Gird Your Loins
So what gives here? I tuned into the Sean Hannity radio program on the way home from work today and he was in the middle of an interview. I didn't immediately recognize the voice of who he was talking to. The topics were Congress, the economy and Iran and the speaker spoke intelligently with calm assurance. Could this be Rick Perry I wondered, the same man who answered questions in the most recent debate as if every word out of his mouth costs $10,000 so he was going to cram as many talking points in as possible? Some might say that this change that I perceived would be due to a friendly interviewer and I'm sure that there would be truth in that but the opposite of a friendly interviewer is not necessarily a neutral, albeit hard, interviewer, for what these Republican candidates faced were questions from men whose sole intent was to embarrass the candidate in some way, shape or form. How absurd is this whole campaign so far! We have an incumbent president who without the benefit of Marxists and globalists who both mentored and used him his entire adult life would not be qualified to head a company of 100 people let alone the United States of America. None of this is ever remotely researched or questioned by a grotesquely obscurantist liberal media. Stop the presses! As I'm writing this, Rick Perry is being interviewed again, this time by Roger Hedgecock on XM Radio. Again he sounds like a rational, intelligent American! Here is the conundrum. How do you approach an American public whose thinking capacity has been dumbed down to such an extent that it cannot discern good from evil, the genuine from the counterfeit. Can the American man remodel his house? You betcha. Can he work in industry or business? You betcha. Can he listen to a politician and navigate the shoals of spin meant to lead him as if he had a ring in his nose? Not on your life. Can the American woman enter the workplace and perform as well as the men. Absolutely. Can she tune into some daytime television talk show and carry on the conversation on any number of complex topics later on with friends? Yes. Can she watch the CBS Evening News and discern any bias at all in a broadcast that should have the word Democrat in the title? Not on your life. Can the college student earn multiple degrees? Certainly. Can he/she identify the campus predator seeking legions of students solely for his ulterior motives? It's not likely. The political gurus know this. The Axelrods have it very easy for all they have to do is throw money and promises around and the carp will come to the surface with open mouths. The Karl Roves have to follow a different plan. Their intent is to latch on to a relatively small number of hot button issues that the conservative can chant. Giggles, cheers and a few boos were from the audience in the debate that I watched that was more like a Miss America contest than eight candidates vying to take the helm of a ship of state already listing in a tempest in uncharted waters. We are living in a time where the clarion call should be "all hands on deck" and "man your battle stations," but we can't tear ourselves away from the dayroom and watching grown men, making millions of dollars, as they play with balls of various sizes and shapes. The typical liberal American is in far worse shape than the conservative for he has been duped by both Marxists and globalists and therefore doesn't really espouse anything, rather he is identified in what opposes. There is a shakedown in process and everything that the liberal claims to love is being taken away, but to pay attention to the warnings would lead to a humbling before Almighty God and this is not acceptable. The conservative thinks that a republican White House and Congress will solve the problem. It won't. We are too far gone. This blog won't convince enough people to fill a house. The only hope in my efforts or even in the efforts of legitimate columnists such as Thomas Sowell, Michele Malkin, Pat Buchanan and many others would be in retrospect, something to look back upon as chaos envelops us, something to research as to why disaster courted us and we acquiesced so easily. Gird your loins folks for unless we humble ourselves before our Creator, Brunhilde will take the stage with her final aria.....and the fat lady will sing.
