My Two Cents In A Multi-Million Dollar Campaign, Part III
By John Longenecker (09/16/08)
2009 Will Be The Year Of Freedom. AGAIN. - Why the Democrats are taking the most uncouth and bad taste swipes at Governor Sarah Palin is because they are scared to death they will be shown to be irrelevant. This time, it will take.
I wrote this weeks ago, and let's take a closer look at it.
The entire foundation of Liberal thought in America has been interference on the premise that they are helping. Of course, this is a worldwide fraud, but it has a real appeal here for some. Their desire to help, guide, feed, educate, devalue and other approaches at seeing crisis is to insert themselves as being needed. This is a very, very bad reason to enter politics. It makes it about Them. Public service then goes out the window.
The refreshing values, strength and guts of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin – including the selflessness which distinguishes her very much - appeal to every self-respecting adult, and includes self-respecting women. This isn't pandering, it is respect, and women feel it. The Liberals never respected women. Sarah Palin represents a restoration of self-respect for all on the foundation of Independence, and it is this which Liberals fear as their greatest threat. Sarah Palin ought to know in being small town and in being Alaskan. That she does know is what intimidates and provokes Liberals to be so petty, so potty mouthed and to have such bizarre ideation in their Blogs and their alphabet network Gotcha Interviews, challenging the 'hubris’ or ‘certainty' about such values, and late nite skits. Of course, good or bad, you know you've arrived when they do skits on you on Saturday Night Live.
2009 will be the year of Freedom, freedom from interference by Liberals who fight for their very lives to be in your life. It's a morbid motivation, this need to be needed, and it's rather simple, actually. This need to be needed is what occupies their policy formation, and goes a long way in explaining why their policies backfire or fail outright. They were conceived by the wrong motivation, something I'll touch on in later editions of Good For The Country. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, 2009 and the next four years will be something most unwelcome to some Americans. . . the idea that they may go into the Voting Booth to pull the handle for "Take Care Of Me", but something will have evaporated between now and then. Freedom will be all over the ballot beginning with the names of John McCain and Sarah Palin. 2009 will be most welcome for the rest of us and for our kids who are too young to vote, but old enough to understand the concept that freedom is best protected by being independent of nuts who want to be in your life... protected by living a life in liberty and living by example such that it makes it rather obvious that intrusive liberals aren't even needed in the least.
The whole of all Liberalism has been to cry crisis in order to be needed politically, to shift values to make it better received. This is how Liberalism ruins whole countries, this shifting of values to pave the way for being needed. Some crises are even manufactured. It amounts to nothing more than looting. In contrast, the whole of republicanism is to protect the republic by Independence which so very clearly impeaches the need for such boondoggle policies of largess, interference, a counter-intuitive compassion and various takings as being silly and simply self-dealing. Backing it all with force is the giveaway.
Republicanism – living in a republic as we do – means self-respect in Independence, even though, yes, it is hard sometimes, sometimes very hard, but at least you have your dignity. As I am wont to say, nothing puts the dignity in personal dignity like the self in self-rule. In a word, Freedom can protect itself.
Self is not in self-rule when Liberals are constantly fighting to be needed in your life more than anything else in their very own lives. Sarah Palin is needed now for our way of life. And there is a big, big difference.
2009 is going to be a great year.
