While America was treated to a new dawn of Defeatocrat leadership in the US House and Senate, Utah held its ground.
If you think it was a lame duck congress before, just wait! Having a California style, left coast leader who votes like a Communist as speaker of the US House will be a new experience for all of us. I hope the President uses his veto power on every bill the Defeatocrats send through congress. They have a very small majority anyway so its not like much will change.
As usual, we had a real treat on election day as we got to hear USU's own Tax funded Dr. William Furlong of the Political Science Department on KVNU Crosstalk with Jennie Christensen. He claims that he is neither a Defeatocrat nor a Republican yet for a good part of a half an hour, he sounded like a public relations speaker for the Democratic National Committee. He went on to basically say that Utahans are stupid because they vote conservative.
Again, this is the type of people and institutions that our Utah Tax money goes toward. You ask me why I don't support public education? This is one of the many reasons. You see, education use to be about learning math, English, writing, science and so on. Today, it's more about junk science, left wing politics, free Sex, socialism and anti Americanism. I support private education!
The kicker of this whole interview with Dr. William Furlong on KVNU was his admission of what he thought our system of Government is suppose to be based on. You can listen to the whole interview here. There was two calls in the last 5 minutes of the interview. One of the callers corrected Dr. William Furlong when he said that we are a Democracy. The caller told him that we are a Republic. He told the caller that he was wrong and that we are not a Republic. He shrugged the term of “Republic” off as if it were nothing more than a “non inherited government.” Wow! And you wonder why our kids and college graduates are so screwed up these days!? Many of them think that the supreme government of this land is the United Nations or should be the United Nations. I know that George Washington would very much disagree with Dr. William Furlong about being a Democracy! Many of the founding fathers made references as to the importance of our being a Republic. There are great differences between the two. One major difference is that sovereignty is also granted to individuals under a Republic where under a Democracy, is is only granted collectively. Or course, you would never learn this in class these days in public schools.
May Heaven watch over America and our Republic these next two years! We will need it! |
