"It's Bush's fault."

"The Koch brothers are evil conservative republican billionaires who want to ruin this country." (Kochs are staunch anti-war libertarians)

"If this doesn't convince the Republicans that climate change is real, then nothing will."

Allen West, who is not a coward, may just have lost his congressional seat. He is losing it in part because he had the courage to say what we all know -- that there are communists in the United States Congress -- and his supposed compatriots in the GOP abandoned him as a crank.

Michele Bachmann -- whom I strongly supported in the primaries -- came within an inch of losing her congressional seat. She almost lost in part because she has had the courage to speak out about a host of constitutional issues, from the debt to the Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the government, and her supposed compatriots in the GOP quietly refused to support her campaign in the hope that she would disappear, and take her embarrassing hard truths with her.

No more apologies. No more embarrassment. No more veiled language when on the big stage. The left won the day by making the most radical, anti-human irrationalism of this epoch seem safe and normal, while portraying freedom and individualism as the dangerous, radical path.

The electoral battle between leftism and liberty is lost, and perhaps will now remain so for a good long time, regardless of the name of the winning party in any given election.

The moral war, however, is still in its early stages. It is an educational war, which means a war of ideas, which means a civilizational war. It is going to get ugly, and we are going to lose more battles than we win. As you know, however, the ultimate victor is the side that wins the last battle.

"Forward"? Bring it on.

Glad to help. It was the one thing that brought me out of my state of shock. My sister, also a FReeper, turned me on to it.

Please tell your sister, “Thanks!”

Lots to think about, and what a solution, instead of revolution, and totally within the law.

It’s not the end, it’s the beginning. Wow.

“This RINO can win, honest! You are either for the RINO or for Obama!”

Yeah, that worked well.
