We are at a critical time in our nation’s history. If we open the door to socialized medicine here in the United States, it will be almost impossible to recover from that blow. In 1964, Ronald Reagan said as he concluded his famous speech warning of the dangers posed by totalitarian governments around the world:
We’ll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we’ll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.
If we turn this country into a socialist nation, we will have gone down that path. We still have a chance to save ourselves, but we are in a precarious position right now. Aiding us in this battle is an unlikely and an unwitting hero: Ralph Nader. Mr. Nader made a name for himself decades ago as a passionate consumer advocate. He crusaded against products that he felt were harmful to the general public. In recent years, he has campaigned for the office of President of the United States several times. He runs on a platform that is so far to the extreme left that it makes the Obama administration look downright reasonable. (I seem to recall hearing him suggest that the government should nationalize – that is, steal – the largest 100 corporations in America.)
Nader saved us from Gore
Most notably, Ralph Nader ran as the nominee of the Green Party in 2000. In the state of Florida, George W. Bush won the vote in that state over Al Gore by a margin of 537 votes (Yes! Yes, he did!). Ralph Nader received a tiny percentage of the vote – only 1.63%. That’s not very much at all. However, it does amount to 97,488 votes. There is no question in my mind that the presence of Ralph Nader on that (oh, so confusing) ballot prevented Al Gore from winning the state of Florida. There is almost nobody who voted for Nader who would have voted for Bush. Even if most of the Nader voters had stayed home, surely at least 1% of them would have still voted. And they would have cast their votes for Gore.
By running for President in 2000, Ralph Nader saved our country from an Al Gore presidency. Gore’s advocacy for radical extreme environmental policies could have been a disaster. (President Obama is attempting to implement those same policies now, but that is a discussion for another time.) The watermelon (remember: green on the outside, red on the inside) environmentalists are really just using their issues as a cover for wealth redistribution.
His campaign is still helping us today
By preventing a Gore victory in 2000, Nader did our nation yet another service that is benefitting us right now. Since Gore’s running mate, Senator Joseph Lieberman, did not become the Vice President, he remains in the U. S. Senate to this day. He is one of the very few senators on the left side of the aisle who is standing up and fighting this so called “public option” in the health care bill. (Despite his official label as an Independent, his is still in reality a Democrat.) If it were not for him, the advocates of socialized medicine in our government would have a much easier time.
We may still lose this battle and find ourselves trying to explain to our grandchildren how it is that we got stuck on this road “into a thousand years of darkness”. But right now, people like Senator Joe Lieberman are still giving us a fighting chance!
