Thank you, America, for making the biggest mistake of your life.
Thank you, America, for electing a man who has known associations with domestic terrorists and dissenting radicals who make their careers out of defacing the United States and promoting its ruin. Thank you, America, for electing a man who is wildly acclaimed by the governments of our country’s worst enemies, by Iran’s death-crazed Ahmadinejad, Venezuela’s drug-lord-promoting Hugo Chavez and Cuba’s torturing-socialist Castro Brothers.
Thank you, America, for electing a man so far from the foundations and roots of our government, so beyond the principles as guaranteed by our Constitution and Bill of Rights, so disrespectful of the glories and honor of the past that his main philosophies take active steps towards the very foundational principles that led to the death of millions during China’s Cultural Revolution and Russia’s Great Purges.
Thank you, America, for failing to do the right thing. You passed over the greatness of a man who stared death in its sallow face for over 2,000 days, in the wake of torture by the enemy as motivated by pure, unadulterated evil, for a man in favor of the promotion of the very same evil. You neglected the fortitude of a man brave enough to better himself in the name of service to his country. You obliterated the necessity of a man with a heart understanding of sacrifice, hard work, and perseverance for a man who defines patriotism by a willingness to remain stoic and submissive as the greedy, controlling claws of government pry hard-earned resources out of dying hands who have nothing but God to cling to, when even He has been taken away and destroyed.
We have been ushered into a time where the selfish, the entitled, the lazy, the weak and the cowardly are idolized and rewarded. Gone are the golden Horatio Alger stories that promoted the motivation to work towards the American dream. Here are the depressing realities of entitlement and selfishness that encourage the passivity to wait for the free checks to be deposited in fat, uncalloused hands.
On our country’s most fateful Christmas in 1776, Gen. George Washington rallied troops into wooden boats under the command cry of “Victory or Death.” Sleet and hail clung to the withering faces of our weakened, sickened militia men, whose thoughts were undoubtedly with the parents, wives and children they had left behind many Christmases before. Violent winds stung at their raw, bleeding faces, as ice floes impeded their course and rapped against the sides of the boats like the bones in the caskets of fellow brothers buried along the paths forged from our country’s young soil during the course of the war for freedom. General Ewing feared the danger of crossing the Delaware under such daunting conditions. General Washington persevered.
It is this perseverance that has carried America throughout its great history to the victory of freedom. It is this perseverance that fed the starving bodies at Valley Forge and that drove brother to fight brother in the name of equality and emancipation. It is this perseverance that pioneered industry, built the Transcontinental Railroad, found gold, brought heat to the world and invented penicillin. It is this perseverance that hung on the last breathes of the young soldiers dying on the beaches of Normandy and that wrote loyal letters to the unfaithful girls back home too poisoned by marijuana and free love to write back. It is this perseverance that dug hundreds of mangled bodies out of concrete rubble piles in New York City.
It is this perseverance that has been lost in the name of ill-conceived populism, fueled not by inspiration, but by the morose delectation of watching severed heads fall swiftly from the Guillotine.
It is this perseverance that has been exterminated from the mob, but in the wake of America’s grave mistake, it is our conservative minority that must adhere with what passion we have left to the perseverance as taught to us by the true heroes of our history.
It is a time for us to more fervently cement our commitments to the foundational principles of this great country, based on the Constitution’s blessings of liberty. It is a time for us to become even more aware of the honor and dignity the masses have failed to internalize and we must fight to preserve. It is a time for us to create our own revolution of the traditions that have never failed us until now, when they have been so blatantly ignored by the freedom-hating masses who seek to destroy the rights to self defense, to the free practice of religion, to the rightful ownership of property and, most seriously, to the autonomous control of oneself.
Let us work without shame to proudly ensure the restoration of unity within our party.
Let us restore the commitment to fight for what is right and to define right and wrong in the hopes of combating the toxic relativism that has quenched the thirst of those too weak to stand up for true morality.
Some bright studsnts do get accepted even at Yale.
Yale has the Avalon Project with ALL the documents that made America, with God in them. It is fantastic if you need a document to prove God was in all of our founding fathers.
The writer has obviously never heard of Fleming or Duchesne or Florey.
Read the comments to this story (Yale Daily News):
“How did you get into college, with that feeble mind?”
“I guess it should refreshing to be reminded that getting into (and out of) Yale is no indication that one is at all logical.”
“Glad to know people like Moore (any relation to Ann Coulter) will keep the hate, the divisiveness, and the fear that we’ve grown so accustomed to over the past 8 years around for a little longer de(in)spite America’s call to change.”
Etc., etc.!

"No republic has long outlived the discovery by a majority of its people that they could vote themselves largesse from the public treasury."

"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of many by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away mans initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."
- Abraham Lincoln

I’ll first start off, before even reading the article, by saying I thought it was Michael Moore.
Now I’ll read the article.
geez... four years of this might even beat the last 8 of the ‘smirking chimp’ and ‘failed bush administration’ talk.
Well stated. Thank you, Elizabeth Moore.
Bump
a minor grammatical error is the only thing you can comment on in this brilliant article?
you got to be kidding?
Given that the USA has evidently forgotten that it is a Constitution-based republic as opposed to a dictatorship, USA citizens deserved to tremble in their shoes at the thought of misguided Socialist Obama running the country.
Again, if USA citizens would demand that constitutionally clueless Obama respects the limited powers delegated to the federal government by the Constitution that he has hypocritically sworn to defend, Obama would arguably be a lame duck president before he even takes the oath of office.
Wow.
This is GREAT.
That was an incredible article.
“On our country’s most fateful Christmas in 1776, Gen. George Washington rallied troops into wooden boats under the command cry of “Victory or Death.” Sleet and hail clung...”
That reminds me - Christmas is coming. I sure hope I get my gov’t check in time for that big-screen TV I have my eye on!
Wonderful piece, as good or better than the original posted here.
A true act of courage consists not of heeding the dares of a mad and sycophantic crowd but of denying them their satisfaction and rebuking them besides. I suspect the author will be made to pay for her apostasy. But for a young person, such courage as hers is rare and is to be encouraged.
Bravo.
Holy heaven, this girl’s oratory makes Obama’s speech — by comparison — seem like the mouthing’s of a baby!
Elizabeth Moore for President?
STE=Q
So we’ll push back from the gates of Hell, open up a path away from their mob, then push them against the gate.
