OK, we've all heard -- to death -- that the 2012 election will be one of the most impactful in American history. True. Probably the most impactful since the 1860 election that brought Lincoln into office and triggered the Civil War.
It's because the split in the nation is very wide, an ideological gap. Basically it's two very different views of the USA.
On the one hand, you the tradtional, conservative view of America as the Beacon on the Hill, the Shining City that supports the ideas of personal liberty based on individual rights, free enterprise, private property and prosperity gained through hard work.
Then we have the alternative view as the USA no better or worse than anyplace else, just a difference flag. And accompanying this view is an equally false perception of the human race as stupid, helpless, criminal, and even vicious. This view presents human beings sort of termnally stupid and incompetent to take care of themselves. (Generally the southern planter's view of black slaves, I might add.)
Which do you prefer? Which best encapsulizes the way you view the human race and the USA?
The Comrade is s proponent of the second view. To his eyes, human beings are drooling imbeciles who need a ruling class of "betters" to take care of them. The flotsam clogging Zucotti Park and other places across the nation are an example of this view. Do they represent the great mass of the human race?
And noting this negative attitude about human beings, Thomas Jefferson once noted: "If men are not fit to rule themselves, how then can they be fit to rule others?"
The Conrade's going to have a real hard time getting elected in 2012 because it's very clear now what he thinks of all of us. And, by the way, how he regards himself and others in the "political class" as a superior segment of the species. His arrogance is monumental and based on nothing but the intellectual snobbery he picked up at Ivy League institutions.
Well, many of the Comrade's principles have been put into motion through various pieces of legislation, but mostly by decree. Have they done any good? Or rather, are they compelling the collaps of the nation in a heap of helpless detritus? The Comrade creates misery by making it illegal -- and at the very least morally questionable -- to behave like a rational and productive individual.
In other words, if you weren't born stupid and helpless, and actually managed to survive the public schools with a whole soul, the Comrade will force to behave that way -- or go to jail.
And because of all this, the Comrade has nothing positive to run on. His record? Of what? Deliberate destruction? He leaves a swathe of closed businesses, unemployed workers, and general trash and used hyp needles in his wake.
So the only tactic he can take in his campaign is to trash his opponents. I think we've already had a little taste of this regarding Herman Cain. But this is only the start.
This may be the most disgusting presidential election the nation has ever seen. But I doubt anyone with any brains or self-respect will be able to stomach, let alone support, these kinds of tactics.
Save the Republic.
