Our borders have to be secured. Not slightly closed, illegal immigrant traffic not slowed, but the whole process of escaping to America and then disappearing into the crowd has to end. Further, those here now must be found and deported. A thing only worth the cost if the border is secure. And it is not just the borders. Airports usher in, some say, more than half of the illegal population. They simply have to be returned from whence they came. Make it a cost to the airlines, not taxpayers, and I guarantee that behavior will be curbed almost overnight. Nothing is happening on this front, yet. There is not enough federal political power in the hands of conservatives. Not... quite... yet.
What also has to happen is the abortion and divorce mills have to end. American men and women have decided not to have children, or often even to marry. The government and tax codes have not helped. Equal pay (super equal actually), employment entitlements for women, education super equality, a broken "family court system", terrible laws regarding marriage and divorce, and a number of other surprise inducing federal and state actions have all but killed the traditional family (just like the surprise shrinking home sales numbers... surprise, really?).
The last election cycle saw me hopeful but doubtful. Sure, a lot of Rs were elected and many Ds were dethroned. But, what, really, did that mean? Where there to be any real changes, or was one group of manure producers sent in to replace the last group, a bovine being a bovine, and no change to occur? I really did not know. It seems, however, that one part of the necessary change is beginning to happen. In states across the nation, new abortion restrictions are popping up, faster than organizations on either side of the issue can seem to track. Some are on governor's desks, others are making progress, some are merely suggestions or in committee. One of them is on my, Utah's, governor's desk as I write. Perhaps already signed or being saved for a signing ceremony? I can hope.
As is, it has been suggested through census data set to be released soon that 90% of population gains in the last decade... are to minorities. Mostly Mexican and such, who now have (minimally, admitted, using bureaucount procedures) about 50 million people, or one seventh of the population, give or take. Oh yes, things to ponder. I would guess that laws regarding marriage, divorce, and tax rates have no effect on some large part of this population due to the fact that they are here illegally or so marginal income-wise as to be unaffected by such, so avoid laws, taxes, and the consequences to the family, almost altogether.
The rest of it will not be possible until federal power changes hands, and even then we will have to watch. We can do nothing about the current corruptocrat, he has ears for no American. But even as bad as Bush, the Last, could be, we did have his ear. He rolled on at least a half dozen issues, including not ending up with Meyers or amnesty for illegals. Even a typical dumb Republican will dance when we play the harp, with exceptions for Redemcocrats in love with the msm like McCain. Just a little bit, a bit longer, holding fast, we will see this country whole and perhaps be able to pick up the pieces after our, and the rest of the world's, necessary fall from grace. I only hope that, through the pain, we realize socialism is the monster which caused the pain through untions, handouts, public ed, public housing, food stamps, and the ultimate destruction of the family, the free market, and attacks on God. I hope we learn. But for now, let us get things set up for recovery.
And yet, the promised border fence is abandoned and they continue to pour in.
ReplyDeleteLet's also not forget the massive new federal entitlement that was passed into law with a Republican President, a Republican Senate and a Republican House of Representatives. The Medicare Drug Benefit. Socialism courtesy of the Republican majority. You think a return of Republican majority rule will not be anything more than a smokescreen for more destruction?
The United States represents the "tough nut" in the Globalists dream of world government. They intend to break us. Everything happening in this country that makes no sense to sensible people is part of this effort. Our economic power needs to be broken, our will needs to be broken to institute their dream, and every politician who manages to get into power (with a tiny handful of notable exceptions) does so with their blessing and backing and are beholden to their agenda. That's why a third war front in an Islamic nation has been opened, much to the dismay of the lefties who elected Obama, and also to those of us who see the idiocy of what they are doing for other reasons. That's why we are neck deep in debt, no one is buying our bonds anymore except very short term instruments, and the Republican House majority is dicking around with nickels and dimes when $1000 bills are pouring out of their pockets. They are worse than useless! They are providing smoke and noise to cover for the fact that nothing will change and our course is set.
I am done with putting my hope in the electoral process. I would rather set my face to the grim truth than waste another ounce of hope that, maybe the *next* election will somehow produce politicians that are not beholden to the Power That Be.
You know who he is, and you know he could not have offered the temptation he offered to Christ if he did not in fact have the power to deliver on it.
The time is drawing close. The battle lines are becoming clear. And we need to make up our mind for whom we fight and how.
Believe what you wish on that. I do not have faith in politics, more in that I am not sure it can do enough, fast enough. Our system was built to move slowly. Unfortunately, it has slowly moved in one single direction in the last 100 years. So moving back is going to take at least 50 and that is too long given the economic realities. Does that mean that a hard reset cannot work? No. And I think the American people can make sure, at least while we are still armed, that a hard reset will not see us into communism (as is the left's intent).
ReplyDeleteWhat you see as an overriding political power, allowing this and that, is nothing more than the indoctrination that occurs on campuses, campuses controlled by the very left of which I speak. Not only are only certain people allowed through, they are also tainted by the very education they receive. I do not think there is actually an oligarchy in charge of anything, other than that academically tainted people are the ones with power.
Of course, your way or mine, the way is slim. With the family and God being left out of the equation, I am not sure this or the West is worth saving. Of course, considering the only real option is islam since secularism kills itself in short or longer periods... But if the West becomes secular, which it has, it's loss is no loss. As far as islam, as soon as it's various branches get the bomb, they will do what communists do. Kill everyone, each other, those not in their "religion", themselves. It is, after all, a blood cult.
If there is a hope, from what I am seeing with abortion issues and immigration from conservatives, it is politics. How much we can really expect and in what kind of time frame, I don't know. Again with Bush and this or that? As I said, and again, he was a Republican, he was no conservative. The newer crop of politicians is proving much more conservative. If, of course, still fairly weak to my standards. They are timid. But they are indeed working.
