Mid Term Election

Some thoughts, in no particular order, prompted by the events of last night’s election:

The Republicans have won a signal victory by an craven tactic of announcing no policy positions and making no promises, but merely by standing by and not being Democrats, as the Democrats announced no policy positions and made no promises but threatened women with an imaginary (and straitjacket-levels of lunacy screaming) Republican war on women, and threatened Blacks with the imaginary Republican racism, as demonstrated by such famous Republicans as Bull Connor, George Wallace, Lester Maddox, Orval Faubus, Nathan Bedford Forrest. The Democrats historically showed their love for Blacks by blocking anti-lynching laws, opposing Emancipation Proclamation, the Thirteenth Amendment, and the Fourteenth Amendment, is claiming that Republican proposals to prevent voter fraud are racist.

So, while the Democrat defeat is well and richly deserved because of the mind-boggling stupidity of their campaign strategy, I have heard no national Republican figure, no, not one, vow to abolish Obamacare, nor even to de-fund it. I have heard GOP leaders already make public statements eagerly promising to compromise and urinate the victory away into the gutter.

I have heard no one vow to abolish the EPA, the DOE, the NEA, the IRS, nor to execute by slow hanging Supreme Court Justices from the eaves of the Capitol dome who have betrayed their oaths to abide by the Constitution.

Antiabortion ballot initiatives passed only in one state but failed in two states. The Republicans did not actively support these measures, or, rather, if they did, I heard nothing of it.

Christian gentlemen, these heathens are not our friends, and they do not believe what we believe, and do not believe in Him in whom we believe.

Gentlemen, this is not the victory, but the beginning of the battle. Gird up your loins, sell your coat, buy a sword.
