For my friends in Illinois: We are coming up on a critical election in 2014, just 12 short months away. Our current Senator Richard Durbin is in his third term(18 years folks). I must confess that I voted for him the first time. He hypnotized me with his rhetoric just as Obama has hypnotized the entire country. Over the last eighteen years I have listened and watched Durbin transition from a moderate Democrat to a flaming Obama loving liberal.
Illinois has a huge powerful political machine froth with corruption. Durbin is a part of that machine. Illinois has neutered the Republican party and essentially we live in a socialized state.
Today, I learned who Durbin’s opposition is. Doug Truax, an unknown, is taking on the Illinois Democrat Machine. I urge you to visit Doug’s website and become familiar with the next Senator from Illinois.
A day doesn’t go by without Grandma Peggy asking me “who in the hell in their right mind would vote for Obama?” She has a problem believing the intelligent people in America are intoxicated with the elixir of socialism. I often argue that the people who voted for him are not necessarily very intelligent at all. In fact, most are downright stupid.
A good friend, now retired from the Air Force as a Colonel, sent the evidence I needed to make my point to Peg. This cutout from a newspaper is a little hard to read, but trust me it is worth reading, you will laugh your ass off. Remember these people walk among us.
I blame the educational system for this stupidity. We are born smarter than this proud Democrat.
Let me introduce you to Wild Bill. A friend recently introduced me to him and now he is a regular visitor to my site. He is not afraid to report news the “Legitimate Media” will not.
Some of my friends tell me they tire of hearing all the bickering going on about the debt ceiling, withholding taxes, and general business in Washington. They are sick of hearing the barrage of news from the opposite ends of the political spectrum. They want to see and hear a middle ground. Most of these people are Democrats. They argue with me that the constant bashing of Obama and his minions is forcing them to lean away from the middle toward uber-liberal Left.
I agree about the amount of bashing going on, it isn’t pretty. I absolutely don’t agree that the arguments make me want to lean toward the left, I am the polar opposite. An analogy popped into my tired old brain today, and I must bore you with it.
When dealing with a disease like HIV, small pox, chicken pox, polio, diphtheria, etcetera, the disease fighters do not look for a cure that will allow them to go middle ground. They want to eradicate the disease completely, worldwide. Even Leftists agree with the approach. Disease fighters have a very good track record at eliminating diseases. Small pox is gone, diphtheria is unheard of, polio a memory, and so on. What my argumentative colleagues don’t see is that the political extreme of leftism is a disease. Socialism does not work, yet proponents continue to foist it upon the rest of us. I see socialism as a disease worse than small pox. Eradication from Earth is the only positive cure. Worse yet, Socialism without God is communism, and I am old enough to know what the communists did to Europe after WWII. I still have relatives in former communist countries who live the way they did in 1940. Socialism will set the world population back, or at least freeze it at its current status much like Islam did to the middle east in the 12th century.
I believe that the Obama bashing I, and all the others do is trying to eradicate a disease running its course through humanity. There is no room for a middle ground at this point, the right must push the left back to zero if we are to return to a civilized middle ground that allows rational debate, compromise, and civilized discourse to occur. I also believe that the country is so divided at this point that another civil war, much like the one of the 1860’s, looms ahead as a possible solution.
The 2012 choice will be telling. If the country gives the communist leaning Obama another four years to carry out his brand of change, the United States will die. The USA will be in the history books as another has been super power. On the other hand, if the country elects a true conservative, there is a chance for the complete survival of a society based on a Constitution, a belief in God, the Rule of Law, and Liberty for all.
So all my friends who are sick of the Obama bashing going on by the right leaning Tea-Party people, put your brains into gear and decide for yourselves what kind of system you want to live under because the 2012 election is about that.
