Democrats swept all five statewide offices in Virginia.... both Senate seats,  governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general wth todays announcement that the Democrat won the attorney general office by 164 votes. A recount could change that but happy days are here again.

First time in 40 years that all 5 seats are held by Democrats. Happy Times Are Here Again!!!!!

Yes, Virginia… it surely is Happy Time for the grasshoppers.  But, winter will absolutely come… and the ever increasing mass of grasshoppers will be unsupportable by the ants. As the proportion of ants to grasshoppers gets smaller, there comes a point where there is no time… no energy… for happiness.  Throughout the history of civilizations, we have read this story.  That is, of course, if one is the least bit interested in history.

Our forefathers, seeing the propensity of the masses for declaring dominance over the minority, designed a constitutional republic with three branches – Legislative, Executive, and Judicial… these to check and balance each other. The Legislative branch had two houses – one to represent the people (and their taxes) and one to represent the governments of the several states.

So we find that the dynamics of politics and greed have corrupted The Constitution such that it is

a) indecipherable to the citizens… and legislators… and the administrators…and the judges.
b) The legislators speedily pass politically expedient laws that they have neither read nor understand.
c) The president and his administration, co-opting authority, dice and slice laws to suit political agendas to the immediate detriment of the minority politic… and eventually to the demise of all citizens regardless of political affiliation, and 
d) Judges become political mouthpieces of the party in power and bend the founding document to support the politics in vogue.

If reason does not soon take hold… if honorable men do nothing… if the founding document is not revisited… then “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” will be another meaningless phrase.  The success of the “Grand Experiment” will be squandered and broken in the cheatin’ arms of greed and apathy... and indolent ignorance.

Most of my growing days were spent in Virginia… I love the Commonwealth.  Its demographics have changed with the swelling of the government and entitlement class.


Let us hope that the 67 have courage and allegiance. 

It is sad that so many are ignorant of history and philosophy and literature… for the anguish will come… as surely as it has to Detroit, MI and Stockton, CA and six others. Calls will ring out for “too big to fail” government bail-out.  It won’t resolve. Eventually the productive cannot support the indolent class.
