I am troubled by people who take a "don't give a damned" attitude about the changes taking place in our nation. Even more troubling is that many of these people have children or grand children who will be left behind to live their lives in this new, oppressive nation. Who would want to leave their off-spring to a nation absent the freedoms we enjoyed as children? The sad reality is that our nation has already lost many of the liberties we had taken for granted for many years - we are not free today! The frightening reality is that we are on a collision course with fascism. This election will either slow or stop our advancement toward the end or it will put us at the point of no return. There is no middle ground!!!
The democrats have launched their most aggressive, slanderous, bitter and negative campaign that I have ever witnessed. Across the nation, the attacks have been viscous and frankly, bordering on evil. The party which over the decades, has constantly accused the republicans of negative campaigning, have brought negative campaigning to a new, ugly, level. Even more concerning is that the media has not called the democrats on their negative tactics. Since 1992, the republicans have talked about the double standard in media reporting of politics. The double standard has become the benchmark in political reporting for the democrats - almost cliche.
If I would have first arrived on this planet at the beginning of this campaign season, here is what I would think today:
Republicans (From democrat perspective):
- Republicans hate women, gay men and women, minorities, children and elderly.
- Republican politicians are the only people in this nation who are financially successful.
- Republican politicians have achieved financial success by:
- killing women in nursing homes
- killing babies by taking away their medicine
- closing business and putting minorities out of work
- threatening minority and female employees with horrifying actions
- taking money from the pockets of the poor and sending it overseas
- Republicans fire gay people, just because they're gay!
- Republicans will not provide women with healthcare of any kind!
- Republicans want to return to the days of black people in chains or burning on crosses!
- Republicans want to send any non-white person back to their native homeland.
- Republicans want to kill any person coming from the middle east because they're all terrorists.
- Republicans want to deny any American who is not wealthy, any amount of healthcare or welfare.
- Republicans want to take any money from the poor or middle class, not sent overseas, in the form of a tax increase to offset tax cuts for the wealthy Republicans.
- Republicans want to reduce the minimum wage to $2.00 because only the rich should be allowed to eat and have shelter.
- Democrats alone, care for women, children, minorities, disabled, veterans, gays, and so on.
- Democrats want to take another "fair share" from the Republicans to fund warm and fuzzy programs such as free healthcare for anyone in our nation, legal or not; after-all, those here illegally are people too.
- Democrats want to encourage employers to pay everyone a liveable wage because it's only fair, and employers are all rich, selfish Republicans, and they can afford it.
- Democrats want to put as many people to work as possible, and have tried; if only those Republicans would get out of the way - even though the Republicans have little power in Congress or Illinois' General Assembly.
- Democrats want to make sure women are treated equally - give them jobs to get them out of the kitchen and give them birth control so they will not get pregnant, because pregnant, stay-at-home mothers are not real people. They only hold down the rest of the gender.
- Democrats want to make sure all people are treated equally - ex-cons should have the same opportunity to work as, well, me. Teenagers should be able to earn as much as someone with 30 years of work experience. If only those nasty Republicans would get out of the way.
- Democrats want to make sure that everyone is equal in pay and lifestyle, by providing for them from cradle to grave. The rich Republicans can fund this initiative since they have not paid their fair share. Since white, males have had everything given to them for the past 230 years, they will not be cared for and anything they have, must be surrendered to the government, who loves people.
- Democrats have created a thriving economy, but the evil Republicans have taken the money and put it into their off-shore banks, rather than give it to their employees or hire new employees.
The democrats across the nation, cannot run on their records or the record of their party leader in the White House. The few accomplishments tried by Quinn, have not aired in commercials for several weeks, but instead we have been inundated with mud slinging and terrible, unproven accusations. Obama has spoken about his false record in states that will invite him, which is a dwindling few. If either Obama, Quinn or the many other democrat governors and senators across the nation had built a record of success, we would be hearing about these records, not ducking flying mud.
The danger lies in a democratic success, not as much in gubernatorial races, but in congressional races. In 2012, Obama spoke of how his victory was a validation of his policies by the American people. Today, because of this validation, he is using his phone and his pen to circumvent the U.S. Constitution at every turn. For the house to go back to the democrats or for the senate to remain with the democrats, will provide Obama license to suspend our Constitution and EVERYTHING for which it stands. For those who feel that I am fear mongering, we have heard it in Obama speeches many times. He has spoken of "fundamental changes to our system" or implementing his own ideals. This does not mean that he will put a Tootsie Roll in every tax refund envelope. Obama has an agenda, which is in direct conflict with the U.S. Constitution. For Obama to win this presumed electoral mandate, will give him a rubber stamp and there will be no turning back.
There are some who feel an electoral loss for Obama, will not stop but only slow his agenda. With Soviet (yes, I said it) war ships being positioned strategically close to our shores, and a complete change in military leadership in our nation, it has been suggested that we are facing some amount of aggression. Only a short 30 years ago, I was not fearful of my government. Today however, I and many other people distrust this government and fear for the future of our nation. In the United States, a government feared is a government failed. This is not what we stand for!
Tomorrow's election is not about electing someone who will give away free birth control or allow people to smoke dope or allow people to marry whom, or whatever they choose. The election tomorrow is a meant to send a message. It is true that the Republicans of today are not the Republicans of Ronald Reagan, but they are not the fascists currently operating in our nation. If there is any hope for a return to our freedom, it must start with an sweeping Republican victory!
There are concerns of widespread fraud, more-so than in 2012. Anything short of a Republican victory will indicate fraud. I believe that even a minor win for the Republicans will be an indication of fraud, but a Republican congressional loss of any amount, will for me, be an clear indication that we have been overthrown. We will not know until tomorrow if this will be preventable, but every voter must be vigilant. If you vote by electronic ballot, make sure that when you make your selection, it is recorded correctly. If you vote by punch card, make sure your ballot lines up correctly with the booklet and double check your selections. If in doubt, spoil your ballot and ask for another.
The election tomorrow if crucial. The election of 2012 was poorly attended by Republicans, according to the board of elections. As much as you or I may disapprove of the Republican candidates, tomorrow is not the day to make a statement to the Republicans. Tomorrow is the day to clean house and weaken the forces against freedom. As a conservative, I am committed to making this happen. It is not my selfish desires, but the future of my nation, that is on the ballot tomorrow.
