Transformations of cultures, and countries and economic systems take time, decades in fact.
I see things happening along these basic lines of evolution.
1946 - A country was at war with some serious evil in Europe and the Pacific. Let's not rehash, but just agree that the vast majority of Americans were patriotic, pissed, but also emboldened by the fact that we kicked the world's ass. Mainly hitler and tojo... We being from the tip of the spear to Rosie the riveter to people buying war bonds to packing food or making uniforms.
My Father was one of those people He was fun loving, but he and millions like him knew what they were fighting for and when they got back they wanted to protect that 'thing'. That thing was Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness - where no one owed you anything but the opportunity for you to make it for yourself.
That was the vast majority of people in America in 1946. They voted for politicians who appeared to uphold those values. They supported freedom and opportunity for everyone - black, red, yellow, gay, or fixated on bulldozer exhaust pipes. Who cares. They knew everyone must at least have the chance to succeed for America to work.
We've progressed to the point people vote for scum sucking anti-American POS's like john edwards, hairy reid, sheila jackson lee, baba boxer who disrespects men of service to the country like a general, john kerry, bawney fwank, chris dodd, the crying kucinich obsessed with aliens machine, pelosi, and hundreds of other POS's who have gained positions of power by disrespecting America and promising POS citizens free stuff, in deference to ALL Else.
Support the muslims who have the stated goal of killing us? No prob. Drug our children for acting like children in school? No prob. Photo-shop images, lie like worthless thieves, misinform, and Not inform, and it's All Good as long as there is a free lunch at the end of the rainbow. Nothing else matters.
It's the people, not the politicians. The scum sucking anti-American POS's will always be there. They Have always been there. People in earlier times simply rejected them. Told them sternly to go back behind the baseboards and don't even come out when the lights are off.
Today? There are too many people who invite the evil into their lives because they are weak and stupid. That's the difference. That's the challenge.
But we've been moving in this direction for about 56 years without doing a U-turn. Who or what is going to cause the U-Turn to occur. Damned if I know, but it sure isn't going to happen when the majority doesn't even understand or care about the problem.
I figure we're on our own to make the best of.
I hope y'all do make the best of.
The "U-turn" as you call began with the birth of the tea party, when Rick Santelli got up on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and called for a tea party as a result of the "stimulus". The rest is writing itself as we speak. The 2010 midterms were the first "landslide" of this U-turn. The problem is that we have RINO's in the Senate who are complicit with the Socialists for the status quo. We will be getting them the hell out of dodge this election. This election cycle is not just for the Presidency, but for control of the Senate as well.
ReplyDeleteDon't let polls sway your enthusiasm or fool you into thinking Obama is actually winning because he is not. There are so many positive signs that show he will be swept out of office in yes, I will say it, another landslide.
Look at what happened with the Chik-fil-A incident -- angry voters utilizing their free speech rights through economic means.
This is what is to come regardless of what you hear coming from the RINO's, Socialists, MSM and all their fellow travellers. They are all politically dead, they just don't know it yet. If the Secret Service is concerned with that last statement just understand I meant it in a political metaphorical way and not a threat against any politico's life litterally.
Rosey, I do think obama is going to lose.
DeleteI just don't think an opposing political force is going to do us much good, because the people will not accept doing what needs to be done to 'fix it'. They can't take the pain. Ron Paul had the best plan for fixing things but most of the conservatives I see around the web had major problems with Ron's ideas.
So, I think Romney will be elected, and will govern in some sort of patriotic, but pastel way, just like Bush did, and jack nothing will get done other than throwing the tranny in neutral for 4 years, (Which I'll take btw over obama). Nothing will happen until the people understand the situation. I have no idea at this point how that is going to come about.
I think what the repubs have done in terms of their party flat out rejecting delegates of for example, the Tea Party, is going to make it particularly difficult for the Tea Party people to gain ground. I don't have all the details, but it's a slow motion process anyway.
No one on the right is running against the crybaby RINO Boehner for example. It's going to take a long time for this to occur even in the best case. imo.
It's taken years for us to get to the point where we are today. It's not just going to turn around with one or two elections. But the good news is that the apathy of the people on the right is gone and we are awake. The Left has been working for years at this...we have a lot of catching up to do.
DeleteThe first step is to get Obama out of the WH, win the Senate and keep the House. It's up to WE THE PEOPLE to hold their feet to the fire after that. We have to make it so that Romney and the gang will feel the pressure to do the right thing. If we get lazy after the election, it will be our own fault if the RINOs take over.
Our educational system has been taken over by the progressives and the kids have been brainwashed. We must teach our kids the true history of our country, right from wrong, morals, etc. As it is now, the kids are being taught that people are destroying the earth, sustainable development and all sorts of left wing propaganda...it just takes a generation to change history.
At least we now know what is happening and can finally take action. The only good thing that came out of the Obama presidency is that we have FINALLY awakened.
TCL, Well I'M not going to throw any water on your fire. Plus you may be right. If so, This the the point at which the turn began. That would be exciting and invigorating.
DeleteI stand ready to do my part til I take my last breath. Hopefully that won't be for a long while.
Rosey's right: our U-turn did indeed start with Rick Santelli's wake up call. The mid terms were a start, then the off-year elections of Bob McDonnel, Chris Christie and Scott Brown. Lately, the cheese eating idiots in Wisconsin pulled their heads out of, er, the sand and beat back the unions in favor of Scott Walker.
ReplyDeleteThings are going our way, Kid. They really are. And this election will, too.
Ok Fredd, I'll join your and Rosey's and TCL's optimism. Ask me and I'll say anything good starts with a positive attitude. Step one in a little over a month.
DeleteFredd, you hit it right on tee (or should I say tea). When you do a search using the words "US Constitution you get 283MM hits. Barack O 189MM. Tea Party 351MM. Democrats 91.4MM. Mitt Romney 83MM (and he hasn't even won the presidency). Republicans 74.4MM. Ron Paul 303MM.
ReplyDeleteYou can see who is getting the traffic the most.
It is an interesting side note that the top 3 best selling books of all time, in order, are:
The Holy Bible
The Qur'an
Quotations from Chairman Mao
The Chairman Mao is a surprise. I'd have thought it would have been The Beatles. :)
DeleteActually, to me it is no surprise, here is why -- there is a religious war being waged across the globe between Islam and Christianity. Whereas Christianity "reformed" many many years ago, Islam is still mired in the 6th century and is now (actually has been) waging their own "crusades" that is no much unlike Christianity during their crusades.
ReplyDeleteThe 9/11 attacks awoke America to this, but the left wing (and the the RINO's) media/politicians ignores this reality which is why I call them mentally unbalanced. The Afganistan and then the Iraq war for all intents and purposes is a "religious" war between Christians (who hold the Holy Bible in the highest esteem) and Islamic fundamentalist's that think the Qur'an is to be followed to the letter of their twisted ideology.
The other great evil fight that is for all intents and purposes is Atheist Communism/Socialism which I feel is our greatest threat because as "the conservative lady" above notes, our educational indoctination centers have allowed this ideology of unGodly atheistic bent has been allowed to be spoon fed to our children and then their children. Socialism and Communism is just another form of religion that the belief that the State is all you need thus replacing God. In fact religion under socialism/Communism is persecuted harshly and with an Iron fist. Goebel's line that "religion is the opiate of the masses" was well understood by Hitler and used it as a tool once the Nazi's replaced Christianity.
Rosey, ? It was only the Mao that was the surprising part. The muslims and Christians go back to the Crusades and probably further.
DeleteHey did you stumble upon madonna's lecture to her paying concert goers to please vote for obama becuase it is so cool we have a 'black muslim' in the White House.
That's gotta be the quintessential Shit For Brains type stuff that goes on today.
I'm sure Cher would join her and a bunch more. They think this is F kindergarten where we all just need to 'get along' and 'follow the rules'. Predators Eat That Shit Up.
The last paragraph was the metaphor for Mao (communism)allure.
ReplyDeleteAh Ok. Got ya. I'd be surprised if many people under 40 even knew who Mao was though.
DeleteI'm too depressed to comment!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think you're right.
And I wish you weren't. What the heck happened to our country? I want it BACK!
Hi Z, If it goes to hell, people have lived through FAR worse. We're doing Ok.
DeleteZ -- If you want your Country back, take it... You are active in getting your opinion out and educating others to reality so, in your own way, you are fighting for America.
ReplyDeleteThere is hope on the horizon as there are many, many more like us (and yes that includes you Kid) who are active in taking this fight by telling the truth as it is -- without censor (while we still can)and trying to make the difference.
Whoever said, "one person cannot make a differece" has it all wrong. Remember Joe the Plumber, Sarah Paline, Ringo Star, er, ok forget Ringo but you get my point....
Rosey, :) I think Ringo is Ok, it's that McCartney that is off the deep end. yes, well, I'll keep on keepin on, what else would I do ?
DeleteFinal thought, for clarity on my statistical comment.
ReplyDeleteFirst, the reason for the stats was to give you a tool for "coping" when you feel glum and defeated each and everytime you read the liberal press saying Obama is leading in this poll or that poll. You can do your own polling by doing these searches and getting actually results to interpret for yourself the "pulse" of what America (and the world by extension) is actually thinking. For instance (my take):
283MM hits for the words "US Constitution". To me this tells me that in spite of the socialist education indoctrination, there are as many people reading the actual document as there are citizens in the country. This is huge in the way of telling me that everyday folks, like you and me, want to refresh ourselves to what our forefathers wrote and how it applies to what is happening today. This exposes those on the left who use the MSM, rogue judges and this Administration in particular to the lies and illegalities of their acts.
351MM hits for the words "tea party". Again, huge! To me the first question that comes to mind is -- are this many people interested in the original tea party, or the modern day version of it? It is a little of the first (for comparison sakes to the modern day version) and alot of the latter. People identify with the ideals of this movement. I know that the readers here surely do as it shows in each and every one of your comments and postings. 351MM WOW! Big hope on the horizon here.
303MM hits for the words "Ron Paul". Again, huge! Ron Paul is infamous for his "audit the Federal Reserve, and individual liberty" rights as well as his conservative libertarian ideologies. His followers are almost cult-like. But the bottom line is that everything Paul stands for most conservative can relate to some and Obama and his ilk cannot relate to any of it. Big hope, again.
Finally, the hits for words "Democrat and Republican" are almost identical and much lower in volume of hits. This shows me that most Americans see both parties as the same and are not so interested in either. Big hope, again.
Rosey, I appreciate it. Good info it is.
DeleteIf this country falls, it will be from within. Liberalism is the cancer and if it is not removed quickly then it will just a matter of time. Vote in 2012 for the sake of the Republic.
ReplyDeleteAdmiral, if people don't vote, I hope they're all democrats or on the fence people.
DeleteBe encouraged-
ReplyDeleteaspects such as the Home School movement- and Historical educators like Dr. Marshall Foster and David Barton- are bringing the truth to light-

I am optimistic about getting rid of obama soon, just not sure about the rest of it. What keeps running through my head is that losers don't care about Any of that stuff.
