As usual, John Derbyshire (formerly of National Review before he was booted for politically-incorrect observations) provides an incisive analysis of where we stand and an intriguing look at where we might be going. An excerpt:

When you look at the overall picture, however, we are still fighting the Civil War. That is to say, the contest was mainly between two huge groups of white people who don't much like each other, with the colored folk playing a marginal role. That's how it was in the War Between the States, and that's how it still is today.

In the state of Mississippi, for example, 89 percent of whites voted for Romney; in the state of Alabama, it was 84 percent. In the state of Maine, on the other hand, only 40 percent of whites voted for Romney; in Vermont, only 33 percent.

Barack Obama wasn't re-elected by blacks, Hispanics, or Asians, though they helped at the margins; he was re-elected by Yankees.

I made a point like that in a recent post. I admit race can be a factor but it is not the only one. You have plenty of stupid moochers who are White too. I always admired the South, they are the closest to a warrior culture that we have. There is plenty of blame to go around.

Does the Republican Party have a future?

Not as far as I am concerned. For the past two election cycles, they have shoved a moderate in our face and, for the last two election cycles, we have gone down in flames!

It's time that we switch to the Tea Party and start getting conservative candidates to represent us. The GOP-E has breathed its last. They are too willing to bend to the will of the leftists and DO NOT represent the majority of conservative Americans.

Don't contribute to them and don't support them in any way, shape or form.

You mean I can claim minority benefits, file affirmative action lawsuits, and EOA lawsuits now? Sweet!

Only the reality that most of the offices that dispense the benefits are minorities that have no sympathy for the white race and do their best to deny them benefits. I’ve seen this with my own eyes numerous times. They’ll take our white money for some reason though...

The GOP is dead! Stick a fork in them. Blame it on the establishment GOP who derided the Tea Party who put them back in power in 2010. The GOP bent over backwards to kiss the ass on anyone “minority” but simply ignored its own support base, e.g. Tea Party, Ron Paul supporters, Real Conservatives!

The GOP died when the Establishment “Bill Crystal, Karl Rove, and company” forced out any real conservatives during the primary. electing instead to support another RINO Romney who campaigned on: “Repeal Obamaycare and replace it!” Does not encourage conservatives to crawl through glass to vote for him.

Time for a true conservative third party that stands for bona fide free market enterprise, constitutional government, balanced budget, and secure our borders! Watch how fast their candidate gets elected after the disaster of Obamay administration!

> you vote in accordance with race and religion.

Very true. And this time race was not a factor, it was the few million gonadal and religious voters that stayed home because Romney was Mormon and didn’t force rape victims to carry their rapist infected embryo.

I’ll add that people also vote or abstain in accordance with their intelligence.

Barack Obama wasn't re-elected by blacks, Hispanics, or Asians, though they helped at the margins; he was re-elected by Yankees.

And the GOP-E country clubbers have a Yankee mindset as well (trust me, I know, I come from a family of such and was fortunate to have grown up away from the Northeast). That has always been the problem with the GOP-E - even as it is in a separate party than the Dems, their views overlap with the Dems more than their views overlap those of conservatives. Hence the fact that Romney went far more negative against his primary opponents than he did against Obama - it was a much more natural reaction for his GOP-E campaign operatives.

This post is written in anger and frustration.

Angry that we continue to follow the Republican Party’s elite ignorance. A party that continues to pull defeat from the jaws of victory characterized by pompous fools who fulfill the sterotype built by the left.

Frustrated that the reality of politics is this: There will be no third party capable of competing with the coalition constructed by the dems. As a result, true conservatives MUST take steps to irradicate the ignorance of the Republican Party while still adhering to the core values of our forefathers (beliefs that I discovered are considered extreme by over half of my countrymen last night, BTW).

I have no solve for exactly how to accomplish this. Only advice based on a long military career in several foreign lands for how to defeat the dems once this is accomplished.

This thought process is based on the concept of irregular warfare with twists thrown in here and there for good measure.

With that, I provide the following advice for the good of the order.

LEADERSHIP: The old crew has proven either incompotent or outdated. McConnell and Boerner must go. They represent a failed plan to defend and resist without clearly explaining their position. They are content with looking like the bad guys and face public scorn when they don’t realize how important it is to manipulate a clearly left leaning MSM. They represent the failure of the last four years to our own and obstructionists to the opposition. We’ve got to show a new face to the nation. That is the genesis of rebuilding this movement. Ryan or Cantor in the House, Rubio or Demint in the Senate.

They represent a change in a party that has been beaten soundly in the last two elections by a charlatan and his traveling circus. A fresh choice in leadership represents change you can TRULY beleive in from every angle.

GROUND GAME: It is IMPERATIVE to develop and foster an intricate ground game. It requires a MICRO-ANALYSIS of every county, every city, and every early and absentee ballot by demographic to find how how, why, and with what method they voted. Give it to the dems on their “community organizing” machine. We don’t need to reinvent that model. we MUST develop our own.

It will require an insurgent effort at the ground level. An infiltration into dem areas that we identify are weak or vulnerable to start cutting in to the blue.

This isn’t as difficult as it sounds. It requires a patient and immediate effort that starts with the post election analysis.

The COIN (insurgeny/counterinsurgency)effort would include the identification of these areas, the inflitration of the areas through churches and charitable organizations AND PARTICULARLY THROUGH EDUCATION.

I’m not talking about traditional public schools and universities. I’m talking about the new way to educate - the online universities, the trade schools and nightschools. Corporate allies need to invest and educate with the ideals of economic and fiscal conservatism.

The RNC needs to lead and develop this effort. A novice like me can see that there is a disconnect between the voting habits of catholic-dominated hispanics and baptist blacks and their actual stated values. That disconnect can be exploited if it is done slowly, deliberately, and effectively.

INFORMATION WARFARE: We are ATROCIOUS AT THIS. Dems get a simple message out early and often. They poison the well and we are left to change minds rather than get the initial impression right from jump. We constantly play defense and think we are sooooo clever when dems (as they ALWAYS do) do something stupid or illegal.

We ABSOLUTELY MUST be proactive. We must attack at EVERY OPPORTUNITY then add each fail of the dems to a trend and theme. These themes must be simple, tailored, and repetitively broadcast to each target demographic.

We must look out beyond the 5 and 10 meter targets. We’ve got to effectively interpret what the dem message is on the horizon and confront it at all levels - from the national MSM level filtering directly down to the target group level. Even I can see what the talking points of the upcoming week are by watching the Sunday talking head programs. Defense is unacceptable. Attack, attack, attack.

This is only one part of an overall information operation plan that is constant in a simple party message and what it means to each target group.

WE DON’T DO THAT WELL. WHY NOT?

I find it unbelievable that Obama has hijacked the reputation and imagery of the Party of Lincoln. COIN operations involve a very in depth understanding of cultural idocyncracies and how best to exploit them to our advantage. It’s not a “wool-over-the-eyes” approach or a “free shit” approach like the dems sell. THAT ALWAYS COMES UP SHORT.

It’s a sell based on how it effects each target group and what it means to them. If it’s done right, I am CONFIDENT that the tenets of conservatism sell themselves.

In Civil Miltary Operations, assistance in areas that seem unrelated builds trust in the agency. Granted, there’s a fine line between assistance and the giving of free shit but, the special operations forces walk that line well. It can be done. Community outreach in areas that we identify, in ways that we haven’t before can build a larger tent without sacrificing our beliefs.

The military has been doing this in third world countries for years. We’ve been more successful in some areas, less successful in others. In the United States third world strongholds of the Democratic Party,I am confident that it can be done.

This is, by far, not the only avenue we’ve got to pursue in order to turn the tide.

But, if we are going to war, the RNC must look to the military to rediscover and reorganize. The number-crunching beancounters have their place in the organization but, on their best days, they can only identify who will and won’t vote Republican.

This is a “Hearts and Minds” effort.

It requires a new way to think about the political battlefield.

Rangers Lead the Way.

In the last 4 years, 13 million have been added to Food Stamps, millions more to disability. This is the reason odumbi won. He had a head start of at least 20 million sucking like vampires on America.

The GOP House needs to defund welfare. NOW.
The GOP House needs to establish an election day police and system that will stop the voter fraud. NOW.

Take away the welfare and THEY HAVE TO WORK. If they have to work, then they HAVE TO VOTE GOP, because the GOP creates jobs. The Dems create food stamps. nuff said.

The solution: business friendly “red zones” and benefit friendly “blue zones. Just like Hong hong China and PRC China. Let the blues stew in their filth.

“Barack Obama wasn’t re-elected by blacks, Hispanics, or Asians, though they helped at the margins; he was re-elected by Yankees.”

Ain’t that the truth. Look at a map of the electoral results on Tuesday and compare it to a map of the US/CSA circa 1862. Nothing much has changed.

“Does the Republican Party have a future?”

God I hope not. But I suppose it’ll hang on for awhile longer. Just like the Whigs did.

The Republican party is a white onion and the Democrats handily peal off layers and take them. They peal off the gay layer, the female layer, the senior layer, the lazy layer, the union layer, and the athiest layer. That leaves a really small layer that is doomed.
