NET CALL: THE WAY AHEAD v4.
Blood, Sweat, Tears | 11/18/2012 | Military Cop

Posted on 11/18/2012 7:35:58 AM PST by military cop

This post was 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. You're living in a dream world if you think that is the way to recover this country.

As a result, true conservatives MUST take steps to eradicate 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 on election 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LEADERSHIP: The old crew has proven either incompetent or outdated. McConnell and Boehner must go.

They represent a failed plan to defend and resist without clearly explaining their position.

They’ve shown they are content with looking like the bad guys and willing to 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, Sessions, or Demint in the Senate.

Fresh leadership shows a clear change to the narrative that the MSM and the democrats have built against the RNC.

If the old guard go willingly and for the good of the country, so be it.

If not, then those I’ve mentioned must wrestle and negotiate and convince and do what it takes for these men to step down.

I’m not talking about the old guard leaving their seats. McConnell can die in place for all I care. I’m talking about the current leadership – who have proven to be a caving, dismal failure – to step aside and become followers to a new approach to this 21st century political fight.

To stand and fight, We MUST HAVE a standard bearer to show the face of the party to the country and rally ALL fragments of conservatism around.

I see no one on the horizon with as much rock star potential and substance as Rubio. These next four years must put him on the center stage with a unified and consolidated message. It also needs to protect him from the attacks from the left that are guaranteed to come.

Everything the Obamites used to deny, deflect, and defuse will be used against them....including the race card. THAT is what will make Rubio a teflon candidate. If you don’t buy this, I’m open to suggestion.

Rubio’s ethnicity in and of itself builds credibility and identity with Hispanics across the nation and opens more of that demographic to the conservative message from jump.

The person is not the issue, the STANDARD BEARER IS.

Change is necessary at the head of the RNC as well. Prebius represents failure and "aw shucks" attitude. A new way to fight requires a true fighter. I don’t see that in him.

I read a headline a few weeks ago that said "100s of Retired Generals Throw Their Support Behind Romney"...It's time for them to serve again, this time within the RNC.

These men can quickly and efficiently change the organization of a party that seems confused as to what the next step is and what to do now.

Pete Schoomaker, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and long time special operator (commanded a Delta Force Squadron during his career )would be a suggestion.

He understands how to translate the concepts I'm talking about into a living, breathing organization prepared to execute this type of operation on a nation-wide scale.

These men 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. It marks a clear start from inside and outside when we actually started taking this enemy seriously.

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.

The dems have built quite the coalition but it’s a house of cards; it’s a fractured coalition of single issue voters held together by a media-invested hollyweird worshipping demagogue. They can be piecemealed away bit by bit without sacrificing principle.

Give it to the dems on their “community organizing” machine. We don’t need to reinvent that model. We MUST develop our own. One that will INSTILL our principles in a language tailored to the audience. They’ve tailored theirs on the community organizer, we can create ours around the military special operator.

This is the winning of hearts and minds in our own third world backyard dem strongholds.

It isn’t as difficult as it sounds.

It requires a patient and immediate effort that starts with the post election analysis looking not for what we WANT to find, but for the GROUND TRUTH. GROUND TRUTH is REAL INTELLIGENCE not Rovian number-crunching wishful thinking.

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.

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

There ARE like thinkers in these communities. How do we find them? Ask Jesse L. Peterson. Ask JC Watts and Herman Cain. They KNOW how to splinter these vulnerable areas off the blue.

The hispanic issue is RIPE for moving into the red. Catholic, family oriented cultures who believe in being left alone and naturally distrust the government. And they voted Obama? This is the epitome of the single issue voter. the RNC needs to go toe to toe, issue to issue with La Raza, the Marxist mouthpiece in that community, and counter it with a conservative alternative, in that language, at THAT LEVEL.

Think it can’t be done? SOF has been doing it since the end of World War II. It CAN be done.

WE must get deep into the education system to promote the ideals and values of conservatism that should be selling themselves. I’m not talking about traditional public schools and universities. They are ROTTED with liberals. They also aren’t the keys to education in the 21st century.

I’m talking about the new way to educate - the online universities, the trade schools and night schools. 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 pockets of 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 and shocked when the media all but ignores it. We must take the offensive in getting up in every Candy Crowley, every George Stepenopolis’ face and call them what they are: democratic hacks posing as the “objective media”.

WE’VE GOT TO STOP SMILING AND PRETENDING THESE IGNORANT DEM TALKING POINTS DON’T MATTER. THEY DO. Not to us but, for the ignorant who just go with the flow and believe the trash talk talking points the dems customize for the Nintendo generation.

We ABSOLUTELY MUST be proactive. We must attack and COUNTERATTACK 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. We can’t pretend that the most outrageous comment won’t gain traction then act surprised when weeks later, that theme picks up steam. ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK and don't give the dems a minute's relief to reset the media battlefield OR the political discourse.

We need to teach this en mass through RNC training programs down to the local level, national and regional teams of propogandists crafting the message and providing instant support to local leaders to advance that message and counter message. EVERY conservative and republican mouthpiece MUST BE SPEAKING IN UNISON.

Alinsky tactics must be turned against their masters. There is GREAT power in ridicule and scorn. They make it too easy to use. It needs to be culturally tailored and consistent. Dennis Miller needs his own show on FNC AND a late night show on Fox. Let him source and promote culturally diverse conservative comedians that vulnerable areas can relate to and remember. Bold Fresh tours aren’t enough.

This is only 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. This party represents the core values that ANY LIVING PERSON will relate to if they are challenged and messaged properly.

COIN operations involve a very in depth understanding of cultural idiosyncrasies 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. OVERSOLD AND UNDERDELIVERED.

It’s a sell based on how it affects 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 Military 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.

Here’s the kicker: There are countless retired special operations planners and operators working overseas as contractors RIGHT NOW. It’s too easy; the RNC needs to hire them as contractors over here.

This is, by far, not the only avenue we’ve got to pursue in order to turn the tide. We must confront and use the power of law, media, technology and the corporate world to form a UNITED MOVEMENT.

WE ARE AT 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.

Wrong answer, sir.

I’m looking for solutions to an identified problem.

Sticking your head in the sand and pulling the “All Is Lost” handle isn’t exactly the type of progress that will advance this forum’s cause.

I’m WIDE open to suggstions. I just don’t consider “Surrender” or “Run Away” to be viable options.

By your tagline, I don’t believe you do either.

So where’s YOUR “matchstick”?

You are a disrepecting low-level liberal to come here and claim no one has taken serious action. Did you go to the TEA Party rally in DC? Here, point out those in this image from that day that haven't done enough. Oh, and point out your picture. I am sure with your immature bravado you must have been there. I don't think you are a conservative whatsoever to come here and say the disrespectful things you are saying in the corny ways you are saying them. You're probably 19 and a Call of Duty player.

Hate to break it to you but, I am the real deal.

I work for two branches of the government represetned by my screen name....

And I take significant risk in continuing to post here.

But, I believe in what I’m talking about.

Aim your crosshairs on the enemy, not in your own foxhole.

“then they are sure being bought cheap. “

Yes, they are, but when you look at the total take for welfare programs you find the average is about $27,000 and as high as $67,000. To you and me maybe that isn’t squat, but to them that is public housing or a rent subsidized apartment, food, phones, etc, and allows then expensive sneakers, clothing, and an HDTV. It allows them to live while making very little money otherwise.

I know several “disabled” people that live on that and refuse, even though they are able bodied, to go to work and make more. One is 32 and the other 55 years old. Both could easily work but “disability” pays them about $700/month plus reduced utilities, food stamps of $270/month, free cable and Internet, reduced cell phone costs, free medical care, etc. To them working the disability/welfare system is their job.

How did they get disability/welfare?

The 32 year old had a work related shoulder injury. During surgery she claimed mental depression due to her childhood, which wasn’t bad she is just a total crybaby. Her State appointed therapist claimed she needed continued therapy and 100% disability was granted so she could get it. See the train of thought there: The therapist wrote her note for 100% so she could continue to go to the therapist. Fox, hen house.

The 55 year old actually was kidnapped and tortured and raped for 3 days and she escaped through a plate glass window while the guy was out looking for a place to bury her body. For that, she claims mental instability, a 100% disability. Same deal: Therapist writes the note for continued therapy.

Mil Cop seems legit. Go easy, guys.

mc, a word of advice: if you are a newbie, go slow and earn your chops. You know the drill, coming into a new place and demanding people do it or think it your way, never works.

I’m sure he’s the real deal and I’m sure his intentions are very good. He’s just coming across as aggressive, argumentative, and obnoxious. I work with military people like that every day. They don’t get a lot accomplished, because no one wants to work with them. But they don’t really notice how ineffective they are because they’re too busy pointing fingers at everyone else.

“Hate to break it to you but, I am the real deal.”

Over-the-top bravado, referencing the Rangers, etc., is all kid type bullsh*t. Go play your video games and stop insulting those that have taken action in this political situation, n00b.

I’m demanding nothing. I’ve been here since 2001 and have earned the right to make suggestions.

I’ve watched too many people tryingto initiate ideas get run off a website that I’ve come to rely on to know that there are those like minded.

go back and read what I wrote in this post. I see no arrogance in what I point out.

I think a lot of others would agree.

I’m proud of the tab I’ve earned and far from being a noob.

Didn’t realize a resume was a requirement to give my opinion but I can assure you, I’ve never played video games and I am who I say I am.

How bout you reread my post and find the arrogance for me?

Continuing to belittle those in your own camp won’t.
