This is about far more than one politician or a couple voting cycles. This goes way back and has been building for decades. We as a nation allowed murder of the innocent for 40 yrs, we have ignored ever suppressive .gov encroaching on freedom at every level, we have allowed the marxists to dictate the debate and repeatedly sent spineless politicians to defend our rights while they only lined their own pockets. Had we as a nation defended our freedom against domestic enemies with the same zeal and determination set upon Japan, Germany or USSR we would not be in this position. My friends we can say “ I did not vote for the man” but it doesn’t relieve us of all the other things we did or did not do over a life time. There should be no way in hell a few hundred sleezy politicians could ride rough shod over 300 million free americans. But we as a nation have allowed it. And now we face the natural progression of apathy and inaction. We have sold our birthright of freedom for quiet nights by the fire hoping some one else will carry the burden. The only question is does america go quietly into that dark night or is there enough blood of our forefathers still running thru the veins to restore freedom and cast out the demon that is overtaking the land of the free.....
Even when someone like Robert Welch, who was quite an accomplished person - check out his biography - I did a paper on him in college to the consternation of my professor; who founded the John Birch Society.
He was ridiculed from the beginning and had government agent provocateurs sent in multiple times to frame him for being an extremist and a racist. Billboards were taken out to declare they were crazy and evil and his books were blacklisted and not sold in bookstores across the country after Welch took out full page adds in major papers for exposure.
Plenty of conservatives to this day will pile on and say he was a crank and full of it and as bad a the Westboro Baptist church (which I would put forth the hypothesis that they are nothing but a agent provocatuer supported by left wing elitist foundation or government sponsorship to make Christians seem like hateful extremists - why all the press and crazy actions of a handful of leftist lunatics who seem to have plenty of funds and stay out of trouble).
I know - Welch and the JBS called Eisenhower and all the famous insider Washington wise men of WWII complicit and knowing traitors helping communism around the world and setting up America for eventual unity the world into a communist superstructure. I’ve read the book on Eisenhower and I think there is more than enough evidence when looking at the sources and footnotes all from mainstream newspapers and public documents to make a convincing case. Americans would rather have adult myths and fairy tales than accept difficult truths of our past and leaders.
I think history and posterity if they do their homework in a free America of the future would vindicate the JBS and Welch as being on the ball and correct about 90% and plus of their views and analysis of 20th century politics and economics and related treasonous actions of various people.
Unfortunately if any comparable group were to arise today - which I doubt, the closest thing is the Tea Party which is too scattered and amorphous and already co-opted by those who would use it as controlled dissent or controlled opposition as was done in the Soviet Union and likely other communist hellholes.
