Liberals: The Enemy Within

http://townhall.com/columnists/BurtPrelutsky/2009/05/22/liberals_the_enemy_within

Feeling as I do about Barack Obama, it’s only natural that I would look for people to blame for putting him in the Oval Office. I mean, aside from the 63 million oafs who actually voted for the guy. The first villains who come to mind are members of the media who are still, in the words of Bernard Goldberg, slobbering over him. But I have come up with another group of troublemakers. They’re the folks who came up with the cockamamie primary system.

When you realize how much emphasis is placed on early results, both in terms of momentum and fund-raising, you can readily see how goofy it is that a tiny New England state and a handful of Midwesterners wield so much influence. I have nothing against the voters of New Hampshire or the folks who vote in the Iowa caucus, but it’s absurd that they should have so much power. The solution is quite simple. On the very same day, the Republicans and the Democrats would hold their primaries in all 50 states.

some Choice reactions from the vermin at FR:

one quoted this:

‘Bread and Circuses’ is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the Plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader - the barbarians enter Rome.... Mine was a lovely world till the parasites took over.

and:

The glaring problem is that because we are created with a need to worship, a hard wiring if you will,when science and socialism replace God as a religion, people will worship. When a messiah appears, they will notice nothing of the bad, as a worshipper of God will endure anything for Him, they will endure anything for their messiah.

Think of the many who have gone to their deaths for the one they believed to be the messiah; Jim Jones,David Koresh, that dude with the followers who died with their sneakers on waiting for a spaceship, Hitler, the FLDS,any number of current dictators, and yes, Christians, Jews, muslims, and any other who was martyred.

These people will never be convinced their messiah is wrong, any more than we will be convinced that Jesus is wrong. They will just chalk up any suffering they endure due to his policies to trials they must endure. They are just as committed to him and his policies as we are to the Christ that purchased our salvation with his blood.

I do not have an answer to this problem. I do not know if one exists; if it did, it would mean that it would be possible for someone to use it on Christians to remove us from our faith, or “snatch” us out of His hands.

Sure, some willingly leave the faith of Christ for something else, but no one can be snatched. Some will willingly leave science and socialism, but, as in any faith, most will not.

These are scary times..........
