Our Mesmerizer-in-Chief

the head of Ruplican party and the old dogs are all part of the system..they have grown rich helping their liberal brothers..to them both sides of the isle is the in crown and tea party members are the enemy..out to ruin their way of theft..thats why they keep importing liberal leftist voters ..so the masses can keep supporting the few in DC.As long as they can pit us against each other they win.

Just for the sake of argument, let's say the Repubican Party did drop the pro-life plank from their platform.

Why would people then vote for Republicans?

Goldberg's thesis suggests there would still be a difference between the RATS and RINOs. The question is, what would that difference be?

Whatever the difference is, are we to believe it would be something people genuinely think is something that would be to their benefit but they are willing to sacrifice it because of the abortion issue?

A government that defines a group of people as fair game for murder by other people is a totalitarian government. It is a genocidal government. It is wholly illegitimate.

For forty years, our government has been illegitimate. We have been in that state described in the Declaration—i.e., we have been tolerating its crimes because they have been tolerable. (In the case of abortion, the genocide has been “tolerable” because everyone who has been born has had little to fear.)

We will either get rid of the fiction of “legal” abortion, and restore the legitimacy of our current government—or we will fail to do so and eventually see the principles by which it now operates reach their logical conclusion: Intolerable crimes against the born, and the consequent overt rebellion, violence, death, and destruction.

I appreciate your comments very much. When I posted I was very depressed. No matter how I try to find a bright side to where our country is I can’t do it. I am in ill health and this response will be shorter than I would like.

One thing I must mention is your involvement in the anti-war movement during the Vietnam era. I was interested in who you were then and who you are now. I want to quote you;

“Somewhere in that haze I saw Jesus Christ and I asked Him to guide me out, I asked Him to give me His strength and wisdom and to live in me even though I am not worthy of Him. He did.”

To me, that says it all. I too have come to recognize that Christ is our solace and our strength. It is helpful to remember that he is in control. It is easy to forget that.

If America survives it will be his will. If this nation does not survive that too is his decision. There are so many people in today’s America who scoff at the idea of a higher being. Some who read this post may feel that way.

But just as you changed in your life I have changed in mine. For at least forty years I refused to go in to a church unless there was a marriage or a funeral. Twelve years ago I agreed to attend church with some new friends. The sermon that day was about New Beginnings. It was an uncanny experience. I joined that church. I am blessed with a church family and I have a better perspective on my life.

Your remarks reminded me that it is not the time to despair. It is not the time to give up. I am committed to working as hard as I can to preserve my country. I understand that one person may achieve very little in the struggle we are involved in. But the obligation is to do whatever we can.

I thank you for your post. I rejoice in the fact that we are not alone.

Chris37,

You are correct to understand that it is futile to fight politically and that is also the answer for the left’s hegemony in our schools, universities and culture. For instance, President Obama’s work to advance gay rights is nothing compared to what Will and Grace accomplished. Further, how many “educated” people have you meet that have never read the Federalist Papers or Alexis de Tocqueville?

Instead of studying Alinsky, we should study Gramci and cultural hegemony.

I regret not getting back to you sooner. I have been hospitalize several times and the latest prognosis confirms that my 35 year diabetes has finally destroyed my kidney functions. I am 77 years old and I have had a full life.

I have seen my country evolve from a nation that generally despised me because of the color of my skin that elected Obama because of the color of his skin.

That was a grievous mistake. It may result in the end of America as a nation unlike any before it. My country has been the beacon of hope for people all over the world. Even today they risk their lives getting here.

There has been a role reversal. Vicious racists who kill others because of the color of their skin are too often blacks. I feel the same revulsion for them as I did for the hooded, sheet wearing white scum of the KKK.

If I could push a button and destroy every racist piece of dirt in America, black or white, I would do it immediately.

I deeply appreciate your report on your own political evolution . I respect you very much for that honesty. It is sad that all people are not able to self-examine the way that you have.

I hope that you had a Merry Christmas and I wish you a Happy and prosperous New Year.

It’s hard to understand how the greatest country on earth has also produced some of purest envy and hate.

Somehow, we lost our way, and it is very sad.

God Bless you, Gene, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well, kind sir.

I am very sad to hear the news of your health. I am also diabetic and am doing my very best to maintain proper blood sugar levels. I know at some point though, my body is going to fail me. But this is the time that I will see again the loved ones whom I’ve lost, and that is all that matters.
