Republicans Deserve What They Got--An ObamaNation
What happened on election day was not so much a mandate in support of Barack Obama, but a rejection of the neo-con (Statist) policies of George W. Bush. The American people don't yet realize that Obama will offer very little in the way of change from what GW delivered. All they had to do was hear someone who is reasonably eloquent, and who looks different, say the word "change," and that was good enough for them. Americans are filled with hubris--not with knowledge, and therein lies our country's biggest problem--ignorance.
Obama is nothing but a white man, pretending to be a black man who's pretending to be a white man. He represents change like Britney Spears represents "grace and beauty." He's an illusion--the mirage of an oasis that appears to people who have lived in a desert of lies for far too long.
Half of the people who voted in this country yesterday couldn't tell you anything about their candidate that wasn't spoon-fed to them by some party shill on the boob tube or talk radio, and a good 75% wouldn't be able to articulate any policy objective championed by their candidate, and what that might mean for our country. What it all boils down to is this, Americans don't even know why they vote for a particular candidate. Elections here are more like beauty contests--decided by the superficial--not the substantative.
I can imagine the Republican party powerbrokers back during the primaries forming their strategy about how they might go about winning this election given the fact that Bush is so widely hated by Americans. They must have said to themselves "lets prop-up the most liberal candidate we have (McCain) and try to sell him to the public as a "Maverick"--someone who's not afraid to work with the Left on issues. That's it. That's how we can win." Well Karl, it didn't work. You Republicrats just shot yourselves in the foot. People on the Left saw McCain for what he really is in their eyes--just another Zionist, boot-licking neo-con who would have given America 4 more years of totalitarian government, and real conservatives, such as myself, saw McCain for what he really is to us--just another Statist Liberal who has no right to call himself a "conservative."
Ron Paul, on the other hand, would have kicked Obama's butt. Could you imagine how empty Obama's rhetoric about "change" would have seemed when compared to the message of "real change" championed by Ron Paul in an open marketplace of ideas. On the one hand you would have had Ron Paul, an award-winning economic author, medical doctor, veteran and 25-year congressional Champion of the Constitution who is proposing that we bring all of our troops home, stop meddling in the business of other countries, reduce the size of federal government, cut spending, balance the budget, repeal unconstitutional Laws, and return us to sound money, standing next to a guy who's only significant foreign policy difference with the Bush administration is that he'd at least talk with Iran before he bombs them to to Johannabam and back, and his only real economic policy difference from GW is which class of people he intends to steal money from in order to redistribute it to the international banksters.
Only Ron Paul had the message of real change that would have brought people together from both sides for the cause of liberty. He's certainly proved he can do that. During the primaries, people both from the right and the left flocked to his message of individual liberty and limited government. I never knew such a thing was possible, but it happened, and is still happening now. Even without any lamestream media attention, over a million people have joined his Campaign for Liberty so far, and the numbers are still growing each day. Here was a man who had a perfect conservative voting record in Congress and was always loyal to the Constitutional principles upon which this country was founded, whereas McCain was not. Here was a man who advocated common sense, conservative solutions to the many of the most pressing challenges facing our country, whereas McCain did not. Here was a man who promoted personal responsibility, States rights and limited federal government--all of the things real conservatives are supposed to be about, whereas McCain did not. Yet, the Republican party's neo-conservative powerbrokers turned their backs on him, and they deserve what they got in return for their stupidity--President Barack Hussein Obama.
Perhaps one day, the Republican party will finally wake-up and remember what it really means to be conservative. Perhaps one day, when the American people are able to hear the message of peace, prosperity and freedom again, unsquelched by the corporate, CFR-controlled media that muzzled Ron Paul, they'll flock to that messenger and usher him into the White House. Only then will Americans realize the true blessings of conservatism they so desperately cry-out for, but no longer understand.
Until then, enjoy being a citizen of the People's Republic of America--an ObamaNation of the New World Order.
