At American Thinker, J B Shurk has encouraging words for conservatives:
In So
Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (the fourth book in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy
of six books"), Douglas Adams brutalizes "democracy" in a hilarious exchange:
"On its world, the people are
people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the
lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said
Arthur. "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said
Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It
honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all
got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they voted in
more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You
mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh
yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But,"
said Arthur, going in for the big one again, "why?"
"Because
if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might
get in."
That is America's Uniparty system in a
nutshell! Republican, Democrat, whatever — they're all
lizards. Then someone who doesn't speak lizard comes along — Donald
Trump — and the "democracy" loses its collective mind. The
Intelligence Community spies on his campaign. The FBI insinuates
that he's a Russian spy. The press calls for his removal and
incarceration. Unethical prosecutors and judges go after anyone who
might be called his friend. The Uniparty harasses him with endless
investigations. The Pentagon and agency bureaucrats ignore his
lawful orders and spread gossip and lies. The Department of
(in)Justice and left-leaning local tyrants persecute his supporters with spurious criminal charges that
ruin lives but, more importantly, blare a warning to all Americans: if you dare to vote for a non-lizard, we
will target you as extremists, lock you up as insurrectionists, threaten all
you hold dear, and terrorize your lives! All this calculated Uniparty
and Deep State destruction because so many in Washington so despise the idea of making America great again that
they choose to imbecilically slander that notion as racist!
When President Trump took the
stage at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference and pledged to
"totally obliterate the Deep State" if voters re-elected him, he made
it crystal-clear that the war between the people and the lizards will be one
for the ages. "In 2016, I declared I am your
voice. Today, I add, I am your warrior. I am your
justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution." If
you didn't already know he was wearing his iconic navy suit, white shirt, and
red tie, you'd have thought that Johnny Cash's "Man in Black" had
just walked in announcing,
"There's a man going around taking names / And he decides who to free and
who to blame." He might as well have just admitted to the crowd
that he's Batman, looked through the cameras and directly into the watery eyes
of the RINOs wobbling in front of their televisions, and roared, "I'm vengeance." It was
a great speech, but all I heard was,
"Listen to the words long written down / When the man comes
around." Just like last year, he won the
CPAC straw poll overwhelmingly. . . .
