Kathy Hochul Is A Deceiver

Dec 23, 2024

Feigning “honor for the talents, the wisdom and the genius of the Founding Fathers,”[1] Kathy Hochul used her speech in Albany at New York’s Electoral College vote to foment distrust for the U.S. Constitution when she “called for an end of the Electoral College.”[2] Surreptitiously speaking, she made the illicit argument that “historians tell us that the Electoral College was the result of compromise devised by our Founders in search of a consensus.”[3]

Of course, she failed to tell her audience which historians she consulted. If she had actually cracked open a copy of The Federalist Papers, she might have told a different story. Hamilton exuberantly explains that the President’s “mode of appointment” was actually as close to “perfect”[4] as one could possibly get. “If the manner of it be not perfect,” he boasted, “it is at least excellent.”[5] Does this sound like a Founder in search of a “compromise” in order to get something through the Constitutional Convention?

Hamilton also noted that it was “almost the only part” of the Constitution that had “escaped without severe censure” and that it had received a “mark of approbation from its opponents.”[6] One of the “most plausible” of those approvals, he bragged, which “appeared in print”, actually went on to “admit” that “the election of the President is pretty well guarded.”[7] Again, I have to ask, does Hamilton’s version of history sound anything like Kathy Hochul’s description?

Next, she continued her assault on the Framers asserting that they gave us a Constitution which contained “provisions that we consider abhorrent such as women and people of color being denied the fundamental right in a democracy the right to vote.”[8] She continued her assault by claiming that the Constitution also allows the “less populated states [to] have outsize influence,” because “the votes of their residents count more than the residents of a state like New York.”[9]

Deception is the lifeblood of politics, and Kathy’s deceit was clearly meant to sway the low information portion of the population to her way of thinking. First of all, Madison was perfectly clear that the Constitution did NOT create “a democracy” as Kathy claimed but that it was “strictly republican.”[10]

Secondly, the Constitution does not give “less populated states . . . outsize influence,” but it’s actually the rule by the majority that gives “outsize influence” to the densely populated areas to control those living in fly over country.

The Republican form of government created by our Constitution was designed to keep the more densely populated states from controlling and exploiting the smaller ones. Madison explained it this way: “the federal government will owe its existence more or less to the favor of [all] the State governments and must consequently feel a dependence . . . towards them”[11] and not on just a few big states.

Thirdly, the Constitution did not contain any provision that denied anyone the right to vote, as Kathy claimed, because the Constitution created a Republic and not “a democracy.” Under the Constitution, for example, there is no popular vote for president even allowed despite the unconstitutional popular elections that take place today.

Unfortunately, conservatives have been participating in this unconstitutional activity just like the lefties for far too long.

The President is supposed to be elected by independent members of the Electoral College whose loyalty is to the state and not to a political party. When controlled by the 51% majority of a general popular election as it operates today, they lose their loyalty to their state and become a mere rubber stamp for the political party.

Hamilton explained that Electors were “to assemble and vote in . . . [a] detached and divided situation.”[12] This secluded station was meant to keep them from the “tumult and disorder” of democratic elections and to provide “an effectual security against [the] mischief” that would otherwise take place in those elections.[13] In other words, they understood that democratic elections invite turbulence and fraud.

Originally, senators were also to be appointed by the individual state legislatures and not by the general popular vote of the state, which is how it operates today. As with the Electoral College, this practice breeds loyalty for the political party and not the state. Under our current democratic election process, the states have been replaced by the political parties, and the individual is no longer protected but becomes subject to the tyranny of the majority.

The only time individual citizens were actually allowed to vote under the Constitution was for a member of the House of Representatives. These elections, however, were compartmentalized into small districts and were not subject to a statewide general election. As such, everyone’s vote would not only count the same in those small districts, but it would also keep political parties at bay.

The times, places and manner for holding these elections for the House was to be “prescribed in each State.”[14] As such, there were “no abhorrent provisions” in the Constitution that denied anyone the right to vote as Kathy deceptively argued.

Next, Kathy described what she termed as “the worst case scenario” under our Constitution where “a person can become president of the United States even if he or she did not win the popular vote.”[15] To repeat myself, if we were actually following the Constitution this “worst case scenario” could never happen because there is NO popular vote for the President under the Constitution. Unlike Kathy and so many on the Left, the Framers were only interested in merit, not popularity, and in keeping control of D.C. in the hands of the states.

“The process of election,” Hamilton explained, “affords a moral certainty, that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications.”[16] The Framers knew that Kathy’s democratic “worst case scenario” would only produce a President with “Talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity”[17] much like the presidents we’ve had for a very long time now. Can anyone seriously argue that Barry and Bill were not elected because of the affinity for the “little arts of popularity?” How about Joe and W? Were they eminently qualified? Accusations of election fraud and theft have been with us since we started these democratic elections.

Kathy then went on to argue that “the Electoral College does not contribute to the overriding objective set forth in our great constitution.”[18] She then claimed that this “overriding objective” can only happen, if all of the “votes count equally.”[19] Her “overriding objective” is called rule by the majority, which is nothing more than rule by tyrants.

If you enjoyed the tyranny imposed on you by the government during the scamdemic, then you’ll agree with Kathy’s push for majority rule. It was the majority who tried to force you to take their poisonous clot shots, close your businesses, prevent you from worshiping as you saw fit, and it was the majority who wanted to put you in jail for refusing to go along with their lust for power and control.

Kathy’s majority rule is deceptive because everyone believes that their vote counts but that is an illusion! Madison put it this way – “The countenance of the government may become more democratic, but the soul that animates it will be more oligarchic.”[20]

Kathy concluded with this statement — “The popular vote should prevail. It’s time to amend the Constitution and relegate the institution of the Electoral College to the history books.”[21] The deception she is peddling is that the “popular vote” makes us equal and free. When casting a vote for one of two predetermined establishment candidates, whose loyalties lie with the party and not the state, does not a free citizen make.

Apparently, her call to disband the Electoral College was not an isolated incident. According to one article, a group of democrats have already introduced legislation aimed at destroying the Electoral College.[22] According to the article, the proponents of the measure claimed that “No one’s vote should count for more based on where they live.”[23] The article also referenced the fact that President Trump has attacked the Electoral College with some of his social media posts in the past.[24]

Star Wars icon, Mark Hamill, even entered into the fray. His knowledge and understanding of all things constitutional, like Kathy’s, is severally lacking. He claimed in a recent podcast that the Electoral College “is the remnants of slave days when they were trying to, you know, proportion the amount of votes with, you know, how many slaves you owned.”[25] As I’ve discussed above, the Electoral College was instituted to appoint someone who is eminently qualified to be President and to help the states keep control over D.C. It had nothing to do with slaves.

It is always surprising to learn how little conservatives actually know about our Constitution. It is also surprising to learn how many have fallen prey to the democracy deception and continue to participate in their unconstitutional, freedom-destroying popular elections. Conservatives have been played by the whole democracy deception. By participating in a democratically run presidential election, the participants believe they are in control when, in fact, it is the political parties and their oligarchies that control everything.

Participation in those elections has actually promoted the legitimacy of the democracy deception to the point where no one can see through the fog. More importantly, by continuing to participate in those elections, conservatives have actually lost the moral high ground. As such, there can be no claim made by conservatives against the arguments that Kathy and her cohorts are now making – everyone’s vote must count the same!

Under a democracy, weighted votes, like we find under the current corrupted Electoral College system, are simply illegal. When you participate in their democracy, you become subject to their rules. You lose the higher ground because you simply cannot argue that your vote should count more based on where you live. It’s a losing proposition.

In fact, it is only a matter of time before the Left actually files a lawsuit challenging the Electoral College as being unconstitutional because it violates their “one person one vote”[26] principle. Everyone’s vote must count the same in a democracy. Eventually, they are going to win that lawsuit, and then you will see the floodgates for tyranny open wide.

We are all being led along like lemmings to the death of our Republic with their democratic deceptions. Do not be fooled into believing that President Trump is going to save us because he is blinded by the democracy deception as well. He’s a businessman and NOT a serious constitutionalist. For the record, neither are Musk nor Vivek for that matter. None of them understand the real differences between our Constitutional Republic and their democracy, and while we’re at it, neither do any of the talking heads get it as well.

The Constitution was designed to protect the individual from the tyranny of the majority, which is exactly what Kathy Hochul and the rest of the democratic deceivers want. They want the majority to rule your life just like it did during the scamdemic because they are able to control the majority through fraud, deception and propaganda. Yet, under the Constitution, the individual was protected because the individual states were sovereign, and the states controlled the federal government NOT the political parties as they do now.

The call for a complete removal of the Electoral College is a call for the final end to our Constitutional Republic. It’s time to wake up conservatives and to do our duty.
