The Post-Election Aftermath

Even if control of both Congress and the White House pass to the Republican Party in January 2013—and this outcome is far from certain—it might not be time to pop open the champagne. A number of existential issues face the country, challenges that would be daunting if the nation were united and sober, let alone in its current fractured and dumbed-down condition.

An orderly transfer of power from the Obama regime to its successor is by no means assured. Several long weeks separate the election from the inauguration—plenty of time for organized mayhem. And mayhem it will be. The entire victimary establishment, shrieking their jeremiads about evil racist Americans who just rejected the messiah-of-color, rises up as one. Riots break out in the major cities, as the Negro rage carefully nurtured by Holder and his minions explodes in anti-white violence that makes the 1960s look like a picnic.

Initially, state and local authorities utilize the usual tactics: tear gas and other non-lethal methods; calling on all sides for calm; assurances of greater attention to the “systemic” and “structural” causes of poverty; promises of money.

To no avail. As the riots spread, the Occupy movement jumps into the melee, as do the civil-service unions, the Greens, La Raza; in short, the full panoply of Leftist subversion. The old-line media stokes the fire, blaming capitalism, racism, Bush, Republican heartlessness, etc.

Inevitably, some person targeted in the riots takes matters into his own hands and shoots several of the perpetrators. The act becomes a cause célèbre, as the nation polarizes into pro and con camps. Pressure from the federal government for punishment is overwhelming. Lame duck B. Hussein calls a press conference in which he decries violence on the part of “gun nuts” and “vigilantes,” peppering his speech with references to the days of lynching. He threatens to move troops into the offending city unless justice is dispensed. The local authorities back down, and the riots worsen.

This is the scene as Mitt Romney takes the oath of office.

To make matters worse:

• The European Union is in the advanced stages of collapse. Blacks and Muslims, seize the opportunity to protest “racism” and “fascism.” Huge swaths of London, Manchester, Marseilles, and Rotterdam go up in flames.
• Islamic regimes consolidate power across the Middle East. The old structure of workable despotisms put in place by Britain and France after the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1917 finally becomes extinct.
• The engines of economic growth, both human and material, are leaving the United States at an alarming rate. Seemingly overnight, Singapore replaces New York and London as the world’s financial capital.
• China, Russia, India, and Brazil announce a new, gold-backed basket of currencies that henceforth replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency
• State and municipal bankruptcies in the U.S. become so commonplace that they are no longer considered front-page news
• Money for the welfare state dries up. The victimary coalition threatens repercussions even worse than the ongoing riots.
• High levels of unemployment and inflation, along with shortages of raw materials, plague the country

We now arrive at the big question: Does Romney, together with his Congressional allies, put the house in order? In other words, does he roll back the debt, dismantle the onerous regulatory regime, open up domestic sources of energy, end affirmative action and Diversity, close the immigration spigot, and crush the hooligans that have seized de facto control of most urban areas?

Highly unlikely. Establishment Republicans in the Romney mold, the so-called RINOs, have been pretending for decades that the old days of bipartisanship and moderation still have traction. In 1990, this approach was questionable. In 2000, pathetic. In early 2013, not even an option. The modern ultra-democratic liberal welfare state, based on the totalitarian drive to level society, must either be taken to its logical conclusion or crushed. Either slavery or liberty will reign, and everyone knows it.

The most likely outcome is that Romney & Co. will equivocate in the face of the conflagration, clutching the old rule book until it is shredded in their hands. The worst excesses of Multiculturalism, Global Warming, and the welfare state will be curtailed, but without challenging the core principles. Business conditions will improve slightly through superficial relief, such as tax cuts. The underlying causes of human and capital flight, however, will be ignored. Enforcement of immigration law will be beefed up, but without questioning the wisdom of continued immigration. The military will continue to be homosexualized and feminized, but with further outrages held in check. Growth of government will be halted but not reversed.

In short, business as usual. Implementation of real solutions is almost unthinkable in the political constellation of the contemporary West. The RINO approach can be expected to continue until events reach their natural cataclysmic terminus. At that point, someone’s hand will be forced, and decisive action will occur. This someone may or may not be positioned within the established leadership.

Strange as it may seem, only then is there room for cautious optimism. For only a true crisis can stimulate the dismantling of the socialist edifice. It may indeed happen, and sooner than we think. Removing the Manchurian Candidate from the White House is but a prelude to the real struggle, one that will determine our fate for generations to come.
