"Voters deserve the crooks and knuckleheads they vote for."
My rejoinder:
Of course they do - but the rest of us - those of us who still possess the modicum of decency and sanity required to recognize the Democrat left for the lying, revolutionary seditionists and traitors they are - won't deserve the horrors that will descend upon the nation if the Cackling Commie Dingbat Harris and Tampon Tim get power.
As I recently asked in another post, what would be the intellectual, moral and spiritual quality of an electorate so debased as to install in power these ridiculous people? What would be the inexorable fate of a nation harboring such a degraded electorate?
Nothing new under the sun…

Why not choose the more excellent way?
Time for the devout among us - the worshippers of the One True Judeo/Christian God who raised up this great nation - to consider ourselves and approach with renewed and repentant vigor the divine Author of our liberty.
As our Founders knew they, without divine assistance and intervention, had no hope of prevailing against a far greater power, so I believe we, in our time, when our Constitutional Republic, threatened by Godless towering dark forces, is hanging by a thread, are equally dependent on divine providence if we are to survive as a free, secure and prosperous people. But if we expect divine providence to be manifest on our behalf, we must be a people worthy of it.
As John Adams presciently observed:
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is entirely inadequate to the government of any other."
The corrupt intellectual, moral and spiritual course we are on today in America is thus utterly incompatible with and hostile to human liberty, security and prosperity.
As the oft-quoted Ben Franklin observed:
“Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more vicious, they have more need of masters.”
You can't fool Mother Nature.
We will either produce in ourselves, as a people and society, the requisite intellectual, moral and spiritual building blocks of freedom, or the grand edifice of liberty built for us by our illustrious forebears, lacking attention and maintenance, will crumble into the dust.
Freedom is not the natural state of mankind. Tyranny is. Human freedom must be wrested from a dark and tyrannical world - and, as was the case with our great founding generation, invariably at the cost of bloodshed.
As Ronald Reagan put it:
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
It takes a certain intellectual, moral and spiritual caliber of people capable of understanding, valuing, fighting for, protecting and passing along to their children the blessings of freedom. If we collectively are no longer such a people, we will certainly lose our liberty and regain it again - if ever - only after much suffering and by the shedding of blood.
Time for us to repent in sack cloth and ashes, bend the knee, change our ways and embrace with renewed vigor the God of our Fathers, and the inspired, God-fearing, Christian intellectual, moral and spiritual way of life that gave birth to the nation.
The alternative, I fear, is a searing, consuming passage through the refiner's fire - a brutal, divinely engineered purging we will not emerge from until we, borrowing words from Jesus, "have paid the uttermost farthing".
Right vs. wrong, truth vs. lies, reality vs. fantasy, knowledge vs. ignorance, order vs. chaos, law vs. lawlessness, justice vs. injustice, light vs. darkness, good vs. evil, happiness vs. misery, God vs. the Godless…
Take your pick…
From the hymn “Choose the Right”:
“Choose the right when a choice is placed before you. In the right, the Holy Spirit guides. And its light is forever shining o’er you, when in the right your heart confides.
“Choose the right! Let no spirit of digression overcome you in the evil hour. There’s the right and wrong to every question. Be safe through inspiration’s power.
“Choose the right! There is peace in righteous doing. Choose the right! There’s safety for the soul. Choose the right in all labors you’re pursuing. Let God and Heaven be your goal.
“Choose the right! Choose the right! Let wisdom mark the way before. In its light, choose the right, and God will bless you ever more.”
Apart from the immediate consequences of our electoral choices, which we will be confronted with soon after November 5th, life is a cosmic test, a brief day for choosing with eternal consequences.
