There is no better way to assess the November 4 election than to label it a complete repudiation of GOP-style neoconservatism, internationalism, and imperial presidential power.
The Bush administration’s dramatic lows in approval rating assured that it, and virtually all who backed it, would suffer defeat.
The choice between Senator Obama and Senator McCain presented a choice between two liberal internationalists. McCain would have extended Bush agenda. Though he campaigned for a nebulous idea of change, in truth, Obama will seek to continue it and possibly make it worse.
Many anxious Americans opted for McCain because he claimed to be anti-abortion and pro-gun rights. They failed to take into account that, as a veteran member of the Council on Foreign Relations, he is a strong supporter of the United Nations that is both pro-abortion and anti-private ownership of weapons. McCain’s consistent posturing on these two issues was totally reprehensible.
Our nation’s membership in the United Nations should have been an issue in the campaign. But when both of the major candidates are UN supporters, it was never addressed.
Also not addressed, because the two candidates obviously agreed about it, is the sub-rosa plan to merge our nation with Canada and Mexico in a proposed North American Union. Further, the plan calls for creating linkages with the European Union. That an Obama administration would continue these trends is signaled by the fact that his global warming plan is almost an exact duplicate of that being pursued by the UK government.
There are numerous other issues that were never addressed during this election cycle simply because substantive differences between McCain and Obama were completely non-existent.
The rejection of Bush-style Republicanism now presents the GOP with an opportunity to clean house and begin again to promote solid American values. No more undeclared wars. No more deficits and inflation. No more attacks on the productive sector of our nation. No more campaigns against individual, God-given rights. No more ignoring the Constitution’s limitations on government power.
Americans from coast to coast should start working immediately to pressure the GOP minorities in the Senate and House to block much of what can be expected from the coming Obama administration. They should also remind Democrats in Congress that there would be support for them should they resist initiatives put forward by the Obama administration that would harm our nation.
If GOP senators and representatives, and maybe some from the Democratic side as well, exert some real Americanist leadership, they can indeed halt much our nation’s plunge into losing independence, enduring worldwide repudiation of the dollar, seeing sovereignty compromised and possibly lost entirely, and so much more that threatens the continued existence of our nation.
The policies of the past eight years have been repudiated. As an alternative, a return to limited government and no-nonsense independence is sorely needed. This is the real change we need. The opportunity exists to return to the wisdom given us by the Founding Fathers, including strict adherence to the Constitution that all elected officials swear to uphold. This opportunity should be joyfully seized by all who love our country and want to preserve its freedoms for future generations.
The soundest program for restoring good government in America can be found in the work of The John Birch Society. We ask all who care about the future to contact us, get involved in our program, and return our nation to sanity once again.
