America, A Quaint Memory....

It appears the America I knew and loved will be a quaint memory.

By whatever means, the forces of the extreme left have undertaken, and apparently succeeded, in performing the coup de grace on a staggering nation.

The causes of their Presidential election-year victory are many. They include:

• A shifting demographic, in which Latinos, and especially single mothers have drastically increased.
• There is, of course, unprecedented and wholesale voter fraud. There are now, starting to emerge, reports of massive fraud at the state level (for example, in Colorado, it appears there are more voters than people, and even at a local Congressional level, utterly outrageous and obvious fraud occured, such as when Representative Alan West lost by 2,400 votes in St. Lucie County immediately Following a 'recount' by the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections, where he was 2000 votes ahead .. and the Supervisor saw fit to destroy those recounted ballots.
• There is also a strong trend at the public school level to indoctrinate students in values and morals of the left. I probably was one of the last generations to escape that, and I left high school in 1979.

Fraud helped tip this election. While it is entertaining to think of ways to unseat the benefiters of such fraud, it is not likely to happen. The fraudulent results shall stand. And, the fraud will snowball, as those who benefit from the fraud make sure no laws can be enacted to prevent fraud. It will increase, and it does not appear there is any recourse to stop it.

Demographics helped tip this election. This is another unrelenting trend. Single mothers will not lessen any time soon, and these women tend to view government as a caretaker -- and so they look to Democrats. There is talk in the Republican camp of loosening immigration standards and, probably, amnesty for illegal aliens. Therefore, we will continue to see an inexorable rise in the number of Latinos in America. I say this without judgment, but merely as an observation. However, they vote predominantly Democrat.

And as our students are relentlessly taught morals and values that the extreme left holds dear, the adults who will stand by our side, and eventually replace us, will continue to add to the numbers of the extreme left citizenry.

What can we expect?

1. A Republican party who, pointlessly, will shift far to the left. They will not capture any more votes than the Democrats, of course. But they will try.

2. No more Republican Presidents, ever. George W. Bush is very likely the last Republican President you will see in your adult lifetimes.

3. Congressmen and Senators will be increasingly Democrat, until, as in California, there will be a supermajority in both Houses of Congress. In short, American politics will become a single-party affair.

4. Firearms ownership will be drastically curtailed, via a UN Treaty that will subvert, if not supercede, our Second Amendment. The world looks at America as an oddball, and the world wants our guns gone.

5. We will be increasingly Socialist/Communist. Socialism and especially Communism destroys innovation, strips hope, and makes poverty universal.

I, your humble author, wish I had better news. I wish I had a solution to all this. I don't. Perhaps someone smarter than I can come up with an idea.

I will mention this: The solution must be Gramscian in nature, that would allow us to slowly subvert the forces of Marxism. Gramsci was a Marxist himself, and he came up with the concept of a 'political society' (which rules through force) and a 'civil society' (which rules through consent). The Marxists understood this and realized that the most powerful ideological shifts can only come by the will of the people. The failures of Nazi Germany and the USSR generally show the Marxists that force is a poor substitute for civil will. It should show us the same.

There are those among us I hear speaking of a complete collapse of the US economy as a solution -- a reset button, if you will. Does anyone seriously believe that a government that would follow would be MORE like the America of liberty and free enterprise that we yearn for? Remember, the citizenry (with great voter fraud help) voted Obama back into office after a miserable four-year leftist performance. Even without the voter fraud, there still remains fully half of America that holds the ideals of the left as sacrosanct. We can dismiss the 'reset button' idea as impractical and unlikely to achieve our goals.

Any solution we undertake will be and must be, multi-generational. We will not live to see its fruits. There must be a meeting of great minds to start determining a long term course that will help return our land to the liberty and the love of free enterprise we once had.

I do have some good news. It appears that the left is not choosing to kill its enemies, at least not yet. I hope they continue to remain nonviolent. If they have studied Gramsci well, they probably will remain nonviolent. Political force is ultimately self-defeating.

If that remains the case, we can still pursue our lives. We can raise our children, marry, laugh, love and honor our God, and enjoy and build the best life we can, albeit at a lower standard of living than we have had. I recommend that, while still searching for a solution to these issues, each and every one of you do this very thing. We have no control over the nation, ultimately (though we can impart our small spin) so enjoy your life to the fullest!

Add me to your ping list. Come on down to Texas. I got out of Austin, despite the screenname. I am also researching Panama.

That statement is like a sharp dagger hitting its mark.

Thanks for the ping, lj. I read down to MM’s post and saw this: “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

There’s the answer.

Great post, Laz. Will finish reading it later.

It’ll take about 2 decades to undue the crap established by the jackass and his commie ilk.

I for one will fight on regardless of any one’s despair.

We are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

ESAD, ya’ commie mofus!

Irenic, I like how you think.

We need to disavow the mold of the “conservative” establishment who signed on with Bush lackey faux conservatives like Mitch Daniels, Krispy Kreme, (Romney?) etc. to run interference. The Bush people were setting up already during this past primary. Jeb feared the incumbent Barry plus it was “too soon for another Bush.”

For all we know the Bushes threw Florida to set up Jeb 2016. Remember me and keep in touch as you wish: you are very perceptive.

Hopeful thread over here discussing Texas secession:

Lots of good ideas, action items, and scenarios.

Oh there’s fates far worse than death in store for those involved in attempting to destroy my country. Petty violence is going to be the least of their worries. There’s more than one way to land a sucker punch, and make it really, really hurt.

Hey Laz,

Good post. Thanks! I intend to make the best of it all no matter what.

Still, I have an idea I haven’t heard elsewhere. Shall we noodle on this one?

What if freepers, then tea party, then mainstream conservatives all physically moved to a single geographic area?

States are geographic territories that seem to (somewhat randomly) collect people of similar mindsets and culture, depending on a variety of factors. The culture then becomes self-reinforcing.

What if conservatives FOCUSED by taking over a single state?

I believe the political power would focus naturally because politics are local.

That state could become a powerhouse of businesses and technology, differentiating itself strongly from the distributed “takers.” That state would naturally develop leadership and culture based on freedom and individual responsibility. Laws would naturally trend to supporting the individual and not the collective.

The founders took it as granted that power lay within the states, not the fed. States’ rights produce a free market for political and legal structures, resulting in free citizens voting with their feet.

That state could become strong enough to tell the fed to take a hike. Hopefully, secession could be avoided by showing other states how to get back on the path.

Just a pregnant idea, but I think it’s worth some discussion.

Is this feasible? Or do you suppose that our clan is too attached to local life, beer, and football to make “a move” like this?

I agree, just need to make sure we have strict immigration policy, NO LIBERALS ADMITTED!
