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

The most ardent partisans cannot accept that their passionate strivings are being used against them. They will smugly sit and giggle about tin-foil hats like so many schoolchildren. I don't think we can stop what has been set in motion, but exploring the idea that our two party system is a sham may lead a few people to take a real stand against both.

As Barry Fitzgerald says in The Quiet Man:

"Well, it's a fine soft night, so I think I'll go and join me comrades and talk a little treason."

My guess is that America keeps moving to the left because True Conservatives(tm) cannot rally around one candidate, and that they cannot let go of the Prescott Bush = Nazi meme.

Because we accept too little.

Instead of calling for the glory days of 4 years ago, we should strive to achieve an America of 40 years ago. (and more)

Absent morality and wisdom the allure of buying things for yourself with someone else’s credit card is powerful.

It's very simple.

Just yell, "FREE STUFF AHEAD!" to the imbeciles of Kardatian Nation.

"You'll give me all that free stuff, just for putting on these shiny bracelets? Really? Thanks! What a deal!"

1. A television/entertainment culture dominated by leftists.

2. Public education run by leftists.

3. Decline in moral character, brought about in part by #1 and #2 above

A long time ago, it was decided that the work week was 40 hours long and 2 weeks of vacation was enough to keep workers refreshed and motivated. We accepted the fact that some of our compensation package would be in benefits rather than money (health care, life insurance, vacation days, etc).

Then, we started automating. And downsizing. And offshoring. And then automation got really good.

We still work a 40 hour work week. Where did all the “labor saving” go? It went into putting American out of work because if you aren’t working 40 hours, you are gone.

We kept the benefits, so it is cheaper to pay your existing workers overtime than it is to hire more people.

So, as more Americans forcibly leave the workforce each year due to efficiency of the machinery, they are left with nothing to depend on but government handouts. Every worker who is laid off is a prime candidate to join the Democrats.

The globalists like the Bush family and Bill Clinton and the Marxists like Obama and Hillary know this fact.

We could put all Americans back to work by simply outlawing overtime. I do a job that was done by three a few years ago (I design and program industrial automation), so I get an obscene amount of OT, but in the interests of the nation I’d give it up right now.

Reducing the work week to 36 hours would also help. Lets give the working Americans some free time and create some jobs for those who are welfare-dependent.

But, this requires sacrifice and in today’s America, sacrifice is what you demand from the Other Guy.

I’m starting to think it’s mind control.

47%. The takers are starting to outnumber the makers.

Four years of Carter shook it up enough to slow it. I thought four years of Obama would do the same. Seems it’ll take at least 8.

The drift from a representative republic to a more pure democracy (mobocracy) along with decline in public morals will almost inevitably mean 51% will confiscate the wealth of and enslave the 49%.

In view of the results of this last election the answer to this question is crystal clear, or at least it should be.

You have an America hating bumbling buffoon who just won re-election by stitching together a coalition of groups who are receiving in one way shape of form a living from the government, at the expense of others who produce.

Of course this has been obvious for years but some things you don't really know until the proof is in front of your nose, and if you'd asked me before last Tuesday I would have guessed that when the time came, in spite of what benefit government provided them personally, a majority of people would choose the obvious best path for the nation.

They didn't & I gotta admit like many I was stunned. Don't think I'll ever see this country & its people the same.

Because the propaganda machines (schools, tv, movies, news) all have a strong left wing bent.

The miracle is that there are any young conservatives at all.

“Americans will be thrilled at the prospect of a return to the prosperous Bush years when Jeb Bush runs and wins in 2016.”

As the Brits would say: “Not bloody likely!”

The libs won’t vote for a Bush, the conservatives won’t vote for a Bush, so who would?
