The Art of War: Absentee Voting As A Silent, Effectual Force Against the Radical Left

Silence is a source of great strength.

~~Lao Tzu

The Radical Left has made their position sure. They are at War. The Art of Civility is no longer their pursuit. In fact, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Left's Delusional Champion and untested Commander, advised that all opposed to the Constitution reject outrightly every form of rightness or justness. Roused by her compatriot, CNN Fake News Anchor Christine Amanpour, Rebel Leader Clinton confided, "You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That's why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that's when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength." The bloodstained gauntlet has been dropped.

What Strength is understood by the Constitutional Right? According to Clinton and her minions, only the strength of chaos, threat, intimidation, and dominance gives an answer to the meritless and heartless reasonings of those that they deem enemies of the causes of brotherhood and equality. It is that strength that obstructs and defies the normalcy of electoral politics. Some persist that this is a New Democrat Party. Former attorney general Eric Holder reformed former first lady Michelle Obama’s slogan, “When they go low, we go high.” In stunning disagreement, Holder rephrases, “No, no, when they go low, we kick 'em. That’s what this new Democratic Party is about. ()" The political rebellion within their ranks has been completed. The renegades, sons and daughters of Marx, proclaim the absolute rule of a new party.

The Left will no longer, in secret or in the open, show restraint. In social media and the kindred press, they regale of their great regard for Communism, Socialism, and Marxism. Worse, yet, they show little or no restraint of their violent intent to gain electoral prominence. The Metropolitan Republican Club of New York was vandalized by the leftist hate group Antifa. In days of our youth, they would leave only the calling card of the activity. Yet, now, as emboldened as Guantanamo Bay Terrorists, Antifa graced social media with something less than veiled threats:

"While these atrocities persist unabated the Metropolitan Republican Club chose to invite a hipster fascist clown to dance for them, content to revel in their treachery against humanity. The Republican Party joined by their spineless partners in crime, the Democrats institute a policy of domestic and foreign terror felt the world over.

Our attack is merely a beginning. We are not passive, we are not civil, and we will not apologize. Those of good conscience and clear mind know this state of oppression cannot remain. The US fascist political system is one of the most savage institutions in history and we will combat it relentlessly until all are free of American barbarism".

They battle in mind, body, and soul against the corruption imagined of those that subscribe to the Constitutional Right. They will not accept another defeat. Certainly, they will never accept the uncivil reign of their oppressors. In this election season, the Nation is on the brink of open revolution. The American Voter is the target. Their Armageddon is the General Election on November 6, 2018, throughout the United States. The Radical Left is at War.

At what price will we cost our freedom? Will we fight, not with carnal weapons, but, the weapons bestowed us by our Living God--our natural rights. Expressed, shall we conquer our enemies both foreign and domestic the power of our vote. In sundry times, we chose the weapons of reason and debate in the hopes that civil compromise shall prevail resulting that all men, women, and children will be kept in a perfect peace and prosperity. While we argued against our nature and ourselves, yielding to civility, the Left has entrapped us in a vain exploration that provides them the cover of darkness as they seek the utter annihilation of their enemies, duly mentioned and named. The Elder Statesman Frederick Douglass, in his tremendous autobiography, "Life and Times of Frederick Douglass", asserted that no man born free or observed as free by nature is truly a citizen of this great nation--the United States--until he or she voted. Douglass wrote, "the liberties of the American people were dependent upon the ballot-box, the jury-box, and the cartridge-box; that without these no class of people could live and flourish in this country..." How shall we flourish if we yield the magnitude of the ballot in this Constitutional Republic? The Left pray that we are so dim of thought and practice.

We stubbornly yield our freedoms and liberties by submitting to the Fake News Media's "Poll-Centered" analysis or to the fears of violence or intimidation at the polls at the hands of domestic terrorists counterfeiting as impassioned advocates of the Leftist agenda. We must sharpen the wits of Americans that are targeted for disenfranchisement within the electoral process. Shall we act as if the war has an outcome that reveals our loss and desolation or shall we advance upon the valley of time and claim the victory that will preserve our union? In the Art of War, Sun Tzu spoke of five basic keys to victory.

He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.
He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.
He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.
He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.
He will win who the has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.

We must now "so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves". We must be willing to publicly admit that the Left is at War with Americans that believe in Christianity, Constitutionalism, Capitalism, Conservatism, and Individual Sovereignty. If we fail to admit that the fight persists then, we shall be most miserable in the results of our battle. We must know that there are many forces against those that seek to preserve the Constitution. There are the superior forces that use every facet of our culture to silently attack every institution within--individuals and families, neighborhoods, government, education, economics, and Faith. Their superior efforts infiltrate each of these cultural institutions and set forth their demise. There are, then, the inferior forces that choose violence and intimidation to force the surrender of a free people. We must invigorate and animate each and every person within our ranks to choose the strategies that will best result in the sustenance of a free nation. We must choose the best tools this election season to prevail at the ballot box. We must do so in the silence of that still quiet night that they seek to march us. The numbers are upon us to maintain the Senate and the House. The numbers are upon us that we shall advance the numbers in each rather than lose the majorities in each. How shall we? We shall win the ballot box.

Every conservative and individual voting Republican must indistinctly vote absentee from now until election day. Why encourage men and women to avoid the lines and potential mob threats of election day to vote absentee? Simply, it is the return on investment. It should be done not next week or the week after. It should be done now! It is time for America's Conservatives and those that vote as Republicans from the US Virgin Islands to Guam to arm themselves with this tool. The mission of each and every Conservative or Republican candidate should be to certify that every military member or American overseas, registered in their Voting District, receives a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA). John C. Fortier, Absentee and Early Voting: Trends, Promises, and Perils (2006), wrote:

"The first significant movement for absentee voting occurred during the Civil War. Large numbers of young men who were eligible to vote served in the armies of both the Union and the Confederacy, and, as the 1864 presidential elections approached, spirited legislative battles erupted in the state legislatures over the question of allowing soldiers stationed away from home to cast votes in their home states. In the Union states, some of the impetus behind these battles was partisan, with Republicans pushing for soldier-voting and Democrats opposing these efforts because the soldier vote was for Lincoln."

Those within the Party of Lincoln must be aware of our electoral heritage in absentee voting and how the Democrat Party has long advanced against it. The return of investment is sure. Gallop has determined that "For the entire adult population, 34% of veterans and those currently on active military service are Republican, compared to 26% of those who are not veterans, while 29% of veterans identify themselves as Democrats, compared to 38% of those who are not veterans. (Thirty-three percent of veterans are independents, compared to 29% of nonveterans.)" With anywhere between six and seven million US citizens and military personnel overseas, it behooves those running for office to encourage a great population of voters to choose their candidates by absentee ballot. That means reaching out to the US State Department for Overseas US Citizens and the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) for military personnel. The GOP, the Party of Lincoln, can not allow the perfect storm of Kavanaugh emotionalism to stir the soup of the popular vote. Reticent would it be for such folly to be pursued? In fact, every able-bodied man and woman in their District should be recruited to vote absentee in the 2018 General Election. Those that vote absentee can assure the safety and well-being of the elderly and the disabled in voting at the polls. Such guardians can mobilize others to protect and to vote on election day without the fear that their individual voice and vote would not be heard or counted.

Stephen Decatur Miller, former South Carolina Governor and US Senator, made the phrase popular during his 1830 Senatorial election campaign against tariffs. He warned, "There are three and only three ways to reform our Congressional legislation, familiarly called, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box". In this divisive age, when the jury box is razed by a Supreme Court Justice being convicted of false allegations in the court of public opinion and an American citizen of color and media mogul is inauthentically disparaged for sharing his personal opinion with the President of the United States, the ballot box--the glory of citizenship--is what remains to keep us from devolving into a nation consumed by the cartridge box. One of the greatest weapons in the arsenal of citizenship is the absentee ballot. America's Conservatives and those that vote as Republicans must embrace this powerful weapon of the ballot box and protect the nation from the "political bully" that is the New Democrat Party. Vote Red. Vote Absentee.
