INVAR, I don’t think you really buy into the idea that Romney was the best candidate we could loft, or that he did everything possible from a Conservative point of view to win.
None the less, fewer than 180,000 flipped votes across three states and Romney would have been president.
We cannot continue to misread the teal leaves and make drastic mistakes that would splinter our nation without real cause.
California has the largest body of Hispanics in the nation. Tell me how Romney appealed directly to them, without even entering the state other than to take $15 million away with him after a fundraiser.
He didn’t even ask for their vote, and yet we’re reading all sorts of truths into what their not voting for him meant or didn’t mean.
Could we have gotten 25% more votes from Hispanics in California if Romney had made a number of appearances across the Southland appealing to them on bedrock beliefs they and we share? There is a strong possibility. And it wouldn’t have had to break the bank.
If you separatists would spend as much energy on getting those Hispanic and Black votes as you do on thinking of reasons why you should leave, I think we’d be a lot better off.
No - Romney was decidedly NOT the candidate for Conservatives. But Obama and the Ruling Class chose him to be the fall guy so the scam of this election would look legit. That’s my take considering I’ve said Cook County went national and we are more like the Soviet Union now in terms of how things will work electively from here on out. We need to get it out of our heads that elections are trustworthy and our votes count. It’s WHO provides the votes and counts them that matters.
As to appealing to Hispanics and blacks with the ideals of Conservatism - that would be the job of citizens and the church - not politicians. What I am hearing from most is that ‘reaching out’ to those constituencies means we must sacrifice our principles in order to ‘win’ them to our side. It will never happen, because if personal responsibility is a core principle of Conservatism, you cannot reason against a people who worship the government Santa Claus.
And that is what this is all about. A majority of people who no longer see God as their Sovereign, but the State as their god. That is what this all boils down to. A people beholden to the bible and religion would not surrender their liberty to worship God as He leads them in order to serve the State.
But free stuff and hatred of those with more than they have - is a defacto religion with those with an entitlement mindset and who loft government into the place religion and God once occupied in this nation.
You are going to discover that we are past the point of resolving differences by any means left to us outside of extreme measures most of this people are not willing to consider. The history of tyrannies is one where the right of the people to follow God is removed and forcibly made to serve the state.
So there are no options left us except to surrender and bow down to worship this regime to get our share of bread, withdraw from it and refuse to comply as our Founders did the Crown - and/or - when the state makes it’s last mistake - force becomes necessary to preserve life and liberty.
