That allegory was as close to the real truth of where we find ourselves as a nation, and what time it really is for this people than any other post yet replied to from Mr. Jim.
One truth in the allegory that both the German people and Americans today share, is that the man leading them by subterfuge wrote and said exactly what he was going to do before he got into power - and the people refused to believe he meant what he said he would do, or that such a thing could happen here.
The Ruling Class knows where the real power now lies, and they will do anything to share in it and have fingers on the money,and on the power to control us. Romney will not stop this, nor slow it down. He will be the broker to legitimize it all, even after he loses in a landslide to Obama - who chose Romney to run against.
As a Conservative once married to an abusive adulterous political party - I have suffered enough rape, abuse and humiliation by the hand of the Ruling Class leadership in the GOP. I want a divorce, because I refuse to deceive myself into believing that this time will be different than before.
I’m not insane. What I am reading and hearing is many folks who have been beaten into thinking they have nowhere else to go, no choice but to lie back and enjoy the rape thinking the alternative is worse, are proving that they are slaves. As if voting for the top spot is going to save us from the ruin already sown from years of this same old, same old.
Galatians 5:1. I refuse to be a slave and vote for the chosen vessel hand picked by the MarxoFascist to run against and think I’m somehow saving the nation by doing so. Because when Romney loses just as McCain did, we’re expected to just slink away and say - “Well, the Democracy has decided and I will just have to live with the consequences”, as if that is the price to pay for living in a ‘free’ society of Dependents. Shame on us to have allowed ourselves to get to this point when the Founders repeatedly warned us this would happen.
We need a divorce from this system, and a mindset and resolution of refusal to comply, capitulate or cooperate with the enemy on every level for every reason, whether from within us or from without, same as our forbears did whom established our Republic.
Since I concur that Zajko’s allegory is adroit, at what point do you refuse to play the game the Ruling Class has orchestrated for you to play, and seek Independence from those who would have us all in chains?
Then hear this:
Barack Obama is a Marxist. He was mentored by Marxists, and he surrounds himself with Marxists. He is a domestic enemy to the Constitution of the United States. He seeks to destroy our economy and our culture. He has already demonstrated his disdain not only of the Bill of Rights, but of the separation of powers. He openly mocks the Supreme Court. He shows contempt for our allies, while appeasing our enemies. He incites racial hatred, while his Justice Department plays favorites. The list is almost endless.
I took an oath many years ago that I still take very seriously, and that oath comes before my pride, party or politics.
And I think that that’s a key point you make: the ‘Mittler’ option, who in fact seeks to legitimise to a wider political spectrum much of the same manifesto which the ‘Hitler’ option more directly espouses, in fact makes it more difficult for rational opponents to manifest and motivate opposition to his agenda once in power.
Elements of the judiciary, and of the GOP in Congress, have and will continue to stand up against large portions of Obama’s agenda. Would they be prepared to do the same against Romney’s - a president from their own party, a member of the selfsame GOP elite?
What is the difference, in the end, between an entirely Socialist agenda, only part of which can be put into practice, and a mainly-socialist agenda, all of which can be put into practice with Romney as president?
If I vote for Romney (and ticking the box next to a candidate’s name is, like it or not, an endorsement from you of his stated political agenda) then I am morally complicit in whatever he afterwards does. My guilt therein may be lessened if he proceeded to enact policies which he never espoused prior to being elected: but this is not the case here. We KNOW Romney’s past, his agenda, his pro-abortion record. None of us can honestly claim innocence or ignorance on this afterwards.
Romney may yet become president, but it won’t be with my support. And whatever he does then will not be in my name. When offered 2 options, both of which are unacceptable to me, I have and reserve the right to accept neither. I will search for others which are, however difficult or unlikely they may be. If enough others think and act likewise, then what is seen as unachievable may yet be achieved: this year, next year, or in years to come.
A good example for all of us still today, is, I think, one I mentioned in my earlier post:
