I could not agree with you more more or more deeply share your desire to see Barak Obama exposed for the evil that he is and to see him utterly repudiated by the nation as a sign that we are turning our face away from the Marxist siren.

I have posted that I want Romney to lead a crusade but he insists on leading a campaign. Therefore, I have to constantly remind myself of what John F. Kennedy in a rare fit of candor said, "first you gotta win."

It is quite apparent that Romney has made a judgment that he should attack Obama not as a Marxist but as an incompetent. Similarly, in the debate last night he made a judgment that the potential reward did not justify the risk of confronting Obama on foreign policy issues but the prudent course was to stick to the need to show himself as being a plausible commander-in-chief. He was campaigning not crusading. In that I believe he succeeded.

I also believe the culture trumps politics and that is why I have for so many years on these threads been exploring the danger posed to our constitutional system and to a conservative way of life by the culture worms of The Frankfurt School, Cloward and Pivin, and Saul Alinsky.

As a candidate, Romney is saying my first responsibility is to get elected. My question is, what will he say as president? I am prepared to give him some leeway now to get elected but I have already posted that 48 hours after his election (I want to give him a chance to savor his victory) we conservatives had better start laying down the law to him.

Allow me to close on an anecdote. As a student in 1964 I fervently supported Barry Goldwater and attended a rally. On the way into the rally we noticed a host of people who could not gain entrance because they did not have tickets but they were enthusiastic supporters as well. After the rally I turned on the 11 o'clock news at home and was absolutely astonished to see, contrary to the evidence of my own eyes, that the supporters of Barry Goldwater had been transformed through the magic of television into protesters against him. I have never forgotten that incident.

Romney knows that if he gives the media an opening they will destroy him.

I have almost no insecurity about Romney's courage but I am skeptical of his philosophy. It remains to be seen whether he has real conservative instincts in his body. I think he has the intellectual and moral courage to carry out whatever philosophy he does have, an inference I draw from his biography (not his political biographie as much) and from his faith. We shall see.

Thank you for the heads-up about Trevor Loudon I have looked at the videos and other videos as well with great interest. I buy the communism connections completely, I do not dismiss them as tinfoil hat stuff, I believe they constitute a mortal peril for the Republic, I think they explained entirely the career of Barack Obama and the present condition of the George Soros dominated Democrat party.

If he doesn't get a Republican House and Senate...it don't mean naw-thin.

Touché.
The "incompetent" attack may be partly accurate, but I don't buy his logic.
Obama may be feigning "incompetence," thinking he's too sly, being a "wolf in sheep's clothing" since his mentoring was from Fabian Fascism.. Romney's an "Establishment Republican" and he's not going to listen to the Conservatives.
To go as far as he has in business and be as successful as he's been, he has to be a natural born politician.
And I'll admit that he's a religious man, who trys to follow God's laws as he sees them.
Romney's not going to listen to us. He's going to continue to play us like pawns.
And the best we can hope for is to replace him ASAP.
I understand, you can NEVER trust the media.

Thank you for your sincerely thought out commentary.
I'm a student of the early to mid 70s, and I appreciate your experience and observations.

Not just for you, but for all.

Military Scramble Order Overseas
First, I've got over 26 years working in military control towers, most of them as the watch supervisor/crew chief on duty.
Scrambling aircraft to respond to urgent situations normally starts at the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
The scramble order comes down through a secured phone call on a direct line.
In the attack on the U.S. embassy on Benghazi, the drone control would have been from MacDill AFB, FL, by U.S. Central Command, and would have been in direct contact, or maybe even remote control to the situation room in the White House.
Watch this 4 minute 48 second video Inside the Situation Room.
The pResident SHOULD HAVE issued to order to scramble fighters to Benghazi, to get there in minimum time.
Then he SHOULD HAVE issued a second order scrambling AC-130 gunships to respond to Benghazi, and have them stand by for more orders. This should have been controlled by the pResident, who should have monitored and responded with guidance from his Situation Room, Read
