THE FROG THEORY
If you drop a frog in boiling water he
will leap right out. If you slowly heat
the water he will be content until it's
too late to get out. That is exactly how
history works. It moves slowly and we
never really see any danger until it's
too late.
Remember how suppressed workers were
before unions came along? The unions
leveled the playing field.
Unfortunately, over a long period of
time the pendulum swung too far. Slowly,
businesses and factories closed and jobs
left the country. We were comfortable
and didn't see the change coming. We
blamed everyone except ourselves for
what happened. We weren't alert to how
slow things change over time.
World War II, and the Korean War,
demonstrated how powerful a united
nation could be. Our nation, and our
families, were united. The father was
the head of the family and the President
was the head of the nation. Both were
highly respected. We were content and
happy.
We were good at fighting a hot war but
we were unprepared to fight a cold war
with the communists in the 50's. They
knew they couldn't change us but they
didn't care. Their philosophy was to
wait it out and capture the minds of our
children. They loaded our colleges with
many of their professors and waited. It
didn't take long to see the results.
The 60''s ushered in the radicals, drug
culture, student protesters, and the
Vietnam War. The aim of the cold war was
to divide and conquer. They divided our
families and the nation. The secret to
defeating a polite and respectful people
is to scream. (Added by ece: Notice the
Muslims are good at this?) The louder
and longer you scream the better your
chance of winning. Radicals are masters
at this form of attack. They know if you
constantly scream and repeat a lie it
will eventually become the truth.
The media, and Hollywood , hammered us
with hate America themes and stories.
Our service men, and women, were jeered,
cursed, and spit on. Even the people,
who latter wanted to become their
President, thrashed them. We lost our
first War in history. There was no
hero's homecoming for our fighting men
and women.
The Reverend King, who was raised in the
old school, peacefully changed the race
issue and united the people. When he
died the new breed of leaders like the
Jesse Jackson's, Lewis Farakhan's, Al
Sharpton's, and Rev. Wright's put a lid
on his efforts and turned racism into a
money making machine.
Corporations were green-mailed by
threats of protests, product boycotts,
or endless lawsuits. Every issue, large
or small, became a race issue. The
public recoiled in fear of being called
a racist. Their voices were silenced
because one word could cost you a
career, get you fired, or get you sued.
Even politicians buckled under to the
pressure. The Florida legislature issued
a formal apology for having slavery 200
years ago. They were thanked by being
asked for compensation. There is no end
in sight for this kind of nonsense.
America didn't capture slaves and bring
them to America . Their own people sold
them to slave traders from several
nations. This knowledge doesn't stop the
screamers. History is what it is and you
can't change it. There have been many
tragic events in history. You
acknowledge them and move on.
They divided our nation into two
separate Americas . We now have
Americans, and African-Americans,
although Africa has nothing to do with
being an American. You can be one or the
other but not both. You are what you
were born to be. You do not subordinate
our country to any foreign nation. It's
equivalent to flying the African flag
above the Stars and Stripes. If you
hyphenate two countries America always
comes first.
This election year could be the turning
point in our history because the frog
theory has come into play. It's time to
step back and look at how the country
has slowly changed since the cold war
started. Don't get caught up in all the
hype.
George McGovern was the first
Presidential candidate to test the
waters with college students. The
Clinton 's played a big role in his
campaign. It was the worst campaign ever
run. He was crushed in the election.
Step two was to infiltrate all the
information vehicles such as radio,
newspapers, magazines, TV and movies.
They were quite successful at that.
Jimmy Carter was the first President to
demonstrate the leadership skills of the
far left. Weak military, high taxes,
runaway inflation, 19% mortgage rates,
and plain incompetence ended his career
in Washington . Iran , a small country
at the time, took American hostages and
kicked sand in our face. By negotiating
from weakness Carter could not get the
hostages released.
The big benefit of the Carter years is
that they were followed by the Reagan
years. The nation got a clear look at
the difference between a weak nation and
a strong nation. Every student should
know this difference. When Ronald Reagan
took over the hostages were quickly
released, taxes were lowered, inflation
dropped, mortgage rates dropped, and the
military was strengthened. Russia
quickly waved the white flag and waited
for another Democrat term.
Clinton took over Carters uncompleted
social programs. He weakened the
military and tried to pass large
government programs. An Intern derailed
his Presidency. While he was tied up
with his personal problems his lawyers
ran the country. He passed up three
opportunities to take out Osama Bin
Laden.
By the end of his term the left had
captured a large share of the media and
it flexed its muscle in 2000. The hate
Bush campaign got off to a roaring
start. The brainwashing theory of
repeating the same story over and over
again was launched.
There were endless stories about our
evil nation and its President.
Top-secret plans were leaked to the
press and printed for the entire world
to see. Hollywood cranked out
documentaries about the evil Bush
administration and our evil military.
They laid the groundwork for the next
election. The ACLU flooded the courts
with lawsuits and the Democrat party
became a law firm. Almost every
incumbent, or his or her spouse, is a
lawyer.
They now have the perfect candidate
because they can squash criticism by
playing the race card. If you don't like
Obama, or criticize him, you are a
racist. They can hide his inexperience
and background by turning him into a
rock star and singing change and hope.
They don't tell us what kind of change,
or how it will be done, only that you
should hope for the best. By keeping the
hype going they don't have to put
anything of substance on the table.
The only thing we really know about
Obama is that his wife has never been
proud to be an American. They want us to
believe that his liberal college
professors, Rev. Pfleger, his ties to
radicals Bill Ayer and Lewis Farakhan,
and listening to the Rev. Wright's hate
talks for 20 years, had no influence on
his thinking. If they didn't, then who
did? He wasn't in business and didn't
see fit to serve his country. These
people launched his political career and
their organizations received earmarks in
return for their campaign donations and
political help. They must have had some
influence. Rev. Wright's church received
over $15 million. That's only one small
local church. Think on a national scale.
The change being promoted is a change
back to the Carter years. It started in
2006 when the lawyer party took over.
There have been endless lawsuits and
investigations in retaliation for the
Clinton years. It keeps the lawyers busy
but does nothing for the economy. The
economy has been in a downward spiral
since they took over.
Returning to the Carter years of high
taxes, high inflation, and a weak
military is not the change we are
looking for. We cannot cower to a bunch
of crazies whose only goal in life is to
kill us.
The old sages (over 50) will have to
play a big role in this election. The
young people simply don't know what the
aged know. The advantage of aging is the
knowledge you accumulated. You know what
United States means. You know what the
seldom-heard word respect means. You
know how wonderful freedom and
independence is. You know the difference
between a strong and a weak nation; and
you know what it takes to keep it
strong. You know history because you
have lived it.
Although the old guard is dying off, and
getting too tired to fight, they have to
muster one more charge. If they don't,
our children, and grandchildren, will
never know the joy and freedom that is
the bedrock of our country. The heat is
slowly being turned up and the water is
getting hot. The old frogs better start
jumping before it's too late.
