"A person whose house
is only open on the west can't see the Sun rise at dawn. It's only seen when the
Sun sets at dusk. If one tries to compare the color and appearance of the two,
one will go on arguing forever. The fault lies not with the vision but with the
closed windows. If you look out of only one opening till the day you die, you’ll
never see anything new."

Now most of our readers don’t know Robert
Berger. However a few conservative authors have felt the sting of his
acrimonious criticism. He is a died-in-the-wool, set-in-stone, rabid Democrat
New Yorker that takes a perverted pleasure in critiquing conservative articles
from his distorted, socialist, Democrat point of view. Over the years we have
saved several of his rants just to get an idea of where the other side stands on
the issues, even though where they stand is one of the reasons that America is
in so much trouble on so many different fronts. Here is just one response to one
of our articles from Mr. Berger:
"Sir: You are a complete and utter
imbecile! Barack Obama is NOT a "fraud and a phony!" In fact he is probably the
best thing ever to happen to America, the greatest president in US history and
the man who has saved America from near destruction at the hands of the GOP, the
imbecile George W. Bush and the de facto former president, the monstrously evil
Dick Cheney, who makes Benedict Arnold look like a
saint!
"Donald ‘Chump’ is a crude, vulgar,
loud-mouthed POS who has no more business being president than Kim
Kardashian."
"He is a lousy businessman whose
businesses have consistently gone bankrupt. Anyone who thinks he would be a good
president is an idiot! Not one of the GOP candidates is even remotely fit to
be president and each one would be absolutely catastrophic for this country and
the world!"
"Hillary Clinton is America's only
hope - we cannot afford to elect another GOP imbecile president next
year."
"You are more full of it than all
the sewers of the world combined! The GOP has been hijacked by the Christian
lunatics of the religious right and has become the most evil, corrupt and
dangerous organization on the planet. Who needs Iran, the Taliban, Al Qaeda and
ISIS to destroy America now that we have our own Christian Taliban in our own
back yard? Wake up, dude!"
We do not know Mr. Berger’s age, ethnicity, or
where he grew up, so we do not know what has shaped his opinions and beliefs.
Mostly what Robert Berger wrote in his other rants was not fit for print and was
a transparent window into his soul. Rather than logically debating the issues we
raised in an article, he resorted to generalities, coupled with ample vitriol,
invectives and expletives not deleted. It fits well with the Democrat MO of
demean, berate, or silence the critic if you can’t debate the
issue.
It would be pointless to cover those issues in
the above rant that are factually challenged. Suffice to say, Robert Berger
represents the mindset of the millions of people on the Democrat/Socialist side
of the American political divide that would vote for a corrupt Hillary, or
socialist Bernie.
That there is an ideological divide in America
is abundantly obvious to anyone that is paying attention.
The contrast between the two opposing sides is
stark indeed and growing wider. The Democrat/Socialist wants the government to
control, manage, regulate, take your money to buy votes and enslave you. The
Conservative wants to be left alone by his or her government to create, work
hard, prosper and be generous when he or she does prosper. The Conservative
wants government to confine itself to the limited powers contained in the
Constitution. It isn’t.
But that’s not the point. The point is, when one
ideological point of view takes hold in the American mindset, the nation is
shifted in that direction. Today, the Democrat/Socialist controls the national
mindset and has the majority votes. That they have the majority votes is no
accident. It was part of the plan when the Progressive Movement took hold in
America over 100 years ago that led to the 16th
Amendment, the New Deal, Social Security, farm subsidies, the War on Poverty,
Medicare, Medicaid, radical environmentalism, massive regulations and now Obama
Care.
President Wilson, a Democrat, and the bankers
gave us the 16th Amendment that appears to violate three sections of the
Constitution. FDR, also a Democrat, took advantage of the Great Depression and
the people’s vulnerability during difficult times, to ram through as many
unconstitutional socialist policies that he could in his three terms in office,
under the Democrat banner. President Johnson gave us the War on Poverty, which
has obviously not been won.
Obama has done much the same with equal fervor
and for the same reasons. Obama Care is one of Obama’s most cherished
achievements that he accomplished with the help of all the Democrats, without a
single Republican vote.
The question we raise in the title more broadly
approached is "how do we convince over 100,000,000 Robert Berger’s, that
have the majority vote, that the side they are on has done more to harm America
than it has to done to help it." That is no small
task because once an idea is planted in a person’s "Little Black
Box", it takes an act of God to undo that idea,
especially if they have grown up with it, or are profiting from it, as are
millions of Americans. It’s even worse when a political party promotes that idea
through propaganda, lies, distortions, myths and unconstitutional legislation to
maintain political power, with the aid of the media, academia, the public school
system and the public treasury.
We covered our "Little Black
Box" theory in an
article dated October 28, 2012, wherein we wrote: "The ‘Little Black Box’ theory
explains many facets of normal and abnormal behavior in the vast majority of
humans. It explains radical Islam. It explains a Hitler, a Stalin, a Mao, a
Mussolini, a Saddam Hussein, a Gaddafi and a Bashar Al-Asad (current brutal
dictator of Syria) and it even explains an Obama. a Putin, or a Trump. But it
also explains why we are Democrats, Republicans, Baptists, Catholics,
Protestants, Muslims, Mormons, communists, socialists, Marxists and a whole host
of other belief systems. We are who we are because we have been "shaped" that
way by genetics and by our immediate environmental influences at an early age.
Unfortunately, none of this content in the ‘Little Black Box’ is as a result of
our own personal adult choices."
In the "Little Black
Box" theory, it makes no difference what the idea
is, or which political party the idea is aligned.
At some point it becomes necessary to look
closely at the two sides and determine which side has provided the greatest
benefit to society, in keeping with the principles upon which America was
founded. Any analysis of the two sides will prove beyond a doubt that the
Democrat/Socialist side has done more to damage America’s core foundation, its
financial stability, its human fiber and done more to reduce liberty, than the
conservative side. It was the Democrats in Congress that tried to block
Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, as well as the 14h Amendment and it was the
Democrats that founded the Klu Klux Klan. Why the Black race has aligned itself
with the Democrat Party is unfathomable. It is the Democrat/Socialists that have
written and passed every piece of social legislation, including the Internal
Revenue Code, a Gestapo-style collection agency.
But even logical arguments will not sway someone
who is emotionally, illogically, or genetically locked in a particular mindset,
like Robert Berger. What’s in their "Little Black Box" is a closed subject and will only be changed under extreme
circumstances.
Since logical arguments won’t change what’s in
the "Little Black Box", it obviously follows
that it will take extreme circumstances to alter their convictions. What
circumstances can we envision that would make that change? A financial collapse
of America would have a tremendous impact on the American socialist mindset,
since the government largess that is propping up socialism and the votes to
maintain it could vanish. A major violent conflict with one or more nations
could have a similar effect, although less so. We have been through wars before
and it has not altered the trajectory of the Democrat/Socialist movement in
America that the Robert Berger’s of the world so freely espouse.
There have been many attempts by well-meaning
individuals and groups to stop the slide into socialism. Many of these
individuals and groups are still active. But it is readily apparent, that slide
has not been arrested from those attempts. Rush Limbaugh, a powerful and
influential conservative radio talk show host, has been on the air for going on
27 years and nothing has changed, except Limbaugh getting richer.
America hasn’t reached the point of a civil war
or a revolution yet, so what else could peacefully return America to the rock
hard principles of a Constitutional Republic that preserves, protects and
defends our liberty? The votes aren’t there, so it simply can’t be done at the
ballot box, no matter who is president.
There is really only one peaceful way and
it has to be done by the people themselves. The people have to begin to unravel
the corrupt, good-old-boy, entrenched, legislative, judicial-political "system"
that has brought America 100 plus years of growing socialism, declining freedom
and perpetual Democrat/Socialist strangling control. We covered some of this in
our article entitled, "The System – Impenetrable,
Inflexible and Unyielding."
Those people that are voting for
Democrat/Socialists certainly aren’t going to do it. It is left then, to those
who are fully aware of what is at stake and will give their all, in large
numbers, to start breaking the "system" down.
It is almost impossible to start breaking down
the federal "system" in that it is too powerful, at least for now. The effort to
dismantle the "system" must begin at the county and city level (with one
notable exception) and then grow to the state and federal level as victories
are celebrated in local jurisdictions,.
We first announced a three-prong plan to
dismantle the "system" at the local level in our last article. We had a little
over 150 visits to the web page we created for it, but only one person decided
that the Plan was worthy of a response. If people don’t finally realize
you can’t buy freedom on the cheap, or for nothing, the "system" will remain in
tack and growing more corrupt by the day. Our Plan, fully implemented, will
begin to tear away at the corrupt fabric of the "system" and it makes no
difference who is President, or what party is in control of
Congress.
We encourage you to take a look at what
we are proposing by clicking HERE. We are serious about defending freedom. Are you? We
can guarantee you, Robert Berger and his 100,000,000 plus Democrat/Socialist
compatriots, who are in the majority, have no interest whatsoever in maintaining
and preserving individual freedom. Their only interest is in preserving their
political power that maintains the conduit to their "free" stuff, by the same
means that Robert Berger employs ….. demean, berate, or silence their
critics.
The Democrat/Socialist Party of America believes
in and promotes the collective, not the individual. That belief is in direct
conflict with individual, unalienable, natural rights as written in blood in the
Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution. That false belief is the
antithesis of liberty.
Preserving freedom is up to the millions of
those who will put everything on the line with courage and conviction, as did
those brave men who founded America at great cost, in revolution, over 200 years
ago. Hopefully, freedom-loving Americans will not have to repeat that act to
save America from committing intentional, national suicide.
Unfortunately, very few people ever see
tyranny coming until they are fully enveloped by it, when it is too late to do
anything about it but fight and die.
