American Lives Matter?

Even those plotting and implementing the cultural terraforming of the Republic? And the suicidal useful idiots enabling them? [More]

Thing is, the truth is out there, and most who are aware of it won't even lift a finger to help spread it, let alone make calls or do anything beyond that. Besides, if the establishment Republicans do anything more than offer equivocal platitudes, Obama will shut down the government and blame them!

I hate to sound negative in the face of such good intentions, but who thinks calling McConnell and Boehner is going to be effective?  I just wish I had something superior to offer. The best I can come up with is sending a message directly to the RNC, and let them know you will work to defeat every Republican who does not champion a one-line continuing resolution provision that "No funding shall be provided for bringing Syrians into the U.S. under any program."

What, you need those who prefer to dodge and hide for other priorities?

Thing is, for any outreach to work, they'd probably need to get a minimum of hundreds of thousands of such messages this week alone, with growing numbers after that. I doubt this blog post will even yield a dozen, and that's being wildly optimistic.

Where we find ourselves is the dead end Americans have allowed themselves to be led into every time they listened to "lesser of two evils" counsel from advocacy "leaders" with access and influence as a prime motivator to play along. This is the only possible conclusion to electing someone who "agrees with you 90% of the time" on the sanctity of the Bill of Rights, instead of taking them out as an example to all others, and repeating the process until those seeking office get it right.

For analogies, would you go out on patrol with someone who was only going to shoot you in the back 10% of the time? How many times would you let a spouse cheat on you? Why continue to partner with someone who betrays your trust, your freedom, your happiness, your life -- and your children?

We're told "politics is the art of the possible" by rice-bowlers who disparage those testing new limits of possibility as "extremists."  We're told "the perfect is the enemy of the good" by those who would have us believe it's pragmatic to overlook some lies and betrayals as long as illusions are maintained.

Time's running out for all that. We are so screwed. And there ain't no easy way out.
