Where Do We Go From Here?

Now that the Republicans appear to have lost not only the House but the Senate, the question becomes for those of us who deplore the Democrat Party record on taxes, weakened defense, the gun rights of citizens, and their basic ideology of expanding big government, where do we go from here? What's next?

First, we must never give up fighting for what we know is the truth about what this nation has stood for ever since our Founding. The vision of the Founding Fathers is still relevant today. Human liberty is the highest ideal to which a human being can aspire, and the forces of tyranny constantly attempt to either prevent liberty from expanding or to take away the liberties we have already gained. Diligence is never a finished job. If we take even one brief break from the diligent protection of our rights, big government and those who march in its oppressive army will seize yet one more liberty while we are not looking.

Second, we have allies in this fight in strange places. Most of the Democrats elected to office yesterday are clearly NOT in the ideological camp of Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi. These are staunch conservatives who believe in small government, strong defense, fighting war to win, lowering taxes, and in some cases, prayer in schools and limiting abortions. Libertarians and Republicans who hold to the age-old Jeffersonian conviction of small government can forge strong alliances with this new breed of Democrat. I can see a resurgence of what used to be called 'the Scoop Jackson wing of the Party,' named after the famed Senator Henry 'Scoop' Jackson who was one of the more conservative members of Congress. The Party leadership has managed to marginalize and nearly kill that wing of the Party over the last 25 years. Perhaps the grassroots are rising up to demand that the Party retreat from its fast track to socialism and pacifism.

Third, we who consider ourselves American patriots in the fight against global jihad can mount a massive offensive against this scourge of humanity. Muslim extremists, i.e. Jihadists, are on the march. Europe is increasingly a daily battleground as the Jihadists set cities ablaze. If we do not stop this insidious movement in its tracks NOW, then we too will be fighting the punks in our major cities.

The question is, do we want urban warfare in Manhattan? D.C.? Los Angeles? Houston? Miami? Chicago? It is better to fight this global war in a contained area overseas than to let it spread to our shores. Believe me, if it is happening in Paris and Amsterdam, then the time is coming when it will be happening here. This is due to the fact that America is inflicted with the same disease that has now nearly strangled Western Europe, and that is the politically correct movement that prevents rational people from identifying, profiling, targeting, and incarcerating individuals of the Muslim faith from Northern Africa and the Middle East who wish to convert us or kill us. Their vision of society is oppressive, violent, and dangerous. We must never allow people of this kind to so infiltrate society that we are essentially impotent to stop their madness from advancing. France is a perfect case in point.

Multiculturalism as an ideal has to go. The sooner we bury it the better. It is time we recognized that some cultures ARE superior to others. A culture that promotes and glorifies suicide missions that use babies, children, and young men to blow up groups of people is far inferior to other cultures that value human life and liberty. It is quite as simple as that.

And until we as Americans can state forthrightly with pride that our culture is far superior to theirs, then we will continue in our path down into the abyss that leads to world war on a scale we have never witnessed. We must stand up to the Jihadists and say, 'Not only are you wrong, but your views are sick, and your culture is inferior to ours. It is time you grew into some semblance of civility and leave your bloodthirsty savagery behind.'

Do Americans still have the guts to hold to this kind of blatant truth? Or are we too far gone, like France?
