-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! CONGRESS ACTION: November 12, 2000 ================= WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT: It has been said that the people of this country eventually get exactly what they want. In this election just passed the people have spoken, and have shown exactly what they want -- Totalitarianism. Hate. Division. Forget the good of the country, forget our heritage from the past or our obligations to future generations. "Oh, come on now", come the guffaws of laughter from the ever-so-thoughtful, considerate, and tolerant left, "All we want is to provide for those less fortunate, make sure that the wrong people don't get too much wealth or power, and help save the world by enacting just a few reasonable restrictions on the behavior of people and corporations." Exactly. Despite the evidence before our eyes of the tyranny, poverty, and misery caused by seven decades of socialism and forced collectivism in the Soviet Union, and five decades of socialism and forced collectivism in Eastern Europe, we have decided to ignore those lessons and implement our own versions of socialism and forced collectivism. Our versions will turn out much better, you see, because ours will be tyranny with a smiley face, because under our versions of socialism and forced collectivism the "right people" will be in charge. Despite the evidence before our eyes of the tyranny and death resulting from the 12 years of Nazism, we have decided to ignore that lesson and countenance, even encourage, the division of our population into warring factions, in which selected unpopular people and unpopular groups are singled out by opportunistic politicians for demonization and vilification. Like those religious wackos, those gun nuts, those cigarette smokers, those evil rich people, those extremist pro-lifers, like those -- gasp -- strict constructionists who actually think that the Constitution really means exactly what it says. After all, it's not the ever-so-tolerant left who are being vilified and demonized, it's all those others -- and doesn't the ever-so-tolerant left think that our society would be better off without those people, anyway? We still don't know who will ultimately be declared the winner of Tuesday's election. We won't know for at least another week (much longer if the courts get involved), as Florida does recount after recount (now doing a third recount by hand, a process that the Bush campaign has filed a lawsuit to enjoin because of the potential for manipulation); and as the Gore campaign has found a Florida Judge (reported by FOX News to be a Gore sympathizer and known liberal activist in Florida) to enjoin Florida from certifying the recount results until a hearing is held on allegations of vote fraud. Jesse Jackson alleges that blacks were intimidated (which means that Janet Reno is getting into the fray); while local representatives of Miami's Haitian community allege that Haitians were intimidated by democrat poll workers and instructed to vote for Gore. As this drags out, other states with close votes are starting to re-examine their own ballots, and other recounts may be triggered. On Friday, New Mexico was taken out of the Gore win column because of its own close results, and a recount there is likely. The State of Oregon, three days after the election, finally certified the results of their ballots, which are all mail-in (so as not to have any of the messy incidents of self-government, like standing in line at a polling place, intrude on the tender sensibilities of Oregon voters) in favor of Gore. But no matter what ultimately happens, no matter who is ultimately declared President, Gore probably would have won by a large margin, if he didn't have the albatross of Clinton's scandals hanging around his neck, if he didn't have his own Buddhist fundraising, questionable deals with the Russians, involvement in questionable domestic programs, and "no controlling legal authority" problems. Bush ran a campaign based on character, unity, bipartisan governance, and a restoration of honor and dignity to the Presidency, but those attributes were of little interest to at least half of the voters. Gore received his votes by running a campaign of lies, divisiveness, race-baiting, and demagoguery. He received his votes relying on a campaign of pandering promises of payoffs with taxpayer money to everyone in sight, for endless new federal programs. Even if Gore loses, the voting public has sent a very clear message to politicians of the future -- despite what people say about cooperation and bipartisanship, the politics of division and pandering is what they will vote for. Gore has proved that divisiveness, demagoguery, and fear-mongering works. No matter what the outcome, Al Gore already has his legacy. And he is cementing the Clinton legacy as well; because never forget that it was Bill Clinton who pioneered the politics of personal destruction, the politics of division; and it was Hillary Clinton who won overwhelmingly despite her dark musings about some vast right-wing conspiracy. So all those people who voted for Al Gore demonstrate, clap, and dance in the streets with glee, in the hopes that finally, someone in Washington is going to take care of them, someone in Washington is going to relieve them of some of the terrible burdens and stresses of modern life -- burdens like 50 channel DSL or 250 channel satellite service, two-wheel drive or all-wheel drive in their new fuel efficient Algoremobile, Seinfeld reruns or Friends reruns. Terribly stressful burdens like that. But there will still be some stresses in modern life, unfortunately for the helpless and much victimized residents of the "United" States. Not happy paying $4 a gallon for gasoline for your new Algoremobile? Don't complain about it, the guy that you voted for to be President is happy to see $4 a gallon gasoline. He'd be even happier to see $5 or $6 a gallon gasoline, because he really doesn't think that you should own a car at all, and you voted for him. You really should be taking the bus, don't you know. No bus going where you need to go? Well, you have feet, don't you? So you can walk where you need to go. Or ride your bicycle. See? You still have choices in life. And while you're riding that bus, you will have plenty of time to think. Perhaps you'll be able to think of an explanation for your children, about why the wealth that comes from hard work and success in life is so evil, which is why you voted for a guy who will do everything in his power to see to it that your children are not successful in life; why you voted for a guy who, if your children do become successful despite his best efforts to prevent such a calamity, will do everything in his power to take away what they have achieved. Perhaps you'll be able to think of an explanation for your children as to why eighty percent of their earnings will be taken away by the government, to pay for the retirement security and the prescription medications of Ross Perot and Bill Gates and Barbra Streisand. The successful divisiveness of the Gore campaign is already coming home to roost in the Senate, where democrat Tom Daschle, grinning from ear to ear, has threatened to obstruct any legislative activity in the Senate unless the democrats get a "power sharing" arrangement -- equal voice in committee chairmanships despite being the minority party. Just like those European parliaments that share power between elected leaders and the defeated yet intransigent socialists who routinely threaten to take to the streets in mob violence unless they are given power that they did not earn. Jesse Jackson is already in the streets (peacefully, as is his Constitutional right -- ironically relying on the same Constitution that he has such little respect for in other areas) demanding that thousands of ballots that were disqualified because they were marked illegally be awarded to Gore. In response to Jackson's demand that voting be dumbed down even further, like everything else in this country has been dumbed down to placate the ignorant, one Florida election official remarked that if we want simple elections, all we have to do is travel 90 miles south to Cuba, where elections are very simple -- they don't have any. In response to that comment, it is being reported that Fidel Castro has offered to send monitors to help oversee our ballot recounts. Other Gore partisans are demanding that the Constitutionally established Electoral College be abandoned and that Gore be awarded the presidency -- on the basis of judges in democrat lawsuits using statistical analysis to determine what the voters probably intended (if that were legitimate, we could simply do away with elections altogether). Newly minted Senator Hillary has announced her support for legislation to amend the Constitution to eliminate the Electoral College, and some commentators see that as a not so subtle announcement of her own presidential candidacy in 2004 (assuming Gore loses this election), because without the Electoral College all she would have to do is win population-heavy liberal east and west coasts, and several high population cities around the country, and she could simply ignore the vast rest of the country. At least eight lawsuits have already been filed by democrat partisans to overturn the election results in Florida. Gore spokesman Daley has implied that Florida's multiple recounts are just the beginning, not the end, and has demanded that the election be awarded to Gore because of the popular vote elsewhere in the country, and forget the Electoral College. In direct response to Daley's statement, the stock market immediately tanked at the prospect of a long period of uncertainty. So once again in the tenure of this Clinton-Gore administration, the nation is supposed to ignore the law, ignore the Constitution, ignore the good of the country, and simply give them what they want. We are to destroy what little is left of our Constitutional republic in order to satisfy their demands. An American immigrant who grew up under communist tyranny in Hungary -- and is thus well able to recognize the socialist enemy when he sees it -- wrote about the conduct of Gore's partisans in the fight over the results of this election, "The true measure of the looming crisis is the inescapable reality that our political life has become increasingly populated with people who appear unfamiliar with the concept of honor. Such people place the highest premium on acquiring power and will do what it takes to prevail. They are all around us now, and their shrill voices are growing bolder by the hour. Some, like Mr. Gore, still pay lip service to the Constitution, but most are blatantly advocating throwing it away if it serves their purpose. Their incessant references to 'our Democracy' is code for getting rid of the Constitution. . In the meantime, playing by the rules, as the Bush campaign is bending over backwards to do, may well cause the election to be stolen, unless the outrages of the other side are clearly identified as such. . It is frightening to watch the spokesmen for the Gore campaign --- all, all honorable men -- preparing the ground for their assault on our constitutional system. The Rev. Jesse Jackson, another honorable man, has already arrived on the scene and, as usual, is demanding money to organize yet another protest. Others talk about the need to resolve the situation 'in a fair manner.' As we know, in the vocabulary Democrats have inherited from the socialists, 'fair' replaces 'lawful.' There is clear and present danger unless true honor returns to the political process on both sides of the aisle." However the final count comes out, the fact remains that the voting public, responding like sheep to democrat demagoguery, has sent a clear message to future politicians -- that there is no such thing as "the American people" any more; there is only a large land mass containing nothing but squabbling, hating, fighting, pressure groups and special interests. Demanding, whining, selfish. And if Al Gore ultimately wins this election, having done so on the basis of such a divisive campaign, is there any question about how he will govern? Bill Clinton wants a legacy? He has one. The "United" States of America? That "United" part is now nothing more than a bad joke. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. Kim Weissman [EMAIL PROTECTED] *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.
