The Consequences Of Elections

by JASmius

....that's pretty much what Wayne Alan Root spends six minutes lamenting:





I dunno.  Part of me is obligated to point out that dire straits such as these are precisely why the Founders warned Americans of all future generations to be vigilant.  Another part of me is constrained to point out that the country has either moved significantly to the left since late 2008 or grown so complacently ignorant and apathetic as to make no practical difference.  Still another part acknowledges the likelihood that the 2012 election was, indeed, stolen (though it'll never be proven, and thus is an academic exercise at best), in which case we're already hostages to a dictatorship and any attempt to "take our country back" is nothing more than a futile gesture that will run the increasing likelihood of punitive, even brutal, retaliation.

All these thoughts were stirred in my fertile brain by Mr. Root's irritatingly cutesy-pie "amber alert" sloganeering.  I get what he means by it, but it really does beg the question: Who can answer that "amber alert"?  We've always been the ones that come to the aid of others around the world languishing under tyranny.  Now that we've inflicted it on ourselves, who's going to save us?

I know what fire-eating TPers would say; my counterpart here posts it all the time.  So I'll leave you this quote as a point to ponder:

There never was an Underground that freed its own country.  All of them had to be pulled out of the soup by an invasion from outside.  Nobody is going to pull us out.
