Left-Wing Ideology Now Rules Supreme In America
Townhall.com ^ | December 13, 2012 | Douglas MacKinnon

Posted on 12/13/2012 8:32:15 AM PST by Kaslin

News flash for conservatives, Christians, libertarians or anyone in America who embraces traditional values, the rule of law, common sense, basic math, a more secure nation or politicians who put you and your family first: You have lost or are losing across the board. Period.

With the re-election of Barack Obama — and he and his campaign should be congratulated for not only running a winning campaign but, more importantly, for also exploiting the weaknesses created by the nanny-state — there is now no more mystery or doubt. Liberal ideology rules supreme in our country and to say otherwise, is to deny the facts.

This winning liberal ideology — or theology to many on the far left — has been aided, abetted, guided and shaped by many in the mainstream media who now openly turn their backs on ethics, professionalism and character in favor of evangelizing for their new faith.

Be it the major networks, the cable networks or most of the top newspapers in the country, all now have highly influential personnel who have deliberately cast aside morality for liberal victory at any price.

Unfortunately, much worse than that, many of these same media personalities and outlets have added character assassination of conservatives or conservative viewpoints to their rhetorical arsenals.

The most egregious and recent example of this being when the editorial writers for the Washington Post gleefully smeared almost 100 Republican House members with the charge of racism. In their jumping-the-shark attack titled, "The GOP's Bizarre Attack On Susan Rice," the Washington Post wondered:

"Could it be, as members of the Congressional Black Caucus are charging, that the signatories of the letter are targeting Ms. Rice because she is an African-American woman? The signatories deny that, and we can't know their hearts.

"What we do know is that more than 80 of the signatories are white males, and nearly half are from states of the former Confederacy. You'd think that before launching their broadside, members of Congress would have taken care not to propagate any falsehoods of their own."

Right Surrenders

Amazingly, the Republican leadership just took this false and obscene charge on the chin. Rather than taking to the airwaves to demand an apology from the Post and rounding up a good legal team to sue for defamation, the GOP leaders went silent.

Of course, this would be the same leadership that threatens the few conservatives in the House with expulsion from committee assignments if they don't tow the "water down our principles" line, so their ducking an issue of integrity may be understandable.

In and of itself, that's yet another glaring example of why the liberals now control the megaphone of America and rule supreme. All too often, conservatives, Christians and anyone who espouses traditional values will simply wring their hands and say "what are we to do" when their beliefs are attacked or eradicated.

The polar-opposite of that being the reaction from the far left when they feel threatened. Be it gay marriage, the unsustainable and economy-destroying benefits for public-employees, "global warming," ObamaCare, extending unemployment benefits to infinity, open borders, legalizing drugs or a host of other issues, many on the far left will fight tooth and nail to defend that which is dear to them.

They will march, they will boycott, they will harass, they will cyber-attack, they will be relentless. And finally, they will intimidate many politicians and corporations into complete capitulation.

As to why those who believe in traditional values and the rule of law don't fight back, it's because everywhere they turn, they see the battle lost.

The media? The far left controls it. Entertainment? The far left controls it. Education from pre-school to post-graduate? The far left controls it. Music? The far left controls it. Pulitzer and Nobel prizes? The far left controls them. The unions? The far left controls them. Historians? The far left are the historians.

The "message" of America? The far-left dictates it.

Somewhere along the way, conservatives and all who believe in traditional values ceded every single bully-pulpit to the far left. The evidence is clear:

The far left has won, and its power grab and influence continues unabated. Now what?

Yep. Passive resistance. We built this country, it’s been taken from us. Let it go to hell.

Now what?

We all live in a European-style Social Democracy (presuming it does not evolve into something even worse) for the rest of our natural lives.

I frankly see nothing on the horizon that will turn this thing around before I go to meet my Maker. And I'm only around 50.

We can survive just fine without their money. They can't survive without ours. Starve that beast.
It's way past time to get seriously frugal. You and your family must come first. Let them fend for themselves for a change. Force them to live off the absent fruits of their own absent labor.

Said it before and I'll say it again: We have two options.

1) Encourage/urge/insist/DEMAND that at least one state of the Union DEFY every last federal fiat and mandate that originates in DC...

Or...

Secession.

Move your capital elsewhere. Cloward-Piven is a two-way street.

Crash the U.S. economy. It will be the legacy Barack wants. I suggest we let him have it.

Yes, there is no appetite for revolution in this country. We are a social welfare nanny state now. This is what the people chose. Our fastest growing demographic are ignorant Hispanics who are a natural Democrat constituency. They support big government in such numbers that it is becoming difficult for traditional Americans to overcome it - soon even states like Texas and Arizona will be difficult to win.

This just has to play itself out till our economic house of cards implodes. But that may not happen soon, it is possible to kick the can down the road for a long, long time.

Liberals didn’t accomplish this on their own, because face it... THEIR ideology is dated and flawed beyond credibility.

No.

They had the complicity of decades of Conservative politicians who said ONE thing to get themselves elected, THEN went to DC and DID something else!

“Move your capital elsewhere. Cloward-Piven is a two-way street”

Only if you are willing to use it. The simplest thing to do is to out Alinsky Alinsky. However because the left is so far entrenched into government agencies, the only thing that can be done is to take down the messenger.

The MSM needs to be destroyed. That is the only way we are getting our country back.

Yeah, that’s right.

It’s what happens when you don’t fight your enemy at all.

America will not burn but will become a communists dictatorship. There is no opposition from anywhere in Washington that would be even slightly effective. America has been destroyed by the MSM, Democrats that are pure communists, Unions thugs (from the beginning of unions they were started by hard core socialists and now are communists shadow government), Hollywood freaks, And the list goes on and on. But the most infuriating is the American themselves.

Hope for a reversal is just that HOPE. The dwindling power of the conservative American in the political scene is evident that if America ever comes back it will because of a civil war. And if the military supports King Obama, all is really lost. Add that the huge portion of GOP are worthless wimps, reality must be faced.

Leftist administration was a given after the primaries.

The Left uses the rule of law and the Constitution only when it serves their purposes. We have to realize that the Constitution is dead, especially with 0-care. There is no rule of law that applies to our political masters, no Constitutional republic and we cannot restore the republic through the political process via incrementalism or other conventional means.
We need to let the system collapse, but also create some type of organized alternative structure to oppose the hard Leftist tyranny that will fill vacuum during the period of anarchy to come. I know one thing, if the collapse occurs, the organized structure will definitely not be the GOP.

Read Oliver North's new book, Heroes Proved. It's a futuristic view of the US under the post modernist Progressives in 2030.
