Did John Forbes Kerry Fail Us?
In a word, no. John Kerry did not fail us. This loss was bigger than any one or all of us, obviously.
The silent majority has spoken at the polls. They have suddenly come alive and effectively shifted the course of our government to the right.
At the extreme right, despotism is about the most natural form of government. It is the easiest to set up and run. At the left is democracy, the most difficult type of government to run.
At the right, one person is vested with unbridled power. At the left, equality.
Over on the right, freedoms are few. On the left, well, you get the picture.
Our Nation was founded just to the right of absolute democracy - a representative free republic. This week, the silent majority has spoken: they do not want to have to think or choose. They want one man controlling all three branches of our government. They do not want freedom. Our foundation shifted measurably to the right. Fully one-half of Americans would rather have a dictator. That is the will of the people today.
Somehow we need to convince these people that they need to keep out of the polls.
This is a call to action we cannot afford to ignore. Now is the summer of our discontent.
