Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Other Conservative Voices Grapple with Election Reality

I don’t clearly remember the Gore v Bush election all that well because I was overseas at that time. The news coverage where I was didn’t get all that involved in the fine-grained details of the American election. I do recall however, that I was never really in a sweat over Bush winning because it seemed to me that the Democrats claims were a “Hail Mary” last ditch attempt that did not seem likely to work in their favor.

It seemed to me that George W. Bush had won and that’s the way it would come out in the end.

This time the reversed case with the Republicans is not the same sort of thing. We’re not talking about something silly like “hanging chads” we’re talking about what appears to be wide scale organized election fraud.

That said, I also don’t get the feeling that this is going to work out for the Republicans. There are some legal similarities to Bush v Gore but the legal challenges even going all the way to the Supreme Court, are very nearly insurmountable. It may be that fraud is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt but that it was done in such a way that our current laws are helpless to change the outcome. It may be that the SCOTUS deems that while they would like to do something about this their hands are tied by the very Rule of Law that we hold so dear as conservatives. It may be that even legal victory is insufficient to change anything because this fraud was applied through many, many vectors.

I’m not willing to concede that Biden won but I’m also not sanguine with the likelihood of Trump standing on the podium with his hand on a Bible in January. It looks to me like the most we can hope for is to get this whole election fraud business cleaned up and … It doesn’t look to me like that’s something that is going to happen in a Biden administration.

There are many reasons for this problem but a big one is that Democrats are blatant, bald-faced, unrepentant, unequivocal, obvious, cheaters who are openly proud of their cheating. They justify destroying the Republic in the guise of saving it.

This is as much the fault of the Republican party as it is the Democrats. Because when Republicans have been in power they did nothing but chuckle at this cheating and look away. Until now it was never a deciding factor in a crucial election. I don’t know if the Republican Party was just going along to get along or if they believed the cheating would never rise to the level it has today …Or if they were just negligent, lazy and stupid. Or all of the above.

In fairness, I have a tendency to let personal things go that do not demand immediate action to prevent a negative impact on my personal life. So I understand full well the human characteristics involved — But I’m not an elected official representative of The People charged with the preservation and prosperity of the Republic either. In matters of duty I’ve always taken my responsibilities very seriously. So I feel I can understand while still legitimately criticizing.

Whatever the causes and reasons, here we are today with half the nation losing confidence in the election process and half the nation that doesn’t give a flying rat’s distal alimentary exhaust orifice about election fairness as long as they win.

In essence we have two sides, one is the mature but negligent side and the other the immature and actively seeking advantage at all costs side. This is very much a reflection of the historic trends in overall parenting in America over the last more-than-half century.

It is exactly the same thing but on a larger scale where the kids whine, complain, lie, cheat, and sneak out windows at night so finally the parents just give in and let them do what they want no matter how unwise and unsound what they want might be.

Just like with parenting, the way to stop this is to as my ol’ pal Barney Fife would say “Nip it in the bud”. I never let my kids get to the point described above because when they did something small I took firm, decisive action to halt that kind of behavior. When I or their mother said “No” the answer was no and past that point it got increasingly uncomfortable for them to keep bringing up the issue. Up to and including corporal punishment. Strangely enough to some people — That policy worked very well. My kids learned never to whine and cry and fuss and carry on until they got their way because that didn’t get them their way. It got them disciplinary action. Also strangely enough to eome people — Both my boys grew up to be good men and true, good fathers,good husbands and solidly conservative.

On a broader, and harder scale, that’s what we see happening now in the political venue. Because allowing that behavior to prevail not only encourages but absolutely ensures that it will continue and grow.

The only way to stop that is to punish that sort of negative behavior. Election fraud is still fraud and it a particularly egregious kind of fraud. Unlike fraud wherein funds or assets are stolen from an individual, a company or a bank, Election fraud is theft from the entire adult population of the United States. It should and must be vigorously investigated and enthusiastically prosecuted just like any other fraud.

Only time will tell, now that things have gotten this bad, if we’re past the point of correcting this or if it will lead to the fall of the Republic. Indeed, as the Democrats have now seized the ultimate prize in the entire world, the Presidency of the United States of America, and are not going to want to lose that advantage … The Republic may already have fallen.

We have spared the rod and spoiled the child. That cannot be undone with individuals and it may not be un-doable with our Country.
