The Nixon Standard
So much to say. But first, the last bit of info about the election. Please check with your County Election office for specifics for turning in your absentee ballot. Houston County allows the voter to turn in their absentee ballot on Election Day (Nov 8) at the Board of Elections only. Peach County’s website says that last day they accept is Friday, November 4th. Check with your county Election Board for details.
I was an avid reader of Mad Magazine as an adolescent. It was juvenile satire, but occasionally the writers made some interesting points. I can remember one such scene where they were busting the chops of President Richard Nixon. It was a half-page scene where they quoted Lincoln, “You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” In the magazine caption, it replaced the last phrase of the quote with a picture of Richard Nixon, stating: “But here’s where I make a liar out of Lincoln.” Nixon had some flaws, for sure. In comparison, 90+percent of our current politicians don’t even meet the Richard Nixon standard. I am specifically speaking of the Uniparty, i.e., the administrative state, the Democratic and RINO Republican parties. I want nothing more than for people such as Kari Lake, Rand Paul, Libertarian Secretary of State of Georgia candidate Tom Metz, and others to lead us out of this era of intellectual dishonesty into a new era of truth. What happens if there’s a Republican win/beat down during next Tuesday? Will that rid us of these incredibly dishonest politicians and put us on the right track. It will be a good start. I’m rooting for good people with high character to be elected, but there’s only a few of these types in our races. A major theme the Republicans are using in this election is addressing symptoms such as crime and poverty. The core problem they are ignoring is the breakdown of the family. It’s not going to be easy or fast to reverse course from the largest government in history back to the land of the free. I continue to be shocked at how powers-that-be prefer to sugar coat how bad things are. The people who shut down your businesses and have harmed the development of your children are asking you to re-elect them so they can keep their jobs. No one fits this bill better than 2nd District US Congressman Sanford Bishop. It is past time to send this man into retirement. We must never forget what they have done to us over the past dozen years. If we challenge the current regime, we will face the storm. Even after all the relentless investigations, those on the Left, including our Department of Justice, continue to claim that in 2016, the election was stolen by Russia. But the 2018 and the 2020 elections were back to being the cleanest and the purest in the world. I am sincerely hoping for the best in 2022, but the evil cabal remains in total control of our Federal Government, so I have my doubts. Joe Biden continues to use the comical phrase in his speeches, “I give you my word as a Biden.” Just another lie from the liar-in-Chief. Let’s give the RINO side credit where credit is due. RINO mouthpiece Karl Rove is running ads in Pennsylvania saying that Governor Josh Shapiro isn’t as extreme as the incompetent Senate candidate John Fetterman. At no time does Rove’s ads mention the Republican candidates Doug Mastriano or Mehmet Oz. This is a perfect illustration that the establishment backstab is in full swing. If you saw Fetterman’s performance in his debate versus Dr. Mehmet Oz, it was so embarrassing that it would make you want to crawl under your living room rug. Yet afterwards, pundits like MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell did a piece on Fetterman in which he compares him to Churchill and FDR. They continue to expose themselves in the most comical ways, such as the last debacle involving Paul Pelosi. The Pelosi’s have incredible security around their mansion, yet a “friend” of Paul Pelosi’s’, who also was a supposed MAGA supporter, just happened to be in their home at 2AM in the morning. I’m hearing that the Capitol Police are involved in the investigation. What an absolute carnival of events! They are fooling no one. Interesting enough, our wonderful media continues to screen us from many major events that are occurring throughout the world. Tens of thousands protested in France against skyrocketing cost-of-living issues on October 16th. Several days later, massive protests occurred in Germany, Austria, and Italy against NATO and inflation.
Please continue to intensely pray for our country. We desperately need to change our ways and return to our Judeo-Christian values.
