DNC Spokesman: "Our Work Here In Iowa Is Done!"
Posted on 02/05/2020 10:43:47 AM PST by Kaslin
There is poetic justice in the chaos we've witnessed in Iowa.
First, the Des Moines Register pulled its definitive poll, to which everyone turns as the final word before the caucuses, because of "irregularities."
Then results of the caucuses themselves were hung out to dry because of "inconsistencies."
No one ever said that making political sausage is pretty.
But it is for this very reason that we should want to minimize the extent to which political sausage-making impacts our lives. But if those who are running for the presidency in the Democratic Party get their way, we can only expect more and more of it.
We too often make the mistake of thinking that democracy and freedom are the same thing. This is a big mistake.
Democracy is about the process by which we elect government. Freedom is about how big that government is and how much of our lives it controls.
Democrats will talk to us forever about the former but could care less about the latter.
The rhetoric from all these Democrats boils down to how they claim they're going to make our lives better by increasing government/political power over every decision we make.
More government power over health care, education, housing and business. More power in the hands of politicians in general to determine what is fair and not fair.
In the end, private citizens will cower in the corner waiting for marching orders about what they're allowed to do.
History tells us, as did the founders of our country, that the path to corruption is giving politicians more power.
It's why they wrote in our Declaration of Independence that our freedom comes from God. Government's job, they wrote, is to protect it.
Those who think the main issue facing us is how we elect politicians, rather than the power that we give to politicians, need to look at what has happened in Iowa.
What divides America today are those who aspire to American ideals of individual freedom and those who want to crush it and turn our lives over to a governing political class.
The growth in government over the last half-century has been about the growth in political power. In 1970, 35% of the federal budget consisted of so-called transfer payments, that is, government taking money from taxpayers and recycling to others by way of government programs. Today it's 70%.
And with all the talk about democracy, it's done in a most undemocratic way. Instead of raising taxes so voters know what's happening, the government just borrows the money. It's like turning your credit card over to your neighbor.
Now we've got a federal government debt load the size of our whole economy. Scholars from Stanford University's Hoover Institution estimated recently that the national debt will soon amount to a quarter million dollars per every American family of four.
Unfortunately, after the civil rights movement, African Americans largely bought the lie that government would make their lives freer and fairer.
Government took over large portions of their lives -- housing, education, health care, welfare. The main thing that happened by turning government into a deity is that the real values that free us were pushed aside. Black marriage and families were decimated.
And today, black poverty, and the gap between black household income and wealth and the national averages, are not much different from half a century ago.
It's why I called one of my books "Uncle Sam's Plantation."
The truth is it doesn't matter which Democrat wins in Iowa or elsewhere. They all have the same misguided answers for America. Follow me onto the government plantation.
The secret of American success, of all human success, is people free in body and spirit, taking responsibility for their lives.
All of American history is about fighting for freedom. This is what the 2020 election is about.
It doesn’t matter who wears the D jersey this time.
America now sees clearly what it’s like to have a real natural born citizen as President who loves the country and its people to his bones.
Time was Democrats could run a rigged election like no other. How low have they sunk that they can’t even do that?
The Clinton machine has lost control
There is no organization to step in and take over
It’s important the Bernie wins all the marbles.
Why? Because he is the true face and agenda of the RAT communist party. Let the People see who they REALLY are...and it ain’t the traditional, classic democrat.
It does not matter. They will all yank the country into the abyss on the left side of the path. Most are probably incompetent. Those would be controlled by their abler and more fanatic masters. The smarter ones will do it on their own. And then there is Mrs Bill Clinton who will likely emerge at the convention. She is sufficiently vicious and her Parkinson’s makes her eminently controllable.

I wonder if the crap in Iowa is making the Dem supporters rethink their opposition to voter ID laws and support for same day voter registration and the requirement to provide proof of residency and citizenship when registering to vote.
I doubt it.
*** SUGGESTION FOR TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN — IF YOU’RE READING THIS ***
For a campaign video:
1. First, play a segment of Trump’s speech talking about Illegal Alien Crimes and Sanctuary Cities.
2. Then show Trump’s statement that he will push for the rights of victims of illegal alien violence/murder to SUE the Sanctuary Cities.
3. Then show Nazi Pelosi tearing up his speech.
This will play very well!
Obama was all about him. He don’t care about DNC and the party
Cannon fodder for November.
Exactly. ALL are socialist.
ALL want unrestrained immigration and no border.
ALL want all the gun control they can obtain.
ALL want the holy “single payer” government healthcare.
ALL want unrestricted and subsidized baby killing up at and even AFTER birth.
ALL want a Bacchanal of homosexuality, trannies, crossdressers, and penis choppers.
ALL want want and support drag queen story hour for perverts to get hands on kids.
ALL want to teach elementary school children how to take it right up the ass. (ripe language but that is the reality of what they teach. We’s best to just say it bluntly!)
ALL want to allow school kids to hide abortions, hormone treatments and gender bending at school from parents.
ALL fete, celebrate and love islam and openly sympathize with terrorists.
ALL want global government superior to the US Government.
ALL have a passionate hatred for anything white, traditional Americana, Christian, and our history. They want monuments torn down.
ALL want massive increase in taxes.
ALL support the global warming scam and want massive taxes and redistribution of US money to the third world.
ALL want massive cuts in the US military.
All PASSIONATELY hate oil, gas, nuclear, and coal.
All literally believe cow farts are a massive threat to humanity and we must stop eating beef. (because vegetarians are famous for being fartless)
The only difference is personality. You want an old geezer? You want a Soviet millionaire? You want a shirt and tie wearing CIA man who takes lets another man do him in the poophole? You want a female fake indian?
All the same.
They started to believe their own lies. That’s like a drug dealer getting hooked on his own product.
That’s right! Who cares who’s king of the clowns? They’re going to be defeated anyway.

Yes, it seriously does.
They are having a civil war.
“Democracy is about the process by which we elect government.”
I accept that but when the definition of a democratic process is that anyone over a certain age is eligible to vote in elections then it is a very extremely BAD form of government and that is the reason that the founders guaranteed us in the constitution a republican form of government. The founders warned us of the danger inherent in democracy.
I am tempted to register as a democrat so that I can vote for Bernie in the South Carolina democrat primary and then vote Republican in November. I really want to see Bernie run against Donald Trump.
