Observations From the Back Row

By Rich Kozlovich 

As a result of his travels to many different cultures 2500 years ago Herodotus noted that “culture was king’, and the results of this midterm election shows America’s culture has a serious problem.

California elected a governor who can reasonably be held responsible for the exploitation of children; there will be up to ten Muslims in Congress who want to impose Sharia law and dump the Constitution; there will be eight men who claim they’re women, and any number of Members of Congress that openly demand Republicans not only be prosecuted, some want them shot for daring to oppose them.

This didn’t happen overnight.  For 237 years this effort to destroy the West’s Judaic/Christian culture was the long game in Europe and in America it’s been the game plan since the late 19th century, we can reasonably say almost 150 years. We’re not going to overturn that with court cases or even single elections.   As it is now; culture is king, and corruption is queen, and the battle has to begin in the schools and the churches/synagogues which need to be seriously purged of their corrupt and heretical Woke leaders. That will take time, and we may not have the time, the demographics or the societal consensus necessary to accomplish that.

Once western civilization abandoned it’s Judaic/Christian foundation, with support from church leaders, this became as predictable as night follows day. For over 20 years I’ve said the EU is doomed. Now… that prediction is on the verge of becoming a reality and when it’s all done, there will be three Islamic nations with nuclear bombs. Pakistan, France, and England.

California elected a governor who can reasonably be held responsible for the exploitation of children; there will be up to ten Muslims who want to impose Sharia law and dump the Constitution; there will be ten men who claim they’re women, and any number of Members of Congress that openly demand Republicans not only be prosecuted, some want them shot for daring to oppose them. 

Thune and company have smugly and arrogantly squandered their time in “power”. Where a 60 vote requirement is necessary the Democrats will filibuster. Where 60 votes aren’t required the RINO’s will not support a majority vote. The Republican party is heading to an accounting with the base and if there’s not a purge of it’s leadership before 2028, all is lost.

Thune ran for the job as the minority leader of the Senate Republicans, and he's did so because he says he's done a magnificent job with his “strong record of accomplishment", like failing to end the "blue slip" tradition that allows home state Senators to approve or object to judicial and U.S. attorney nominees, which is not a Constitutional requirement it's a Senate rule.  Or how he prevented the confirmation of federal judges and even prevented recess appointments by scheduling very brief pro forma sessions every couple of days when the Senate was in recess.  For the President to be able to make recess appointments the Senate must be in total recess for ten days, and how he didn't end the filibuster when it mattered.   He refused allow Senators to vote on the SAVE Act for secure elections, which probably played a major role in the Republican midterm route. Since that's clearly what the Democrats wanted, one must ask:  Who has he working for? 

Well, his view of what he deems as accomplishments isn't accepted across the board and there was a bit of a revolt to oust him as leader.  The Republican Senate wasted two years under his watch, and electing him as Senate Minority Leader is a reward for failure on a massive scale.

What I really find puzzling is Trump's take on this. He claims Thune is a “very fine man” and he likes John Thune.  That's just nuts, and now the Republicans have less than sixty days left in power, and the House Freedom Caucus is demanding passage of Voter ID, border crackdown, and one trillion dollars in spending cuts before the Democrats take over and there will be no leaving until it's done. 

Do I think that will happen? No, I don't.  The problem with the Republican party is … it’s not a party…. it’s a conglomeration of know nothing, do-nothing, self-serving incompetents with no shared vision or goals.  They talk the talk, but fail…. unendingly …. to walk the talk.   Just like clueless Bush the first…., it’s “that vision thing”.  On the other hand, the Democrats really are a party.  While they’re even a worse party of no nothing incompetents, they’re a party with a shared vision marching in lock step to attain power in any way possible no matter how many lies they have to tell, or how many promises they have to make to attain that power.  The Republicans wasted two years eating each other, and now they're going to go home on recess, defeated like whipped dogs with no fight in them.

Well, the issue of who will lead the Republicans has been resolved.  First, this breaking news article appeared generating a glimmer of hope when it was announced that Jim Jordan was chosen to be the next Republican House leader.  But any hope that may have generated was dashed to the pavement with the Senate Republicans choosing John Thune to continue leading them down the drain.  

So much for Senate rules over delaying the vote.  It turns out the swamp won, and the delay Senator Johnson wanted in order to have a "robust, robust soul-searching discussions within our conference" will not happen.  Will this accomplish creating a united Republican Senate?  No. There won't be a united Republican Senate, and I think it will become even more disunited than in the past.  Senator Johnson has said he's chosen a side, while remaining a Republican he's chosen the side of the Tea Party, and I'm inclined to think he'll be joined by more than just a few. 

As for the public's view of reality.  Here's an analysis I found interesting regarding this midterm election.  What was the role religion played in this election?

  1. First, and this is hardly a surprise, it was the non religious who supported this Democrat victory. 
  2. Secondly, half of the evangelicals stayed home.  
  3. Third, and this is the should be the biggest surprise, 50% of Catholics voted for the Democrats and only 49% voted for the Republicans.  
Over 50% of Catholics (the percentage was especially high among younger Catholics) voted for the party that demands the right to murder the innocent unborn, even right up until birth, a mortal sin in the Catholic faith, and for people who hate Christians and want to overturn the Constitution.   

I don’t think it can be questioned we have serious cultural problems.  Problems so profound they may be insurmountable. As I watch this playing out, I fear we’re driving head long… peddle to the metal…. toward societal collapse with extreme levels of violence erupting.  All it would take is economic collapse, and with the left retaking power, all that seems inevitable.
