Wonderfully written, as usual.
Thanks! THAT WAS GREAT!
That's like saying "Oh well, we almost kept the barbarians from battering through the castle gates. We'll fart in their general direction as they sell us into slavery".
WE are the RESISTANCE!
Great Article!
Great article.
Obama = tyranny,socialism, evil, lies
Our vote today is against evil
This brilliant writer makes it very clear that our elections can no longer be taken for granted as a way to endorse different approaches to the same Constitutional goals.
We are now, for the long foreseeable term, joined in a battle for the defense of our Constitution; and every election, as long as we can continue to have elections, will be between the traditional Americans and those who wish to overthrow the Bill of Rights and the Constitution in favor of the tyranny that inspired them.

This may be our last election so make it count.
Thanks Albion Wilde.

We are the resistance.
Restore the Constitution!
I would submit that, in this stage of our system none of the groups approach the constitutional precepts as laid down by the Founders.
Socialism - in its proper sphere - is a very good method of governance!
If it weren't for socialism, capitalism would not succeed. Can you run a company efficiently as a true democratic enterprise? I don't see how. A successful leader of a company guides its course, hires and fires as needed, and selects the proper placement of both men and materiel needed to accomplish his aims - and gather as much profit as available lawfully.
Where it all fails is by putting those same ideas into practice for our governance. That can only enable despots and tyrants to ascend the gauntlet. True that some, maybe most of those who lead us have noble, altruistic aims, but the necessary bureaucracy for enabling and enforcing the rules and regulations will of themselves become an overbearing burden, as none of them are conditioned to eliminate their function.
Yes I'll pick Republican against the Democrats at this point, but make no mistake - they too are socialists! Even President Reagan, who I dearly loved, was too socialistic in his governance to my desires; and don't get me confused with the libertarian idiots that believe all-drugs / no-borders is the way to stay safe.
Thanks for the ping, AW.
Spoken like a person who has faith in liberty but no idea how it works.
Our goal is absolute victory, but it requires a workable plan. That starts with creating the room in the law for the start-ups that will become the free enterprise system with which the justifications for these bureaucracies are eliminated. Even the existence of a parallel and competing system will cause them to behave very differently toward the public they supposedly serve.
Well stated Albion. It has come down to that in essence.
“Our goal is not an absolute victory”
Yes. It is. Had the Revolutionary War not ended in absolute victory, we would still have a king and tyranny. THEY didn’t want a king then, and WE don’t want one now. We will never settle for tyranny...no matter WHO tries to impose it or whether it comes from without or within.
AMERICA was born out of overt rebellion and we will keep it by rebellion if necessary. We have but two choices. Absolute victory or absolute defeat. Defeat would mean we are all dead and I do not intend to die slowly under tyranny.
The occupation is not here to take power for another four years, but another forty years and another four-hundred years. It is not playing a short term game in a system where power shifts back and forth, but putting in place the infrastructure for the permanent occupation of the United States of America. But despite all its power and control, the miles of video screens that spew forth its propaganda, the billions of dollars that flow from its coffers into the pockets of its supporters and the cultural control that its proponents wield-- it still has one vulnerability.
A piece of paper, a push of a button, and the occupiers have to fall back, gritting their teeth and planning a renewed offensive in the spring.
And that is just it, isn't it? We need to organize around a vision that has a longer view than an election cycle.
Thank you for pinging me to this Albion.
I voted for Romney last Thursday.
May God hear our prayers.

...in this stage of our system none of the groups approach the constitutional precepts as laid down by the Founders.
Granted; that's why my post applied to all campaigns and voting, including local elections and primaries, not just the presidentials.
If it weren't for socialism, capitalism would not succeed. Can you run a company efficiently as a true democratic enterprise? I don't see how.
This is a straw man argument. A company is not a government; so the comparison isn't valid. And even a company can, in the spirit of free enterprise, introduce ways for employees to shine as individuals, create innovations and be promoted on merit.
Secondly, what is a "true democracy", in your frame of reference? Especially the Founders did not want "pure" democracy: one man, one vote. That's why the Electoral College was put in place. Early on, voting was restricted to landowners. I wish it were still granted only to real property holders or bona fide taxpayers.
Maybe he meant, in light of Romney being the lesser of two evils but still a card-carrying RINO, that a step in the right direction is the best we can hope for in this election. He seems to have focused the article on this particular race.
It is my fervent hope that the nation start TOMORROW to groom presidential candidates and other top-echelon leaders for 2016; and certainly to prime the conservative pump for the mid-terms in 2014.
