Electoral College Puts Final Nail into our Coffin

"To say that majorities, as such, have a right to rule minorities, is equivalent to saying that minorities have, and ought to have, no rights, except such as majorities please to allow them." -- Lysander Spooner

Lamestream media cheers the socialist takeover of America-Something is not right about this…

Our "democracy" is under attack because we don't have enough "democracy." This is the growing refrain from the collectivist left as it slowly wears away at the republic like waves on stone, one election cycle at a time.

The use of the Electoral College for electing the president has been under attack for some time. It gained steam when George Bush the lesser received half a million fewer votes than Al Gore but won the presidency when Democrat shenanigans down in Florida were halted and Bush got the state's 25 electoral votes.

In 2013 The New York Times lamented that "Smaller states find outsize clout growing in the Senate," and pondered whether a constitutional amendment was needed to fix the "least democratic legislative chamber."

The refrain grew louder after SHillary Clinton defied all odds and coughed up a victory as inevitable as "Dewey beats Truman." This even though the upper echelons of the FBI, CIA, NSA and the Barack Obama regime were working behind the scenes with Russian and British operatives and Big Tech to quash Donald Trump and disparage everything conservative that Big Tech wasn't busy memory holing.

Now, in wake of the recent election shenanigans, featuring the exact same particulars I just mentioned, the collectivist left is at it again. Political pundits and leftist talking heads are pontificating on the airwaves, in print and on social media that the minority class in America has too much power because of "the popular vote " — even though there is no such thing nationally and even though their candidate "won." This, the collectivists say, indicates our "democracy" is broken.

And who is that minority class that is earning the reproach of the haughty, self-important pundit class? Why it's those rubes in what has come to be called "flyover country."

The popular notion is that a voter in rural Utah (or wherever, doesn't matter to the Left if it's not a California or NY socialist doing the voting) has "100 times the voting power as a voter from California."

That is pure argle-bargle. If anyone's being disenfranchised it's the "rural minority," particularly the white Christian gun-owning liberty-minded minority, which is constantly referred to in the MSM as racist, homophobic, terrorists and whatever other contumely the self-important condescending privileged class in the ivory tower echo chamber can contrive.

Not that the establishment GOP isn't guilty of assaulting the republic as well. Republican congressmen tampered with the Electoral College by creating the new states of Nevada, Kansas and West Virginia in order to ensure Lincoln's re-election in 1864. The party of Lincoln, and Lincoln himself, had as its main goal growing government. Only one other president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, did as much to destroy the U.S. Constitution as Lincoln.

For those who are victims of the public indoctrination system and propaganda media, the Senate was designed by the wise Founders to ensure equality — the equality of the states. It was also designed to preserve the states' control over the general government and to be the "'aristocratic' chamber to restrain the potential excesses of the 'mob' in the House," writes Brion McClanahan in The Founding Father's Guide to the Constitution. The new Constitution would not have been ratified if not for a way to check "the turbulence and follies of democracy," as Edmund Randolph put it.

It was designed to ensure the United States remain a republic.

A republic is a limited, representative, participatory government. A republic is the almost natural result of public order built upon the love of God, the individual, the family and business and many, many private associations and relations.

There was a reason the Founders disdained democracy. They feared two things above all else: a democracy and an overly powerful executive. The Electoral College was designed to prevent both.

Democracy is not necessarily a representative government, but it is an illusory participatory government. People tend to think that democracy is evolved or modern republicanism. Democracy is truly a veil for a wicked government that places all matters, including personal and private ones, into the public view, for public legislation. Democracy flourishes where the hard-working, creative middle class perishes, or is not allowed to develop.

Democracy is the mask of tyranny that pretends to promote public debate but always on spurious issues. He who speaks the real issues is blacked out. We are seeing this now. The pundit class openly advocates that the rubes in the "rural minority" be pushed to the back of the bus.

Abolishing the electoral college and thus the republic will have to happen via constitutional amendment. The process for amending the Constitution through Congress requires approval by two-thirds of both houses of congress plus ratification by three-fourths of the states. But there is an attempted workaround underway.

Called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, a growing number of blue states have signed on to a process by which their electoral votes would go to the presidential candidate that wins the national popular vote, regardless of how their state voted.

So far, 15 states and the District of Columbia have signed on. They represent 196 electoral votes, just 81 short of the 270 needed for election. Many leftists applaud this movement, not recognizing or caring — or perhaps even embracing — that it will disenfranchise them if their state happens to vote one way while the popular vote goes another.

Proponents of eliminating the EC claim it will make the U.S. more "democratic." And therein lies the rub.

Democracy is an esoteric belief system that manipulates the people in such a way that all power flows to the state. As with pure dictatorships, power flows from the top down. The anti-republicans don't want there to be states. They don't even want there to be countries because they want One World Government.

But the states must be eliminated first. So they want there to be 100 Senators who are nationally elected by popular vote. They don't acknowledge that Wyoming is different from New York because they don't want it to be. They want Wyoming to be New York with New York mores and values.

The media plays into this by making Senators national personalities. The 17th Amendment essentially turned Senators into national Senators because they could more easily be bought by national interests through the election process.

Anyone seeking human liberty, privacy and private property under the mental deception of democracy is under the greatest of all illusions.

Let us purge our minds of the seductive appeal, the spiritual despotism of what is popular and "democratic." It has stolen our conscience, our soul and our honor. It is our legacy to future generations to maintain republicanism, and should we not, then we are passing on our slavery. Shame could have no greater victory.

Yours for the truth,

Bob Livingston

We don’t need another election-

We need another revolution!

Postscript

The Democrats are planning to push through a crushing list of socialist policies if they get control of the White House, the House of Representatives, and THE SENATE!

To start, they're going to cancel over $1.6 billion in student loans as if there's a Money Fairy that can just make it all disappear without transferring those costs onto the backs of hardworking Americans.

And liberal governors that have destroyed their state economies with lockdowns want to force taxpayers in other states to pay their bills with a multi-trillion-dollar federal bailout.

Bread is considered the staple of life, yet the knowledge of how to make bread is relegated to stores, bakeries, or bread machines. Normally bread needs an oven, usually powered with electricity, gas, or wood. But in an emergency, you might not have a working oven.

If that's the case, you want bread that is quick to make, has few ingredients, and can be cooked over any heat source. Enter the handy tortilla, or chapatti, also known as flatbread. This type of bread can be cooked anywhere you have a heat source, a flat surface, a frying pan, and the necessary ingredients.

For emergency practice, use a tin can stove and candle on a non-flammable surface. If this is your first time making this type of bread, I would recommend trying it on a regular stove so you can learn how the bread will behave and what to expect...
