Emotions: Political and Recreational
By Late Nite LeRoy
September 28, 2000
One of the weakest arguments to support a candidate is claiming their ability to win.
This throws all issues out the door and resorts entirely on emotion which is the root of
popularity. Any sales person knows people buy on emotion, not on facts. Benefits are
usually the category of items to list that make the product exciting to the individual.
When a candidate spouts promises that make a voter think benefits will come to him in
exchange for a vote, the candidate usually wins it.
We now must look at a word called integrity. Living up to one's promises is a start for a
definition. But adhering to a moral standard is another point. Does the person adhere to
an established standard like Judeo-Christian ethics, or does he improvise a subjective set
of standards that change with the wind of popular, brainless emotion? We all know what has
been used by the White House the last 8 years and the Democratic party for the last
hundred years.
The challenge now is to combine truth with excitement. But with a desensitized population,
truth and morality are not considered exciting. How do you excite a dead body? A shock is
the only way, short of a miracle by God himself.
Do blacks realize they are being sold back into slavery with government programs? Do
feminists realize rapists are being given carte blanche by making abortion so abundantly
available? Do gay activists realize the behavior that the Democratic party endorses them
to participate in, kills more of them by disease infection than all the anti-gay hate
groups in the world? Do the elderly realize how close euthanasia is to the Nazi death
camps of 60 years ago? Apparently not. Why are we conservatives not wording our arguments
like this? If we don't, November 7 will be another disappointment for everyone.
As stated many times throughout WebToday, America is a constitutional Republic with a
written set of standards. We are not and never have been a democracy. Democracy is best
defined as mob rule. The majority always wins, but never needs any more reason than the
numerical result of the last vote. Karl Marx actually endorsed democracies because they
always degenerate into a tyrannical rule when all systematic order falls apart. But the
ultimate goal of Karl Marx was an elitist rule of the ignorant masses, not the true
distribution of any wealth.
There is most certainly a planned attack on our freedoms with idiotic phrases pushed on
our youth like "Rock the Vote" by MTV. With 2 belt way insiders from the old
school running against each other, why do the liberals keep saying a vote for the most
bloodthirsty party in American history will change anything? Ignorance and misguided
emotions is why.
I never heard the term "spin" used as a synonym for "lie" until Bill
Clinton got in office. But he certainly succeeds in making the masses believe his lies.
The Bible warns us of this behavior by the most dreaded politician ever prophesied, the
Antichrist. Scripture says even the elect will come close to being deceived. I don't think
Clinton is the Antichrist, but scripture warns us of the spirit of Antichrist being
present long before the real character appears.
Games can generate temporary excitement. The actions of an athlete or entertainer have
seldom had any long term effect on controlling my life. But the actions of politicians
elected by people who think it is just another game, HAVE had a long term effect on my
life and all those around me. Over 35 million people could have been contributing citizens
here since 1973 if enough people didn't think life was a game.
As we come down to the last days of the next election, we all need to discern truth from
emotional "spin." I pray we can all get excited about the same things that
excite God, and get bored with the same old baloney spouted by deceivers.
