Every time people ask me why the left has such a grip on this country, my answer is because they worked for it. It's the answer that most people don't want to hear, but it's true. The left has been planning this for a while. They have been playing the long game, building the infrastructure and indoctrinating generations. And to beat them, we will have to do the same thing.

Apparently truer than I in my optimism had figured. I am hoping the mechanisms will be (further) brought out — dealing with them is another thing.

The Pubbies are insane...they keep doing the same things over-and-over...expecting different results.

BTW...Feds are a creature of the States. We want a different Fed Gov...We the People need to own the statehouses...

FYI. Hope y’all are well.

A movement needs a deeper sense of passion. It must be fueled by a certainty that it holds the answer to the problems of its society and its civilization. It must believe that its existence would be necessary even if the left did not exist. And it must be willing to do anything to win.

This goes against the grain of conservatism as we understand it. Conservatism is supposed to be a rational project not a passionate one.

” The Republican establishment had its shot, twice. It put up moderate non-objectionable candidates. And it lost.”

Exactly. I couldn’t believe the last few errors, watching people I know to be staid, solid conservatives act as if Romney was the new Reagan. Had romney been elected, sure he would have done a better job than obama. BUT no doubt would have stabbed us in the back on quite a few issues the way mccain did and does. Appointed liberal left supreme fourth justices, favored amnesty for illegal aliens, allowed taxpayer funded abortions to continue, caved to the environmental/global warming crowd now and then, made deals with democrats in raising taxes or many other issues, etc.

I thought we did have that passion this time around. Apparently the sticking point is that The Won's people "were willing to do anything to win" and our side got steamrolled by the political media complex.

The question is whether a right-wing movement can emerge that will make the vast majority of small businessmen in this country feel as negatively about a Democratic president as welfare voters feel about a Republican president?

The problem with that is that there will always be more welfare recipients than small business owners.
