“We can always hope that they’l learn from experience. Trouble is, few of ‘em do.”

I’m not so sure about that. They used to say the definition of a conservative, was a liberal who got mugged. I must say, I was a dem until Carter mugged me and everyone around me as a young man. I had that epiphany, and it was Ronald Reagan. Carter created more conservatives than anyone on the planet I think. I think Obama will do the same. Folks are getting mugged, economically. They are getting mugged by affirmative action. They are getting mugged by taxes. They are getting mugged by having their religious beliefs attacked. They are getting mugged by having their children brainwashed in the schools.

It is no longer called a mugging, it is called a ‘flashmob’. This administration has ‘flashmobbed’ the country, and I think the result will be a whole bunch of people who awaken one day to find themselves as conservatives. Some are just too stupid of course, and others have selfish reasons to stay democrat (gub’mint workers, union workers, the lazy, the permanent victim types), but the rest, I think we will see a resurgence, and the media fears this much, which is why they will attack (and are attacking) anyone with values (Palin, Bachman, Cain, you take your pick).

Interesting change of metaphor - from the mugger to the flash mob as the agent of awakening. There’s a certain amouint of truth to that.

On the other hand, almost half of the voting public are composed of Those Who Are No Longer Our Countrymen. IOW, the Free Shit Army. They all want their Free Shit - that’d be your and my stuff - and God help anyone who gets in their way when the goodies aren’t forthcoming. Just like lab rats in a behavioral conditioning experment, they’ve been trained to pull the ‘D’ voting lever to get their little food pellet. Imagine the rage and the frustration when it finally dawns on them that there will be no more pellets forthcoming. They’ll go lab rat crazy. Not all, but most. Because they’ll be totally unwilling to give their picture of how the world works - the Free Shit world - in favor of reality.
