When you are in contention with someone, what is the proof
that you are right? One way is to determine what's NOT being said.
The reason for this is that what is not being said
undermines arguments, or distracts from the agenda. Liberals are well aware of this and that is
where we get phrases like “duck of the day”, “or dodging the question”. If your position cannot survive real scrutiny
in the public forum, it is likely to tremendously lack credibility.
In our frustration some have been trying to get this point across with sarcasm. Forced into this position, we declare our disgust with a pledge to vote for Hillary. As if!! But with regard to what is now being called the “suicide vote”,
what those like me are saying is still being avoided, and the characterization by
those who disagree with us is being kept up front.
We’re not even being told to hold-our-nose-and-vote, but we
just get the same thing over and over again.
-McCain is better than Hillary
-McCain has some qualities
-We’re so disappointed in you
-We’ll blame you if Hillary wins
Nothing has been hidden in the discussions of us “suicide
voters”. We have addressed every
accusation and manipulation. But our
reasons for not voting have not been address by our critics.
If you are shaking your head, please let me finish this
point. Among other things, we mention
the fact that the policy compromises of the pseudo-conservatives such as the “big-tent”
Republican push, have brought us to the point we are at now, where political calculation
trumps principle. Those who were selfish
enough to vote for Ross Perot were blamed for Bill Clinton getting into office, instead of the GOP taking the blame for soiling the face of conservatism for political expediency, ie., the Log Cabin Republicans, and so on.
"No, no, no, no, real conservatives are
guilty for not following the new morals. Shame, shame, shame."
That is what I mean when I say that the
crickets are chirping on the other end.
We’ve mentioned that if the Democrats came out calling for
absolute totalitarianism, this compromise vote mentality would have us voting
for Hillary simply if she changed her affiliation to Republican. Has this compromise mentality been addressed and discussed openly by the GOP?
Like children playing at charade, the one with the answer is avoided, so as not to spoil the game.
Our critics refuse to completely air McCain’s stands on
immigration, campaign finance, the environment, global warming, his refusal to
interfere with his daughter’s hypothetical abortion, a grade of F by the Gun
Owners of America, etc, etc.
The reason these aren’t discussed at any length now? Because he’s socialist-lite. “Oh my gosh!
How can you say such a thing?”
How can you keep avoiding such a record.
No, our critics ignore all that socialism and just keep
saying “the war” “the war” “the war”.
How about the war on the American people, our economy, our culture and
our constitution? The underlying
compromise that has brought us to this point is what is undermining our very
country, has us one step closer to families being declared illegal,
Christianity outlawed and the age of consent dropped to 5 years old. We keep trying to tell everyone but they just
don’t care. No moral standing is as
important as political calculation. God
please help us!
If the truth were being addressed openly, we would not be
called the “suicide voters” we would be called “The Conservatives” and our
critics would be called “The Compromise Vote.”
