Faith in Elections = Peaceful Transitions

Yesterday Rush Limbaugh said he no longer had faith in our elections.

He was talking about the Franken/Coleman Senate race in which mysteriously "found" ballots 100% of which, by some statistically impossible miracle, are for Franken, will be added to the recount.

If Franken is allowed to steal the election with clearly ineligible "miraculously found" ballots, just like Christine Gregoire did in Washington State Governor's race in 2005, and in the face of massive voter fraud by ACORN, it won't be long before none of us has faith in our elections anymore.

Without faith in elections, government is not seen as legitimate. Illegitimate government rules, then, not by consent of the governed, but as usurper, and it becomes itself a cause of revolt, rebellion, insurection, and civil war.

Voluntary acceptance of our peaceful transfer of power, of which we are so proud in the United States depends on our faith that elections are legitimate, fair, honest, and uncorrupted. When that faith is broken, so will be the peace.

  1. And, as with Gregoire, they will keep doing recount after recount until Franken wins and then they will pronounce that this recount is the right one and it will be over.

  2. Agreed. And the moment it happens, we can officially say we live in a Banana Republic, where elections are rigged, and we the people are officially excluded from government.

    And...all bets are off.

    They only get my loyalty if they are loyal to my Constitution. If they are not, they are usurpers.

    And deserve what all usurpers deserve.
