Know The Opposition….

I am going to guess that most of my readers have solid conservative credentials and understand the fight we are in to protect the remaining vestiges of prosperity we enjoy. I would further suggest that every election cycle is “the most important cycle of our lives” and other such politically motivated over statement that has endured for hundreds of years. I, like you, have watched the current process with fascination and concern. How is it that a lying, cognitively challenged old man, with a record of abject failure, be considered for a second term in the White House? Easy, his viability is a great illusion. Here is how that illusion has risen like the fog above a river on a summer morning.

1. A few hundred dollars, or several thousand dollars in the case of folks who cannot or will not pay off their contractual obligation in the form of college loans, makes a difference. Biden, in a middle finger retort to our Supreme Court, has doled out some 150 billion dollars to these deadbeat college kids. In 1928 Candidate Herbert Hoover’s slogan was “two chickens in every pot”. Folks, this administrations incredible give away of our tax dollars will buy a hell of a lot of chickens. Conservatives oppose this buy out and liberals, particularly progressives love it. Conservative, moral high ground does not guarantee a vote in the polling booth, but money will. Conservatives lose on this issue.

2. Mainstream media has long ago shed its tenuous cloak of objectivity. Its now operates as the third arm of the progressive movement. The media paints the liberal faction as caring about people and wanting to better folks lives, while Republicans are cold hearted and strangely attached to austerity and frugality. Once again, in the voting booth, the last word folks will have heard is that MAGA and Republican interests will not make your life better. Conservatives, in the information era, lose on this issue. The media is in the pulpit, folks, and lies with enthusiasm to a broad audience.

3. The Democratic Party has established the electoral process. You can stay at home, mail in, vote early, vote late, use drop boxes and send your neighbor with your alleged vote to a polling place or box on the corner. In recent months there have been several successful court challenges to illegally conducted elections on local levels. Can this happen in statewide and national elections? You better believe it…..especially if you are a progressive. They know precisely what they are doing and how to do it.

4. Unions, a powerful and cohesive voice, are hopelessly attached to the Democratic Party. Their membership is large enough to tip the scale in our now very close electoral process. To this end, the Democratic Party is tremendously effective in getting the vote out. Again, promises of money is persuasive and they spend as if money grows on trees. How many large, organized factions in America identify with the Republican Party? Beyond the NRA and veterans groups, very few.

5. Our open borders are a further guarantee of Democratic/Progressive political control for years to come. Many local and more than a few national issues are decided by the thinnest of margins where a few thousand extra votes will certainly make a difference. Biden is underwriting his legacy for years to come if these illegals are not thrown out of our country quickly, an occurrence that is not likely. Historians will laugh at his horrible administration, but not at his impact on the future. The Constitution is nothing more than colorful toilet paper at Biden’s White House.

6. Prevarication. The Democratic Party and in particular this White House are liars on a scale that defies description. The latest is that Texas Governor Abbott caused the drowning of a family of illegals in the Rio Grande. Even honest progressives know this administration willfully lies with impunity. The lies give progressives talking points, such as Hunter’s laptop nonsense in the beginning. Talking points sow doubt that translates all too often to a positive result in the voting booth. Democrats do not need facts, they need time, and lies take time to ferret out, usually long after the damage is done.

7. An old legal adage is that when you do not have the facts, then attack the witness. Progressives have painted MAGA conservatives as inherently evil, and attack them at every turn. Why? It is the only effective tool in their arsenal when you have a record reflecting the failures of the past three years. Another example of the Progressive mentality is the alleged Republican desire to eliminate Social Security. It is a pervasive crock of crap, but is still highlighted by the adoring media.

8. Cohesiveness is not an attribute that lends itself to the Conservatives in Congress. The current razor thin majority in the House, especially with the dangerous radical element that unseated the last Speaker, plays to a delighted Progressive minority. House Republicans are like the proverbial monkey with the football. When they gain a foothold, they immediately begin fighting and lose sight of the big picture. Pelosi had very little integrity, but held her pack of jackals together. Conservatives should learn from this……..but have not. Their moral high ground gets in the way of political objectives.

It is a cold Saturday in the Ozarks and folks have things to do. As always, I appreciate my readers. A bit of advice, these points can be debated with a liberal, but not with a progressive. Progressives do not respond to reason….ever.

Have a great week!
