Big Government Preserved—Let`s Hear It For The GOP!

I think it is time that
we all stood up and gave the Republican Party a big
round of applause. I mean, they have done us all a huge
favor. By an overwhelming majority, the GOP has
prevented a potential plague from enveloping these
United States of America, and I think it is time that we
acknowledged it.

Yes, the GOP stopped a
potential catastrophe. Without the combined efforts of
millions of Republicans, there is no telling what kind
of disaster might have ensued. Let`s hear it for the
GOP! Hip Hip Hooray!

For a few minutes there,
I thought the GOP might have lost its mind, but I am
glad to report that all is well with the Republican
Party. The international bankers and oil companies, and
the military-industrial complex, as well as the
president of Mexico and prime minister of Canada, can
breathe easy. With

John McCain as the presumptive Republican nominee,
the globalist power brokers who have dominated the last
three Presidential administrations can know that they
are still in charge. There will be no changing of the
guard this November.

It was scary there for a
while. You see, there was this kook who was running for
the Republican nomination that had the potential to
upset the applecart real good. But thankfully, the fine
people within the GOP rose to the occasion and beat back
the attempts of his nutty supporters to vault him to the
nomination.

After all, just think
what would have taken place if this kook

Ron Paul had won the Republican nomination for
President. This nut case actually believes that the U.S.
Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Imagine
that. That means he would never take America to war
except with a Declaration of War by Congress. Think how
such a thing would prevent America`s meddling and
interventionism worldwide. Think of the billions and
even trillions of tax dollars that would not need to be
spent overseas. Think of how much money Halliburton
would lose. Think of how much money the Federal Reserve
bankers would lose by not being able to loan money to
the U.S. government. It is too ghastly to think about.

Furthermore, this

Ron Paul nut might have actually insisted that the
federal government declare

unborn babies to be "persons" under the law.
Think of it. This would mean that every unborn baby
would have the immediate protection of law. And this
would have happened without the necessity of appointing
a single Supreme Court justice. Whew! The Republican
Party dodged a bullet on that one. Now they can continue
to talk about being "pro-life" for the next
thirty years in order to fool Christian conservatives
into voting for them without having to actually do
anything about it.

This Ron Paul kook would
also have put a stop to the incessant spying on the
American people by their own federal government. Egad!
This Paul character would have set America back two
hundred years. Think of it. No more illegal wiretaps. No
more reading private emails, letters, and telegrams. No
more harassment by the

BATF of law-abiding firearms dealers for honest errors
in paperwork. No more using the wars on "terror"
and "drugs"
to violate the Fourth Amendment. Think of the money that
would be lost by the feds

not confiscating the private property of the American
people.

In addition, if this Ron
Paul nut had actually become President, he might have
succeeded in abolishing the Internal Revenue Service and
overturning the Sixteenth Amendment. Holy Horrors! Can
you imagine the tragedy that would have ensued? No more
income taxes. No more tax forms to fill out. No more IRS
agents arresting hard-working citizens for "tax
evasion." No more government tracking of our private
financial transactions. Think of the US attorneys whose
services would no longer be necessary. Imagine that. The
federal government would actually be required to live
within its means; it could no longer raise taxes,
because there would be no more taxes to raise.

And if all of the above
is not bad enough, this Ron Paul kook would actually
demand that the federal government obey the Tenth
Amendment. This, all by itself, would reduce the size
and scope of the federal government by at least fifty
percent. Imagine if the American people suddenly had the
federal government out of their pocketbooks and off
their backs? What would they do with all that newfound
freedom? It is too scary to contemplate.

Do not worry, however.
Thanks to the fine men and women of the Republican
Party, John McCain will carry their standard into the
November elections. Yes, my dear friends, David
Rockefeller and his fellow travelers at the Council on
Foreign Relations can rest easy. Should McCain win the
general election, they will retain their influence in
the White House. Indeed, we can all rest easier knowing
that John McCain will be the Republican nominee for
President.

After all, John McCain
will see to it that our borders and ports

remain open to illegal aliens. In fact, a McCain
Presidency will ensure that illegal aliens become
permanent U.S. citizens. Or better yet, that the U.S.
and Mexico will be merged into a North American
Community, thus eliminating the need for U.S.
citizenship altogether. This will greatly help

the Chamber of Commerce and Big Business. Think of
the money they can save by hiring cheap Mexican labor.
Think of the plants and factories that can be moved to
Mexico. Think of the cheap Chinese goods that can be
loaded onto Mexican trucks from Mexican ports and
shipped into the United States on the NAFTA
superhighways.

And did I mention the
advantage a John McCain Presidency will provide to
incumbents in future elections? Because John McCain does
not believe in the U.S. Constitution, the First
Amendment means nothing to him. This is good, because he
can use the bully pulpit of the Presidency to promote
his McCain/Feingold bill that would make it illegal for
citizens to voice their concerns and opinions regarding
the voting records of incumbents during a general
election. That means those sinister organizations such
as the National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of
America will no longer be able to publicly promote their
views regarding the anti-Second Amendment voting records
of congressmen and senators.

That Ron Paul kook would
never have tolerated such a law as McCain/Feingold. But
thanks to the fine men and women of the Republican
Party, we do not need to worry about these little
inconveniences such as the First and Second Amendments
(or any of the other articles within the Bill of Rights,
for that matter), because they wisely selected John
McCain to be their standard-bearer.

Furthermore, because the
good men and women of the GOP decided to nominate John
McCain, we can look forward to one hundred years of war
in the Middle East. We can all anticipate the
opportunity of sending our troops into harm`s way all
over the world to promote the interests of international
corporations, nation-building, and other U.N.
machinations.

Had that nut Ron Paul
been elected, he would have practiced a
non-interventionist foreign policy. He would have sought
peace with all nations. And, instead of preemptively
invading foreign countries, he would have dealt
constitutionally with terrorists, resulting in their
capture or death, the protection of America, the absence
of long-term war, and the respect of nations throughout
the world. Furthermore, that nut Paul would have refused
to use U.S. forces to do the bidding of the United
Nations and other international entities.

However, we do not need
to worry about old-fashioned, out-of-date ideas such as
constitutional government, conservative principles, or
common sense, because the fine men and women of the
Republican Party wisely chose John McCain as their
presumptive Presidential nominee.

Yes, indeed. Let`s hear
it for the GOP!
