I have spent the past few days deliberately staying away from all main stream media news feeds. The lead up to the November 3rd elections with the preposterous polling has again proven the slant and bias of the MSM as the inevitability of a progressive socialist tsunami and takeover was irrefutably illustrated by insurmountable Dem leads in all the polls. And now we find ourselves two days later still awaiting results which for some reason in the 21st century with computerized balloting is an excruciatingly long process with absentee votes to seemingly appear from thin air and the backs of automobile trunks with secretive tallying. It appears the Presidential race is still undecided days after the polls closed with reports varying hour by hour. The Senate races appear to be somewhat more definitive with the GOP retaining slim control in what has been described as a firewall against the increasingly left leaning House. This election cycle has been described as the most important of our lifetimes.
There is a
stark contrast between the platforms of the GOP espousing a robust capitalist
economic policy with low taxes and deregulation as opposed to the Democrats
advertised massive New Green Deal plans and promised $4.7 trillion tax
increase. In response to the Republicans
confirming Amy Coney Barrett as Trumps latest Supreme Court appointment, the
Democrats have fielded ideas to pack the court, creating additional seats to
fill with liberal justices and to push for statehood for the liberal Washington
DC enclave and for Puerto Rico. The
former is a direct assault on the Constitutional concepts of equal and separate
branches of government. The latter would be an attempt to secure for the
foreseeable future, a Democrat majority in the legislative branch and a far
more difficult hurdle for conservatives in the electoral college in
Presidential elections. Dem Senator
Barbara Boxer in 2017 even introduced legislation to eliminate the electoral
college and current Dems have further pushed this radical agenda (

which would destroy the protections our founders put in place to prevent sectional dominance in
the United States government.
Even still,
with the population centers of California and New York disproportionately
affecting the results of nationwide elections and the real threat of additional
liberal states or moving to a strict popular voting process, what does this
current election cycle and political climate bode for the future of our
country. In 1860 the threat of
additional non-slave states being added to the country from the western
territories was a primary impetus for the secession of the Southern states. They viewed that as a political strategy to
ensure Republican political dominance and along with the increased tariffs
(taxes) promised by the Republicans in their election platform to build
industries and railroads centered in the North, the destruction of the Southern
economic system and way of life. The
Democrats today are promising massive tax hikes, the appropriation of the
federal treasury to pet green industries and progressive social causes and
organizations, and the governmental control of private industries thru massive
regulations. They openly espouse the
further infringement of Constitutional rights including the right to bear arms
and religious liberty and freedom of speech which their militant fringes have
been violently attacking on college campuses and town squares across the
country for the past few years. They
dare violate the sanctity of life codifying the right to kill full term babies.
Where does
that leave the future of our country?
For the first time since our forefathers fought for Southern state’s
independence, the concept of secession has moved to the main stream of
debate. Groups in California
(https://yescalifornia.org/) and Texas (https://texassecede.com/?_sm_nck=1)
have actively sought referendums on secession.
In this heated recent election cycle, others have predicted the dissolution
of the country. Conservative talk show
host Ben Shapiro had a guest on Monday, the day before the election, who
predicted “within six years” the United
States would break apart into perhaps 50 separate and sovereign nation
states. The same day, Financial analyst
David Rosenberg predicted “the U.S. could find itself broken into more than one
country as unrest and acrimony grip the electorate”
(https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-u-s-could-split-up-gundlach-says-heres-how-hed-invest-for-that-11604352902?reflink=mw_share_twitter) Apart from the political and economic
disagreements rife within our society, for decades we have been battling moral
imperatives such as the right to life guaranteed in the Declaration of
Independence. Prattville’s city council
just passed a resolution proclaiming the city as “a safe city for pre-born
children and lives in all stages.”
(https://www.wsfa.com/2020/11/04/prattville-council-passes-first-its-kind-resolution-alabama/?outputType=amp) Who would have thought such a proclamation
necessary but, that resolution wouldn’t have seen the light of day in Pelosi’s
San Francisco. We have been fighting the
repercussions of the government removing prayer from the schools for
generations now, that and the diminishment of a real education including civics
and true history (as well as foundational basic reading and arithmetic). The result - our nation’s youth have devolved into ignorant entitled
anarchists. Is the fracturing of the
Unites States into perhaps a federated union like the EU a viable solution to
preserve state sovereignty and help eliminate the sectional acrimony we have
seen explode across our nation?
