An Electoral Nightmare for Gun Owners and Freedom Lovers

Raleigh, NC (TLS). This evening I was sipping on some Earl Gray tea while munching on a few 'biscuits,' i.e., cookies. Having a cup of Earl Gray and biscuits is, of course, an old British tradition. Ok, so I admit I didn't have it at the prescribed time of 4 PM. But after all, I am in America. Here we are not quite so anal as to prescribe when these things should be done.

As I was having my tea and biscuits, I stumbled across excerpts from a speech recently delivered by Dick Morris, Fox News consultant, political pundit, and former political operative for Bill Clinton. Morris is, without doubt, one smart cookie. If I were seeking elective political office, he is the first one I would contact to be on my team.

However, Morris is sometimes very very wrong, such as when he predicted just prior to the November 2006 election cycle that there had been a late turnaround in voter support for the Republicans and that they would likely maintain control of at least one if not both Houses of Congress.

Ok, so even political geniuses like Morris can make mistakes.

However, there is one prediction Morris is making that I fear is no mistake. In the speech in question, Morris stated unequivocally that Hillary Clinton will be the next President of the United States.

He has said this several times over the past year. The reason I take the prediction seriously is that Morris has put his neck on the line by repeating the assertion numerous times. He has written this in his syndicated newspaper columns. He has stated it on Fox News many times. Now he has made this prediction in an important speech before some highly influential individuals.

In short, this is no minor prediction that can be easily forgotten. Morris is betting the farm on his assertion. His reputation is on the line.

And this is what makes his prediction so frightening. Morris claims that the Iraq War has become so unpopular in America that no Republican has a chance of winning in 2008, no matter who they are, and this includes Giuliani, McCain, and Romney. Thus, voters will choose the one they see as the lesser of the evils, Hillary Clinton, despite her repeated warnings about Saddam Hussein before the War and her vote to authorize the invasion. In addition, this is in spite of the fact that her own husband repeatedly warned that Saddam needed to be stopped because of his weapons of mass destruction.

But nevermind. Americans have become intellectually lazy. They will buy Hillary's bull.

It only gets worse from there. Dick Morris postulates that Hillary's administration will be so disastrous that the ire of the electorate will be quickly ignited against her and the Democrats, and thus, they will oust them all in 2012, electing a Republican President and a Republican Congress.

Great news, huh? Not exactly.

The bad news is what Hillary will do during her four years as President, with Democrats controlling Congress. Look for a gun-grabbers' heyday. Goodbye Second Amendment. Hello to socialized medicine. Be prepared to sign away most of your earnings to the federal government to pay for the most sweeping expansion of government power in history. And get set for the United Nations to call the shots in America foreign policy.

The fact that Hillary's trainwreck will result in a Republican sweep in 2012 is little consolation when one considers the horrid nightmare in the years leading up to 2012.

Have you had enough yet? You had better brace yourselves. There's more. Morris further predicts that 2012 will be the last year a Republican will be elected President and probably the last time we will have a Republican majority in the House and Senate. Due to demographic shifts in population, Democrats are set for a long reign in the years after the 2012 election cycle. Their scheme of buying votes by give-away programs to Blacks, and the promotion of open borders that allow illegal aliens to flood the country, will finally pay off. These growing groups will be enough to put Democrats in the majority of all phases of government.

Do you think this is possible? Of course, there is always the possibility that things could change unexpectedly. But Morris' argument is plausible enough to give one nightmares.

Excuse me for a bit. I think I will put my cup of Earl Gray away and head for a double Black-Jack on the rocks.
