What Freep thinks of this new poll

To: ScottinVA

“GOPers and conservatives, even in conquered states like CA, NY, PA, MI and the Northeast, still need to make their presence known. Even if we have to go down in defeat, let’s at least make it not because of lack of effort. Make a statement that Obama doesn’t own all of us.”

Sounds as if you see what’s coming — as do I.

This doesn’t mean it’s time to give up the fight. I’ll vote “against Obama” in November, as I know that you will, too. Ain’t no way I’m not goin’ to the polls to have my say this November!

But if he wins again, conservatives must face hard truths about their personal futures and the future of the country as well.

If the Republican party can’t beat a socialist/marxist like Obama, if they can’t defeat someone as extreme as him with a candidate as “smooth” as Mitt Romney, how the heck are they going to win again?

America is “changin’ away on us”, and it’s not for the better. That as destructive and shady an individual as Obama could win the presidency, and then go on to win it AGAIN says more about what a growing plurality of our population wants, as much as it says about Obama himself.

A growing cohort of the population no longer believes in nor wants the traditional Scots-Irish ideal of self-sufficiency and freedom — the republic created for us by The Founders. Rather, they’re quite comfortable to let government be “their new Massa”, and take what it hands out to them, “free of charge”. Except, the handouts come with a hidden price…

Couple this with the inevitable demographic changes that are coming (amnesty for the illegals will certainly be part of Obama’s second term), and within twenty years, conservatives will no longer be able to “raise a national voice” loudly enough to remain an influential force in the government any longer.

What’s the alternative?
How about something like the Amish and Mennonites do? That is to say, conservatives will have to take up their beds and re-congregate into geographical areas (such as certain states) where they will remain the dominant group (both philosophically and ethnically). They’ll have to migrate to such locations which the left will ignore the longest in their quest for power. Conservatives will have to create communities (actually those communities already exist) which will have a decent chance of surviving the inevitable “crashes to come”, as the cities and surrounding areas collapse.

Think of Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451” for a moment. In the novel, the renegade “fireman”, hunted by the authorities in the city, flees to a far-off area where the government doesn’t go and where freedom is still cherished and (like the books in the novel) “remembered”.

How ironic that within fifty years, the country changed so much that “the old ways” are now regarded as dangerous, and those that hold them dear have become “the new renegades”….
