Thought For the Day

Almost a year until the midterms, but these type of dismal numbers for the Democrats have immediate impact:

  1. Depress donations for Congressional runs for the Democrats and increase donations for Republicans.
  2. Encourage resignations from Congress of Democrats and depress them from Republicans.
  3. Depress Democrat recruitment for candidates for Congress and encourage Republican recruitment.
  4. Exacerbate Democrat faction infighting, as failure brings out the worst in a political party.
  5. Build up a bandwagon effect for Republicans and an anti-bandwagon effect for Democrats.
  6. Makes passing anything through Congress more difficult, as Democrat members of Congress in competitive districts refuse to stick their necks out.
  7. Democrat criticism of the Biden Puppetmasters administration will swell as we get closer to the midterms.

Such a wonderful turn of events! “What comes around goes around.”

One of these days the left will loose their golden calf, abortion on demand.

I pray that it’s sooner than later.
What a disappointment for the Democrats when Roe is overturned;

[On December 1st, the Supreme Court will hear the first abortion case since Justice Amy Coney Barrett was seated and cemented a solid 6-3 conservative majority on the bench. The case under consideration, Thomas E. Dobbs, State Health Officer of the Mississippi Department of Health v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, involves a Mississippi law banning all abortions over 15 weeks gestational age except in medical emergencies and in the case of severe fetal abnormality. In this case, Mississippi is asking the Court to overturn the long-standing precedent of Roe v. Wade. While the Supreme Court has considered other abortion cases involving state regulations, this is the first case that the high court has taken in which a state is directly asking the Court to overturn the constitutional right to abortion. This issue brief provides background on the legal challenges to the Mississippi law in the context of the Supreme Court abortion precedents, addresses the intersections with the litigation that has arisen from S.B. 8, the Texas 6-week abortion ban, and explains the potential outcomes and how they could impact access to abortion around the country.] -Klm

Exacerbate Democrat faction infighting, as failure brings out the worst in a political party.

After Trump and my new deep cynicism, I’m tempted to amend the above as, “failure brings out the worst in Democrats, success, the worst in Republicans.”

But we’ll see.

And yet 13 Republican Congressmen saw fit to break ranks and vote for the Democrat’s enormous, pork-laden budget. Why on earth would they give Pelosi the votes she needed if they had the Democrats on the defensive?

The power pendulum is in full swing
https://the-american-catholic.com/2020/11/17/power-pendulum/

In recent decades…
• Clinton (D) started with a Democrat Congress
• Congress then swung back to Republican control
• Bush Jr.(R) started with a Republican congress
• Congress swung back to Democrat control
• Obama (D) started with a Democrat Congress
• Congress swung back to Republican control
• Trump (R) started with a Republican congress
• Congress begins to swing back to Democrats in 2018
• Biden (D) starts with Democrat congress
• To be continued…

Over a 100,000 dem votes have been lost in the counties surrounding Allegheny in the last 10 years, according to an email from a Pittsburg friend.

Every time the pendulum has swung back, the resulting situation has been worse. We are literally at the point where the dems want to make it mandatory to inject your children with experimental drugs as they teach them that they are evil solely for being white.

The responsibility of every conservative is to ensure that once it swings back to the conservative side, the pendulum stops forever.

The only alternative is to allow the pendulum to swing freely, but only after the mass expulsion of those who want to destroy our country.

It’s going to be a hard sell to convince me that having the government in the long term control of our side would be worse than what actually happened in the last 20-50 years.

Here is the cost that we have paid:

-tens of millions of babies killed through abortion
-almost all children surrendered to a state educational industry that, at best, teaches them nothing but to hate white males. If they are unlucky they will instead get shot up with experimental drugs, or told that they need to explore their “true sexuality” as a homosexual or the opposite sex.
-Near total destruction of the family structure as well as social trust in almost all communities.
-Almost complete separation of Christianity from “secular” affairs, to the point where more people know about Iron Man’s actions than those of Jesus Christ.
-An eternal de-facto open border.
-Normalization of same sex marriage, transgenderism, contraception and divorce.
-No security for free speech. The government, news, large corporations and banks collaborate (nearly openly) to make sure that certain “unapproved” viewpoints are punished.
-A “rule of law” where the politically favored can riot without punishment and those unfavored can be thrown into solitary confinement for months without charge.

Those are all costs we have already paid. Will any of these be reversed should the pendulum swing? None of them were reversed even when President Trump was in office, despite his efforts to fix many of them, and when the pendulum swung back things only got worse than they were before.

So these are costs that have been paid and will continue to be paid, in addition to worse costs in the future.

Those are the costs we are paying. What would be the worse cost to pay by keeping loyal and rational Christians in power for the long term?

Would you at least agree that, should Republicans gain majorities in both houses, that (assuming he is still alive) first order of business is impeaching and removing Biden? (Followed by the removal of as many deep state operatives as possible?)

No, that would take a supermajority the Republicans will not have.
