Day: November 9, 2008

Note, the 2.X volume of The Road Ahead will briefly touch on the politics of idiots, and what we can do to provide remedial education for such self-handicapped voters.

The schizo voter:

Even as black voters overwhelmingly backed Barack Obama — a homosexual-rights supporter — in the presidential race, about seven in 10 of them voted against same-sex marriage, compared with about half of white voters.

Denise Fernandez, a 57-year-old black woman from Sacramento, said she voted for Obama and Proposition 8. “I believe a Christian is held accountable,” she said.

Let’s see, she–along with over 70% of blacks who voted for California’s Proposition 8 (marriage=heterosexual, monogamous union)–saw no problem with asserting that “I believe a Christian is held accountable,” was a valid reason to vote for Prop 8, but voting for a man for the presidency who is an ardent supporter of Black genocide is completely disconnected from accountability because… he’s supposedly “Black”?

WTF?!? “Black genocide”?!? Yep. Aborted babies are disproportionately “Afro-American” babies. Black women are only about 17% of the oopulation, but abortions of Black babies runs at about 35% of abortions. Obama supports open season on babies in utero, therefore he supports killing off Black babies at twice the rate of Whites. Heck, this doesn’t even fit well with his “blame Whitey for everything” past, but there you are.

How to reach people with such a disconnect?

Well, for one thing, we can’t tell them to their faces that they are racist idiots, though they are. What we can do is constantly, unremittantly, without ceasing (what I say three times I really, really, really mean :-)) shine the light of truth upon what The Triumvirate of Greed and Envy says and does, because the Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind won’t. In our every contact with others–especially The Others who hypocritically voted against their self-proclaimed “principles”–we must firmly press the truth into theiur hands, clearly funnel the truth into their ears and carefully point their eyes to revelations of the record and current behaviors of The Obama-Pelosi-Reid Triumvirate of Greed and Envy.

Without ceasing.

But. Couple such firm, continual truth feed with offers of genuine help–however small–in dealing with the woes brought about by The Triumvirate of Greed and Envy. Only by demonstrating a genuine concern (genuine concern offers genuine help) to individuals who are negatively impacted by their creepily hypocritical votes against conscience and even against their own UNenlightened self interest can we make genuine converts to the idea of genuinely voting ones principles.

It’d be a start.

Next up: what are genuine conservative principles… and genuine liberal principles? Given the state of current public discourse, Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind propaganda and Academia Nut Fruitcake Bakery “education” you might be surprised to find how close real liberals and real conservatives are.

In The Road Ahead, “3.X” series, I’ll be looking at our responsibilities as citizens.

Romans 13:1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4For he is God’s servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. 6This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

If you are not a Christian, then the passage quoted above has no power for you. But if you are, mark well: you are enjoined to obey the law and to show respect to civil authority. Peter makes clear elsewhere (I Peter 2:13-20), that obedience to civil authority extends even to abusive civil authority.

If you don’t find those scriptures and others persuasive, let me make an appeal to conscience. Our society owes a deep debt to a tradition of the rule of law. While we see that tradition widely abused nowadays–often by those charged with enforcing the law–that does not render our obligations null and void. People of good conscience will obey the law and seek to change bad law by good conduct, working within the system to make changes as much as humanly possible.

Praying meanwhile for divine intervention in the cause of justice.

But more, it is our duty as citizens in a representative republic too much tainted by a legal fiction of democracy and dominated by a political elite and their bureaucratic leeches, to work, to strive, to peacefully militate for good law, justly enforced.

To that end, I am asking for contributions–through comments or guest posts (contact me via email or in comments if you wish to guest or cross post on this subject matter) dealing with, “What I can do to make our government, our laws and their administration, more just.” Anything from the nuts and bolts of building a precinct structure to effect political change to pressuring congresscritters and others to Do the Right Thing–and any other common sense actions that common citizens can take–is welcome.
