Snatching Defeat from the Mouth of Victory? John McCain has astounded the world with an incomprehensible choice of veep, the dyky woman governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin. Until this choice, McCain was the foregone conclusion for President in November. Now, millions of conservatives will stay home, having absolutely no one to vote for in a society that has become thoroughly radicalized, despite the rise of voluble Radical Right media.

I warned that this was possible. I have said here repeatedly that the only way McCain could lose is if he made an insane choice for veep, and that John McCain is completely out of his mind so, left to his own devices, he might very well make an insane choice. But I thought (hoped) that the collective leadership (Invisible Hand) of the Republican Party would not let him make an insane choice.
+
That makes McCain's choice even more astonishing, because it had seemed in recent weeks that the Invisible Hand that has given us a series of innocuous, Teflon Presidents since the days of the puppet Reagan, had taken over the McCain campaign. You'd think they'd have better sense than to make a Radical Feminist choice. So did they make that choice, or did McCain, famed maverick, make that insane choice and the Invisible Hand couldn't control him?
+
Perhaps the collective leadership decided that McCain is unlikely to die in office, so they don't have to worry about a woman President, which their base decidedly does not want, and can thus do 'lip service' (you should pardon the expression) to Radical Feminism and choose an unknown woman from a remote, unpopulous state and not incite open revolt in Republican ranks, and by so doing, capture the disaffected Radical Feminists offended by the exclusion of Hillary Clinton from the Democratic ticket.
+
This was an act of desperation by people who should have understood that they were in no danger of losing to a black man in 2008, as the polls plainly showed (given that any small advantage to Obama was more than offset by liars who would not admit to voting against him because of his race). Now no one can know the outcome of a race that has suddenly become actually competitive. All bets are off.
+
This is a historic day in the history of this Republic — in the way that the election of Adolf Hitler as Chancellor of Germany was a historic day in the history of that republic: the day when radicals took over the heights of electoral politics, despite a predominantly moderate public. Americans are now presented with two alternative radical futures for society: black-dominated or female-dominated.
+
Conservative white people will have to decide which they hate more, just stay home — or get out their guns and shoot the people who have brought us to such a pass.
+
Republican thinking was apparently that racist white people have been eager to declare women a "minority" in order to evade "affirmative action" that was intended to benefit blacks, Hispanics, Indians, and other genuinely disadvantaged minorities. This reclassification and reconceptualization of "minority" empowered white people to give jobs to white women and pretend that they were somehow in conformity with both the letter and the spirit of equal-opportunity legislation. They could hire their wives and dauters, yet pretend that they were hiring "minorities". The Invisible Hand apparently concluded that every white man has female relatives but few have black relatives, so they will accept being forced to choose Radical Feminism over black domination, in the hope that McCain doesn't die during his Presidency.
+
What happens if McCain is elected by those crypto-racists who pretend to be open-minded in hiring their dauters, if some Radical Feminist shoots John McCain in order single-handedly to create the first female President of the United States? Do the white men who are perfectly happy to pretend to be open-minded in putting a woman into the Vice Presidency quietly sit by and take the rise, from assassination, of a woman to the Presidency without doing a thing about it? Or do they get out their guns and kill her in response? If Nancy Pelosi is still Speaker of the House, they will have to kill her too, because unless the assassins wait for the Vice Presidency to be filled by operation of the 25th Amendment, the Speaker of the House becomes President on the death of the President.
+
Americans must decide whether to be radicalized by the stupefying choices of the major parties and their new politics that turns society on its head, or to be radicalized into abandoning electoral democracy and voting by bullet. Or we can vote for Ralph Nader, even tho on one crucial social-policy issue, abortion, the current Nader campaign is silent. (In 2004, he said: "This is something that should be privately decided with the family, woman, all the other private factors of it, but we should work toward preventing the necessity of abortion.")
+
One thing is plain: the United States of August 29, 2008 is not the United States of August 28, 2008 or any other date in history. And a traditionalist, moderate populace that has been unhappy with what has been happening in the past eight years and more, which despises Congress (the House of Representatives of which is dominated by a woman) even more than the radical-conservative-dominated White House, is left with the worst choice they have ever been presented with: black domination or female domination.
+
For my part, I am reduced to voting for Nader/Gonzalez in the Presidential contest. I might have voted for Obama before he started selling out basic principles in his "move to the center", which showed him to have absolutely no principles — Barack the Faithless. But when I discovered that Obama never heard of an abortion he didn't like, it became impossible for me even to think of voting for him. The Democrats really do have to stop being the party of childslauter.
+
I need not vote at all in the House of Representatives race, because in my area it is essentially not contested but an automatic Democratic win. As for the Senate, I definitely won't vote for the Democrat, Frank Lautenberg, an ancient, Zionist Jew. Alas, I can't vote for the Republican either, because he too is Jewish! and Zionist! That is to say that 8 million preonderantly Christian New Jerseyans have as their choice for United States Senate, Zionist Jew A or Zionist Jew B. Our elections are about as real nowadays as those for Saddam Hussein or Fidel Castro used to be. How did the major parties become so completely unrepresentative of the people? Plainly the primary system, which multiplies the power of tiny minorities, has much to do with it. We've got to abolish the primary system.
+
I fear that people at the highest levels of society, whose power is the result of the utterly unrepresentative nature of our present political system, are completely out of touch with the real United States. They appear to have no understanding nor respect for what this country really is. They give us "choices" we don't want, over and over, and now they are giving us a choice between radical ticket A and radical ticket B. What are we to do?
+
I fear that a population that is substantially disenfranchised and presented with utterly unacceptable choices may fall into an unpleasant pattern of the past, in which assassination determines our politics. We have had a number of major assassinations in the past (do I really need to list them?), and would like to believe that it can't happen again. It can. There are 200 million guns in the United States, and many million more deadly weapons here and abroad. How, exactly, do you think the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and other Islamists around the world are going to react to the rise of a woman to the position of commander-in-chief of the "Crusader" armies stationed in Moslem countries?
+
To those who think it impossible that John McCain will be killed by female assassins, I have only two things to say to you: Squeaky Fromme and Sara Jane Moore.
+
(The current U.S. military death toll in Iraq, according to the website "Iraq Coalition Casualties", is 4,150 — for Israel.)
