In case you haven't noticed,
America's political goalposts keep moving further to the left every
election cycle. When I voted for George Bush (I told friends I did so
only because I was convinced he didn't want me to - so appalling were
his antics seemingly designed, in true RINO fall-on-your sword fashion,
to get lifelong open communist John Kerry elected - and I wasn't going
to let him get away with it), I told myself that was as far left as I
was going to let my personal goalposts get pushed.
Well, John
McCain is so far left he makes George Bush look like George Gipp (as in
"the Gipper," himself a football hero). So far left that if either he or Obama wins, there is no more America.
Paths
to citizenship, lack of a fence, and intimidation of border agents -
via incarceration - to the point that they dare not do their jobs in
many circumstances mean we're about to turn, demographically, into one
of those South or Central American countries electing communist
dictators as presidents. And there goes free speech, the web, property
rights, gun rights, the sanctity of marriage and of life itself,
American sovereignty, and the
"oil-starved-while-we're-sitting-on-top-of-the-world's-greatest-potential-supply"
economy, as well.
Either way. Wrap your mind around that, and drive through the ball carrier.
Just
as surely as Obama will run us out of the stadium, McCain will push us
into the stands. Either way, it's over; the game is lost. Our children
face a future of gas price-induced starvation and/or communist or
Islamofascist one world slavery, with Christianity a capital offense.
Sorry,
GOP fans, it's no more, "Hold that line!" for me. America desperately
needs to "Push 'em back, push 'em back, Waaaaaay back!' and fast.
Alan
Keyes blew out the field in the '96 Republican debates so badly that
even in the ultra-liberal DC area where I resided he ran up the score
in an informal WMAL on-air poll. Consequently, he has not been
permitted, in general, in debates ever since.
He is absolutely
down-the-line Reaganite Christian conservative. He even knows the
communists, Islamists and world federalist socialists (and not us) are
the world's bullies. And he doesn't blame America for 9/11. And he's an
all-pro icon in the movement.
And he's running. He has
organizations in all 50 states, a chance for ballot access in most of
them and official write-in status in the rest, a brand new party
(America's Independent Party), umbrella affiliation under existing 3rd
parties where appropriate, independent status where that fits the bill,
and the unabashed locker room prayers of Christians and conservatives
nationwide.
The clock is ticking; it's past the 2-minute warning, and we are not giving up. Find out how you can get involved by going to http://www.selfgovernment.us/aip/. It ain't over till the final gun. Immaculate receptions have happened before; "hail, Mary's" have connected.
