What Do They Fear?

They fear that Americans wills start farming, again, rather than allowing some of the best farm land in the world to lie fallow due to asinine concerns about a guppy.

They fear that Americans will start manufacturing again, rather than allowing Chinese to make shoddy goods for the American market.

They fear that we’ll start exploiting our own oil, gas and coal resources rather than importing oil from enemy States.

They fear that we’ll let the “zombie banks” fail rather than continue the Federal Reserve’s efforts to bail out the bankers.

They fear that American will insist upon enforcement of the Constitution rather than allowing judges and bureaucrats to make it up as they go along.

What they fear, ultimately, is Americans acting like Americans. The fear we’ll become as we were before we allowed various cretins to take hold of our nation and sell us out in order to enrich and empower those who either hate America, or hold it in contempt.

Who are “they”? They are our enemies in places like Iran and Venezuela. Rising challengers in China. Leaders of dying Europe. Shortsighted, greedy banksters and money men who are so fixated on quarterly profits they can’t see doom coming a year away. Domestic liberals – people who are, in Sowell’s phrasing, “the anointed” – who figure they know what is best for all of us.

Its not that all these disparate people and groups work consciously together, but they all do share the same, fundamental goal – to make Americans not be Americans. To make us other than the people who created the most powerful, wealthiest and most generous nation in human history. A bunch of Lilliputians who wish to appear larger by taking down that which is greater than they.

The state of the world today – from Iran’s power to China’s economic growth – has only been possible by the hamstringing of the people of the United States. The shiftless and the very wealthy have worked against the interests of those who do the work of America – and all of those who have profited off our decline are deadly afraid that we will arrest the decline, and start to revive.

America is a titan in the world – never forget that. If one puts it in to proper perspective, it was sheer impertinence for pipsqueak nations like Germany and Japan to have challenged us in the 1940’s – we crushed both of them, at the same time, without ever exhausting our resources. We were vastly more powerful in 1945 than we had been in 1940, after more than three years of continuous battle. That is the America the world – and, even, some Americans on the left – don’t want to see, again. They like a tied down America – an America which serves their interests, rather than the interests of America.

We have a chance, Americans, to revive our great nation. Starting this November, we can start to take our country back and reforge what our grandfathers knew. But, here’s the thing – it isn’t enough for us to just win an election. We will have to show the raw courage necessary to break the ties which bind us to our enemies.

We will have to say “no” to a great many things and make ourselves, temporarily, very unpopular…but the key is that once we undo what has been done, there won’t be the political power to put it back together again. Even if we lose the following election, if we’ve cleared out the rot, the American people will not suffer to have it restored.

Here is our grand chance. We must seize it with both hands.
