Completely apart from the tragic departure from the presidential race - courtesy the efforts of Ron "The Real Neocon" Paul (paleoconservatives NEVER objected to our "interfering" in Vietnam, as he would have y'all young whipper snappers believe in his revisionist history - just that we never tried to win, but instead wasted over 50,000 of our finest youth in a war of "containment"), along with his (Tancredo's) insane endorsement of the worst of the frauds in the race (Romney), Thursday, December 20, 2007 represented a watershed in evil, including devastating legislation that put to flight Republican taunts that this Democratic congress couldn't get any of its radical legislation passed. Those taunts now ring hollow, as a 24-hour period saw the reds on the Hill get through the following deathknell for America, all of which Dubya is only too happy to sign (and all of which has made his swandive, via his coverup of 500+ WMD finds in Iraq {True Nature of the Lies } - not to mention the Iraqi Republican Guard's execution of the Oklahoma City attack and so many other things that would have justified our invasion - worth his while), to wit:
- the virtual repeal of the 2nd Amendment - especially in terms of the people in whose hands we can most profit from having weapons - via the passage of the McCarthy bill,
- the passage of an appropriations bill that effectively repeals the '06 authorization of 800-plus miles of border fence, ending any semblance of resolve to secure our southern frontier from invaders hostile to the principles of our republic, and
- the passage of an "energy" bill authorizing no new drilling or exploration for oil (in ANWR, offshore - where the Cubans and Chinese are bleeding the Caribbean dry - or anywhere else), no new refineries, and no new atomic plants, but banning the incandescent light bulb, forcing us all the rewire our fixtures and install (healthy for plants but toxic for human beings) fluorescents, full of mercury, much more expensive, and ultra-expensive to dispose of.
This, combined with concurrent news of the Bush Administration's total sellout in Bali (where his representatives took a 100% Gory Al position on the environment and signed on to a totalitarian UN-based plan far more draconian than the Kyoto accord Bush earlier made such a show of rejecting), along with ongoing reports of Utah's crackdown on home schooling, marks last Thursday as the beginning of the end of a free America. It signals an era of oppression unprecedented in our history, an inexorable one, given the remaining slate of viable candidates in both parties.
We know what we have with the Democrats, and with RINOs like McCain and Giuliani. Recent revelations of staggering hypocrisy have blown the cover off Romney and Huckabee. Thompson is from the same establishment mold, and if my columns documenting the dark, leftist side of Ron "Neville Chamberlain" Paul haven't convinced anybody of the folly in following him, heaven help us all.
That leaves the < 1% (at least according the "mainstream" pollsters, whom I do not trust) pack (Keyes, Cort, Grasso, Cox). These are all excellent on the issues, which is why the powers that be would never allow them any traction.
No, it's looking pretty bleak for my country, and, by extension, for the world as a whole. We're looking at a disarmed popluace, disenfranchised by an invading army of soon-to-be voters prone to elect the likes of a Chavez or a Lula or an Ortega,. About to be merged into an internationalist, socialist North American Union. To have its sovereignty subsumed to (and wealth redistributed via) the United Nations. To be denied access to natural nutritional supplements. To have Christian doctrine banned as hate speech. To lose access to what few avenues to the truth remain. To have its children become mandatory wards of the brainwashing state.
The forces of evil - the internal enemies of America - had a huge day on Thursday. Pray, on this commemoration of Christ's first coming, for His second.
