying so hard to retain and rebuild.

(2) Daily, the people’s voice is becoming more and more irrelevant. The louder we scream, the softer our voices seem to become.

This entire economic bailout package occurred in spite of the people’s wishes. And additional billions of taxpayer money are being thrown at the problem, and additional chunks of what used to be private enterprise are being gobbled up by the government, virtually on a daily basis, without much fanfare, turning a deaf ear to the people’s voice.

It’s as though the leftists/socialists/globalists among us have finally realized that they can impose whatever ‘rule by edict’ they like on the American citizenry, and there will no longer be sufficient outrage to stop them. Those who are outraged are being drowned out by media who refuse to report, to the generally uninformed masses, the abominable nature of this unprecedented, irreversible power grab, and who choose instead to instill the fear into the electorate that, without granting more power to the government, our life savings will de-materialize before our eyes.

Our voices, and our votes, are becoming irrelevant. The grotesque abuse of power has gained such momentum, and the ignorance of the vast majority of the public has reached such epidemic proportion, that I believe anyone not feeling pretty much helpless right now is suffering a disconnect with reality.

As I said before, I have not ‘given up’. But I have been a student of politics for nearly forty years, and have taken part in much activism – wearing out significant shoe leather in the process – over those four decades, and I have never experienced the terrifying sense of fatalism that I feel as this election approaches.

The American electorate, fearful for their economic future, have allowed themselves to be indoctrinated into the belief that democrats can handle economic issues better than republicans.

Adolf Hitler believed, and urged his ministers of propaganda to always remember, that the receptivity of the masses is limited, their intelligence is small, and they respond well to slogans. The italicized sentence above would have made him proud!

And this simple slogan may well prove to be what heralds Barack Obama’s ascension to the Presidency of the United States, and leader of the free world.

Most tragic of all is the fact that, as bad as our (and the world’s) current economic crisis is, that crisis pales in comparison to the fact that millions of lives will be lost, and millions more will live under the iron fist of tyranny, if Barack Obama becomes leader of the free world. One of the most evil and deceitful men since Adolf Hitler will have been placed in a position where he is expected to defend that which he abhors.
