If, God forbid, the Hildabeast wins, it will be because the stupid bastards out there who voted for her are beyond salvation and, ergo, AMERICA — the IDEA — is DEAD and our slow descent into the dustbin of history has reached its destination.
Ya’ know, as I wrote that, a thought again crossed my alleged mind that often nagged me during the 40+ years I’ve spent away from making a living, enjoying my family, boating, going to the beach, etc.: Are these stupid bastards who waved their hand dismissively and smirked when I tried to tell them that we’d wind up in a very bad place if we didn’t pay more attention to our civic affairs WORTH THE EFFORT?
But I always came back to the reality that I was — and my dozens of like-minded friends were — doing this for OUR loved ones. If we succeeded and millions of the disconnected, uninvolved bastards who hadn’t lifted a hand or, worse, were, themselves, part of the problem, were dragged along, so be it.
Let me conclude this with two quotes and a short video I made.
“A nation of well-informed men, who have been taught to know and to prize the rights God has given them, cannot be enslaved. IT IS IN THE REGION OF IGNORANCE THAT TYRANNY BEGINS.” Benjamin Franklin
“As life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he be involved in the action and passion of his time LEST HE BE JUDGED NEVER TO HAVE LIVED”. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
And the foolish little video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIo8FJJMps8
(There were audible guffaws from the audience around 1:31. They didn’t believe Newt either.)
PS: I’m pretty sure that Trump locked this thing up on 6/12 and believe that one or two more Orlandos will render the coup-de-grace to the Hildabeast.
In fact, Trump has already beat Hillary because he has and continues to beat Obama daily.
Hillary is only excrement of the Obama administration. She couldn't beat him (Obama) so she is going to try to continue his FAILED legacy.
Forget it Hill...it's over.
It was right at the start of her history of the period, written soon after the Revolution was won.
She said that when the Declaration and the first battles happened, the whole concept of Independence and the United States was just a 'done deal' in everyone's mind... by "everyone" I mean the fraction of patriots who made it, especially, and to a lesser extent, the Loyalists, and, last, the gloms who just kind of went along with whatever happened.
Long-term obedience to the Crown was just not ever gonna happen.
Stick a fork in it.
Now Trump's time has come, and he follows naturally from the hippy era, followed by the reform of the Reagan era, and the wholesale corruption of the Clinton era, to the wimp-dumbass-GOPe nation-building and nebulous worthlessness of the Bush era, to now, when we have a denouement where the Uniparty is revealed to all, in its glory, and the deep abiding rot of all branches of Government is exposed.
The time has come for deep, deep reform, and Trump will deliver.
The other side is just having a few gasps of agonal breathing, as their cause and argument dies away.
I had the same vibe on election eve 1980, when the whole country was just sick and fed up with Wimp Carter and the way we were being jerked around by the Iranians.... and much of the rest of the world, for that matter.
This period has the SAME vibe as that agonal gasp of the leisure-suit-wearing, yellow-ribbon-tying Carterian losers.
Go Trump!
