Don't Feed the Bears
Fun Quote:
"Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others."
--Groucho Marx
On November 2nd the respectable conservatives won a big election. The so-called "religious right" turned out in droves to support their man. For the first time white people in "flyover country" began voting as a bloc, even if they didn't see it that way or understand it at the time.
Bush has said he wants to take advantage of the political capital he gained in the election. So of course, he completely ignores the people who put him in office. Actually, he spits right in their faces. He is now DEMANDING amnesty for 10 million illegals. He is appointing a cabinet that "looks like Mexico."
Bush is rewarding the people who voted for him by DEMANDING their displacement. In the mind of a "respectable conservative" like Bush, Hispanics and other non-white immigrants are the same as whites, only with darker skin and an accent.
Of course, if you are a regular WhitakerOnline reader, you know that whatever is "in the mind of a respectable conservative" has no relation to honor, decency, or loyalty. It has no concept of actually doing something FOR its own constituents.
Many people voted for Bush because they couldn't stand the thought of Kerry getting in, which is an understandable reaction. But if every election comes down to a choice between the lesser of two evils (which is the way it has been in America for the past several decades), what separates us from the Communists?
No more democratic constitution was ever written than Stalin's Soviet Constitution of 1936. Every Soviet Republic was given the right to secede. Freedom of speech was guaranteed. Everybody voted in every election. In all the thousands of elections held in Communist countries there was not one case in which less than 99% of the voters turned out.
North Korea once had an election in which it claimed a 100% turnout!
In the Communist systems, people were allowed to choose between two candidates, two APPROVED candidates.
Did they really have a choice?
Two Sides of the Same Coin
|
Did the Communists hold REAL elections?
Absolutely. An election gives the voter two sides, BOTH sides, to choose from. The voter was given a ballot with a list of candidates put forward by the Communist Party. You could: 1) not mark the ballot and drop it into the ballot box; or 2) mark out any names you didn't like.
If a candidate didn't get fifty percent of the vote, the Party had to come up with a new nominee.
That never happened. But you had TWO choices. You could choose between "both sides."
And, it was a secret ballot. You could take the list behind a curtain and mark off any names you didn't approve of.
Going behind this curtain presented a minor problem. You were in a room where Communist Party members were sitting. If you wanted to approve the entire Communist Party ticket you simply took the ballot and dropped it into the ballot box. Almost everybody did not go behind the curtain and loyally dropped the list straight into the box.
If you took the ballot behind the curtain to mark some names off, several Party members saw you do it. Oddly enough, not only did over 99% of voters turn out, but over 99% of them voted a straight Communist ticket.
But "both sides" were represented.
In America we have free speech because "both sides" are represented. Both leftism and respectable conservatism are supposed to be given equal time. But what if you aren't a leftist, a respectable conservative, or somewhere in between?
If you are not one of the "both" sides, then you go behind that curtain.
And people see you do it.
There is a reason that wildlife parks ask people not to feed the bears. And it isn't because they will become fat and lazy like the squirrels around Washington, D.C. parks (not to mention most of the bipeds in that city). No, it is because they will come to expect being fed, and become very hostile and violent and kill or maim some unsuspecting tourist.
Bears do that because that is how bears are. Respectable Conservatives betray their constituents because that's how they are. When Bob Dole said during the 1996 Republican Convention that "whether your ancestors were here before the Revolutionary War or you just crossed the Rio Grande, you're just as much an American," it didn't mean that he had a high view of Mexicans or other non-whites. It means that he thinks of YOU as just another wetback.
When George Bush DEMANDS amnesty for 10 million illegals because "we need concessions from Mexico" that is like me saying that I ask my dog for advice. It takes complete contempt for one's audience to say that.
What on earth do we need from Mexico? The only reason Vicente Fox should ever come near the White House is to rake leaves.
So the next time you encounter a Bush zombie, or a drooling "Hannitized" moron, realize that they aren't just slightly mistaken. They aren't just picking the "lesser of two evils." They are feeding the bears.
