Ya' Gotta Dance With Them That Brung Ya'
as the old backwoods saying goes. This recent foot-in-mouth statement by Debra Medina on the Mark Davis radio show certainly brings that old saying to mind. It seems that we spent our whole paycheck on renting the limo, securing the tux, buying the best corsage, driving her to the prom and then she drops us like a rusty penny at the door of the ballroom. Debra, you're shooting yourself in the foot with this despicable thing. You really do need to keep dancing with we who brung ya'.
Being a Medina Campaign 'Team Leader' Coordinator for a six County area in central Texas, I do have a dog in this fight and an opinion to go along with it. I've spent countless hours and finances that I can scarcely afford to give on this campaign and to be thanked by calling me despicable is hardly the gratitude I would have expected. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't rather miffed about this slur against my integrity.
Not to worry though, Mrs. Medina, you haven't lost my support nor will you see a waning in my efforts and this is why:
For starters, I feel sorry for you and those like you who still don't get it that our government is almost entirely comprised of criminals hell-bent on destroying what We the People have oft referred to as The American Dream. It seems that the split second anybody questions the official story presented by our government about practically any issue, they're labeled as somehow hating America. This seems to me to be a great way to execute a plan for tyranny: Steer the Sheeple on whatever path you wish for them to follow and then label anybody who questions that path as unpatriotic or even terrorists.
When most people discuss the act of patriotism nowadays, they seem to confuse love-of-country (patriotism) with love-of-government (foolhardiness). But what do I know, I'm just a poor, dumb carpenter from the 21st century. Maybe, however, you'd be more inclined to believe somebody like this guy, or maybe this guy
or how 'bout this guy or even this guy, since they were in essence the actual founders of the so-called Truth Movement? They demanded and eventually got the truth to come out about the oppression they were subjected to by King George and through sheer diligence they eventually awakened their fellow citizens to these truths. After victory was achieved and independence established, they then put into place the many checks and balances into their own new government to help keep such oppressions from ever happening again. That wasn't enough to satisfy them, though and they almost all went on to warn future generations to remain ever vigilant in order to retain the freedoms they paid such a high price to achieve.
With the history lesson concluded, let's analyze what is likely going on with Mrs. Medina's remarks:
First, I'm guessing that she, like so many others in our nation, is still under the impression that our government can do no wrong; or more accurately, that if criminal actions are uncovered, that the forces of good in the government will ride in on their white horses and nip it in the bud. These are the naïve notions of people who get their daily dose of propaganda from mainstream news sources rather than taking the initiative to research the issue-in-question on their own. The problem with that is that almost 100% of mainstream news is owned and operated by the exact same elitist-collectivist masters who own and operate the political establishment. A second guess is that there also may be handlers within the upper-management of her campaign who are guiding her into saying these things for political reasons. Who knows? Maybe all of the above? My guess though is that her statements stem from sheer ignorance of the questions surrounding 911 or other such events that demand attention by an ever vigilant society. She also may have an ill-conceived notion that truthers are a pack of radical communist flower-children, chomping at the bit to be the first in line to support Al-CIAda (no apologies to you actual commie flower-child Al-Qaeda supporters out there) and as such is unaware of the thousands of PhD-level engineers, architects, scientists and physicists who are loudly demanding answers with regards to the many discrepancies in the official story about 911? These people are about as far removed from the propaganda-disseminated version of a truther that one can get, yet they are ushered into the same false category of bona-fide nut job tin-foil-hat-wearing idiots.
Regardless of the reason or reasons for her misunderstanding of the truth movement, I do still feel that we need to keep backing her bid for governor. I do feel that her heart really is in the right place with respect to her desire to implement a constitutionally adherent government in Texas. Once she's in the governor's seat, we'll be able to feed her plenty of crow with regards to her ignorance of the true nature of the federal government and it's handlers/masters in the international banking community. Lest we forget, we all had our serving of crow at some point in our political evolution.
My guess is that she'll see that light soon enough even without our help, given the fact that much of the same fascist control mechanism is firmly in place within our own state government (thanks to Rick Perry, Dubya and other big-government, collectivism-promoting, fed-appeasing former governors). We can train her after the fact, but we most definitely can't train the likes of Rick Perry or Kay Hutchison. It's not really a lesser of two evils choice either, since I honestly don't feel that any of Debra's intentions are evil in any way. She's simply ignorant and/or misled and that can be changed in someone who is truly a lover of freedom.
To sum this all up: please continue to back this noble effort to get her elected, but just remember that like so many other Americans Debra is a tenderfoot fighter in the freedom-and-truth movement. Treat her as such. Guide her and she'll eventually find the way into the reality-zone.
