There’s no doubt we need a superdose of genuine Americanism.
In the end, though, to save Americanism we must fight through an elective process.
If too many remain fractured into too many subset enclaves and can’t, or won’t, unify enough to save it electorally, the enemy wins.
As disparate as the Left’s groups are, they do know how, and are willing, to hang together in their zeal for the Socialist Statist cause.
While we splinter and splinter and splinter on and on ad infinitum...
It will. This is how Hugo Chavez took dictatorial control over Venezuela. The opposition kept splintering. Venezuelans have a chance to overthrow him this year but there is no guarantee that they can get a fair election to oust Chavez, re-take the courts and legislature and reinstate their constitution. Chavez has had so much time to become Mugabe-like with his infiltration of the army, courts, local government, cultural institutions, schools, street mobs and his patronage system of power.
The Left has twisted this emotion to imply that their opponents are the ones getting the bigger free ride.
Loud, lengthy, and coherent clarification of who the real free-loaders are would make a big difference in who gets selected to govern.
