And So It Begins: Our Night In Shining Armor

Everyone who reads this blog knows we didn't like Obama or the Democrats before the election, didn't give in after the election, and have been looking forward to this day - when we can kick the chair out from under them - for the next two years solid. Well, the big day has arrived and we just voted, straight Republican ticket, and we're back now to say you should, too. Why? Let James Delingpole, a bloke from England, start the explanation:

God how I wish I were American right now. In the US,...they do still understand the principles of “don’t tread on me” and “live free or die.” Not all of them, obviously – otherwise a socialist like Barack Obama would never have got into power. But enough of them to understand that in the last 80 or more years – and not just in the US but throughout the Western world – government has forgotten its purpose. It has now grown so arrogant and swollen as to believe its job is to shape and improve and generally interfere with our lives. And it’s not. Government’s job is to act as our humble servant.

...look at Australia; look at Canada; look at New Zealand; look at anywhere in the EUSSR; look at America – at least until things begin to be improved by today’s glorious revolution. Wherever you go, even if it’s somewhere run by a notionally “conservative” administration, the malaise you will encounter is much the same: a system of governance predicated on the notion that the state’s function is not merely to uphold property rights, maintain equality before the law and defend borders, but perpetually to meddle with its citizens’ lives in order supposedly to make their existence more fair, more safe, more eco-friendly, more healthy. And always the result is the same: more taxation, more regulation, less freedom. Less “fairness” too, of course.

But wait - there's more - and this is where TMR's themes come in:

As you all know, since Climategate I’ve been dedicating far more of my time than is healthy to exposing the great Global Warming scam. This is not because I’ve suddenly realised I’m a scientist manque who wants to spend the rest of his life obsessing about forcings, feedbacks and solar radiation. It’s because I understand that “Environmentalism” is but one strategically significant theatre in a much greater ideological war being waged across the world.

Yes, environmentalism is indeed an issue in this election, and across the world. But so are it's supporters and their beliefs. So all TMR's usual suspects are also on the hot seat - the Oprah's and the Sheryl Crow's and all the others who thought that, because they had a microphone, they also had the right not to leave us the fuck alone.

Oh, don't be fooled, this is definitely a rebuke of Oprah as well as Obama - she brought him to us, remember? He was "The One"? Well, fuck her and the Obama cult, he's "Number Two" now (pun intended) and TMR's way is in charge again.

And don't be fooled:

This is also TMR's election victory.

We were here before the Tea Party, fighting for and against the very same ideas they've finally come to agree with, whether they knew about us or not. Listen to Tim Rutten of The L.A. Times:

For example, 19 of the 20 GOP candidates who are in closely contested races and have expressed a position on the issue say they have doubts about the scientific evidence for global warming, despite the overwhelming consensus among scientists. That includes Arizona's John McCain, who formerly supported legislation to reduce carbon emissions. Mark Kirk of Illinois, who voted for cap-and-trade as a congressman, is the lone Republican holdout. Some of the other senatorial candidates express ambivalence about the science but firmly reject any legislative or regulatory remedy; more agree with Louisiana's David Vitter, who calls the evidence for climate change "pseudo-science garbage."

Recent polls show just how deeply partisan the split over global warming has become, and how closely it conforms to the deep fissures that have reshaped this year's electoral landscape. A survey by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center, for instance, found that over the last four years, the percentage of Americans who believe there's solid scientific evidence for climate change has declined from 79% to 59%. In 2006, half of us believed that global warming was caused by human activities; today, only 34% do. An Opinion Research Corp. survey found that while 82% of Democrats feel the United States should take a leading role in addressing global warming, only 39% of Republicans now do.

But we were there long before the rest of them, getting unceremoniously kicked off "science" blogs, for daring to speak the truth, when no one else would dare in such venues. The only thing that's missing from the Tea Party movement is the individualized nature of how we came to that conclusion.

Few to this day - even after 40+ years of being a part of our lives - can explain what NewAge is, but understanding this "spiritual" belief system has formed the basis of how we came to the conclusions we have on the issues being decided today, and in two more years, and we're very happy to say we've been proven wrong on none of them. Here's the real "sanity" out there:

A vote against Oprah Winfrey IS a vote against Barack Obama, "Green" legislation, race-based boondoggles, general fraud, and more.

For us, it's that simple:

If she's for it, we've just voted against it.

Nothing to do with Nancy Pelosi, or Harry Reid, or Jon Stewart, or even Barack Obama - they're just fellow travelers - it's voting against anyone, and anything, that has to do with Oprah and NewAge that we're focused on - and we think you should be, too.

So go - vote. Do it now. And, even if you haven't studied the issues, you will find making the correct choice as easy as pie:

Right before you check a box, or pull a lever, ask yourself this one simple question:

"Does this agree with what NewAgers think or don't it?"

And then, if it does, pull the trigger and vote the other way.

You simply can't go wrong.
