YES, in fact, y'all are asking to set aside principle. You're asking me to vote *FOR* every damn thing I stand against... because Democrats.
FEAR.
The point of Conservatism since Reagan is for the conservative factions to support each the other's immovable principles. The unity of the Reagan Coalition.
That is where I laid my word. It is the only fealty I owe.
And doing the right thing is doing what's right, according to those principles we stand upon.
That is not what y'all are doing.
IF the Democrats manage to entice voters, lie, cheat, and even steal their way into power, we face a tsunami of Socialist BS unheard of in World history. Why unprecedented? Because they will have technology and information on everyone from crazy cat ladies to sewing circles to political parties that was never before available and the means to do something with it. You posted something they find offensive 15 years ago, they'll be on it, and they will have AI to dig it out and hunt you down.
It would be a definite compromise of my principles to
not try to stop that.
I recall the words of a little old lady who lived on the other side of the road where I lived for a summer in Virginia. "I won't see it, but there will come a day when you kids will have to stand guard on your food with a shotgun." Those words rang true, then, and still do. Yeah, I'll go there. It may take that and more to defend our homes, property, families and rights.
Keep in mind what we face are the people who tracked people from the streets in front of the Capitol on 1/6 to their home in Alaska. Only they now have some 11 million potential shock troops who are here illegally.
Even a squeaker of a victory (like Biden's swing state margins) however obtained, will be seen as a mandate to press forward with Mao's
Little Red Book in hand, not the US Constitution, and by the end of a second term, there will be nothing much of the Republic left to fight for on the National Level.
I know, there is always the hype, this is the
most important yada yada yada,
everrr!, but like the boy crying 'Wolf!' that doesn't mean there aren't hungry predators ready and waiting to shred the sheep.
White, straight, conservative males are at the top of their hit lists, just look at the propaganda--me especially, because I am a patriarch in the truest sense of the word. I am the elder of my clan.
Do I fear them, individually? No. They are pampered perfumed pu**ie*. One on one wouldn't be fair. But they don't fight that way. They have no honor nor constraint.
But given the power to order others who lack conscience, who will '
just follow orders', and given the ability to dig up something that can be presented as an Original Sin against their all (too) powerful State, only their lack of competence would stand in the way of the destruction of anything resembling America.
We have no idea how many 'followers of the prophet' have been brought in who would gladly go on the hunt for Christians and Jews, and with State backing (ours), that could be a problem. If conflict ensued, by the time that hit the media, it's be all about how evil violent (misogynistic) white supremacist right winged extremists attacked those poor
jihadists religion of peace folks...
The enemy (yes, I'll use that term) has already demonstrated the desire and ability to censor any information or opinion differing from the approved narrative, has demonstrated the ability to distort any information (or exclude it) to support their narrative, and the sad part is that almost all of the Media are there already or being used in ads that make it appear as if the media were saying what the Harris campaign is putting out, to appear to be far more supported than they actually are.
You've seen the 'bandwagon effect' at some point in your life, where people go along with the perceived majority to fit in (like the Bolsheviks pulled in Tsarist Russia), and it still works, whether you're voting for prom queen or president. And no, that isn't why my head is where it is at. But I realize if Harris gets to ban fraccing, what new oil wells (and gas wells) that do get drilled will produce at far lower rates, less efficiently, which means that as current wells coming on line deplete to their more stable production curves at ~20% of their initial production, the new wells coming on line (assuming any get drilled for economic reasons and slow ROIs) will not produce at the same rate the fracced wells did. That means less oil when the two year window closes. That means more higher prices on everything, because motor fuels will go up too. Obama will have his $10/gal gas, maybe even higher, and everyone will suffer except those who make the rules. Add in the rest of the Green New Deal, and it will be a real mess.
I'd like to avoid that, personally, and not see the kids go through it, either.
I have lived lean, and can do it again, even if it is getting harder.
Noting that none of the Harris websites I checked out did anything but ask for money, and did not state ANY policy positions, Democrats and others are free to project what they want to see on the Harris/Walz combo and they will, just as they did with 'Hope and Change'. Most of the electorate hasn't been paying that much attention to what she said when, so they can 'whitewash' (is that racist?) all of that with anything they think people want to hear, and in lieu of a written platform, change it for any audience, anywhere, anytime and the only contradictions will b from those who can get a post through on social media, because the MSM isn't going to carry the story.
There is a very real possibility that they will win, not necessarily because they get voted in, either. Because, by now, they have mastered the Art of the Steal.
If the thought of having them in power doesn't scare you just a little, no wonder you are having trouble walking, and I reckon you're downright bowlegged.
As for me, I am not so worried for me, because God is still in control. I do worry for the 30 descendants (and counting) that follow me who may not have my faith.
Nope, I haven't seen what I want, either. Simple as that. I'm not voting for, per se.
I have seen what I definitely DON'T want, and I'm voting against it.
If I had my druthers, there would be a "None of the Above" option on every ballot for every race. I have a feeling I'd use it a lot. But it isn't there. Withholding my vote remains an option, but not this time, not for me, anyway. If you'll recall, I voted Constitution Party in the past. And it won't make any difference if I do withhold it, because this state will vote Trump, anyway, as will yours. Vote your conscience. And Pray for America.
