When Robert Caro was researching his multi-volume LBJ biography he ran across a tape in the LBJ Library at the University of Texas. It was a tape of a telephone conversation between LBJ and his long time friend senator Richard Russell of Georgia, another Democrat, right after the passage of the Voters right Act of 1964.
LBJ said, “That will keep the (n word) voting Democrat for the next two hundred years.”
That is your answer. The Democrats have sought complete control of the government for at least the last seventy-five years. How would they yield such power? In any manner it took to maintain complete control.
That usually means making the opposition completely powerless. No opposition media to express other ideas. No teachers or professors who teach other ideas. Disarm the populace. Assure that the people worship the state and the Democrat Party rather than some other religion. Suspend elections as they would be unnecessary because everyone loves the Democrats and would vote for them anyway. If that raises opposition have sham elections to prove the point.
Personal freedom? Why would anyone want that? The state provides them all they need and that in itself is freedom, freedom from want. If they want more than provided by the state they are selfish and greedy, unwilling to do what is necessary for “the people.” So send them off to be reeducated in a proper reeducation camp (prison).
History has shown that to be contrary to human nature and sooner or later human nature must win. How many millions will die in the interim? Lots!
R. Buckminster Fuller said that free enterprise has the unique ability to transform the selfish desires of the individual into a good for the whole. That is human nature at work.
Yet, those who seek power don’t trust the individual so they must lie and manipulate the people with linguistic tricks like naming their organizations and policies in a way that gives the impression they are the opposite of what they really are. The ACLU, NOW, WHO, the National Council of Churches, UNICEF, global warming, Card Check, etc., the world abounds with such deception.
If they were the right way for us why do they have to lie to us to gain power? The answer is obvious.
So much truth in your reply...
As Ive said, this is a line of thought that needs a full discussion.
Since Hannah Giles & James O’Keefe, the exposure of the Left has accelerated. Lately, the further release of documents from other ACORN offenses has come to light.
Now the hacked emails of the climate change scam has shown truth is painful to the LEFT.
Lets continue to shine the light on the Rats.
