The institution of Congress succumbs to the penetration by the left.

This is not the cause of the problem but it is manifestation. We lost this election when we permitted our borders to be porous; when we permitted our academic institutions to be penetrated and converted into instruments of propaganda; when we permitted all of our other institutions such as the Bar Association, medical associations, the League of Women Voters, the Ford foundation, public television, public radio, journalism in general, the rulemaking bureaucracy, the judiciary, and capitalism as expressed in the free market in general. We lost this election when we lost the historical battle over McCarthy and communist penetration leaving whole demographics, such as Chicago and its black population, open to being organized by radical leftists. We lost the present when we lost the battle over history in general.

This vote and the general election which proceeded it are only the consequences of lost battle after lost battle across the board. When the left sought to take over America it did it by infiltrating and co-opting virtually all of our institutions. We cannot expect to prevail from the top down. Politicians are no more or less decent than the rest of the population. We have got to understand that much of our society simply does not share our belief system. We cannot prevail without changing how America thinks. That is what the left set out to do and has so far accomplished brilliantly. It is absurd to ask politicians who are in the business of pandering to the public to stand up against the public or public perception.

It matters not whether we abandon the Republican Party or attempt to reform it. The problem has gone beyond that now.

“It matters not whether we abandon the Republican Party or attempt to reform it. The problem has gone beyond that now.”

Extremely well stated analysis of the pickle we are in.

Very well stated, concise and accurate.

And depressing. But the dark side has had at least 100 years to wear down and infiltrate our most cherished institutions, and they’re not stupid, either.

At this point, I’m at a loss for any solutions that don’t involve a divided country.

Beautifully said.

The hotair headline of last night said it all .....” this isn’t gridlock, this is collapse “.

There is no resistance, because it’s hard, it is uncomfortable and it’s costly.

Those who would are now, for the most part, are octogenarians, and the younger don’t know liberty after a lifetime in American schools.
