Election Eve (Eve ; Eve ; Eve) Thoughts on the Responsibilities That Come With Citizensh
self | 29 October, 2004 | joanie-f

Posted on 10/29/2004 5:51:37 PM PDT by joanie-f

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

Senile Walter Cronkite says Karl Rove behind Bin Laden tape; predicts election will end up in the Supreme Court:

http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0410/29/lkl.01.html

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

OSAMA BIN LADEN (through translator): Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or al Qaeda. Your security is in your own hands. Any nation that does not attack us will not be attacked.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KING: OK, Walter. What do you make of this?

CRONKITE: Well, I make it out to be initially the reaction that it's a threat to us, that unless we make peace with him, in a sense, we can expect further attacks. He did not say that precisely, but it sounds like that when he says...

KING: The warning.

CRONKITE: What we just heard. So now the question is basically right now, how will this affect the election? And I have a feeling that it could tilt the election a bit. In fact, I'm a little inclined to think that Karl Rove, the political manager at the White House, who is a very clever man, he probably set up bin Laden to this thing. The advantage to the Republican side is to get rid of, as a principal subject of the campaigns right now, get rid of the whole problem of the al Qaqaa explosive dump. Right now, that, the last couple of days, has, I think, upset the Republican campaign.

KING: Are there enough undecideds to tilt this? Or what do you think of the whole election picture?

CRONKITE: Well, I think it's one of the biggest messes we've had in a long time. I believe that we're undoubtedly not going to know the results of this election. I don't want to knock you off the air on Monday night or anything, or Tuesday night. But I suspect that we're not going to know who the next president is, whether it is Bush or the new man, until very probably sometime in the early spring. There's so much controversy that they're planting, deliberately planting at the polls, that there's almost certainly to be a suit going back to the Supreme Court eventually, going through the other courts slowly first.

Cronkite is almost always high on the lists that are compiled of the "most trusted Americans". I wonder how many Americans will want to take him off that list after this comment. I really do wonder. The average intelligence of the American citizen is so much lower than it used to be. Some of them might think Cronkite may be onto something!

Has he forgotten Kerry's name already? And has he also forgotten that the electoral college is required to meet and declare the new president within a certain period of time (I think it might be 40 days)?

Kronkite is getting senile, and more socialist at the same time. I think the two go hand in hand! :^D

Thank you. Everyone seems to know what to do with this pneumonia but me. Doc didn't say.

If you're going to use that one in color, I ought not to...for variety's sake.

Oh. Well, I assume the 'drink plenty of clear liquids' is good advise.

It's a good all around suggestion for good health, imho .....
