We’ve been socialist for years, haven’t we been? The two-sides-of-the-same-coin parties put on the same old “All-Star Wrestling” thing every 2-4 years to make the still painfully naive hang on the the belief or hope that we have any real choice in the ballot booth. The Fed-cum-Goldman Sachs makes a mockery of any so-called capitalism/”free market” we may still think we have. But how can you run a Counter-Revolution when the sheeple, room temperature IQ types are all running interference for the Wizards of Oz?
I’m going to read more O.T./N.T., Cicero and Mencken, along with the good Dr. Fleming, to ease my pain, as I’ve given up the cerveza and Martini habit, so now I’ve got to confront this blasted reality with good reads, not good stiff drinks. But I think I picked the wrong year to do that!

Hate to break it to you, but – “bankrupt the government, and wreck the economy”? – the government is already bankrupt and the economy is already wrecked. Maybe the $550 BILLION dollars spent on the Iraq war might have something to do with it…ya think?

I just read the election results a little while ago. I should be looking up aneurysm in the dictionary to see if I just had one. Being a Chronicles reader, however, prepared me for this mad post-election world long ago. For which I’m thankful.

Dr. Fleming’s comments were a great tonic for the incredulity and dread I experienced after I learned the election results. He is right. We should not let who occupies the Oval Office be the determinant of our happiness. If we love God and or neighbors (the real kind, as in the ones next door and across the street) as ourselves we will ultimatley end up in the right place.

This election, to put it in marxist terms, is a constest between the lenenist and the trotskyites.

#73 – I have to disagree with Dr. Fleming that the only conceivable reason for voting for Obama is self-hatred. The lack of awareness of reality which he gives as an alternative is probably closer to the truth. I can think of no conceivable reason to vote for McCain, other than fear of Obama. It is really counterintuitive that voters would reward the Republicans for involving the country in multiple endless wars, for the collapse of the value of their homes, for the loss of their IRAs and 401Ks and of their jobs. Anyone who would vote for the Republican candidate after all of that would have to be a real self-hater, a blind partisan, or one of the few who is actually benefitting from the current situation. Almost all people, however, are so thoroughly indoctrinated into the two-party system that any alternative vote for a third party is simply unimaginable. Returns up to now show a vote of 1% for all third parties and independent candidates COMBINED. It makes me appreciate how exceptional my extended family is. Among us, the race was between Chuck Baldwin and Ron Paul as a write-in candidate.
