Resistance Is Not Futile: Will We Let Democrats Assimilate America?

Democrats are on the verge of passing a better than $1 trillion “porkulus” bill (pork spending for their base constituencies sold as a “stimulus”). And another even bigger borrow-and-spend bill may follow that. President Obama disingenuously demagogues Wall Street bonuses, even though it was Democratic lending policy crafted by Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) and Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) and subsequent Democratic bailouts of the banking  industry that made such bonuses possible.

Meanwhile, the green Kool-Aid chugging continues apace, with Obama seemingly ready to eliminate oil and coal, consequences be damned, for the sake of “global warming” while an ice storm leaves a million people in the Ohio River valley without electricity. And California, the home of all destructive totalitarian enviro-wacko ideas, is ready to ban plasma TVs rather than just build a few more badly needed power plants. This while the state collapses into financial ruin from politicians for whom no amount of spending is ever enough, even as they wreck the economy that would pay for it.

Conservatives knew it would be bad with Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi in charge, but even the most pessimistic didn't think it would get this awful this fast. The left is quickly getting completely out of hand, and unless the Republicans, whose only instinct ever seems to be bending over and grabbing their ankles, grow a spine and understand what the nature of the enemy means for what they must do, we will not only be facing the Second Great Depression but quite possibly the end of our republic.

Democratic and liberal politicians and their hardcore base supporters have to be treated like The Borg on Star Trek or The Terminator, or Agent Smith in The Matrix: You don't try to reason with them, or get along with them, or compromise with them. Doing so is an exercise in pointless futility that only slightly delays the inevitable.

They are of a single mind, utterly relentless in pursuit of their goals and vicious in their destruction of anyone who they perceive as being the slightest threat of getting in their way. (Just ask Sarah Palin.) They are convinced they can forcibly create a Marxist utopia and that this end justifies any means. Even the harshest reality has no chance of waking them up. Whenever anything turns out other than how they thought it would, it simply means they didn't tax, spend, regulate and get their control freak on enough. (Again, witness California.) The idea that maybe they were wrong doesn't even have a chance of entering their megalomaniacal minds.

They have been completely consumed by their egos and lack any humility. If they were a car, they would have neither a reverse gear nor brakes. They only know one direction to travel, and are determined to stomp the gas pedal clean through the floorboards, even though the steepest cliff looms ahead. They have believed the serpent's lie and gulped down the fruit, convinced they "shall be like God."

To paraphrase Kyle Reese in The Terminator: "Listen, and understand. Liberals are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are defeated.”

Which means the future depends upon our reaction to them. We've been trying the pointless and futile route and been steadily losing ground since at least FDR's New Deal. Will we rise up against the drones, machines and sentinels and fight for Earth, humanity and Zion? Will we prove ourselves worthy of the nation the Founders bequeathed us by pledging our lives, fortunes and sacred honor for our posterity they way they did for us?

Will we even summon the will and courage to fight with words in the political arena as relentlessly and viciously as the left does, to ensure they take it as well as they dish it out? This need not come to a second Boston Tea Party, much less a second American Revolution. But if we don't fight in the realm of ideas, it'll be the only alternative that remains to stop the left's relentless march.

Will America die quietly with a whimper, with most forcibly assimilated into the collective or programmed back into the Matrix, and all those who resist terminated? Will this on-going experiment in self-government turn out to be a failure? Will the shining city on a hill stop giving its light?

Resistance is not futile. If anything, it is required. And the future isn't set; there is no fate but that which we make for ourselves.
