An Open Letter to West Virginians

Guest Post by Southern Sage

This November West Virginians, like all other Americans, will cast votes in what is probably the most important election in our lifetime.  2016 was, of course, a turning point but 2018 will decide whether the last chance we have to turn this country around will continue or if Trump will be just a footnote in history.  If the Congress is lost and the Democrats regain power our country is irretrievably lost.  The treasonous conspiracy to destroy the America our ancestors built will triumph and our descendants will curse us for the fools we were in throwing away the last, best hope of mankind.  Some of you may view this view as alarmist but it is cold, hard fact.  The Democratic Party of 2018 is not the party of 1930, 1950, 1960, or even of 1990.  It is under the control of a gang of cynical, evil men and women who propose to install in our beloved country a government, laws, and a society utterly alien to America and repugnant to the vast majority of Americans.

The backgrounds of creatures such as Valerie Jarrett – the daughter of Communists and the mentor of  Obama – should be enough to open the eyes of any adult American.  And Obama himself?  The very first political event ever held for him was hosted by the notorious Communist terrorist and murderer Bill Ayers and his wife, like him a terrorist.  Do you think it was an accident that the loathsome John Brennan, former CIA director and now mainstream media talking head, was an accident?  Brennan, a leftist fanatic, boasts of voting for the Communist Party of the USA in 1976.  Don’t think that the fall of the Berlin Wall had the least effect on the minds of these true believers in a false and monstrous god, the god of Marx and Lenin.

Of course, they are far too clever to admit their true beliefs.  They demonstrate their absolute contempt for you by pretending to be “Progressives” rather than what they really are, the Domestic Enemy named in our Constitution.  How many Americans alive today know that the term “Progressive”, first used in the early 20^th century by American reformers, was in fact adopted by the Communists when their true name became odious to all civilized human beings.  Today’s “Progressives” are the direct descendants, literal or political, of the disloyal and credulous Americans who allowed themselves to be used as Stalin’s puppets in the 1930’s and 1940’s.

The fact that most people who call themselves Democrats are God-fearing, patriotic, decent Americans can in no way change the brutal truth that the party they vote for is in the hands of a cabal that hates this country and wishes to see it transformed into a hideous parody of the great nation bequeathed to us by the Founding Fathers.   The good people who call themselves Democrats are lending their names, their honor and their vote to people who will gleefully destroy all that those good people believe in.

I have no brief for much of the Republican Party.  It has revealed itself to have a hard core of unprincipled, greedy, foolish, cowardly opportunists who are nothing more than shills for the donor class of millionaires and billionaires.  These are the soulless men and women who have stabbed President Trump in the back at every opportunity so their wealthy donors can continue to import cheap labor to drive down the  wages of American workers, not even caring that they are active participants in the vile plans of the Democrats to change the demographic texture of our country by importing the paupers of the world, willing serfs who will remember who allowed them to mock our laws and enjoy the benefits meant for our own children.

Make no mistake.  Beyond simply using these economic migrants to retain political power, there are large sectors of the Democratic Party consciously carrying out a war against the core population of the country.  They seek to generate even more racial and ethnic hatred.  We all know how well they have succeeded.

That said, the American people have no vehicle other than the Republican Party to save this country, as imperfect and, indeed, corrupt as it certainly is.  To those who argue that one should vote for the “best” man or woman, I have to reply, yes, under ordinary circumstances that is true.  We are not in ordinary times.  By voting to put a Democrat – any Democrat – in office, you are lending your support to the national leaders of the Democrat Party described above.  It does not matter that the particular Democratic candidate in your district is a “good” person.

The objective truth is that this “good” person is a tool and weapon in the hands of the Schumer’s, Pelosi’s, of Luis Gutierrez, of Keith Ellison, of De Blasio, of their backers, like Robert De Niro and the rest of the Hollywood idiot chorus, and of the leftist media, that has lied to this country without pause for more than fifty years.  Yes, voting for that “good” Democrat is the same as voting to put the worst elements in this country in power.

Many of you may have doubts about President Trump.  Leaving aside the outrageous bias of the news media, which has twisted his every word and denigrated his every accomplishment, I understand.  There are probably not a dozen people in this country who imagined 20, or even ten, years ago that Donald Trump would be president.  It surely never occurred to me.  He was a controversial businessman, a show business figure, and a man with taste for pretty women; that was about the extent of my knowledge of the man.

When he first emerged out of the swamp of listless Republican primary candidates I first took him to be merely an entertaining addition to a boring collection of mostly has-beens.  This changed soon enough, when he proved to have a backbone of steel and an astute and shrewd understanding of the political process, coupled with the moral courage to go where no American politician had gone in decades. He earned the seething hatred and scorn of the governing class but the people understood that here, finally, was somebody who told it like it was and did not give a damn about the consequences.

True, his personality, his Tweets, his rapid shifts in tactics, his bluntness, and even his hair style, were astonishing to most Americans and most of the world.  But he was elected and more than any other president in modern times has at least tried to keep his promises, against the furious opposition of the Progressive conspirators and his own largely disloyal party, not to mention the rest of the leftist lunatic fringe across the country.

There was one group, however, that was not astonished by Trump – the hard core Progressive leaders.  They had feared the coming of a man like him for a long time, hoping that they would be able to consolidate their power before it happened.  Hillary Clinton, the sour, arrogant, incompetent, entitled candidate of their movement was to have made irreversible the illegal, unconstitutional and un-American actions of Obama.  Trump’s election snatched victory from their very jaws of these jackals.  Their rage knew no bounds.  Many of them went insane literally before our eyes.  Their “Progressive” nightmare was stopped in its tracks by one man and the American people, by the slimmest of margins.

They resolved then and there to do anything to stop Trump from governing and, hopefully, to remove him from power, either through a legal process of impeachment (in fact virtually impossible because of Republican control of Congress) or through illegal means.  This included the bogus accusations of “collusion” with Vladimir Putin’s Russia, a contention so absurd on its face that the fact that some Americans took it seriously is merely proof of how debased and ridiculous our national political life has become.  The pathetic figure of Robert Mueller will one day adorn our national garbage can, a dirty cop who betrayed his country and the law.

West Virginians, do not let a personal aversion to the personality or the style of President Trump lead you to vote against the interests of your country.  Whatever you may think of him, it should be clear that the election of Hillary Clinton would have ended with the absolute corruption of all of our institutions of government.

And what of the campaign of a gentleman named Richard Ojeda in the 3^rd Congressional District of your state?  One could be forgiven for thinking that the election of one congressman is hardly the stuff that needs to draw national attention.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Mr. Ojeda’s campaign is vital, and it s vital that he be defeated.

On the face of it, this should not be the case.  I have no reason to believe that Ojeda is anything other than what he says he is, a patriotic, honest, well-meaning American, a veteran who served this country honorably, gallantly and with distinction.  Mr. Ojeda makes no secret of the fact that his grandfather was an illegal immigrant from Mexico and his own father, born in the U.S., moved to Mexico and lived there for a few years.  Nor should he make it a secret.  He is not responsible for his grandfather’s choices and, even if he was, his service to our country should erase any questions about them.  Mr. Ojeda says he was born into a “Democratic family”, an issue familiar to me.  My grandfather, who I never knew, was a “Red-Suspendered Talmadge Man” and Democratic Party ward heeler in Georgia.  I get it.

Mr. Ojeda’s positions on the issues are hardly radical, though his support for Bernie Sanders, an amusing if abrasive Socialist crackpot out of Vermont by way of Brooklyn, New York, makes one pause and think.  He has worked to help the poor, children and elderly, surely a noble undertaking.  He definitely supports the working man, as he sees it.  And he actually supported President Trump in the 2016 election, a fact that shows that he is a Democrat of rare moral courage.  An unusual man, Richard Ojeda, to be sure, and in other circumstances the kind of maverick and straight-shooting person we need in Congress.  But not this year.  You must vote against him even if, to paraphrase the Southern Democrats of the post-Civil war era, you have to vote for a yellow dog.

This is the real issue.  The calculating gang of pseudo-Marxist subversives who control the Democratic Party know full well that Trump, for all his faults, has tapped into something huge in the American psyche.  They know that millions of Americans who opposed him in the last election grudgingly admit that, his foibles notwithstanding, Trump loves our country, is trying to do what he said he would do and is far more intelligent than his opponents.  They are perhaps willing to give him a chance.  As for his base, they remain rock solid.  This spells disaster for them and they know it.  Eight years of Trump, possibly followed by eight of Vice President Pence, will mean the definitive end of the Progressive conspiracy.

American will never be transformed into a mere geographical expression, without a people, without a history, without the rule of law, without patriotism, without a shred of pride or power in the world.  This is what they want and they will never get it.  Even if they do manage to mount an illegal coup against Trump it is too late for them – the American people are no longer asleep.  They will never be able to creep into power like a thief in the night, as they planned.  They will be met by patriots with weapons in their hands.  America may be destroyed but it will never be enslaved by these creatures.  Of course, this fact will not stop them from trying.

Acting with the guile, complete lack of honor and total cynicism which their type are justly famous for, the Democrat leaders have grasped at a desperate tactic.  They know now that real Americans reject their aims, their means, and most Democratic leaders.  This being the case, they have no choice but to adopt measures as dishonest as any ever used in the history of our country.

The American people honor and revere the men and women who wear or who have worn our country’s uniform, as well they should.  Knowing this, the Democrats have combed the country with a fine-toothed comb to find the handful of veterans who support their party.  They have carefully groomed them, financed them, and pushed them forward as the “new face” of the Democratic Party.  Seeking to profit from the honorable service of these decent if misguided dupes, the Democrats are attempting to wrap themselves in a flag for which they have nothing but contempt.  The vast majority of these “military Democrats” are simply unsophisticated, naïve, and unreflective.  A few are witting and willing tools of the Democratic cabal, resentful, ambitious, or stirred by racial and ethnic hatreds.

I am sure most of these veterans are well-meaning and sincerely believe that they can serve the American people by gaining election to Congress.  Few have anything in common with the radicals who really control the party and most know almost nothing about them, a situation the party leaders surely intend to maintain.

The ugly fact is that if elected they will have no power at all and they will be coerced to vote for the most extreme and repugnant measures the party leaders can dream up.   They will be the object of secret sneers and chuckles on the part of the real Democrats, who have nothing but disdain for them and their kind.  They will be looked upon exactly as a New York con man looks upon a rube just in from the farm.

Putting them in power is not an expression of local support or a vote for a “good” man or woman.  It is a fatal miscalculation that will do nothing but harm our country.

I should end by pointing out another thing that should cause all of you to think.  Military service, as I have said, confers great honor upon the veteran.  There is no shame in not serving as long as you do not break the law by evading it.  No man or woman is under any obligation to volunteer, though they must answer the call if it comes through lawful authority.  Our country is not a club you can simply opt out of because you disagree with the political class in power.  I served during the Obama regime, though I considered him to be an illegitimate usurper (I had personal knowledge that he was, but I do not want to discuss it here).  That said, my personal opinion apart, it never occurred to be to do anything but carry out my duties to the best of my abilities in obedience to what our leaders accepted as lawful authority.

I volunteered for military service, served honorably, and went on to other things.  I am proud of my service but I do not wear it on my sleeve.  Neither should anybody else.  John McCain, believed by some to be a “hero” of the Vietnam War, has shamelessly used his military service and his status as a former POW to garner support and to silence his critics.  The truth is that there are many questions about his service, his use of the influence of his father to advance his career, and his conduct as a POW.  The vast majority of the POW’s of the Vietnam War bore their hardships with courage and dignity, never seeking to profit from their service.  The same cannot be said of McCain and it is no coincidence that he is among those who have done the most to sabotage the presidency of Trump, siding with the most disreputable and sinister people in this country.

Those who serve are the best of our nation, but not every man in uniform is a hero or even a patriot.  Patriotism does not start when you put it on and does not end when you take it off.  Honorable service in the military means very little if you later fail to walk the path of the true patriot.  The sad story of John McCain is proof enough of that.

It is clear that Mr. Ojeda and the other “military Democrats” hope to attract the support of American patriots by highlighting their military service, thus hiding the fact that their election will do nothing but bolster the power of the Democrat leaders, who are anything but patriots.  The use of these men and women – however well-intentioned they may be as individuals – is merely a smokescreen for a political program that is deeply anti-American and foreign to our history, customs, laws, and traditions.  There is nothing “American” about the so-called “Progressives”.

Americans, including all West Virginians, must reject this sordid and grotesque attempt to gain votes by playing on the admiration our people feel for those who have served in our military.  We all know what the Democratic Party really represents and it is nothing honorable, decent or American.

Richard Ojeda may well be a truly good man.  If so, and if he can’t bring himself to support Trump or the Republicans, he should run as an independent.  By lending his name and his honorable military service to the Democrats he is failing his country.  West Virginians should understand this and they should vote accordingly.
