\u201cYou know what my biggest fear is?\u201d our host asked. \u201cIt\u2019s not really Obama, for what he\u2019s done is to accelerate what the liberals have been slowly doing for decades \u2013 so quickly that their socialism is obvious to everyone. Which means the solution is obvious to everyone. My biggest fear is that voters will give Republicans the power to repair America on November 2nd \u2013 and the Republicans won\u2019t have the courage to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
All I could respond with was \u201cOuch,\u201d to shake my head and sigh. I mentioned an email I just got from a friend of many years in Las Vegas. He\u2019s a very successful banker and businessman who knows everyone in Republican politics in Nevada \u2013 and I had asked his opinion of how Sharron Angle might possibly beat Harry Reid. The reply I got back shocked me. He will do nothing to help her, he said, as she is too \u201cextreme.\u201d<\/p>\n
Why is she considered extreme? our host asked, not on intimate terms with Nevada primary elections. Because she wants a government restricted to constitutional activities, I replied, which means, for example, eliminating such things as the Department of Education and the Environmental Protection Agency.<\/p>\n
Our host leaned over the table to look at me as if his eyes were lasers. \u201cJack, you need to explain something to your friend. You need to explain something to America and all those Congressmen you know. Amputate or die. That\u2019s the choice America has right now. That\u2019s the choice Republicans will have after November 2nd, because they\u2019re the only surgeons around who can do the surgery.\u201d\u00a0 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Everyone was quiet so he continued. \u201cGangrene will kill you. If you don\u2019t amputate a finger or other limb that\u2019s gangrenous, it will spread bacterially [viaClostridium perfringens], and you will die. Look at these unconstitutional growths of government on the body public as gangrenous infections that have to be amputated for the body to continue living.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
