The Massachusetts Miracle, Decoding The Message

I’ve seen a number of articles addressing the lessons to taken, by both Republicans and Democrats, from Scott Brown’s stunning upset victory over Martha Coakley in the bluest of blue states, Massachusetts. Most are along the lines of ‘The American People reject Obama care”, or “Obama needs to move to the center to salvage his Presidency”, or “this is a clear repudiation of Obama’s Socialist agenda”, all of which are true to some extent. However, I think there is a more fundamental message here than is captured in those I’ve described above, and it’s very simple. The American people, without respect to party affiliation or political bent, don’t like being told what to do by their government.
As the Ivy League Universities have cranked out their product of European Socialist wannabe, so-called intellectual ‘progressive’ ideologues since the early 1900’s, who have in turn, through manipulation of public education and news media of all forms attempted to blind the unclean populace to that which is their heritage, they’ve ignored one very critical fact that will make there ultimate goal of Marxist Utopia far more difficult to acheive. Like a strand of DNA through every American, there is natural tendency to rebel against tyranny in all forms. It is part of our nature and our culture. It is that rebellious nature that was on display in Massachusetts last Tuesday.
The results of the election will be interpreted by the self-anointed Ivy League intellectuals as shocking evidence that the unclean masses are even less intelligent than they had originally thought. This will be perceived as confirming evidence that we clearly can’t see that which is good for ourselves and therefore cannot be trusted to make our own decisions. Make no mistake that this will be the mantra chanted within the Ivory Towers of ‘progressive thought’- this is how they think. You are trolls without the high-cognitive abilities that they possess, which is why you cling to your guns and religion.
But it is the roots of our rebellious nature that the European wannabe’s can’t quite grasp. They see it as evidence of our collective ignorance largely because they view us as groups to be ruled (by them) rather than as individuals who consent to be governed. The individualist DNA is the result of the fact that our culture is derived from self-reliance. The people who came to and built this country had no castle walls behind which to hide. Although they were ’subjects’ of the King of England until the rebellion, they viewed the world quite differently than their European ancestors, who recognized the ‘divine right of kings’ and consented to be ruled by them. When an attempt was made to subjugate the Colonies to the will of the king, they rebelled and established the greatest system of self-governance ever conceived.
Socialism/Marxism is accepted by the Europeans because it is in their DNA to be ruled by kings. The kings have been supplanted by large government bureaucracies – no less tyrannical that the monarchs of old. Europeans have the DNA of a serf. They are compliant and used to being told exactly how to live their lives, what fields of study for which they are eligible, and in what professions they will best serve the state. That is why the Marxist policies are largely accepted in Europe, because the people are more comfortable in a state of tyranny.
I would propose that a fundamental misunderstanding of the American people by the Marxist elites now in power is at the center of the shock they are now experiencing. Remember, the Statists get into power by running as moderates or conservatives before the voters – never as what they are. When Marxist policies and beliefs are presented to the American people for a vote they are always rejected because the are antithetical to our nature. They, the statists understand that Americans are distrustful of their ideas and policies, what they failed to understand is that this is because it is in our nature to be so – not because of a lack of education.
This is important because of the scope of the defeat clearly indicates that they will not be able to achieve their aims through their typical deceitful means- lying to the electorate. Does this mean they will fold their tents and head back to Columbia University and develop a new theory and question their ideals? Not likely. The arrogance of these people is immeasurable. They are in power, and they will not go quietly. What other options do they have to achieve their aims?
The conclusion that the Marxists will reach from the Massachusetts Miracle is that the only means to ultimately implementing their agenda in America is through violent revolution. Although I’m not predicting violence to be perpetrated upon the American people by their government, I do believe there are methods of insurrection that could be employed against the American people in order to spread fear, and a public clamoring for a crack down which might involve the surrendering of certain liberties, including freedom of speech, the right to assemble and petition the Government.
I’m not saying this will happen next week, but the message is clear- the Statist agenda cannot be achieved through the electoral process. The political demographics of this Senatorial election prove this beyond any doubt. All that this means is that another strategy will be employed, they will not give up. Keep your eyes open and watch what happens next. Note that Obama has already shifted focus to Big Banking – “We want our money back!!!”. Money that they pretty much forced the banks to take in the first place and most of which has been repaid. All dictators need an enemy on which to focus public anger and distract them from that which it is they are really doing. Hitler had the Jews, Chavez and Castro had us, and Obeyme now has the banks, while of course last week it was the insurance companies. But ultimately, they don’t want us looking at this election and seeing what it truly means.
