At the risk of being labeled an inveterate pessimist, as we approach what may prove to be the most critical election day in our republic’s history, I cannot help but feel a sense of discouragement about America’s future (accompanied, of course, by the knowledge that He works in miracles, so nothing is ever hopeless).
As I see it, we will witness one of three likely outcomes of the November 2nd vote:
(1) If the election is close, the thousands of leftist trial lawyers hired by the DNC and/or Kerry/Edwards, who are already gearing up to take this election out of the hands of the American citizenry and place it in the hands of activist judges, will shift into high gear, and begin an all-out effort to use a combination of validating massive voter fraud, and fabricating pseudo-legal accusations against Bush/Cheney forces, to steal this election. They are preparing to make Florida 2000 look like a romp in the park.
I find it fascinating, although certainly not out of character for these supposed defenders of truth and justice, that they and their kind despise and defile Richard Nixon, whose only major offense was the attempted cover-up of a third-rate political burglary. And yet, faced with the prospect of unveiling blatant voter fraud in Illinois and Texas, without which he may well have been the victor over Kennedy in ’60, Nixon, rather than contest the votes in those highly suspicious precincts vote counts, passively accepted the highly questionable results. The reason: he did not want to put our republic through the kind of cataclysmic Constitutional crisis that would have ensued.
Fast forward forty-four years and we have the same party that was the source of the questionable vote counts in both Chicago and Houston/Dallas, not only not seeking to avoid such a Constitutional crisis, but scheming feverishly, days before the votes are even cast, to see to it that one occurs. Why? Because they are enemies of the Constitution, and will stop at nothing to see to it that an ultra leftist (who, by definition, harbors no allegiance to anything but a globalist utopian agenda) sits in the White House. The Constitution … and America’s sovereignty and security … be damned.
If Tuesday sees the above scenario, we may not know the results of this election until well into the month of December, when the electoral college must meet to choose the new leader of the free world.
(2) If Kerry/Edwards are victorious on the 2nd, the voters of America (although probably not a majority of them – since a statistically significant number of dead people, house pets, felons, illegals, and people with multiple residences will have cast their votes for the democrat ticket) will have voted on the basis of superficial, Madison-Avenue-created, sound bite ‘knowledge’ that bears no resemblance to truth. The majority of Kerry/Edwards votes will have been cast -- thanks to a combination of voter apathy and rampant media bias -- without the benefit of a genuine knowledge of the democrat candidates’ decades-long resumes that exhibit an unambiguous adherence to a treasonous, anti-American agenda.
(3) Bush/Cheney will be victorious. This will be a remarkable outcome (occurring in spite of all borderline criminal machinations), and will only occur if the Republican ticket’s genuine support is nothing short of landslide proportions, the likes of which could not even be negated by massive voter fraud and pre-election plans to steal the electoral votes of swing states whose totals appear close.
But, even if Bush/Cheney are victorious, we cannot long rest on our laurels and assume that all is well. Far from it.
After an election loss, leftists do not simply lick their wounds and accept the voice of the people. And the stakes in this election will magnify beyond all reason the leftist penchant to attack, subvert and destroy those who took victory from their grasp. Elitists, after all, were destined to rule, to dictate, to dole out largesse to the masses. And when the masses do not place them in the positions of power to which they have been called, elitists become enraged, and insatiably vindictive. Civility and law/truth/justice will find themselves obscured by the obsession to gain the power that was not won through the normal channels that representative republican government supplies.
The mainstream media will be relentless in the criticisms, attacks, and counterfeit stories aimed at the President and his lame-duck administration (After all, what price has Dan Rather played for his unprofessional, agenda-driven ‘reporting’ of the Bush/National Guard memos story? The collective long-term yawn with which the public has reacted to his journalistic charlatanism has simply provided the unaccountable media a green light for more of the same).
Even small errors of judgment on the part of this President will be grotesquely magnified so as to rise to the level of an impeachable offense. And the war on terror – especially that portion of it occurring within the borders of Iraq – will be consistently painted with a broad black brush, with the objective of portraying it as Bush’s Waterloo, and America’s final imperialistic failure.
No matter the results of this election, the one and only thing that can prevent the ultimate success of the leftist agenda, many more horrifying terrorist attacks within our borders, and the eventual demise of the glorious American experiment, is the American citizen.
If the polls are accurate, a man who is seeking the Presidency of a nation he loathes is at least within striking distance of a leader who, although his domestic policy weaknesses are numerous, has conducted the war on terror, and the beginnings of the rebuilding of a liberated nation, with something close to brilliance. It would appear that the average American citizen needs either a more responsible, realistic set of priorities, or to spend significant time contemplating the serious, prophetic warning of one of our visionary Founders:
No people will tamely surrender their liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved. On the contrary, when people are universally ignorant … they will sink under their own weight without the aid of foreign invaders … Samuel Adams in a letter to James Warren, 4 November, 1775

Bush will win by 10 points.
I'm watching, on C-SPAN right now, The Presdident's rally held earlier today in Manchester, NH. Judd Gregg said it is the largest crowd he's ever seen assembled in NH.
That's gratifying.
I attended a rally held in Hershey, PA last week where the attendance was 31,000+ and the enthusiasm was electrifying. But it occurred in the middle of traditionally conservative territory, so it's difficult to judge whether the response was indicative of anything more than that.
Events are converging.
At the same time, I still believe we are in mortal peril from both our enemies abroad and those domestice enemies seeking to undermine our great Republic.
If Kerry wins...we will be in for an even harder time, but will have to cinch up our belts even tighter and move forward. God in Heaven never said the road would be easy or not fraught with danger.
I still believe that our nation is the home of tens of millions of very good, dedicated, Christian patriots...and despite all else, in the end that remnant will make the difference. As for today's news...here's my thoughts.
1st...about the OBL tape:
2nd, about the Major Pearson munitions story:
- It spouted the Kerry/Moore/DNC talking points, the American people will recognize this.
- It reminds people of 911 and they will naturally tend to rally around Bush...whom the polls consistently show has a big edge over Kerry in the War on Terror.
- it could have been a trigger for Al Quida operatives to act.
We shall see...in any case it will play on the American public to Bush's advantage...this is not Spain.
I still believe the war in Iraq is brilliant. it has given the opportunity for freedom to millions...millions who want it and who are training and sending their own sons to die beside our own in the fight. it has created a fly-trap for terrorists where they are being killed by the thousands...maybe the tens of thousands so they cannot train and come here to fight. it has strategically surrounded the largest supporter of terror in the region, Iran, with our forces to their south in the ocean, to their east in Aghanistan and to their west in iraq.
- It showed Kerry for what he is...a power hungry politician who is so oportunistic that he will attack and demean our soldiers and their CINC before the fact are in.
- It showed our forces have the munitions issue in hand as well as can be expected. They have destroyed over 400,000 TONS of munitions that our enemies would have if not for their professionalism.
Well...all of that was a mouthful. I am very optimistic about Tuesday...but committed to pressing forward in any case in the cause of liberty...and that means pressuring Bush to hold the line and make progress in areas where I feel he is delinquent in his second term.
Joanie, I had a talk with a co-worker at lunch today. He's a guy probably in his early 60's who has NEVER voted republican in his life and he's voting for Bush. I think there are a lot like him out there, at least let's hope so.
Great article, as always, kiddo. ;)
J. I am about to drop but will read this tomorrow and
comment.
Have to take WBD to vet,as she's done SOMETHING to her
good rear leg and so is now hopping on the two front and
the bad rear.
To tell the truth, I rather feel that this election
is more like the early days of the republic, those were
hard fought campaigns and feelings ran high, too bad
code duello is outlawed now though.
I have high hopes for a landslide, a Bush Mandate is what
this country needs, I expected it last time after eight
years of X42 but Bush was an unknown then and we saw the
Donks tactics in play.
We certainly live in "interesting times", not time to
vote from the roof tops yet, but who knows.
More tomorrow.
t.
War is coming, Joanie. Here. Soon. It's long past time that we deal with our domestic enemies. As Lee Harris has said -
"If the enemy is composed of men who will stop at nothing, who are willing to die and to kill, then you must find men to fight on your side who will do the same. Only those who have mastered ruthlessness can defend their society from the ruthlessness of others."
Time to put on our own Mask of Death.
But God Almighty has already chosen who will occupy the white house. He always has.
Pray for the victory of President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
Remember to vote and help others to the polls.
OK, I'll bite...WHAT'S CODE DUELLO?????
Fight for the right, no matter what.
Never give up.
Stay faithful.
And we will share in the Lord's ultimate victory.
"Bush will win by 10 points."
And bin laden was dead.
Very well done Joanie......
For the sake of our electoral process I hope it's a clear win for either party as I'm of the opinion our nation can't survive the MSM, their handlers , little gators and socialist polidiots screaming fire in a crowded country for personal gain, fame and ratings.
Of course I'm biased and will vote for GW and pray that for the "security" of our nation , our traditions, the republic for which we all stand and moralality as a civilization we try to cling to , that he wins.
If option 2 occurs Kerry will have just shut down the US executive and legislative branches of government as a GOP controlled , congress and senate will let him stain the office but not the country. Congresscritters will put a choke chain on the runt of the litter and all he'll be able to do is bark , lick his own (never mind) and piss on the roses per se.
Option 3 is what I believe will happen , a desired outcome. A clear landslide for the GOP to prove that the MSM "punk-dents" and pollsters were just drumming up ratings and web site hits etc all to further their sad sick little lives of being nothing but Life Members of the Liberal Losers Liars Club..........
Stay safe !
BTTT!
You nailed it, Joanie---especially the warning from Adams. He's the one who warned us about "our chains resting lightly" too.
So why aren't we listening to the wise men of our past?
Just make sure it's Irish Code Duello..........;o)
Stay safe !
I was feeling confident about a Bush victory all week until
1. I realized the media was dragging out every possible negative story against Bush (Halliburton, Iraq, missing weapons).
2. I heard 50,000 absentee ballots are missing in Florida.
3. I heard on Brit Hume's show that Bush is losing in Ohio.
4. I woke up today to find the Bin Laden trashing of Bush and endorsement of Kerry.
Now I'm really scared. I've cried today at the thought of losing our wonderful president.
matthew 8: 24-27
At this stage of the campaign, going to your base and firing them up to GET OUT THE VOTE is the name of the game.
This is in many respects the Left's last shot. They've been ratcheting themselves up for some very nasty business when they lose this next Tuesday. The ysee all of the sick utopian fantasies of power and control slipping away from them, and they can't stand it. It's their raison d'etre, and to lose sight of it is to lose every last vestige of what passes for their self-control.
We've got some grim work ahead of us.
