Just had a long discussion with my son about the state of America, and about the DC media cabal’s effect on Congress-critters who were elected because they were decent and seemed to understand what needs to be done. We send good people to DC and once they get in the culture where they try to get in good with the liars in the media, it rots them from the outside in.
That’s why we can’t fix DC without also addressing the lawlessness and corruption in the media, law enforcement, and courts. That’s why my goal is not necessarily to get rid of Obama, but to create a system of real accountability where even if we got a crook like Obama in office, he would be powerless to tear this nation apart.
It’s sort of like the terrorist thing. When a terrorist succeeds you use that experience to learn how to make that never be able to happen again, because there will ALWAYS be another terrorist trying to get on the airplane, and there will always be terrorists who actually make it onto the airplane. The point is to have the system be able to correct itself so that the terrorist can never be successful.
Obama is basically the equivalent of a terrorist who made it into the White House. Not only do we need to get him out of there before he blows up this whole nation, we need to figure out how he was able to get there, and change our system so we can identify and prevent somebody like him from ever again getting access to blow up the country. And we need to figure out how to keep him or anybody else like him from being able to blow up the country even if he gets in the plane/WH.
This is Homeland Security 101. We have no functioning DHS right now because when an impostor gets into the White House he gets to stack the deck against America, against accountability, against the Constitution.
We need to educate Congress on how critical their role of approving appointees is. That cannot ever afford to be pooh-poohed. We CANNOT AFFORD to have anti-Americans in regulatory or law enforcement positions. It is too critical to our entire system to allow hacks to take over those roles.
And - getting back to your post - we have to neuter the crooked media. There is a class of people who believe everything CNN tells them. They don’t hear anything but that and it suits them fine because they like the status quo. I told my son that our job is to convince our neighbors, as winsomely as possible, that they need to know the truth before it’s too late. This eligibility issue, when it finally breaks open, will reveal to everyone just how crooked the media powers-that-be really are, and how dangerous it is.
Somebody mentioned the Saudis owning all our media. I don’t know if that’s accurate or not, but if it is that tells us all we really need to know. If we allow that to happen, this nation is suicidal.
And that’s why I’m gonna put in a plug here for everybody to pitch in for Free Republic. I finally talked to my husband about pitching in here, and he was OK with $10/month. It’s not much, but it’s what we can do. I just put it to pay on PayPal and now I feel tons better and we’ll just eat PBJ sandwiches instead of meat for a couple meals each month. Maybe I’ll call it Freeper PBJ Night or something.
We need a voice that is independent of the Saudis and Soros. Period. If we give that up, the nation is history.
As difficult as it has been for any true American to tolerate the current administration, I shutter to think what would happen if we didn’t have
1. God
2. Free Republic
What a beautiful, eloquent and powerful post. Wow; I wish there was a Freeper Hall of Fame for great posts: I would nominate this one.
Butter, I don’t have time to reply to the magnificent points you made, I regret to say. I will just say this. Obots, Dems and trolls, look at this post. This is what it’s all about. This is why we’re going to win. We are fighting for the heart of this great nation, and as long as patriots like Butter are in our corner, victory is a foregone conclusion.
You people are fighting not for America as she was founded, but for a weaseling Marxist narcissist. He is a petty man, yet he is destroying this singularly great Republic from within. And you trolls dare to come to FR and try to prop him up. Well just read this post, and get a glimpse of what a true patriot looks like. You trolls and the small man you support are doomed; you just don’t know it yet. The battle is not to the mean, the rude, the conniving and the shameless; it is to those who know the full value of what we’re fighting for. And that is the patriots—not the Obamabots.
Bravo, Butter. Thanks for putting such sentiments out for all to see. Your post is a rallying cry. Thanks for all you do, and please, keep up the good work.
