Psssst, Here’s What We Do When We Win (Don’t Tell The Liberals)
Townhall.com ^ | October 27, 2014 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 10/27/2014 2:35:01 AM PDT by Kaslin

Democrats are trying to rally their indolent base by painting a picture of a Republican-controlled Congress as the progressives’ worst nightmare. It’s important that we conservatives make that beautiful dream come true.

Their misery is our delight. Each liberal tear is a sparkling diamond that brings joy to freedom-loving Americans.

But now is not the time to talk about what we intend to do – at least not in public. Let’s just keep it here, between us conservatives, where no liberal except for the occasional lonely troll and creepy Media Matters intern will ever tread. Ignore those geniuses who tell us that “Republican candidates need to stand for something and talk about their vision” in individual races (as opposed to useful, generic GOP rebranding efforts like this). We’re winning right now talking about how much the Democrats suck.

Thom Tillis is going to beat Kate Hagan by talking about her staggering corruption. Joni Ernst is going to clock Bruce Braley by attacking his smug farmerphobia. And Corey Gardner is going to out-War on Women Mark Uterus by mocking the leering Democrat weirdo’s gyno obsession. Why would our candidates stop the fun and give their opponents ammo by talking about the next two years?

If the consultant types fretting over candidates not babbling about their vision statements knew anything about winning, they would know that when you’re winning, you keep doing the things that made you be winning. There – I just provided you future candidates with better advice than 90% of those overpaid, under-slapped GOP consultants ever will. Now give me $100,000.

But we conservatives, among ourselves, do need to discuss our game plan as Election Day approaches since it appears that the GOP establishment might actually not blow it like it usually does. Our agenda should be very simple.

We need to neuter Barack Obama while setting the conditions to defeat Hillary Clinton and keep the Congress in 2016.

That’s it. That’s got to be our agenda.

After all, there is only one real problem in America – progressivism. Left untreated, that political cancer will metastasize and kill our country. Destroying progressivism must be our sole goal – and we need to do it with a smile so we don’t scare the gutless moderates.

But already you can hear the geniuses talking about their pet policy prescriptions. Hey, let’s get right into tax reform! Good plan. Let’s immediately sign onto a quixotic crusade that – at best – gives Barack Obama a policy win, but more likely invites the Democrat transcriptionists in the mainstream media to paint us as clones of the Monopoly Guy. You don’t need your monocle to see that’s a dumb idea.

Or amnesty. Yeah, let’s sign right onto a policy initiative that again – at best – gives Barack Obama a victory while rewarding our political opponents at the expense of infuriating the GOP base. Hey, John Boehner, et al. – stop talking about amnesty. Stop. Talking. Now.

What we need to do is use our power to obstruct the President’s policy initiatives and investigate his (and Hillary’s) serial misconduct, all while making Democrats – particularly ones up for reelection in 2016 – have to choose between supporting their party and keeping their seats by forcing them to take suicidal stands in a never-ending series of agonizingly unfair and difficult votes.

Oh, and we must do it while appearing friendly and reasonable to the outside world. People who know how to appear friendly and reasonable can do the most damage.

But we don’t need to actually be nice. We need to embrace our inner predator instead of our inner herbivore and go for the jugular. We need to rediscover the joy of crushing our enemies, driving them before us, and hearing the lamentations of the liberal beta males.

We need to be committed to defeating these people. Comprehensively. Completely. Permanently. Remember that our opponents are the same bunch of cryptofascists who recently voted to limit the First Amendment’s freedom of speech. We know how they feel about the freedom of religion and the right to keep and bear arms. The only Constitutional rights these people believe in are the ones that aren’t in the Constitution.

We need to take on popular causes that mix good policy with great politics. Sure, we need to symbolically vote to repeal Obamacare again, but we need to do other things too. How about copyright reform? How long have we extended out copyright protection for liberal Hollywood – two, three centuries? Hey, let’s cut it back to a reasonable 20 years. Young people will find their entertainment is cheaper and their YouTube videos won’t get taken down all the time on bogus copyright claims by big corporations – by the way, when’s the last time a big media corporation ever did anything to promote conservatism? Plus, our political opponents will be sad – and maybe decide that putting all their chips on one party was a bad idea. As a bonus for you wonks, copyright reform is awesome public policy too.

How about an “American Worker Act” that allows unemployed citizens standing to sue employers hiring illegals instead of U.S. workers? Watch the trial lawyers peel off from the Democrats to feed at that trough. And watch the Democrats have to explain why they are standing against working Americans.

What about a “Minority Child Education Opportunity Act” that requires districts to embrace charter schools, teacher tenure reform and simple processes to fire loser and/or pervert teachers in minority-majority school districts or they lose federal aid. Hey Democrats, why do you choose teacher union bosses over minority kids?

Let’s get behind an “Uber Freedom Act.” I don’t know what the heck it would be exactly, except something to force Democrat-run city and state governments not to bar youth-friendly upstart innovators from taking business from their corporatist hack supporters. Those crazy kids today love their Ubers; let’s make the Democrats the party of the dirty taxi and the stinky cabbie.

How about a law demanding the President personally review and consider commutation of every mandatory minimum drug sentence over 10 years to ensure they each meet our minimum standard of justice? Yeah, that would be a lot of work, but maybe President Putt-Putt can skip rounds 201 to 300 to take the time to review policies that devastate minority communities.

Oh, and no judges get confirmed. None. We need to teach these Senate hacks that the only way to win with the nuclear option is not to play.

Now, we don’t need to come out and say all this before the election. But we do need to think about why we are fighting so hard to take back the Congress. It’s not so senators can heave a sigh of relief and go back to business as usual strutting about the Hill. It’s so they can get up there and defeat the progressives who want to destroy our country.

You are right on the message the GOP SHOULD be for but I’m afraid they aren’t. My Congressman is Jeff Miller, R, FL-1. Just last Friday night he said that the TEA Party was a thing of the past.

We will not be able to count on him for anything. There are many more like him. They will continue to be Democrat-lite.

Is this guy a dreamer or what. “inner predator”? What the
GOP? Is he kidding? The only time the GOP shows any
“inner predator” or “joy of crushing our enemies” is when it
comes to their own base, the TEA Party. They have no problem
letting the Obama use the IRS against them. They have no
problem letting a baby Bush appointee rob them of justice
on the matter. They are spineless and they will remain spineless
no matter how big a majority they have. Voting for them is useless
and a waste of time.

Win? What is it 'we' win?

but maybe President Putt-Putt can skip rounds 201 to 300 to take the time to review policies that devastate minority communities.

How about a politician that reviews anti-white policies and laws?

No one is listening. The Whigs have already said that they will do away with the nuclear option, do nothing on DeathCare, pass amnesty and basically give Elmer Fudd everything he wants.

It is what happens in a one party regime. And still we hold our noses, vote the Whigs in and get disappointed, yet again.

This is underwhelming. Stopping Obama means stopping the fiscal mismanagement by his regime and this op ed ignores that

He's probably right.

For the same reason why he isn't talking about replacing Obamacare. Initiatives like that would require real solutions, and the GOPe cupboard is completely bare in that respect. Instead he's suggesting what, copyright reform? Now there's a burning issue. Unemployed suing illegal aliens? How the hell would that work? Commute drug sentences? What's the reason for that? The guy sounds like a complete idiot.

Psssssst...we’ve got to win first. I don’t even get my hopes up anymore. I just vote and watch at the returns, and lately with disbelief. If they voted Obama in again, hope turns thin, then the one the one thing we could count on let us down..,the supreme court. You cannot even think of counting chickens before they hatch today. I actually will be surprised at a Republican sweep...my expectations for my country are at an all-time low.

Clever article with some excellent points. However, if you mention the word “neuter” and Obama in the same sentence you are asking for a major sh!t storm to blow your way.

Republican women are kicking Dummy butt in Colorado--Sen Mark Udall/Uterus is a leering Planned Parenthood cartoon w/ his weirdo obsession w/ women's vaginas.

Just the other day, Udall sucked-up....but screwed-up--- introducing Michelle Obama---saying he's proud Americans judge people on the "content of their color". Udall bobbled Dr MLK's famous exhortation "to judge people on the content of their character.

But, hey, it could have been worse. At least Udall didn't say Michelle should be judged on the "content of her vagina" (/snix).

==============================================

The Wash/Post reports Democrat Udall's got a big problem---he has harped on the women's vote so often, he's been dubbed "Mark Uterus."

Coached by the DNC, Udall endorses free-for-all, no limits, abortion and has perfected the Democrat party line: "For the government to step in at any stage of the pregnancy to militarize a woman's vagina is the equivalent of enslaving a woman to the inconvenient fetus just because she had sex w/ some selfish male in heat. I urge women to place their own interests ahead of the fetal parasites feeding off her body."

Sen Udall's vigilant Vagina Oversight Commiitte includes:
Buddy Balzer. Nikita Genitalia, and Sheldon Sheather
(on-loan from Planned Parenthood's Protection-R-Us).

"I'm pleased to announce Hardy Thruster and Homer
Handworker have joined my vagina oversight team."

A (DHS) Intelligence Information Report (focusing on one small region of the vast US-Canadian border) reveals that as of September 9, 2014, there have been 155 encounters in the area “involving African nationals---344 Somalis, 21 Ethiopians, five Kenyans, two Djiboutians, and so on....

Days after the Canadian soldier was shot dead at the military shrine, a hatchet-wielding man, a member of the hallowed "religion of peace," savagely attacked and wounded NYC police officers. Later, kind and compassionate progressive City Officials said they "didn’t believe" the axe-killer had any connection to terrorism......

Of course not...only an intolerant racist would think this kindly man with an axe is (horrors) an actual "terrorist." In fact, the peace-loving axe-wielder meant no harm....he was here at the express invitation of the progressive Obama administration. Read on.

DHS SIGNS OFF ON Obama admin's law to let
into the US, immigrants with 'limited' terror contact

The Daily Caller | 2/5/14 / FR Posted by Nachum

The Obama administration has issued new exemptions to a law that bars certain asylum-seekers and refugees who provided “limited material support” to terrorists who are believed to pose no threat from the U.S.

The Department of Homeland Security and the State Department published the new exemptions Wednesday in the Federal Register to narrow a ban in the Immigration and Nationality Act excluding refugees and asylum seekers who had provided limited material support, no matter how minor, to terrorists.

“These exemptions cover five kinds of limited material support that have adversely and unfairly affected refugees and asylum seekers with no tangible connection to terrorism: material support that was insignificant in amount or provided incidentally in the course of everyday social, commercial, family or humanitarian interactions, or under significant pressure,” a DHS official explained to The Daily Caller.

Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson and Secretary of State John Kerry signed the exemptions. DHS contends that the law change is “commonsense” and that immigration procedures will remain the same in other respects. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...

==================================================

THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL: Americans demand to know what exactly did 2014 Democrat candidates do about Obama letting terrorists into the US.

<><>Colorado's Sen Mark Udall,

<><>Iowa's Cong Braley,

<><> Louisiana's Sen Mary Landrieu,

<><>Michigan's Gary Peters,

<><>Georgia's Michelle Nunn,

<><> North Carolina's Sen Kay Hagan,

<><> New Hampshire's Sen Jean Shaheen

<><> Minnesota's Sen Al Franken.

NOTE WELL---Kansas Senate candidate Greg Orman is running as an "independent"....but Orman exhibits all the signs of a tried-and-true Democrat: he's got a (sniffle) "Heart of Gold."

<><>he has given major contributions to Democrat candidates,

<><> Orman sucked-up to pro-abortion women, and,

<><> he's earned the endorsement of the AFL-CIO.

The buzz is Big Pharma is running out of digitalis---b/c Democrats are downing it like it was Skittles, in an effort to keep their "Hearts of Gold" beating til election day.

Bloomberg Politics reported that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee will be spending $1 million in an effort to defeat S/Dakota incumbent Repub Rounds -- a serious late-in-the-game investment for South Dakota’s relatively inexpensive media market. The news followed reports that Harvard Law professor Lawrence Lessig’s Mayday PAC would be spending $1 million to support Democrat Weiland.

Hey Democrats, why do you choose teacher union bosses over minority kids?

“When school children start paying union dues, that 's when I'll start representing the interests of school children.”

That notorious quote was from Albert Shanker, President of the Teachers Union (United Federation of Teachers).
