There are more of US Than Them - And They Know It

Too often as I read commentary on this and other blog site, I notice a sense gloom and doom. Some try to disguise it as snarky comments. But what may surprise you is that our opponents are the minority. We out number them, and have more power. The only reason we don’t see it is because they have organized and are continuing. We for the most part, have not. So here’s a little anecdotal information that may convince some of you that all is not lost.

How did the country get into this condition?

The Immigration Act of 1965.

Nicely done, jimjohn.

Go elect a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff in your county. That will give the legal and armed muscle to defeat leftists in your community.

Since you already insulted me, I’ll take a chance on a compassionate reply and say I wrote in Ted Cruz, a man who once was liked a little better than Hillary.

I still like Ted Cruz, and I was for him at the beginning. I even snickered and made jokes when Donald J. Trump announced his candidacy. However, when I saw Donald Trump in action I said this is the man we need. Ted Cruz would have wilted by now, if he were electable, but he wasn't. Support was not there beyond the very conservative of our base.

But do you not realize that what you really did was cast a vote for Hillary? Ted Cruz was not going to win, thus you wasted your vote, and in the process took away a vote from Donald J. Trump.

I'm sorry that interpreted my question as insulting you, that was not my intention. However, I was right even if you did not actually cast your vote for Hillary. Instead of thinking of this as an insult, think of this as a learning moment.

I voted for both John McCain & Romney, even though I could not stand either one, because a vote for someone else (who had no chance of winning), or sitting out the election was tantamount to voting for Barack Obama, something I could not allow myself to do.

The ones I’ve seen had to do with keeping his name off the primary ballot, which wouldn’t make much difference as the nominee is picked at the convention. So it would be just a gesture of contempt, and that’s leftism for you.

I thought so, too, but I’m pledging to ignore rants.

One small quibble.

Free Republic is NOT a blog site. It is a FORUM.

A blog site is a one-to-many communications mechanism; a forum is many-to-many COMMUNITY.

See the difference?

I taught computer science for many years. This is a distinct difference.

Perhaps I thought that your assuming I voted for Hillary was wince time for me. Perhaps because I’m female...which would make me stupid.

“I notice a sense gloom and doom.”

Agree 100%. Thank you for your .02 cents.
Why the gloom and doom? Because complaining is a great way to get rid of stress.

Croakers wants to croak even thought it is empty and useless.

The biggest problem is a lack of good candidates who want to run.

Can’t vote for someone who doesn’t want the job.

while there are stupid women, and men for that matter, the fact that you are here means you can't number among the stupid. 8>)

I didn't assume anything, which is why I posed it as a question. 8>)

As for a learning experience, at 67 I try to continue learning. No one can possess all all knowledge, so there is no one that can't learn something new. Now you have learned that a protest vote only aides the opposition. Hey at least you didn't vote for Evan McMullin, LOL.

It is not doom and gloom for conscious conservatives who have been paying attention for more than half a century. It is a dispassionately realistic assessment of the situation, not a Pollyanna Pie-In-The-Sky fantasy.

There are emphatically not more of us in the halls of power: academia, media, bureaucracy.

The Frankfurt School has promulgated their infiltration efficiently and effectively for nearly a century, while conservatives have mostly minded their own business in the private sector.

The more people like you resort to glibly disrespectful name calling, the more you expose yourselves as shallow and unaware - like cocky adolescents who think they are so much wiser than adults.

I would bet that I have done more to promote real conservatism in the real world, going back to my teens, both in and out of Christian ministry, than either of you.

Democrats are trying every trick in the book - and then some... But my guess is anything contested will wind up in court - and if it goes far enough it’ll go to the Supreme Court.

A Supreme Court that’s conservative...

Incredible!

You deserve respect and deference.

Truly a giant among men.

Just amazing.

Good post. I hope that you pointed your family to beautiful Candace Owens so that she can continue to draw them away from liberal bondage.

Free Republic is my first stop to check the news. Then, if I have time for youtube, I visit Black Conservative Patriot who I highly recommend. He is very optimistic and clear thinking.
