BY GEORGE, I THINK THEY'VE GOT IT! CONSERVATIVES FINALLY HAVE PASSION & IT'S ABOUT TIME...
Vol. I | Issue. 89 | May 12, 2022
Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that our sons and our grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty.
- Daniel Burnham
Daniel Hudson Burnham (1846-1912) was one of America’s Greatest Architects and unquestionably its most influential urban planner. Burnham was the "Director of Works" for the 1892-93 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago which came to be known as the “White City”. The Columbian Exposition was effectively a coming-out party of sorts designed to show the world that the city had risen from the ashes of the 1871 conflagration caused by Mrs. Oleary’s Cow kicking over a lantern. Some say that the Milk Cow’s reputation was smeared due to anti-Irish prejudice, but we will never know the true story… The point is that the City was burned to the ground and rebuilt into a great bustling Metropolis in two decades.
Chicago became "Hog Butcher to the World", as celebrated by Carl Sandburg in his "City of Big Shoulders", and then became known as the “Windy City” and the “Second City”. The origins of both of those nicknames have been widely misunderstood for over a century. The enduring belief, until Chicago was overtaken by the City of Angels as America’s second-most populous city, was that "Second City" meant it was America’s second-largest city in population….WRONG.
The "Second City" moniker derived from the fact that Chicago was rebuilt after the Chicago Fire… The SECOND VERSION of itself.
My favorite though is the "Windy City" nickname. The accuracy of that one relates to the power of human delusion based upon the power of suggestion. The fact is that Chicago is about the 20th Windiest City in America, but ask anyone who has been there in the winter, even if they come from Minneapolis, and they will invariably tell you: “Yeah… Chicago is the windiest. I was standing on the corner and got blown 5000 feet into Lake Michigan!” Chicago definitely has its wind, but not more than the other 19 or so cities on the list ahead of it.
The name was given to the City of Chicago due to the promotional puffery of Chicago Civic Boosters and Windbag Politicians promoting the 1893 Exposition to the World. They had to, otherwise, who would have come to a burnt-out cow town on the prairie from all points of the Globe? The answer is NOBODY.
Now back to the Burnam quote: "Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood”. Burnam was right…
For the first time in decades, Conservatives have issues that they are passionate about because their blood has been stirred. These issues are the ones that impact American families and the American future on a daily basis.
The Republican Party is the electoral instrument by and through which conservatives are able to give influence to their voice. Tragically, Conservatives and those Americans who understand the beauty and value of The American Way have lost the American culture and along with it, the hearts and minds of generations who have been taught by the Left for decades to hate their own country.
Why? Because until now, the Republican Party made nothing but simple plans, all related to "checkbook issues", but Americans do not live by bread alone (now most can’t afford it anyway Joe). Republicans for decades have neglected the destructive cultural path that has been poisoning the American mind with no initiative to reverse that trend.
But finally, Conservatives and middle of the road Americans who have been politically indifferent, and vote occasionally or not at all, have real skin in the game. If you tell a voter that if the Democrats win your taxes will go up another $600 per year, the lazy or indifferent voter may or may not vote. That same voter who finally realizes that the Left is in the process of destroying their family and their country will not only vote, they will likely show up at a school board meeting, write their congressman and become involved.
What are those issues that have become so personal?
Local Schools inculcate their young children with the Radical Left’s Sex Education and Sexual Identity agenda. How do they find all these perverts to address such issues with young children? Your guess is as good as mine…
Identity politics in the Workplace, Colleges, and Universities along with the denial of opportunity, unless you are a member of a preferred group, regardless of qualification.
Open Borders and the allowing of unlimited numbers of illegal aliens into the United States.
The destruction of all institutions that are vital to our national security; The military being the most obvious, through “wokeness”, diversity completely unrelated to military performance, etc.
The callous indifference to the suffering of average families by the Democrat Industrial Complex regarding record inflation.
Forgiveness of Student Loans; Placing the burden and fundamental unfairness of paying them back on taxpayers.
The Democrat’s Advocacy for our enemies, most obviously those who have vowed to destroy our greatest ally, Israel. (see HAHIs)
The list of issues that will stroke the passions of Voters in November is long, but I have a big prediction: There is a major shift coming.
'It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.' — Yogi Berra
Emes: November will be a Republican rout…
Question to Emes: How about Roe v Wade Emes?
Emes: How ‘bout it???
Not only will the Republicans sweep the November elections, but there will be record numbers of hard-working Hispanic and African American Voters who will leave the Democrat Plantation and change America. Who knows, there may even be a few members of the Jewish community who will finally stop supporting the Democrat Party that openly hates Israel and tolerates antisemitism on a daily basis.
Why?
Because Conservatives and swing voters now realize that they have something to be passionate about, and it's not just taxes! America, keep your checkbooks handy, but more importantly… Reclaim your passion and restore the American Way!
