November 8, 2011. Write that date down. I can't tell you how much of an influence factors like Motor Voter, paperless (easily hackable Diebold) balllots, ACORN-style illegal activites, the New Black Panthers knowing they can intimidate with impunity, and simililar illicit aspects of ths now-banana-republic-style American electoral process contributed to the outcome. Probably quite a bit.
Even so, the results of two "plebiscites" in America are jarring. Particularly in view of the fragile condition of our way of life, under assault from all angles, and especially looking ahead to 2012, whose tallies will surely determine whether freedom and prosperity have any chance of existing here (and in the knowledge that God's blessings will be indispensable), the results are troubling. But first the "good' news:
The voters in a referendum in what otherwise appears a stunningly liberalized Ohio demanded an exemption for the state from the hyper-socialistic centerpiece of the Obama administration, popularly known as ObamaCare. The outcome will amount to nothing in the face of any unfavorable upcoming SCOTUS decision on the matter, but it does send a message. I hope that similar measures appear on the touch screens of the thirty-five or so more conservative states in '12, that election fraud doesn't dampen the counts, and that the victorious party nationwide will be faced with an enormous mandate to cut the horrrendous program off at the knees.
And in Mississippi voters had the judgment to see through the lobbying of outgoing establishment RINO Governor Haley Barber and prohibited him from taking private land and bestowing it upon megacorps who'd pay higher taxes. Kudos.
Now the bad news:
Mississippi voters (we're told) have contradicted what is now well established scientific fact, spat in the face of the clearly espressed will of God, and arbitrarily sentenced (in the long run) millions of innocent pre-borns to hideous execution, in rejecting an initiative that would have officially designated babies in the womb as what they are - people. "Ole Miss" is the only state where such a topic has come within the reach of the electorate, and possibly the only one traditionalist enough that it could. According to the report of the vote-counting cybersystem, the voters said no.
And back in Ohio, the voters are said to have, in effect, pronounced the death knell for public sector employment and foisted on the rest of us a second, Greece-like, California, when they defeated an appeal to bring government workers (who make about twice as much - in both salary and benefits - as their free enterprise-employed counterparts, and, famously, do little or no positive, productive work) a step or two closer to the real world. A rejected ballot item would have ended, to an extent, the ludicrously conflicted-interest practice (even according to socialist prez FDR, BTW) of obligatory unionism (strikes and all) among that group.
Republican Governor John Kasich has been placed in an impossible catch-22. He does not have the funds - under the Obamaconomy - to provide essential services, and is now denied even the distant prospect of narrowing the outrageously out-of-skew compensation gap between government and real workers. That a hard working laborer in the capitalist world would vote to keep someone, employed in an identical capacity (though, doubtless, doing far less actual work, and, likely, plenty of harm) by Big Brother, earning twice as much money and bagging astronomically higher perks than the voter himself is testimony to the effectiveness of a mainstream media mendacious beyond belief, along with the world's worst (and conceivably its most nefarious) "school" system.
This will plunge a dagger into that state's private sector's ability to compete for talent with the leviathan. Government will have to grow (and confiscate profits) to the extent where nearly everybody is either on the dole or working for either the government or some hideously acquiescent "public-private" entity. And soon, enough people will find this "good life" preferable to actually producing something for a living that the government will be obliged to force people to work.
The United States of Pyonyang will have been birthed (which has been the method to our welfare-state madness for, lo, these many decades of Fabian socialism, regulatory recapture, Cloward/Pivinism, Alinskyism, compassionate conservatism - whatever euphemism you prefer to tag it with). We're already seeing this in California, and in the demands of the Occupiers nationwide.
More than anything, this seems to mark the downfall of the Tea Party. Perhaps even more alarming than yesterday's elections is a recent polll that shows nationwide support (in the low twenties) for that amalgam of hard working, generally Christian, patriots (who refrain from inflammatory rhetoric, eschew violence or even civil disobedience,, and leave their rally grounds cleaner than they were when the given rally began) lagging far behind backing (iin the low thirties) for the Occupydiots (who demand an end to capitalism, replaced by cradle-to-grave authoritarian totalitarianism, and have turned the streets of the nation into lawless, contaminated, burned out metrosexual rape zones).
With the economy in worse shape than ever, one would have thought that yesterday would have mirrored, even amplified, the gains of 2010. It just shows that in an NEA-produced culture, the power of indoctrination and mind control is more of a factor than are common sense reality, the testimony of one's senses, or the overwhelming testimony of thousands of years of the history our kids are no longer taught.
Ya gotta hand it to them progressives.
May God preserve His remnant.
