Forward to 2012

My cautionary posting last weekend was clearly too pessimistic and probably influenced by the disappointment which accompanied the UK General election back in May. Likewise, some of the blog posts I read on Monday and Tuesday, predicting a landslide win of in excess of 100 house seats and capture of the senate were overly optimistic. That was not going to happen, at least not yet.

These are early days and although a significant number of people have begun to wake up, many more still continue to slumber. The odd folks of Delaware, for instance, continue to stagger forward like cheerful zombies, obediently voting the way CNN tells them to, and I have no idea what the Nevada voters must have been smoking (or sniffing).

Clearly not all of which was hoped for was achieved, and certain results, such as Nevada and possibly Alaska leave the controlled media a straw to cling to and a half truth they can use to downplay the strength of the Tea Party. Meanwhile the significance of any Tea Party failure will be exaggerated. Christine O’Donnell, defeated by the treachery of Karl Rove, one of the most vicious media campaigns since those launched against first Hillary Clinton and then Sarah Palin in 2008, and a few unwise statements in her youth, will also continue to be unfairly derided in the manner the MSM reserve for those victims they successfully brought down.

However, this remains a very satisfactory outcome in terms of where it places the protagonists in advance of the election in 2012.

Obama has lost his magic and has been seriously wounded and will almost certainly never regain his, one time, Messiah like status. He has been humiliated and a break has been placed on his plans, most of which may now never be achieved. However, the fact that the Democrats have retained a fingernail’s grip on control of the senate mean that they, and Obama will still have to take responsibility for whatever goes wrong and they will not be able to blame the Republicans for their failings with any credibility.

That is not to say they will not try.

The Republicans on the other hand have demonstrated that they are in the ascendancy, which will both motivate their supporters and boost their images as potential winners, whist the Democrats struggle to play down the worst losses in over 60 years.

Failing some unforeseeable disaster, all the Republicans need to do is behave themselves and pick the right contender to run in 2012. That of course will be the challenge, as a suitable Republican candidate is not obvious from the choices currently available.

Some will I am sure encourage the excellent Ron Paul to have another go, but his age and the narrowness of his platform seriously undermine his prospects to my way of thinking. Whereas his son Rand, for all his charisma is not yet ready (Conservatives should not make the mistake the left did, when they put Obama forward before he was ready).

Sadly, in my view, supporting a Sarah Palin candidacy at this time would be a huge risk. For all the lady’s popularity with the Right, and her obvious qualities, unfair as it may seems, she carries too many wounds from the vicious media assaults upon her over the last two and a half years and there is insufficient time for those wounds to heal. Would the American people really elect into power someone who has been the butt of so many jokes, who has been impersonated by so many bad comedians and had their head photoshopped into so much pornography?

I do not know the answer to that question, except that it is too great a risk to take at this point in the fight back. It is not fair, but when the left set out to vilify someone they are vile, they are ruthless and sadly they are effective.

In fact, and much as I hate to say this, I do not believe the Right should choose a female candidate for 2012. Only Conservatives love strong women, the left are far too sexist to forgive any woman who dares to step beyond the limited roles (victim, liberal earth mother or man hating feminist) which Political Correctness permits them to play and they will hunt down and destroy any woman who tries to perform a different role or who stands in the way a preferred , ethnic minority, candidate.

There are few things more blood thirsty and vicious than the left in pursuit of a woman who dares to be conservative, and the public, with their taste for female hate figures will be only to willing to believe what they are told (as they did with Palin).

I look forward to the day America has a conservative female president, at 46, and 54 respectively, in six or ten years time, Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann could be that President, but 2012 is too soon and too important to take a risk.

Finding the right candidate is key, not only to achieving victory in 2012 but also to sustaining power. I can't see the right candidate just yet, lets hope he steps forward soon.

Meanwhile, we can take a moment to enjoy a very encouraging start.

A Note of Appreciation


By Dr. D

The Nov. 2nd US elections are largely complete now, although some returns are still being received from Alaska and other remote locations. There will also be recounts in some locations, although at this point, I have not heard of too many requests for recounts which is good. In almost all cases, we now have a clearly defined winner for each race.

This was a race of major importance, in many regards the very last opportunity to right the ship of state of the USA. Sarah and many of you have given your support and prayers to the success of that effort, and I want to tell you how very much that is appreciated. We have been given a limited victory in this battle. Many good, new people will be sent to Congress, names you have not previously heard, who will begin to change the way things are done there. Among these are Lt. Col. Allan West from Florida and Rand Paul from Kentucky (son of Ron Paul). Regrettably, many evil people will retain their seats in Congress such as Nancy Pelosi (California), Harry Reid (Nevada), Charles Shulmer (NY), and Barney Frank (Mass.) The Republican Party now has solid control of the House of Representatives where all finance bill must originate, so we can hope to see the socialist programs of Obama simply starved for lack of funding. The Senate is almost evenly divided, with the Democrats having a very slight edge.

One of the greatest disappointments, to me personally, is the Arizona House of Representative District 7 race. The incumbent is Raul Grijalva, a nationalized citizen, originally from mexico, and the challenger is Ruth McClung, an Anglo physicist. Grijalva has been described as the best Congressman that mexico has for many years. It looks like Grijalva will win 49/46% after the Dems dumped all kinds of money into the district to prop him up. What a shame! This is right on the border with mexico!

California, Illinois, and NY are on the route to fiscal suicide, and their choices for governor simply push that process along. It is baffling to see any state act in this manner, but it shows their own commitment to the illusions of socialism and the belief that there will always be someone to bail them out.

Without question, the TEA Party movement was the big factor in this whole election that changed everything. Had there been no TEA Party, it would have been for the most part a sleeper and there would have been no big changes. But the TEA Party appeared and shook the foundations, and it is going to continue to do so. In a number of cases, TEA Party candidates won; in other cases, the incumbents had to work mightily to stave off the efforts of TEA Party candidates, something they normally would not have expected. The race for 2012 has begun today, and the TEA Party will be a major force in shaping that race to be sure.

I want to that everyone who has supported the return to Constitutional government in the USA. We are not there, but we are beginning a turn in that direction. Your support and prayers are much appreciated. The spirit of America has been tarnished, but it has not been completely dulled and lost. It will shine again by the grace of God Almighty.

Time for America to prove its enemies wrong

It has long been popular amongst left wing commentators and intellectuals both in Europe within the liberal rim of America, to view the average (white) American, that is to say those living in the bible belt or wider, “fly over” states as being dumb. The liberal media encourages us to laugh like drains at film of Americans questioned randomly in the street, who are unable to identify the location of Iraq, Afghanistan, or even Australia on the map, or who have no idea what country they celebrate becoming independent from on the 4th of July.

The alleged stupidity, racism and general lack of liberal values lurking at America's red heart simultaneously provides the opinion forming Left with both an unending source of hilarity and an army of stereotypes upon which to hang their ideological agendas.

In Europe, we have long become accustomed to watching documentaries filmed in places like Kentucky or Texas, where the locals, who speak in that slow drawl which the media long ago educated us to associate with ignorance and bigotry, have their comments and responses to questions edited and distorted, so that the politically correct interviewer, nodding conspiratorially at the camera, can expose them as ill educated, xenophobic, or, if the narrative requires it, as irredeemably hateful.

The American accent, together with the white South African accent, the German accent and to a lesser extent the Australian are the only accents we remain permitted to mock, and only the American, German and Afrikaner may now (together with upper class English) be reviled.

This, of course, only applies to white people who speak with American, South African or German accents. Colour, plays a huge role in how we have been conditioned to view an accent. For instance, the Southern Belle accent, hailing from places such as Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas when spoken by a white woman evokes in out Pavlovian minds the frivolous arrogance of privilege, inbred racism, and of course stupidity. Yet, let that same musical voice come from the lips of a black woman and we hear poetry and the deep dignified echoes of a noble soul, perfected so successfully by Maya Angelou, and aspired to somewhat less successfully by Chicago born UK resident Bonnie Greer.

Of course it is a conditioned view, an attitude created by a thousand bad movies and though the constant propaganda pumped into our lives through the Stasi approved thought control device in the corner of most living rooms.

How could a country of stupid people become the richest, the most powerful and most successful nation in the world. Asia and Africa are larger in terms of land mass and population, Africa has more in terms of natural resources and, beneath the Sahara its land is no less fertile, yet for all the millennia of world history Europe alone rivals what America achieved in just four centuries (slightly more than two as an independent nation).

America's enemies point to its military power as the cause of America's greatness, but which came first, and was it military might which invented the aeroplane, the steamboat, the microprocessor, the pacemaker, air conditioning(1), a cure for polio, and put the first man on the moon?. It was not military might which achieved those, and so many other great advances from which we all benefit. It was the American people who achieved them together with the prosperity and comfort which they were able to extend to most of their population and who made the American dream a global aspiration by 1950.

The people who built America were not dumb, and they were not the hicks and hill billies which the obnoxious Bill Maher claims half his country men to be

However, from time to time, even the brightest of people can do some very dumb things, and in November 2008 the American people did something so dumb that it goes some considerable way towards proving true much of what their left wing critics say about them. Except that in this instance, their critics would not have considered what they did to be dumb.

In November 2008, the American people allowed a swooning media to persuade them into voting into the most powerful position on the planet a man with virtually no relevant experience, of whom they knew virtually nothing other than that he attended a fanatically racist church and had some very dubious associations. They entrusted the power to destroy the planet to a man who's career consisted of brief dalliance with the law, a period as a Chicago community organiser and an incomplete term in the US senate, where he had achieved nothing other than a reputation as the “most liberal” senator with one of the worst voting records.

Most people who voted for Barrack Obama knew absolutely nothing about him before he ran for president. The blacks voted for him because he was black, and, to some degree, so too did the whites, they voted for a black man to prove to themselves they were not racist, one of the worst sins in modern America, and because they wanted to believe a promise he never fully quantified.

It is now two year on, and it would take either a moron or a fully committed socialist not to realise what a terrible mistake they made. Not only is Obama clearly not up to the job but his every act and policy runs contrary to the best interests of the Average American and to the future of their nation.

In two day's time those same average Americans go to the polls when they have the opportunity to deliver a verdict on the current administration, and also to do something to make up for the damaging mistake they made in 2008. The polls suggest that the result may be devastating for the president and for his party.

However, nothing is certain until it is done, and there remains the possibility that the American electorate will prove that they are, after all, as dumb as their cynical European enemies and home grown liberal traitors always claimed they were. If their enemies are right, then on Tuesday the American voters could show that the greatness which was America has now been brainwashed and dumbed down to the point where they no longer have either the ability, or the will to save themselves.

There are troubling indicators, a US correspondent of mine wrote at the weekend, incredulous at the fact that some houses still proudly displayed Democrat signs. Commentators on TV have suggested that, despite how little attention the current Administration has paid to the nation's security, the latest security alert could influence events in the Democrat's favour, if Obama pretends to be tough enough.

Yesterday an estimated 150,000 people (or 215,000 if you believe the US media, which some dumb people still do) attended Jon Stewart's “Give Barry a second chance he might get better” rally, menacingly entitled “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear", somehow missing the soviet style implication that anyone who does not agree with the ruling administration must necessarily be insane.

Things could go either way, and the presidents colour, and voter racism, may influence events, but not in the way the liars in the press pretend. We must never underestimate quite how racist the black and Latino electorate in America are or how strongly most white voters wish not to be racist. Whatever, their reasons for voting, they know they are delivering a verdict on America's first black president, can they deliver that verdict or will Obama's colour save him at the last moment?.

In the same way as we have been brainwashed about Americans, they also have been brainwashed about themselves. These are, alter all, a people who still believe that racism is a white on black affair, despite all the evidence around them, that lie could still win the day.

That fact, more than the inevitable mass voter fraud by the Democrats and lies the media will surely tell is the greatest threat in Tuesday's election.

America faces the greatest test they have faced in generations will they finally act against the forces determined to destroy them or is all too late?. In just over 48 hours we will know if America can still be saved, or if its people truly are as stupid as their enemies always said they were.
