Simply Speaking: Midterm Election
By Jimmie Simmons (jimmielsimmons@yahoo.com) 10/14/2010 11:49:00
This Midterm Election, possibly the most critical in our lifetime, perhaps in our history, is not at its core about how badly Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the Democrat majority in Congress are directing America (as bad as all of them are).

No, even though they are Liberal, Socialistic, Communistic, Marxist, Stupid and just plain Dumb in their direction, evidently on purpose, this election is about something broader, deeper and vitally more important....snip

Constitutional Thinking: All your rights, all the time

In the elections this year, the NRA is supporting 64 Democrats for re-election, many of them incumbents. Wait a second. Isn’t our objective this November to get rid of the Democrats and evict Nancy Pelosi from her perch as the head vulture? Yes, but you see, we have politics to deal with here.

Democratic members of Congress that have voted with the NRA on key bills, most recently helping to halt the effort to re-instate the so-called "assault weapons ban", are looking to the NRA for their reward for this support. In politics, we have come to expect a "reward" instead of just knowing we did the right thing and getting our reward later.

On the surface, it looks like the Democrats should be rewarded for their correct vote on this issue. Consider the consequences of their getting NRA support. If the Democrats manage to retain their majority, guess who the next Speaker of the House will be? If you haven’t figured it out yet, it will be Nancy Pelosi.

In other words Yankees, Carpetbaggers, and Scalawags (look up the latter two if you don’t know) changed our history with lies about Southerners, Northern motivations, their own Yankee greed and covetedness toward the South, her possessions, her Jeffersonian and Democratic Party worldview.

Of course the Democratic Party of those days is long-gone history. That political party died a slow and revolutionary death beginning with the defeat of the South and her Confederate States of America dream.
