ELECTION DAY


Now begins that strangest span of hours in political punditry, in which attempts to divine the outcome by reading the tea leaves of early voting, and the chicken bones of polling-place anecdotes, intensify despite the fact that we’ll know the actual outcome tonight. Maybe. - John Hayward/Human Events @Doc_o

The dirty little secret of Big Government politics is that for all the wealth the Ruling Class has taken, and all the power they have tucked away in the vaults of bureaucracy, they’re still afraid of us. They’ve made great progress toward subduing us, and redefining what we’re allowed to do for ourselves, or even vote upon… but they haven’t achieved total victory yet. You can see it in their eyes when they’re nervous, hear it in the things they blurt out when elections aren’t going their way, and they unleash their anger and contempt on those who vote against them. One election makes them nervous. If you want to see them terrified, win two. Then you’ll get to see despair go to work on them for a change.
