Something has been bugging me since the latest election, and I just can't shake it…SOOO, I decided to share it.
When a tree-hugging liberal wins the popular vote but loses the electoral votes, and therefore loses the presidential election (perfectly constitutional), libs whine and cry about the "popular vote." But, when the “popular vote” is inconsistent with the liberal agenda, the libs do a complete 180 and implement any tack they can to force their minority opinion on the American people.
I hate hypocrisy.
I am so sick and tired of hearing how GW Bush "stole" the 2000 presidential election. I mean really…you just can't "win" when it comes to competing with liberals. They argue that, "Al Gore actually won the popular vote," and that Bush's presidency was an illegal farce. Apparently the libtards were asleep in junior high social studies the day the Electoral College was explained. Had they been paying attention, maybe the libs would’ve realized the legality of it all.
Here's how it works. Our forefathers (I will refer to as “fo-pops”) were genius enough to foresee largely populated states having too much control in the "republic" (not democracy) they were establishing, which is why the Senate was formed: to give equal representation to each state, regardless of population. This also explains why no bill can pass through Congress without Senatorial approval. This measure helps to level out the playing field. Also, our crafty fo-pops originally gave the power of electing our prez to the Legislature, not the people (Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution). But in 1804, the 12th amendment to the U.S. Constitution created the Electoral College (not electorial as some erroneously say), because the idea of the "elite" members of Congress choosing our prez seemed to be a tough pill to swallow for some folks. This change not only allowed, but insisted that each state appoint electorates outside of the Legislature to elect our Commander-in-Chief; with the number of electorates being determined by a state's total number of representatives and senators. Plus, the popular vote winner of each state would receive ALL of the votes from that state's electorates. Ergo, each state is able to maintain its independence, and less populated states can actually influence the outcome of a presidential election.
Please understand, our fo-pops were definitely not stupid. You have to remember, Europeans immigrated to the New World because they had no say in their respective governments, which were mostly monarchial at that time. So, after years of oppression and control from the British government, the fo-pops understood the benefit of self-governing– "…for the people, BY THE PEOPLE…" The last thing they wanted was to fight a grueling Revolutionary War, and then form another oppressive dictatorship. Therefore, they opted to establish a republic. This way, each state could maintain a sense of independence, yet enjoy the solidarity of the federal government, which, by the way, was intended primarily for national defense.
But here is what really gets my goat (so to speak). When it comes to the issues, libs always want to impose their views on the majority, even (let me repeat) EVEN after the votes are cast and the libtards lose; we witnessed this with the abortion issue. Although the "popular vote" was against abortion, the libs got the Supreme Court to overturn the will of the American people by judicial fiat. This is a prime example of why Jefferson complained that the Supreme Court was effectively an "Oligarchy." Another example of liberal imposition is Prop 8 in California. The folks of this infamously liberal state voted to ban gay marriage. Great! The people spoke. But guess what…the wacko libtards once again ran to the courts, blubbering like a daycare full of Bel Air brats, in order to impose their will on the majority. If that weren’t enough, they have begun utilizing personal attacks along with other, less benign, intimidation tactics to overturn Prop 8.
To sum it up, our government is a Republic. However, an Oligarchy seems to better serve the cry-baby liberal agenda. Even still, some people think we live under a Democracy. But you know, I believe the government that would best suit the liberals’ “say one thing, do another, and to hell with it: do whatever it takes” tactics would be most accurately categorized as a “Hypocracy.”
