The New "F" Word

Written by David DiCrescenzo on . Posted in Op-Ed

It seems like yesterday.  Eight long years ago I was witness to a local/regional case of blatant voter fraud that rattled me and so many others who were with me to the core.  You can read about that debacle here.

At that time, the man, Allen West, who was the focus of that political mayhem was someone who was and is well respected and admired by hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Americans.  Sadly, Congressman West did not prevail in that attempt at a second term of office, and we sat with our jaws on the floor as his victory was stolen from him and us by the same corrupt party that is now attempting to steal the re-election of arguably the greatest president in our nation’s history.

Just as with Congressman West, this president was and is immensely popular, had countless supporters at every event while their respective opponents had only handfuls show up at theirs.

As I write this, there is still good reason for hope that Donald J. Trump will prevail, however that is not in our hands; it never was, and it remains up to Him.  Yeah, THAT Him.  

We the People and our nation suffered greatly during the eight years of the previous administration and I believe, as many do, that we were given a final chance at maybe turning the “SS America” around under the leadership of the current president, and we blew it.  We blew it because we are no less unrepentant than we were before, in fact I believe we are even more so because things were starting to look good again and caution was thrown to the wind.  Therefore I believe it is very possible that God is finally done with us as a nation.  I certainly wouldn’t blame Him as we do not deserve His Grace.

I absolutely expect to hear the normal blah, blah, blah about this article.  Comments like “get over it, your guy lost”, “you’re some kind of a “religious” zealot” and all the rest.  

However, now as back when they stole the election from Allen West, and a number of others since to practice and prepare for this election, I will offer the same basic response as I did back then with the names and titles changed.  

Yes, I unashamedly admit that I fully support President Trump and he will always be my President, however, beyond that; I really want to believe in the system.  Like so many of us, I used to, but I haven’t since that debacle in 2012, and I never will again.  This was not an honest contest as anyone with half an ounce of common sense can clearly see.  If I believed that my preferred candidate lost legitimately, I would shake his hand and offer my condolences, and I would, however sadly, congratulate the victor.  However, this is not the case.  This entire election was a sham and a shame, and a stain on our history.

As a final note, ever since that original mess occurred, I have done everything I could to change the system.  I put my butt on the line, got involved and teamed up with several associates, and we spoke to lots of people at lots of events, we screamed from the roof tops, made calls, sent emails, and we got in front of party leaders and elected officials to plead our case.  I even wrote down some solutions, (which you can read here) that as a recent candidate for local office myself I now recognize probably wouldn’t work as well as I had initially imagined.  Suffice it to say, one learns a lot about the system when running for office.  

None of it mattered anyway since no one who can and could do anything is or was willing to do a damn thing more than offering lip service or canning a few SOEs over this critical issue in the non-election years.  It is only when elections are upon us or in the immediate aftermath that people get focused on it.

However, in the end and for what it’s worth, I, along with millions of others will never give up this fight for our nation.  The left has done everything in its power to shut this president down since before he was elected, which is interesting because most of those same people loved him before that, and they sure as hell accepted his money.

I have lost a few friends and may likely lose a few more along the way, which is fine because my country has to take precedence.  We are in a long term fight for our very survival, and it is long past time for men and women of courage and fortitude to stand their ground regardless of the cost.  

Enough is enough…!
