RIP VAN WINKLE SYNDROME AND THE UNITED STATES ELECTORATE

RIP VAN WINKLE SYNDROME AND THE UNITED STATES ELECTORATE

RIP VAN WINKLE

The mythical Rip Van Wrinkle wandered into New York’s Catskill Mountains a few years before the American Revolutionary War and  stumbled into a group of silent, unusually dressed men playing nine-pins and drinking a stout brew. They are the spectral crew of Henry Hudson’s ship who mutinied against the famous explored and set him adrift at sea never to be heard from again. Rip, not one opposed to lollygagging his life away, joins the players in a little libation and fell into a deep sleep that lasted twenty years.

DON’T SLEEP THROUGH THE REVOLUTION

When he wakes up he finds out he slept through the American Revolution. His wife had passed away, and all his buddies have died in the war, and his son and daughter had grown up. The moral of the story, of course, is that many people prefer to sleep through tumultuous times and ignore the salient issues of their day. They refuse to take arms against the evil of their generation, instead abdicating to the will of other more strident than they. They desert their children and cowardly surrender without a fight. These are the “Summer Soldiers and the Sunshine Patriots” that Thomas Paine spoke about; and they will, as Paine so succinctly warns us, “shrink from the service of their country” when circumstances grow difficult and the battle is fierce.

SUMMERTIME TEA PARTY

Today America is over populated with sunshine politicians, and summertime tea party congress persons who have abdicated the battle field to the anti constitutional progressive forces that have taken arms against the American constitutional way of life. The American electorate has wondered into the woods and prefers to sleep through the war against the liberal forces that are destroying our American dream, our children, our Godly heritage, our capitalistic economy, and our American traditional values. The citizens are intoxicated on the grog of free entitlements; they have slept away the last twenty years while the anti constitutional revolution took place. Now America awoke to bankruptcy: we have bankrupted our freedoms, we have bankrupted our liberty; we are morally bankrupt; we are financially bankrupt; we are spiritually bankrupt; we are educationally bankrupt; we are constitutionally bankrupt. We have sold our souls to the Superstate that is quickly becoming a fascist intolerant Federal totalitarian bureaucracy.

Like all great civilizations before us, we are imploding from within; we have become a bankrupt people.

SOWING THE WIND AND REAPING THE WHIRLWIND

SOWING THE WIND AND REAPING THE WHIRLWIND 

Whenever there is talk about cutting the Federal Budget; the retort is always that every voter wants to cut somebody else’s benefit but not their own. Many people talk a good story but when they get in the voting booth they most always vote their own pocketbook. Some insightful pundits are very skeptical that people with no health insurance will vote for a candidate that vows to repeal Obama care.

SELFISHLY VOTING

This selfishly voting your own pocket book is what has caused the problem originally. Large groups of people greedily lust after free give aways like senior citizens, poorer people, illegal aliens in need of health care, illegals in need of education for their children, lower middle class, and middle class folk who would simply rather not pay for health care but freeload on their neighbors, children who want free nursing home care for their parents while preserving mom and dads inheritance for themselves, corporations that want those big tax deductions, and politicians and bureaucrats who have million dollar retirement and benefit packages. It seems everyone has their hand in the pocket of Uncle Sam.

HALF OF AMERICA RECEIVING BENEFITS

Actually more than half of the families in America are receiving some kind of government benefit. Many believe that they are owed the money because they contributed to Social Security, and Medicare every week in their paycheck deductions. Like any pension or annuity plan they paid in so their are entitled. The fact that it is a ponzi scheme doesn’t affect their righteous demand to a benefit. Additionally, we have murdered 70 million children in our death clinics so the new employees, and their children, who were to pay for the Baby Boomer retirees have been butchered and killed. The net result: America is destitute-we are completely and totally bankrupt.

THE GRAVY TRAIN IS STOPPING

So any rational person would conclude that no matter how legitimate their claim on the Federal Government, no matter how much they paid in to their favorite entitlement, no matter how dependent they are on the government give-a way, there is quickly coming a day of reckoning when the gravy train will stop. The Superstate has exhausted its income and its assets. So do we destroy the country in order to pay out money to recipients, no matter how legitimate they believe their claim to be, or do we try to save the country and return to American constitutional government and preserve America for our children (at least the children that survive the womb).

ENTITLEMENT BOONDOGGLES

What have the heirs of the Superstate entitlement boondoggles gained if they have a promised payoff, but collapse the country while trying to collect their payout? In fact, what have we accomplished if we vote for these Big Government hucksters who support these entitlements but lose the country?

AMERICA FINANCIALLY EXHAUSTED 

America is financially exhausted; our coffers are depleted; our dollar has been eviscerated; our moral compass is broken; we have aborted the goose who shall have laid the golden egg; our future is dismal; we have lost our soul is a quagmire of immoral government decadence.

YOU CAN SAVE AMERICA

You have a chance to save this sinking ship of state this fall. You can vote for Ron Paul and reject all the other anti constitutional Superstater’s from both political parties or you can go down with the ship. It’s you decision-you have to live with the result.

THE HERD MENTALITY OF THE AMERICAN VOTER

THE HERD MENTALITY OF THE AMERICAN VOTER

Out West ranching is big business. You can still see the ranchers driving their herd of cattle along country roads. I once was in Meeker Colorado when a huge flock of sheep came wandering down the mountain. It was like a tidal wave flowing across the land; but yet the shepherds and the dogs were guiding the flock in a certain direction. Although the sheep seemed to occupy every square inch of terrain some how the mass moved in one direction.

The Herd slowly moves in one direction

People are much the same. Once the shepherds and the dogs “head them up, and move them out” the herd slowly moves in one direction. Any wandering or stubborn straggler is quickly headed off, rounded up and returned to the herd. Today the American voter is moving along with the herd. The Federal government has fleeced America of their wealth, built up layer upon layer of bureaucratic regulatory policing agencies, the federal ram rods have spent upwards of 100 trillion dollars on moronic boondoggles, and the political shepherds have driven the flock away from the lush green pastures of the Constitution into the barren wasteland of the Superstate.

Our American Ancestors

Our American ancestors were a hardy bunch who refused to be corralled into the tyranny of the government and demanded freedom, individual rights, an end to slavery, prosperity, local control of their future, and a small limited government of the people, by the people, and for the people. But today’s sheep are week and the bureaucratic wolves have moved in among them and are growing fat by feeding on the life of the political sheep.

Herd Mentality

The political campaign is a prime example of the herd mentality. We have Romney, Gingrich, Santorum and Obama all Superstaters who want to drive America into deeper big government debt, banish business and jobs out of the U.S. with the whip of taxes, fiat money, and forced outsourcing. They want to rule the world by melding in the internal affairs of other people. They want to squander away the lives of our military patriots by stampeding around the world running over other peoples and other countries.

Ron Paul 

The preverbal question is “are you better off that your were four years ago?” So I ask are you better off than 40 years ago. Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, and Obama have all been intimately instrumental in creating the god awful mess we are in today. They all voted to create the massive debt we are bequeathing to our children. They all lobbied for and voted for the job killing regulations that are forcing us into a third world economy. They are all worked hard to craft the federal oligarchy that is leading us all off to slaughter. They are all the problem not the solution. Einstein said that, “insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result,” if you vote for these big government politicians you will get more big government-nothing will change. None of them will substantially change a thing in America but will just keep on herding the dumb American voter toward the feed lot and then on to the slaughter house. Ron Paul is the only game changer.

Our Constitution

America was built on the foundation of God given rights, we were nurtured on the Constitution that guaranteed limited government, and we were raised in the school of individual responsibility. If we want to be free; if we want to be prosperous; if we want to pursuit our happiness then we must turn this country back to the wisdom of our Founding Fathers and to the glory of Our Constitutional government. If we don’t we will surely fall.
