Say Goodbye to America
Posted on November 3, 2008
Excerpt:
No matter who wins Tuesday America is going to be a different country. When the sun rises on November 5, regardless of who the president-elect is, a more un-United States than has existed since the Civil War will wake to dispute the results of the disgusting campaign that has mercifully come to an end.
Whoever the losers, they will believe they were cheated, and will point fingers at those they believe responsible. Almost half the nation will view the winner as illegitimate, and will do everything in their power to undermine his authority as long as he’s in the White House. With this animosity will come a new level of hatred between those of differing political persuasions like nothing our country has experienced in the modern era. Putting it bluntly, and without sounding too much like Rev. Jeremiah “G-d Damn America” Wright, there will be no such thing as Americans anymore.
Instead, there’ll be Democrats and Republicans, Liberals and Conservatives, and encounters between the members of these groups will for years nay decades be at best unfriendly, and at worst quite hostile if not downright violent.
Think this an overstatement? Consider first what Wednesday will look like if John McCain pulls off the upset. To begin with, let’s be very clear about one thing: Democrats believe that if they lose an election it’s because their opponent cheated. It’s never their fault. It’s never because they ran a poor campaign. It’s never because their opponent ran a better one. Heck no! It’s always about voter fraud, disenfranchisement, not enough ballots, faulty machinery, hanging chads, negative advertising, intimidation tactics, campaign finance abuses, you name it.
Such is the legacy of Al Sore Loser Gore: regardless of how many news outlets went to Florida in January 2001 and found that if the counting had continued Bush still would have won, the overwhelming majority of Democrats think that election was stolen….
To make my point, I offer the now overly-discussed Bradley effect and how it relates to exit polls: How many people as they leave the voting booth Tuesday will lie to pollsters about who they voted for? Before you answer, try to imagine the pressures many people are going to feel in certain districts around the country to answer “Obama” rather than “McCain” irrespective of the truth. Also consider the possibility that many McCain supporters will just refuse to answer the question thereby skewing the results…..
Can you imagine the Rodney King-style rioting that might occur as a result, especially when folks like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, and the usual suspects get in front of television cameras blaming Republicans and John McCain for stealing another election, this time from a black man? They’ll be on all the morning shows Wednesday doing what they do best: fomenting hate, and pointing fingers….
On the flipside, although an Obama victory will likely not result in immediate acts of violence, Republicans already feel cheated by this campaign for a number of reasons, and understand full well that they literally have the most to lose in this election; the Messiah, contrary to all his lies on the stump, clearly intends to redistribute wealth, and it sure isn’t Republicans that are going to be on the receiving end of the junior senator from Illinois’ charity….
Once Hillary was tossed aside like so much garbage, media ignored each and every issue that could possibly undermine Obama’s ascendancy while savagely attacking Sarah Palin as well as an Ohio plumber that had the unmitigated audacity to actually ask the Messiah a decent question. Don’t even get me started on how the so-called impartial press overlooked every gaffe and misstatement made by Joe Biden while giving the Messiah a pass for going back on his promise to accept public campaign funds instead opting to raise and spend more money on his presidential aspirations than anybody ever believed possible….
Just imagine the kind of press McCain would have gotten if he had refused public financing, and spent the kind of ad dollars Obama has. Americans likely would have been told virtually 24 hours a day, seven days a week that rich Republicans were trying to buy the election. However, because this is the Messiah, such talk was practically verboten.
Without a doubt, the media playing field this campaign season was as un-level as most Americans have probably ever experienced, or, for that matter ever imagined, and if Obama wins, this is going to leave a bad taste in the mouths of Republicans for many years to come….
And therein lies the real tragedy, for November 4, 2008, could have been a shining moment in American history. After all, a black man is running for president, and might actually win. This should have united the country like never before, and come close to ending the racism that has been one of our nation’s banes since its inception. However, because Obama used race to get himself to this point, while also pitting folks of differing incomes against each other for his own political benefit, it seems far more likely that tomorrow will divide our country like it hasn’t been in over a century ushering back in hatred that will make Martin Luther King Jr. roll over in his grave.

Your points are on target; how sad for all of us. This is the result of many years of chipping away at the foundations of society in every aspect that’s important. There’s been a steady and unrelenting attack on every institution, banking, insurance, stock market, religion in general and the electoral process. The collapse of our system has come from within as we no longer trust these institutions to operate in a fair and impartial manner; this loss of trust is the wedge used to destroy America.
I know when I voted, I didn’t fully understand, but after I voted, I realized that I had made a decision that didn’t support a strong America. When I voted, I realized I voted for someone who would “do it for me” where I don’t have to be responsible for myself. After I made that decision, I now know that I didn’t make a decision based on creating a strong America.
I want a candidate in office that will support me being an entrepreneur, which is what this country was founded on. This country is not about having the government being responsible for you, its about being an entrepreneur and having that self reliant spirit. And that was what this country was founded on. I don’t agree with everything McCain does, and how he campaigned, but he does know a little bit more about being an American and what it means to be an entrepreneur. And that is what this country needs right now, just a little bit more of that. So if you haven’t voted yet, vote for the candidate who will support us in being responsible for ourselves. This country does depend on it.
Agreed. I couldn’t have said it better- shorter, maybe, but not better. I dread tomorrow’s election.
Listen, I know you’re trying to make a point, but websites like this, and particularly this story, are contributing to exactly what you’re saying. You’re very biased yourselves. Can’t we just have compromise? I mean, we could all disagree, but in order for things to work, as we’ve seen these past 14 years, we need people to work together on a solution that’s fair and tries to accommodate everybody.
The problem is that “compromise” is how we got here in the first place.
As for Obama, he might be ACORN’s president but not mine!
The Left doesn’t get to break all the rules (I mean the unwritten rules of propriety) when they don’t have the white house and then expect to get them all back when their guy is in office.
They set the precedent. They must live with it!
Obama might not even be a US citizen. At least he might not have been at birth. So that makes him illegitimate from the start.
Obama, not my President. Obama, Not My Messiah! Obama, Not My God!
I am wondering if there is going to be a riot even if Obama wins. Why would there be a riot since black people should be happy if he wins?
Well, often when say a football team or basketball team wins a championship people will go out into the streets to celebrate. And despite them being happy, still the whole thing turns into a riot.
Yeah, I am sure the blacks are going to be dancing in the streets and probably even celebrate with some liquor and/or drugs. I am planning to stay off the roads tomorrow and Wednesday as I am sure there are going to be some dangerous drivers out there.
Here’s a good bumpersticker.
Obama, not my Fuhrer!
Obama, Acorn, not America, elected him!
War Economy and Change to Distrust
During the primary months, the Iraq War appeared to be potentially the top issue for the 2008 election. Since then, the 1992 campaign slogan: It’s the Economy Stupid has gained ground. More narrowly we have the housing crisis, by Presidential decree the root cause of the financial crisis. The more likely the root causes of both of these crises are Greenspan’s unsustainably low interest rates and the unbridled, unregulated competition by lenders and their financiers.
With regard to the “Terror War”, it is actually two wars, but not Iraq and Afghanistan touted by the presidential campaign candidates. The first war, declared, was Al Qaeda’s War on America; with it central goal to “bleed America to bankruptcy” and the second is America’s “War on Terror”, with Iraq proclaimed by Bush and Cheney to be its central front. Aside from aforementioned unbridled/unregulated competition, our most pressing economic woes are traceable not to the acts of 9/11 but to Cheney/Bush response to the acts of 9/11 and resulting unorthodox War Economy. The “War on Terror” and the Bush tax-cuts have been financed by foreign borrowings primarily by China and OPEC. This fiscal irresponsibility is the primary driver toward Al Qaeda’s central goal and amounts to trading certain economic insecurity for questionable homeland security.
A no-new-tax style War Economy and an overly accommodating fiscal policy have resulted in huge budget and trade deficits. These deficits have accumulated into an unsustainable national debt and an unsustainable balance of payments deficit, which when combined with an overly accommodating monetary policy unleashes “Weapons of Economic Destruction”. The high oil/gas prices, a high tolerance for China’s protectionist currency manipulation and the housing/financial crises are early effects of the resulting destruction and any reversal requires changing the unorthodox War Economy.
The changes necessary to reverse the effects of the ill-conceived 2003-2008 War Economy are unlikely to come from the no-new-tax advocates, who provide President Bush’s current 25% favorable rating. These approvers make-up more than half of Senator McCain’s current support. Unless Senator McCain flip-flops and throws the Bush/Cheney base under the proverbial political bus, promise of change by Senator McCain to address the root causes of economic woes is: Change to Distrust.
This is absolutely horrible. You guys are incredibly biased.
You are absolutely the reason that we are so ‘divided’ right now. Instead of accepting a bright, young politician with fresh ideas for how America can grow in the 21st century, you instead attack him with claims that aren’t even true.
Al Gore DID win in 2000. Any government that calls itself a democracy and then ignores the candidate that won the majority of the popular vote is NOT a democracy in my mind. “Of the people, by the people, for the people.” Notice how there is no mention of the Electoral College in that quote.
Obama will most likely win this election, and rightfully so. He does not intend to ‘redistribute wealth’ like you guys say. His tax plan is simply progressive. And we aren’t talking about leveling out everyone’s income. It is a measly 3% increase for people making over a quarter million per year. The same as the Clinton years. Before Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% that McCain voted against.
“Once you reach a certain level of comfort, there’s nothing wrong with paying somewhat more.” ~John McCain
“I voted against President Bush’s tax cuts because of the disproportionate amount that went to the wealthiest few.” ~John McCain
What we really NEED right now is unity. For whoever the people select today, we should all stand behind our new leader and help him steer this country in a better direction. Help him get out of this economic crisis. Help him end the war in Iraq.
Choose unity over division. Choose hope over fear.
And remember the words of another great President that had some new ideas about our country..
“A house divided against itself cannot stand.”
Chris you’re young and an idiot.
Thank you, Paul!
However, if you are going to make personal attacks on someone’s intelligence, you should at least use proper grammar.
It is unfortunate to see that a call for unity and hope is met with such negativity and condescension. This really isn’t the time for that. We are all Americans, and we are all in this together.
I hope you can eventually see that.
This is going to be a historic night, no matter who wins. Sit back and enjoy it!
Chris:
The USA is not a democracy. We are a republic. It’s a different form of government.
