Mourning in America---Why we lost.

You are right and all the silly explanations, hair splitting, pointing fingers at Mitt, the GOP, are just... silly. The nation went Argentina, I keep saying, once the 5th (?) economic powerhouse in the world (I mean Argentina), and a Third World basket case since they first elected their own version of Obama, Juan Peron and his glamorous working class Moochie, Evita. There is no going back, it seems, and even military coups couldn’t fix that country.

100,000 votes in Ohio is hardly “barely won”.

No no, you are all wrong, says Lindsay Graham. LOL

The answer, if you have the stomach for it, is this: beat them at their own game, using their tactics which as you can see, work.

My thinking exactly. But we may have to step back a bit further than Candy-a$$ Cow-ley. Like the Alinsky-ites, or the Islamists, come to think about it, this is not a new phenomenon. The underpinnings of this takeover go back to the 60s and 70s when the Bill Ayres and Bernadette Dohrns of the world began to infiltrate the American education system with their philosophy of "bring it all down, man".

I can still remember the protest marches in my hometown as a teenager, "merely" protesting the Vietnam War. Looking back, it was planting the seeds of discontent with those in college or about to enter college. The war was a convenient distraction, and begat a generation of professional students who spent many years in Academia avoiding the draft. Then, since they had "degrees" in disciplines for which there was no useful profession (Philosophy, Literature, clap trap like that), they graduated from students to teachers of the next generation.

Others, like myself, got our degrees in the more "traditional" disciplines like engineering, math, sciences, etc. and went out into the real world of business to earn our livelihood. Married, had children, then we get whammied by high taxes, changing social mores, etc. to the point that Mom had to go out into the business world as well to help support the family. So, where my generation (mid-50s) came home from school to have Mom waiting to nurture us or take us to the "occasional" activity (religious school, Little League, basics), our kids either came home to an empty house, or were shuffled off to the great "Childcare" collective like bees to the hive. Even the few lucky enough to have Mom at home after school were herded into the SUV and off to one organized activity after another, staying busy until dinner time or later, all under the watchful eye of Hillary's "Village".

To wrap it up, then, we need to start now to undo the mess we're in. But I won't be surprised if I don't live to see things get back to something even APPROACHING normal. As I said, it took us 30-40 years to get to this point. Anyone here that thinks we can turn it around in one or even four or five election cycles is either fooling themselves or just a cockeyed optimist.

Let's pray that this country has the resiliency to hold on through the next 5-10 years or more of everything our forefathers feared.

I thought that Mitt won the nomination because the conservative vote was basically divided between several candidates-Cain, Perry, Santorum, Gingrich.
