The Flight 93 Election

CAIRCO doesn't endorse political candidates, but we assuredly support political positions in support of immigration law enforcement and the betterment of the American people. This election cycle, the differences between the key presential candidates could not be more strking.

I've received a few emails along the lines of: "I agree with Trumps immigration plans 100% but I can't vote for him!!! He is a lunatic in so many ways...", and "Hillary is an insane globalist...".

Well, ok. If you believe a candidate is not rational, you certainly should not vote for him (or her). Unfortunately in this election cycle, a non-vote for one candidate is a de facto vote for the opposing candidate.

It's important to realize that this election is not about which political variant of the UniParty will get to enact the same policies for another four years. This election transcends issues of personality, which in the past have served as a distraction to the overarching agenda of the Davos class elites.

This election, for a change, is about the very essence of the Republic. The importance of this election - this turning point - is remarkably well stated in the somewhat lengthy article:

The Flight 93 Election, by Publius Decius Mus,The Claremont Institute, September 5, 2016:

2016 is the Flight 93 election: charge the cockpit or you die. You may die anyway. You—or the leader of your party—may make it into the cockpit and not know how to fly or land the plane. There are no guarantees...

Only three questions matter. First, how bad are things really? Second, what do we do right now? Third, what should we do for the long term?...

All of Trump’s 16 Republican competitors would have ensured more of the same—as will the election of Hillary Clinton. That would be bad enough. But at least Republicans are merely reactive when it comes to wholesale cultural and political change. Their “opposition” may be in all cases ineffectual and often indistinguishable from support. But they don’t dream up inanities like 32 “genders,” elective bathrooms, single-payer, Iran sycophancy, “Islamophobia,” and Black Lives Matter. They merely help ratify them.

A Hillary presidency will be pedal-to-the-metal on the entire Progressive-left agenda, plus items few of us have yet imagined in our darkest moments. Nor is even that the worst. It will be coupled with a level of vindictive persecution against resistance and dissent hitherto seen in the supposedly liberal West only in the most “advanced” Scandinavian countries and the most leftist corners of Germany and England. We see this already in the censorship practiced by the Davoisie’s social media enablers; in the shameless propaganda tidal wave of the mainstream media; and in the personal destruction campaigns—operated through the former and aided by the latter—of the Social Justice Warriors. We see it in Obama’s flagrant use of the IRS to torment political opponents, the gaslighting denial by the media, and the collective shrug by everyone else...

...the deck is stacked overwhelmingly against us. I will mention but three ways. First, the opinion-making elements—the universities and the media above all—are wholly corrupt and wholly opposed to everything we want, and increasingly even to our existence...

Second, our Washington Generals self-handicap and self-censor to an absurd degree. Lenin is supposed to have said that “the best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.” But with an opposition like ours, why bother? Our “leaders” and “dissenters” bend over backward to play by the self-sabotaging rules the Left sets for them...

Third and most important, the ceaseless importation of Third World foreigners with no tradition of, taste for, or experience in liberty means that the electorate grows more left, more Democratic, less Republican, less republican, and less traditionally American with every cycle...

This is insane. This is the mark of a party, a society, a country, a people, a civilization that wants to die. Trump, alone among candidates for high office in this or in the last seven (at least) cycles, has stood up to say: I want to live. I want my party to live. I want my country to live. I want my people to live. I want to end the insanity...

Read the article. It's enlightening.
