You Load Sixteen Tons and What Do You Get?

Republicans Never Again

It is repeatedly being said the Republicans need to stay the current course and keep harping about the tax and spend liberals and they will win back control of government. The knowledge of the tax and spend policy of Democrats is not relevant here and not a factor at all. I know that may shock you somewhat but it needs to be said in the interest of truth. I wish that were true but it isn’t because it is obvious the leadership of the Republican still don’t have a clue what this past election was all about evidenced by repeating the same old same old. To start with, the Republican leadership doesn’t have anything to back up their demands for conservatism. The only way conservatives will be a voice again is if they have the economic tools behind them. When it comes to understanding the mindset of the American people it comes down to this. When a person loses his/her ability to control their own destiny a historically familiar pattern develops everything to include morals goes out the window and that is the pattern we are all witnessing. It is a time in America where there is little hope for a man/woman to be successful in creating a sustained good life for their family. And because it is so difficult to accept losing a comfortable lifestyle to a much less one hope goes out the window and people will grasp at any opportunity to maintain a comfort level they are used to even it if it is done with through the roof credit, which is what happened. I might add this desperation is what makes for a dangerous situation in that a silver-tongued guy like Obama can masterfully manipulate the minds of the American people into believing anything that promises to restore people to their former selves, hence the words of a former United Nations Secretary General, we need a man that can get us out of this hell, we don’t care if it is the devil himself.
When we lost our manufacturing jobs which is the backbone of any economy and what made America the envy of the world we started down the slippery slope to oblivion. These jobs are gone and Republicans had their chance to stop it and didn't. I have to ask what are the Republican leaders going to conserve? Tech jobs are gone now also and all that is left is a service and stock market economy that is dependent on what these overseas jobs or our former manufacturing jobs provide for us. We stand at the ready to service these manufactured products in all its forms but few are being produced today and those that are being sought after by service companies in the rest of the world at a greatly reduced cost. This is a cost that makes America a non-competitive entity with the result that forces down wages that much more. When you lose your manufacturing base you also lose the ability to decide how these products will be marketed and serviced. Add to that the fact we allowed our technological advantage to get away from us through selling or giving away our technology we are where we are. Our arrogance and ignorance is responsible for lowering our guard on this precious advantage we once held. Then we allowed the extremist of the far-left leverage over our ability to remain a manufacturing giant through “wacko” environmentalist and groups such as PETA, NOW, ACLU (American Communist Law Usurpers) and many others. Our leaders have essentially done a double back flip with our trade policy; gone from setting the rules to being a follower of the rules. You are left at the mercy of what others do meaning you no longer control your own destiny. The service jobs that are left are being given to overseas entities because of the cheap labor so we are losing here also. So what is left for Republicans to harp on? In 1955 78% of the GDP was based in manufacturing and today that figure is 14% and replaced with consumer spending which now makes up 70% of the GDP, so consider the dramatic affects this has had on the American economy. We are left with our hands out saying to the rest of the world “make something so I can package and sell it for you”. We have gone from magnate to beggar. This is where we are today so it is not altogether the American people's fault for taking the position they have towards Obama. I think if you research what pulled most heavily on the heart strings of most Americans during the campaign you will find it is when Obama said he was going to stop giving tax breaks to companies that moved jobs overseas and give them to companies that are here in America. Of course we all know that is another of his big lies because he knows he doesn’t control that aspect of the economy because we have turned our economy over to the international financiers of the world and they will determine our future. After all, W pushed so-called “free trade” by lying to Americans that it is the way to grow the economy and Americans finally saw that for what it was, growing trade deficits that are out of control to the point our creditors dictate policy to us now. Examples: the Arabs demand we accept “Sharia Law” as a prerequisite for loaning money to AIG now called 21st Century or anyone else. Take the UK for example it is now deeply entrenched in Shariah-Compliant Finance – which means Islamists not only have demonstrations, riots and terrorism with which to threaten the Brits they also have the power of money. In other words the way of life for Britain’s citizens has changed dramatically. So when the outrageous detention of Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders when he entered London’s Heathrow Airport, after which British authorities deported Wilders back to Holland. Why? Wilders flew to London after being invited to show his documentary Fitna in Britain’s House of Lords, in spite of being warned by the British Home Office that his presence in the UK would “threaten community harmony and therefore public security.” In other words, Islamists were protesting and there were those in the British government who were afraid that Wilders’ visit would set off Muslim rioting or, worse yet, terrorist attacks. China has used manipulation of their currency to maintain an advantage over America with little being said or done about it because we can no longer act from a position of strength. China has gone virtually unchallenged with only lip service toward them with this illegal procedure they have used for years. To start with you don’t do business with evil empires like we have China because we get the results we are witnessing today and turn our backs on our friends such Taiwan. We are reaping what we have sown and as far as the blame being leveled at the American people about the only truth here is we keep re-electing the same reprobates again and again and the sellout continue unabated. God help us I hope we learn from this and don’t repeat the same mistake.
The greatest demise of the American economy began with Clinton (NAFTA, World Trade Organization) and W through so-called non-existent free trade policy, plus open borders allowed the false economy (credit and a manipulated stock market) to grow where it is now and it has come home to roost. We have had plenty of years of experience with the WTO to understand the anti-U.S. nature of this globalist organization and how trade policies of recent decades that have helped to neuter a fair portion of a once much mightier U.S. industrial base. The greatest deception of this period of time simply means the so-called sustained economic growth during the Clinton years was done so artificially under the guise of credit while the implementation of sending manufacturing overseas was accomplished. Clinton also raided Social Security to fund non-related socialist programs and pay down debt while at the same time reducing our defense capabilities drastically. Add to that Clinton's making loans to homeowners that couldn't afford them and as a result it drove up all time high records of consumer debt and the banks are defaulting as a result of being forced to make these loans by him. I have no doubt once the dust settles and an objective look is taken of the Clinton years in the White House he will go down as one of th worst presidents in the history of the United States because of what he did to the economy and how he lowered the bar morally. And the Democrats and Republicans remained virtually silent while this was taking place.
The only way Republicans will gain a voice again is to somehow get these manufacturing jobs back in America and quite honestly with the international bankers, central banks, etc. using their ability to manipulate currencies and now having control of our economy I don't see that happening. As Ernie Ford sang, you load sixteen tons and what do you get, another day older and deeper in debt, St. Peter don’t you call me cause I can’t go, I owe my soul to the company store and only St. Peter or rather Jesus can get us out of this fiasco but at this point the majority of Americans can’t see the trees for the forest because they are single-mindedly focused on financial survival. Republicans had the chance to right the wrongs of jobs being shipped overseas, the growing homosexual community’s influence on politics, abortion, hate crimes, pornography, and all other immoral things that are bringing down America but didn’t. Republicans had the chance to stand strong for our only democratic ally (Israel) in the Middle-East and didn’t do it. Instead, they knowingly forced Israel to agree to give up more land for peace to an enemy that will never be satisfied until Israel is completely destroyed which isn’t going to happen because these people happen to be the apple of God’s eye contrary to what many pulpits are spewing today via “Replacement Theology” which says Israel has been replaced by the church and all prophecy ceased at A.D.70. We missed a great chance to capitalize on God’s promise by adhering to God’s word which says, Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee (Israel), and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Instead of dealing with the Arabs from a position of strength as Reagan did our leadeship caved to the demands of the Arab Muslims. God described the Arab this way, which are by the way descendents of Ishmael Abraham’s illegitimate child Genesis 16:12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. Without elaborating isn’t this what we are witnessing from these people and the bible is proved to be true on this matter. Take the time to study the Quran and you will get an even better understanding of the mindset of these barbarians as Reagan called them.
The bottom line is Americans want long time secure jobs they can plan their lives around and there aren’t any. Average life of a middle or upper income job today is five years so what kind of planning can one do when faced with this? Under the current cloud of uncertainty the mortgage delinquency fiasco can only do one thing and that is to continue as it now is. Can one imagine taking on a 30 year mortgage with these prospects combined with the fact Americans all things considered are working at 1978 wage levels and real inflation is still creeping up forcing them to lose even more buying power. Americans have no choice but look to government for help because our economy has relegated us to a welfare state dependent on socialistic policy for survival. It s true this policy will also fail as has been proven repeatedly by other nations that have gone down this road but what other horse are the American people going ride until this happens? We are at the end of our rope and because we remained silent for so long we are about to finish hanging ourselves. America is as the story of the horse tormented by a boar. Exasperated, Horse asked Man for help. “Certainly,” said Man, “I shall help you, but first you must let me saddle you up.” Agreeing to the terms, Horse found his problem quickly resolved, but found too, the price extracted was weighty: Horse’s freedom. Of course, the moral of this story applies directly to what we see happening in America today, which is a frightened and tormented people that is willing to horse-trade away its fundamental freedoms. Harp all you want about spending but until you give the American people something concrete or hope they can sink their teeth into forget it. We are clinging desperately to end of the slippery slope and Obama and the Democrats are applying the grease to make it a near impossibility to hold onto. There is only one possibility for America notwithstanding turning our moral lives around to include our position on Israel and that is socialism then communism.
