Courting Kim Kardashian: Reflecting on the Presidential election of 2012

 

It has been a little better than a week since Barack Obama was reelected and the democrats maintained control of the Senate. First let me remind you of this quote: "The Only Way for Evil to Triumph is for
Good Men to Do Nothing". (Edmund Burke) to the millions of Christians and conservatives who sat out the election because Mitt Romney wasn’t your first choice, Evil says “Thank You!”

Look at the election this way, two suitors were pursuing the same woman.  One man was Gov. Romney, the other President Obama.  (Appropriate given the emphasis on the woman’s vote). Governor Romney was courting Ann Darrow. For those of you not familiar with classic films let me remind you who Ann Darrow was, she was the heroine of the original King Kong (RKO 1933) one of the greatest movies ever made. Made during the depression Ann Darrow says a lot about how the country saw itself in that difficult time. Ann was an aspiring actress put out of work when the studio she did extra work for closed, we first see her hungry ragged and tempted to steal and apple, she doesn’t but gets accused of it anyway. Talk about being down and out!  Despite all her hardships Ann maintains her dignity and her integrity. When offered a job by filmmaker Carl Denham she won’t accept until it is clearly understood that there will be no “funny business”.  Ann proves to be hardworking, courageous, fiercely loyal, and full of the good ole American spirit of adventure, as well as being quite a looker! (She’s played by the beautiful Fay Wray.)  Ann’s journey is not without trials (mostly in the form of a 35’ tall ape who takes a shine to her) but all she needed was a chance and given that nothing was going to stop her.  This was the 1930’s American version of a Princess, and it is what America was at the time, down and out but just needing one break to be great again that is who Governor Romney thought America still is.

Sadly he was mistaken.

President Obama on the other hand was courting Kim Kardashian. It may be that Ms. Kardashian is not so superficial and hollow as her public persona implies, but it is that persona to which I refer. Obama offered nothing of substance in his campaign, he just made vague promises he never meant to keep. He steals from her, puts her in poverty, destroys her job, and regards her as nothing more than a sex object, but he says he cares so she takes him. He says Romney hates dogs and women and wants the poor to starve, and (gulp) he won’t pay for her birth control and abortions! So even if it means losing her freedom she accepts it, after all the bill of rights is a small price to pay for free contraception!  She just doesn’t have the intellectual capacity to understand that Obama will bankrupt every entitlement, and that sticking it to the rich will result in less economic activity therefore less revenue to government not more, and will worsen not lessen the deficit. Besides, Obama gave her a phone. Obama-care has free stuff in it, that’s all she cares about, so it will destroy the healthcare system and lead to massive unemployment, doctor shortages and rationing of care. Perhaps when she needs lifesaving care but is deemed not cost effective, so she gets a pain pill instead, she’ll reconsider. Of course then it’s too late.

This is who America is now.  I won’t make any friends with this opinion, but let’s face it, Governor Romney ran an honorable campaign and though he didn’t press some issues as hard as he should have the choice was clear, prosperity through hard work, freedom of religion, support for Israel, and a strong defense or free stuff.  We the people of the United States chose to sell 236 years of the finest Republic in the history of man for trinkets.

Sadly this is not the worst result of the election of 2012. Next time we will discuss the transition from a Judeo-Christian nation that had gone astray to a non-Christian nation.

I said before the election that we could not lose this election and save the country. We lost the country in the sense that we no longer fight to preserve the freedoms of the constitution, we must now fight to reestablish lost freedoms against the growing Federal tyranny. It is a much harder fight, and the chance of victory lesser than ever. Rather we fight as winners or as martyrs matters not. We fight just the same.

So until next time, keep on the firing line.

PS sometime when the country’s not at risk I would love to write a whole post on why the original King Kong was great and both remakes failed to live up to the same standard!  Hint: the remakes were about the ape- the original was about the girl.

 

 

 

Good bye liberty

I wrote this for my son when the election was lost, but i decide that a young fellow in boot camp didn't need any more trouble so i will share it with you and write a personal letter to him when the bitterness has died down a bit.

Dear Son,

I sit here on election night stunned. I am so sorry that my generation has lost the liberty that should have been yours; I only pray that you and yours can recapture it. It won’t be easy, Obama-care will stand and health care will be a disaster, taxes will increase, the economy will continue to suck, but hope is not lost. I know you are busy now but don’t lose heart, our hope is and will always be in the Lord, God can still save this nation but nothing else can. Among the things that gave me the most hope is how fervently gay marriage had always been rejected when the people voted, now we have embraced the abomination,   God forgive us.

God has given us over to a reprobate heart, we have voted for our own demise. I didn’t do enough, that for which men have died is given away and I have shed no blood in its defense, alas the night is young.

The words of Reagan, the brilliance of the founders and the blood of many soldiers are wasted. I honestly believed today would be a new day, a brighter and better day. I am wrong, the dark days have begun and judgment is upon us.  My heart is broken in ways I did not think possible. The greatest experiment in human liberty of all time has been sold for free condoms.

God will hold my generation accountable for what we were given and have squandered, I cannot even find it in my heart to request his mercy. Our freedom of religion is lost; the secretary of HHS now decides what rights religious institutions have. Freedom of speech is lost; we can now imprison filmmakers for offending the prophet Mohamed.  The Obama-care mandate means that government’s power to intrude in our life is unlimited.

I won’t give up, but we have to start over and reestablish freedom from scratch, and how do we do that with a nation that would vote to reelect a man who seeks to destroy it? Men and woman who love freedom are no longer the American majority and American exceptionalism is no more, and that by design. 

Free men and women come join me, as we weep and lament our defeat, then we get up and stand shoulder to shoulder in the Alamo, where we make our final stand.

But remember this, the Lord said “I will never leave you nor forsake you” and for this reason we have hope, by this alone we will endure the terrible trials to come and we will emerge faithful to our principles, though we may not emerge with our lives.

God have mercy on our souls for our nation will be judged exceedingly.

However bad it is we have hope and trust in the Lord that he who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think will perform his work in us until the day f Christ Jesus.

Perhaps my son America will stand strong again, as a Godly and free nation, but only if your generation is far superior to the greatest generation. With God all things are possible.

Love Dad.

A final appeal to the swing states- SAVE OUR COUNTRY

 

I hope God answers partisan prayers.  I am praying for a Romney-Ryan victory, not a close one either, I pray for a 40 state land slide that will serve as a mandate against the Liberal/socialist agenda of the left and give us momentum going forward.

I am also praying for a Republican takeover of the Senate, 55 seats is the specific number I am praying for but 51 would do. Without the Senate we may defeat Obama but the ability to repair the damage he has done will be terribly limited.

Consider this quote from Harry Reid "Mitt Romney's fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his 'severely conservative' agenda is laughable,"

 

So swing states if you elect Romney and keep Harry Reid as Senate majority leader, you set up 2-4 years of partisan wrangling, you keep Obama-care, sequestration and taxmegedon in place, then you can listen to the liberals blame Romney for the diabolical work of Reid’s Senate, until the liberals regain control and finish what they have begun. I beg of you don’t let this happen.

 

West Virginia: if you send Joe Manchin back to Washington instead of John Rease then Harry Reid blocks every attempt that Pres. Romney makes to obtain energy independence through coal production. You say “but Joe Manchin is a friend of coal”, but I say if you believe Manchin will oppose his own party and defy Reid I have some real nice swamp land in Arizona for you…speaking of

Arizona: if you should choose to send Richard Carmona to the senate over Jeff Blake you are voting to allow the rape murder and lawlessness along your own border to continue. Even before I was committed to Romney his immigration stance was appealing and one of his strong points, but Harry Reid has vowed to prevent Romney from doing a damn thing to fix the border. You need Flake to save the border and give Gov. Brewer a chance like Massachusetts needed Scott Brown to stop Obama-care…

 Massachusetts: you sent Scott Brown to Washington to stop Obama-care, thank you it would have worked if Harry Reid had any respect for the law or an ounce of integrity in him. Now if you elect the liar Elizabeth Warren to the Senate Obama-care stays as does Reid. Please don’t abandon the future for my kids, and the security of our nation like this! Speaking of security…

Virginia: are you really considering voting for Tim Kaine? The DNC chair for Obama-care and reckless spender to boot, Kaine pretends to be a moderate for 10 minutes going into the election and you would buy it? The only spending cuts Kaine will support are in defence, so our nation will be weaker, still broke and the northern Va. Employment picture will be decimated. We need George Allen, the way Mitt Romney needs Ohio…

Ohio: Josh Mandel is everything we need in the US Senate and a vote for Romney must also include a vote for Mandel or the Romney agenda is stalled before it starts, like Pennsylvania steal and coal…

Pennsylvania: you can decide everything, you can end Obama’s reign and destroy Reid’s tyrannical hold on the Senate, how about a Romney-Tom Smith sweep for the love of God and country… speaking of God…

Maryland: are you really willing to sacrifice religious freedom for free contraception? Support for Obama-care means just that, Daniel Bongino will defend your religious freedom Ben Cardin will not. Does that mean anything to you? If you love liberty show me….

Missouri: Todd Akin believes in life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, Claire McCaskell stands for abortion, regulation and the pursuit of graft. You can show the nation and the Republican establishment that you love the former by voting against the corrupt incompetent McCaskell. While we’re sticking it to the establishment…

Indiana:  Richard Murdoch won the primary fair and square, we conservatives are always told to support the moderates for the good of party and country when they get nominated but we see the spoiled brat attitude that the RINO”S have when they lose in the disgraceful conduct of Richard Lugar, who would see the country go to hell in a hand basket rather than support conservative Murdoch. We saw the same with Scozzafafo in New York and Murkowski in Alaska. Let’s show the establishment just whose country this is!  Remember how well Scott Walker did in the recall in Wisconsin? We need to reward true conservatives…

Wisconsin: agriculture cannot survive Obama’s EPA. Romney cannot fix it without the Senate. If you give us Tommy Thompson instead of Tammy Baldwin we have a real chance for the future, or you can vote Democrat and drive the final nail in the coffin of the family farm and support the death tax all in one fell swoop.

 

A reminder, we may win the election and still lose the country, but if we cannot win the country if we lose this election.

Next time we will lament freedom lost or rejoice in hope renewed, until then keep on the firing line!

 

A personal stake in the election

For many years I’ve watched my kids walk through doors.  Ever since they were old enough to walk into dance class or Tai Kwon Do on their own I always watch to make sure they are safely inside before I pull off.  In recent years I have seldom had to take my son anywhere, since he has been driving himself, but yesterday I dropped him off at the Army recruiter and said goodbye. From the recruiter he went to MEPS then off to basic training. Even though he hasn’t been a child for a while, this was the last time I will ever watch him walk through a door as my little boy, he is a man now, he has made the choice to serve his nation as a soldier and I say God bless him. He is a fine man and my best friend, the little boy that used to look up to me has now become my hero.

 

One of the last things he did before taking his journey was to vote. As are many soldiers, he is of course a conservative Republican who loves the nation and the freedoms we have been entrusted with.  He is praying that he won’t do his first hitch in the service with Barak Obama the Bungler of Benghazi as his commander and chief.

Would you want your son to serve under a President who watched in real time an American consulate being attacked for seven hours and did nothing? He will not answer a question but was more than willing to erroneously blame some goofy internet video and the guy who made it ends up in jail. This is the America I want my son to defend? The cover-up of Benghazi makes Watergate, Monica Lewinski, and Iran Contra combined look like a traffic violation yet our media is not only quiet but complacent in the cover-up. If we are a nation that would reelect the President of the Benghazi affair, we deserve what we get.

My son’s oath will be to the constitution of the United States which Barak Obama ignores, he issues executive order to replace legislative action, He ignores laws like DOMA which he doesn’t like, he sent guns to Mexico to sway public opinion on gun control and as a result Federal agents as well as hundreds of Mexican citizens are dead.  He sabotages every attempt to produce our own energy and wastes BILLIONS on phony energy programs. He has acquired layers of debt my grandkids will be saddled with.

The President opposes religious freedom, as with his Obama-care mandates and battles tirelessly to kill as many babies through abortion as possible, (including infants born alive in failed abortions). The security of the country will fall into disrepair, freedom will be at the discretion of the secretary of HHS, and the only spending cuts that will be made in the cycle of debt and spending which will continue unabated, will be trillions from the defense budget. Don’t think however that the military will be used less, or that the Navy the size of the pre WW1 navy will be taxed any less.

The free enterprise system will be crushed and the pursuit of happiness will be denied my son’s sons. Poverty will grow and the middle class will shrink, the land of opportunity will be just an also ran.

I am not offering any new thoughts today, only a reminder of what is at stake in this election. Will we have Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness or not.  For me its personal, my father and his shipmates spilled blood into the briny Pacific in 1944 to leave us a free nation, my son risks his life to preserve it and my generation is on the verge of losing it.

Keep on the firing line for the sake of the soldiers!
