"Why Have RINO's Jumped On Obama's
Wagon?"

Rural America"

Moan, groan, puff out your chest, pull your
hair, or gnash your teeth and the numbers won’t change. After over 100 years of
buying votes, the Democrats have conquered the nation ….. with votes, using your
money. Think of any constituency group and the Democrats have the plurality.
Whether it is women, the elderly, gays, transgender, blacks, Latinos, or Jews,
the Democrats have them and these groups aren’t going to "switch" any time soon
….. unless enough of them are broke or scared.
The entire Democrat ideology has been
institutionalized at every level of government. Every single Democrat-sponsored
program, from Social Security forward, is broke or going broke and sending
America deeper into irrecoverable debt. The Democrat’s Obama Care just
accelerated the path to insolvency.
With the tools of propaganda, hype, lies and
distortions, the Democrats have been successful in painting conservatives as
racists, misogynists, bigots, haters, extremists and anti-American, all the
while promoting their own anti-freedom policies of the collective, dependency,
multi-culturalism, political correctness, radical environmentalism and the
one-world-order. Individual freedom is the farthest thing from their minds.
Individual freedom doesn’t buy votes from the millions of Americans that have
become wholly dependent on government, at the expense of those who work.
Democrats have taken compassion to the irrational and
carried it to the point of insanity, for votes, on the backs of the
taxpayers.
Most of the news media has aided and abetted
this century-long mindset shift in the body politic. Our public schools and
colleges are infiltrated with this socialist dung. Parents of the last two to
three generations have been immersed in it. Our children are being brainwashed
in it at home and at school. When they grow up they get jobs in government or
education, thereby perpetuating and propagating this radical, un-American image.
The officers and employees of powerful corporations, like Google, Facebook and
Twitter, are carriers of the Democrat disease that punctuates and influences
everything they do, including censuring conservative speech using computer
algorithms, or biased editorial boards.
Democrats won’t be happy until we are all in
chains, dependent on and subservient to an ever-growing government, with them in
control of the political power, as well as our land, our water, our food, our
energy, the Internet, our communications, our health care and our money. Spying
on us everywhere, will become ubiquitous and Orwellian, as they weed out the
patriots, mavericks and malcontents among us. If you challenge their words or
authority, you will just disappear.
The hard truth is, Democrats go after votes with
promises of money or benefits and then deliver on those promises at the expense
of America’s financial security. Republicans go after votes based on fundamental
constitutional principles. The Republicans are right, but that won’t help them
win the popular vote, much less the Electoral College, with millions of
dependent Americans who believe the War of 1812 was fought against the
Russians.
But if you are a Republican-Establishment-RINO
and you want to get re-elected and are without honor, you are going to "go"
where the votes reside. You don’t care about principle. You only care about your
cushy government position and the power, money and perks that come with it. It
makes no difference if you are in the minority, or the majority, just as long as
you keep getting re-elected.
Why do you suppose that Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan
and the other RINO’s are scared to death of Trump? He has alienated large
portions of the very constituency groups the RINO’s are trying to pander to, or
win over. He’s shaking the timbers of the Republican Party and stirred up a
hornet’s nest in the electorate. They are afraid that as Republican
Establishment RINO’s they will suffer what they perceive to be a coattail-demise
from a Donald Trump campaign for President. Instead of getting behind him with
all their might, they trash him. The Democrats and the media are eating it up to
the detriment of the Republican Party ….. and freedom.
Why do you think the term RINO came into being?
Those Republicans still guided by conservative principles have split with the
Establishment class who will do anything to get elected or re-elected, sans
principle. In order to get elected or re-elected, they have had to sell their
collective souls and move left, considerably left. They won’t do anything that
might ruffle the feathers of Democrat constituency groups for fear of losing
votes and that is why they give Obama everything he wants. They won’t chance a
veto because they believe it will be turned around and used to denigrate
Republicans ….. again, just like what happens when the Republicans shut down the
government for all the right reasons. Republican Establishment RINO politicians
are cowards and have become unbalanced and paranoid.
Republicans can’t win with any less than 50% of
the women vote that is split between a woman’s right to choose and pro-life.
They can’t win with any less than 40% of the Black and Latino vote that have
been hypnotized, mesmerized and bought off by Democrats. Why do you suppose
Democrats want open borders?
Republicans can’t win unless they get over 50%
of the elderly vote who have been bought off by the Democrat-created programs of
Social Security and Medicare. They won’t get the LGBT vote for sure because
conservatives still believe in the sanctity of marriage and the nuclear family
of one man, one woman and some well-balanced kids and the LGBT community
doesn’t. Republicans can’t win even if they have 100% of the white male
vote.
Is it any wonder that Republicans are split so
badly? Is it any wonder that the gap grows wider by the day? Is it any wonder
that Trump is so controversial and an antithesis to the Republican Establishment
RINO class who don’t care if they destroy what is left of the Republican Party
because Trump isn’t "one of them?" Democrats
get behind their own, right or wrong. Republicans "eat" their own, for sport.
Republicans had better ask why and fix it before America becomes a one-party
nation, if it hasn’t already.
But wait! There is a wildcard in all of
this. The electorate is driven almost entirely by emotion and is
thereby fickle. Most of the electorate doesn’t give one whit about
Constitutional principles. However, they do care about jobs and the economy and
they do care about national security, especially after the terrorist attack in
Orlando, Florida and the threats of more attacks by ISIS or ISIS sympathizers.
Trump plays heavily into the electorate with these two vote-rich issues.
It wouldn’t be the first time that the
electorate shifted in a presidential cycle. After 4 years of Jimmy Carter,
Americans went big-time for an actor that made people feel that America was
still a shining city on the hill. Now Trump is no Reagan but nevertheless Trump
exudes confidence, boldness, energy, power and the dedication to help America
reach its full potential, while at the same time going after our enemies with a
vengeance.
During the over 230 plus year history of
America, presidents of all stripes, character, persona and flaws have served
their country. Some have served with dignity and honor and others were lack
luster or just plain not up to the job. Some were hopelessly corrupt. All have
shaped America in one form or another. Depending on your perspective, the
shaping was either good or bad. As the presidents have shaped America, so too
has the Presidency shaped each president. They either have grown in the oval
office, or have become diminished by the job.
Along comes a Trump. He constantly says,
"I am going to make America great again." He
says his victories will just keep on coming, to the bewilderment of all
Americans. He will make our military stronger than ever. He will build up our
economy beyond our wildest dreams. He personally, will negotiate deals that will
make our heads spin, because he is the great dealmaker. He will show our
enemies, including Russia's Putin, that when he draws a red line and it's
crossed, there will be severe consequences. Millions of Americans were eager
to hear these kinds of words that Trump utters and rushed to support
him.
Trump is a powerful, successful man.
Unfortunately, his untamed mouth makes him prone to gaffs and stretches of the
truth, if not outright fabrications. Like most men, he has flaws and is
individually thin skinned. The flaws and the thin skin will either doom him or
propel him to greatness.
Nevertheless, no matter what the general
population thinks of him on either side of the aisle, he has managed to capture
the adoration of millions of Americans. It remains to be seen whether he can
keep the current momentum going all the way to winning the Presidency, or will
open his mouth one too many times and choke off the votes he needs to win over
that part of the electorate that wants more jobs and a better economy and wants
America to stand up to its enemies and permanently defeat them.
The harsh reality is, Trump wins or loses on the
electoral vote. Right now, as the Electoral College exists today and without a
voter revolt, Trump loses and Hillary, or some other Democrat wins. But never
underestimate the populous vote as they just found out in Great Britain when 52%
of voters dumped the ruling class in the European Union.
It’s up to Trump and all other Republicans, RINO
or conservative, to back him because he wins or loses on Republican and
Independent votes and crossovers from Democrats. Sit out the election, or write
in another candidate on your ballot and you give your vote to Hillary. It’s that
simple. A vote for Hillary or any other Democrat is a vote to permanently
destroy America and liberty.
A lot can happen in the next four months and
what happens will shift the vote one way or another, because as we said, the
electorate is emotional, fickle and hopelessly uninformed. Our political world
in America rests atop the sharp point of the sword of fate and random
probabilities. Sadly, emotion, not intellect, rules.
