LIBERALISM IS DEAD

Today is a great day for America. Today is a great day for global security. Today is a great day for freedom.

George W. Bush just received more votes than any other politician in history.

George W. Bush just received a higher percentage of the popular vote than any democrat since 1964.

George W. Bush just received the first popular vote majority in 16 years.

George W. Bush just overcame an attempted coup d’ etat from the democratic-media complex that refused to report on Kerry’s abysmally weak senate record, forged documents in an attempt to sway the election, did everything in their power to reduce the democratic choices voters could make regarding the president by keeping Nader of the ballot, gave crack cocaine to people for registering voters, registered Mary Poppins and Michael Jordan in swing states, scared voters by saying Bush would reinstitute the draft and take old people’s social security away, refused to report on kerry’s treasonous meetings with the viet cong while being an officer in the military, refused to report on the evidence showing that kerry initially received an other than honorable discharge from the navy, refused to report on the current economic boom, attempted to sway the election by “leaking” exit polls that were almost certainly fraudulent, painted Bush as a bible-thumper even though he only discusses his religious beliefs when asked, smeared hundreds of decorated veterans that served with kerry and gave eye-witness accounts of kerry’s less than honorable service, analogized Bush to Hitler, reported on a single night shift of reservists that embarrassed some Iraqis that tried to kill us as if Bush were Saddam, second guessed tactical military decisions during a time of war, refused to report on Afghanistan’s first democratic election in 5,000 years, refused to report on the barbaric actions of Saddam, refused to report on the biggest scandal in world history (the u.n. oil-for-food scandal), reported on leaks from the anti-american al-baredei without questioning his motives, suggested that the al qaqaa weapons indicated gross negligence on behalf of the administration despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, repeating the mantra that America is divided until it became true, and gave America’s biggest enemy his talking points.

George W. Bush not only overcame everything the left could possibly do to defeat him, his coattails were so long as to defeat the most powerful senator in the senate, increase his majorities in both houses (the first time an incumbent has done since FDR), completely shut out the democrats in the south and Midwest, and give him a mandate stronger than any since the New Deal.

Tom Daschle’s defeat is a statement to all Democratic senators in red states that are considering a strategy of obstructionism. The Conservative stranglehold on red states (31 in total) will serve as a launching pad for finally undoing the New Deal. America’s global economic and military advantage will certainly increase as it is clear we have rejected the passivist, secular, morally relativistic multilateralmania of Europe; but instead have accepted the conservative free-trade principles that have made us into the greatest civilization in world history.

Liberals did everything they could to unseat Bush because they had to in order to survive as a viable ideology. Liberals require a significant portion of the population to be dependant on the federal government and minorities to remain in the underclass of society to survive. With Bush’s decisive victory and the Republican stranglehold on the both houses, state legislatures and governorships, Bush will continue to decimate the very foundations of government that perpetuate liberalism. Conservative ideas such as welfare reform, strict educational standards, tax reform, lower taxes, health savings accounts, social security reform and the like have and will continue to replace the New Deal’s dependency with a true ownership society. Minority ownership is at an all-time high, the GDP is growing at nearly 4% despite an economic recession, a technology bubble burst, corporate scandals, two wars and the most massive terrorist attack in history. In the next four years, Americans will be further weaned off the governmental programs that take away individual choice and freedom alike.

The Left understood the stakes. That’s why they could not lose this election. They understood that American’s cannot trust them on matters of national security. They understood that their agenda cannot pass in the heartland. That is why they force their agenda through judicial fiat instead of the democratic process. That is why they ran a war-hero, which they thought would be enough to ensure the public that they could protect us. That is why they ran a politician who was skilled enough to say the right things on values issues while having the credibility with the left to wink and nod. That is why although kerry received the highest marks from pro-choice groups, he still “believes that life begins at conception.” That is why although kerry voted against the ban on partial-birth abortion, he kept repeating that he was an altar boy. That is why although kerry received the lowest possible marks from the NRA, he went goose-hunting a week before the election. That is why kerry claims to be a red sox fan while saying his favorite current player is Manny Ortez (cross between Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz) and his favorite player all-time is Ed Yost (never played for the Red Sox).

But when all was said and done, they could not avoid running a liberal billionaire senator from Massachusetts. They are so out of touch with mainstream America that they have ceased to be a true national party. What’s more, the next government will pick apart their very foundations as to make the current democratic platform unwinnable in future national elections.

The liberal spin that Bush won based on his personality and the genius of Karl Rove indicates their complete misunderstanding of 21st century America. If anything, Rove blundered by avoiding the cultural issues that proved to be decisive. By downplaying the cultural issues, Bush did not maximize his natural advantage on the most decisive issues of the day.

The democratic party is in absolute disarray. Resistance to the Conservative revolution is futile if they ever hope to compete nationally. From Goldwater to Reagan to Newt to Dubya, conservativism has emerged as the dominant ideology in America. The fissures in their platform runs deeper than personality. They are the party of tactics, instead of strategy. They are the party of reaction, not reform. They are the party of style over substance. They failed to understand that you can’t just say you’re an altar boy, go hunting and wear a red sox hat, you have share the values of average Americans if you want to lead them.

You know, the more I think of it the more I think that Clinton did more damage to their party than he did good. In an economic boom with no perceived national security threat, with the most skilled politician in our lifetime, the dems only managed 49% of the vote. In order to be successful, Clinton had to give in to conservative ideas such as welfare reform and balanced budgets. This continued the systematic destruction of the liberal establishment. Further, the democratic acceptance of Clinton’s morality (or lack thereof), only reinforced their adherence to moral relatavism, and further clouded their ability to define right from wrong. Clinton’s famous ability to parse words and make legal instead of moral arguments (depends on what the definition of what the word “is” is), further skewed an increasingly savvy populace’s trust of them to do what was right.

What a dramatic sea change over the course of the last 40 years. While America has shifted to the right, Europe has skirted to the left, and our economic, technological and military advantage over them has grown.
The day the democratic party ceased being the party of the working man, and instead became the party of special interests and minorities, is the day the Conservative Revolution was born. I leave you with this picture, which is the electoral map of the 1948 election between Truman and Dewey. The Red states are DEMOCRATIC states, the blues are republican , and the greens were Strom Thurmond’s state’s rights party. There has been a nearly complete reversal. We are the party of the working man. They are the party of elitism.
