Prime's Worm Hole : Voting is not about revenge, voting is about freedom

Voting is not about revenge, voting is about freedom

As we enter into the last 48 hours prior to voting for a president, I think Americans should consider the totality of what and who they believe that they are voting for. I believe that every American should stop and consider the simple minded and vindictive pitches that have been aimed at them by one candidate in particular. That candidate is Barack Obama..

It has been bothering me since I first heard him utter the statement concerning revenge voting. It is the admonishment itself that I find exceedingly bothersome. According to president Obama, "the best revenge is to vote." What should Americans be taking revenge against mr. president? It is you who have been in charge of the country and the economy for the last four years, so who should Americans be taking their revenge against in your opinion.

I and millions of other Americans have listened to you blame everything on your predecessor for your entire term and when that blame game seemed to fail, you went after the 'evil rich as your class warfare targets. Certainly the evil rich are the people most responsible for your own failures and the people's continued misery if we are to believe your version. That dog eared socialist meme of us against them and the never too tiring leftist version of class warfare seems to be your stock and trade when in a bind mr. president and in a bind is where you have been for the better part of the past year..

Then once the tactic of class warfare appeared to be losing traction, you admonished Americans to simply suck it up, stop whining and hang in there with you. Your revisited position being that you inherited such a mess that no one could possibly be expected to have resolved it in just four years. Really mr. president? that wasn't what you were saying four years ago when you were attacking and running for office. That wasn't what you were saying when you told America that if you didn't have it fixed in three years you wouldn't deserve to be re-elected.

It's always someone else's fault isn't it mr. president. It's always about some perceived level of fairness or entitlement. Or it always involves those allegedly preventing you and yours from providing those entitlements and fairness that everyone should be receiving from government.

Meanwhile, as we come into these closing days, your new tactic is to assert that the best revenge is to vote.

Well mr. president? You have finally struck upon a theme that I can understand. Getting back at those responsible for your misery is certainly an understandable human emotion. I can understand that. I don't agree with it? But I can understand it. I can now understand the observations of those like yourself who simply want to lash out at something rather than demonstrate any personal responsibility for their own plight..

The real pity is, that those so entrenched in the leftist mantra of entitlement, are so blinded as to not be able to see or understand that the person they should be lashing out at is you. So in a fashion mr. president, you are absolutely correct. The best revenge is to vote, but more importantly, the best course of action is to vote. The best thing that Americans can do to alleviate their pain and misery, is to vote you and yours out of office this coming Tuesday.

I pray that the majority of Americans will see past your revenge based campaign and vote for real meaningful change. I pray they vote your sorry carcass into oblivion on the pages of American history. Voting isn't about revenge mr. president, voting is about freedom. Vote America!

Prime's Worm hole

This is a place for me to muse about the issues that affect our world. My world and my country and my life in particular. I can say what I want to here and those who may stumble across my musings, are welcome to comment,or not. America is under siege. Everything this nation has ever represented, is now being torn asunder and crushed by the onslaught of egalitarian socialism. All morals and social values have been devolved into the belief that systemic racism, is the only underlying cause or reason for any societal ills in America. And that representation, is nothing but a Trojan Horse argument. A means of getting the egalitarian camel's nose into the tent. And now that it has been inserted? There is mayhem and anarchy and burning and looting all across America. And the only questions that remains to be asked and answered? Are these. When is enough enough and when will the American people call full stop and take the law into their own hands, to repel this socialist based attack on the Constitution and our personal freedoms.

Thinking

It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then -- just to loosen up and be a part of the crowd.
Inevitably, though, one thought led to another and soon I was more than just a social thinker.

I began to think alone -- "to relax", I told myself -- but I knew it wasn't true.
Thinking became more and more important to me and finally I was thinking all the time.

I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment don't mix, but I couldn't help myself.

I began to avoid friends at lunchtime so I could read Thoreau, Muir, Confucius and Kafka. I would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, "What is it exactly we are doing here?"

One day the boss called me in. He said, "Listen, I like you and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real problem. If you don't stop thinking on the job, you'll have to find another job."

"Honey," I confessed, "I've been thinking..."

"I know you've been thinking," she said, "and I want a divorce!" "But Honey, surely it's not that serious." "It is serious," she said, lower lip aquiver.

"You think as much as college professors and college professors don't make that much money, so if you keep on thinking, we won't have any money!"
She exploded in tears of rage and frustration, but I was in no mood to deal with the emotional drama.

"I'm going to the library," I snarled
I headed for the library, in the mood for some John Locke. I roared into the parking lot with NPR on the radio and ran up to the big glass doors.

They didn't open. The library was closed.

To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night.

Leaning on the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Emerson, a poster caught my eye, "Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?" it asked.

This is why I am what I am today: a recovering thinker.

I never miss a TA meeting. At each meeting we watch a non-educational video; last week it was "Porky's." Then we share experiences about how we avoided thinking since the last meeting.

I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home. Life just seemed easier, somehow, as soon as I stopped thinking. I think the road to recovery is nearly complete for me.

Today I took the final step...I joined the Democratic Party

If you are able,
save them a place
inside of you
and save one backward glance
when you are leaving
for the places they can
no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say
you loved them,
though you may
or may not have always.
Take what they have left
and what they have taught you
with their dying
and keep it with your own.
And in that time
when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes
you left behind.

Major Michael Davis O'Donnell
1 January 1970
Dak To, Vietnam

Captain Michael O'Donnell was lost in Cambodia on March 24 1970, while flying a UH1 rescue helicopter, trying to rescue an eight man LRRP team under attack in Cambodia. He was listed as MIA along with the eight he had attempted to rescue after his UH1 Huey was shot down by enemy fire. The official military report listed the eight as shot down 'non survivable' and 'non recoverable.'

Michael O'Donnell was submitted for the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions that day. He was awarded the Distinguished flying cross, the Bronze Star, The Air Medal and The Purple Heart and he was promoted to the rank of Major (posthumously).

In 1978 he was officially listed as KIA by the Department of Defense.

A little about the philosophy of the author

The Borg Conspiracy is one man's purely pedestrian thoughts, independent musings and frequently cheeky commentaries...Mixed with an abundance of patriotism, love of God, and love of country.

My thoughts?

In my opinion........in another generation, all that will remain of our once great republic, may be little more than what is left to weather the passage of time in the form of a few obscure and forgotten monuments to the great American experiment.

If America should fail....let it be written as her epitaph.....died by her own hand. The greatest experiment in freedom ever undertaken, lost in the end to the pursuit of the illusion that egalitarian tolerance was more valuable than individual freedom.

Let us be warned.
Franklin, Payne, Jefferson. They all knew the consequences of the lack of vigilance and they tried to warn us. They gave us a document as our guide post. We were to guard it and revere it and use it to guide and govern our future and our posterity.

No one listened.
