© 2018 Jim Spence - As the November mid-term elections approach, it is time for
all of us who find keeping up with the never-ending power grabs by big-government
totalitarians tedious, to admit we are going to have to ENERGIZE and turn out
in DROVES if we hope to prevent the destruction of what has been accomplished
over the last eight years in New Mexico and the last twenty-one months in
America.
There are three types of people in America. We have independents
who want to be left alone. We have GOP activists. And we have Democrat
activists. Of course independents don’t trust either party any farther than
they can throw them. This being said, for good reasons, independents had had enough of Barack
Obama after a very short period of time, simply because he lied to us about what he
would do. Many of us liked our health insurance and then saw our choices destroyed
and our deductibles and premiums skyrocket after Obama promised what he was
doing would produce just the opposite.
Most GOP activists have businesses and/or jobs in the
private sector. In short, people with businesses and private sector jobs know something
about competing to make customers happy.
On the other hand, most Democrat activists milk taxpayers through
big government. Accordingly, they pursue political power 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, 365 days a year. Most Democrat activists don’t care about the
economy, simply because they have no direct connection to a good economy. Providing
customer satisfaction is not what they do all day because, they get their funds
from government where a culture of customer service-orientation is non-existent.
The Kavanaugh circus is a call to electoral arms for
everyone who voted for change two years ago. The efforts to affect sweeping
changes in Washington have produced tangible results. We wanted and we got
higher real wages, a doubling in GDP growth rates, lower taxes, and rising consumer
confidence. Consumer confidence is up to an eighteen year high. Because we have gotten what we hoped
for two years ago, virtually all Americans are better off.
The responses from Democrat activists to higher wages and
historic improvements in employment for all Americans have been nothing short
of astounding. They have either ignored or denied the good. Only Obama, who realized how much
good has been produced, actually stepped forward recently to not only acknowledge the improvements, but predictably, to try to take credit for them.
Democrats big play right now is a smear campaign and they have plenty of help. Dozens of classmates of Brett
Kavanaugh have been receiving phone calls from “reporters” digging into Kavanaugh’s
background. Digging into a nominee’s background is totally appropriate. However,
the reports are, that these reporters are not merely seeking the truth about this
judge, they are trying to get former students at Yale to level charges against
Kavanaugh. When no charges are forthcoming during the early part of the phone
calls, leading questions are asked by reporters with negative overtones towards
the judge implied. When there are no corroborations to these implications, the reporters hang up and
the responses to their calls are not reported, they are discarded.
Here is the bottom line as the beginning of October 2018 looms.
The call to arms seems pretty clear. If you think America was headed in the
wrong direction for decades and the changes coming about since early 2017 are
a major improvement for our country, you must not only reject Democratic Socialist
candidates (there are no other kind). You must talk to people you know who are
sitting on the fence and encourage them to vote with you, so that we do not
backslide in the direction of decline and decay. It is really that simple.
Sadly, those of us who realize that things have improved,
cannot simply get on with our busy lives and think the problem has been fixed.
We have only made what could very well could be temporary improvements. The
reason why they could very well be only temporary, is because Democratic
activists will never rest. They will never realize they support too many stupid ideas. Instead, they will double and triple down on idiocy. And they have 90 percent of journalists and educators behind them and their smear campaigns. Not only is this coalition downplaying the improvements we all see, they are going to
continue to prey on the uninformed, and encourage them to buy, not just into dumb
ideas, but into their absurd smear campaigns.
Folks, we finally have a political foothold on some real economic reform in this country. But it is as tenuous as the early stages of the fight for Iwo Jima. Let’s not allow ourselves to get pushed back down
on to the economic beach and shot dead. We have to keep fighting the battle of good ideas and good results, while the other side lies and plays the smear game. Please pass this on if you
agree. It is time to turn out. Independents cannot indulge in the luxury of sitting back and hoping.
