That’s how I see it. The fables that we are told about how the government operates are just that - fables.

This is about POWER. The following quote illustrates the kind of people we are up against (the Elitists):


“Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We WANT them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against... We’re after power and we mean it... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted — and you create a nation of law-breakers — and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”

— Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged


THIS election will determine the fate of the nation. It is the single most important election since at least 1980, probably since 1932, and possibly since 1860. THIS election will determine if our Republic continues in any recognizable form, or if destroys itself as Rome did when it allowed the Caesars to assume power.
