We’re not at safer streets yet. We’re not even close as long as we have unreasonable gun laws. We’ll have unreasonable gun laws as long as public servants loathe our independence of them.
Gun laws continue to keep streets unsafe by disarming only the target. Knowledge of this is cloned into other programs where electorate tolerance is known and abused.
To understand American indignation at government servants for precisely that kind of abuse of due process just won’t be enough this November. The electorate will have to step up its threat assessment skills, i.e. discernment and how to connect gun control to these daring abuses. The Congress and other progressives would never have the confidence to put this upon us without gun control preceding it all, this “What’re ya gonna do about it?” mentality.
After gun control, the left has learned these from the electorate’s mild reaction to the notice of even more gun control:
1. Smear will accelerate. Smear works. Take note that smear is increasing now in scope and intensity. Smear is not political opinion, it is underhanded lying. Thinking this is too harsh an analysis morphs into a strength of the left: our own self-doubt and the dissolve of our resolve. Discernment is a life skill, and in November, it will be life-saving.
2. Voter Fraud can intervene and sabotage the Vote.
3. It’s a long hallway from the election to swearing in. The left both unseated and re-elected will be doing as much damage as they possibly can between November, 2010 and January, 2011. Those unseated will be vindictive and will retaliate to work like the Devil in crippling the United States, and those who are left will remain with powers to aid them.
4. No more billionaires. No more ivory tower indifference to the electorate. No more compromise or reaching across the aisle. No more stealth progressives.
What these mean is that the platform of restoring liberty may never get the chance.
Our job is not to vote for people for their ideas, but for their ability to carry out our ideas as our hired executives. The electorate needs to stop quizzing candidates to locate them, but to make them. Asking them is a fair early election concept for candidates, but as November draws nearer, we need to stop asking them and start telling them.
March, 2010: “Mr. Candidate, where do you stand on the second amendment?”
April through October, 2010: “Mr. Candidate, we need you to affirm the second amendment and stand for the armed citizen as soon as you take office. We need to meet.”
The second amendment is a good test of whether they will even listen. Candidate meetings with liberty purists would be even better. Some candidates simply do not understand second amendment issues as we need our executives to understand them. Any stumping exceptions (“Can I hear what the other side says about this?”) or any quarrel with this is a red flag. There are no two sides to our Independence and Liberty.
Our candidates will have to overcome voter fraud just to get elected. They will have to overcome smear. They will also have to get elected in large numbers. But it won’t do any good if they turn out to be stealth progressives.
The health of the second amendment is the primary indicator of the overall health of the nation, and candidates should be ready to take orders if they want the job.
Independence simply cannot survive another round of progressives.
