Being decent Judeo-Christian people, we just don’t have the stomach to fight them on their terms.

We need to get the stomach to fight them on their own terms. Judeo-Christian civilization might not exist today if the Roman emperors Leo III and Constantine IV had not rallied Christian soldiers to fight back with ferocity against the Muslim hordes.

We may hold Christian values, but sometimes we need to fight like Old Testament warriors.

Gotcha’, but emphasize that the only solutions are returning to the free market.

Good example...

The other day there was a thread about this bureaucrat in Oregon who fined the Christian bakery for refusing to cater a gay wedding, and then slapped a gag order on them.

His home address is easily Googleable, and his daughter is an actress currently appearing in a well-publicized stage play.

If the tables were turned the Left would have angry, threatening mobs of protesters on the guy’s lawn and at his daughter’s play.

Do you really think we would fight fire with fire like THAT?

Fully agreed. In 1994 the best action for the free market was to do nothing IMHO. Now it would take active steps to get us back to one.

Well there was the Tea-Party. A million of them went to Washington in 2009 to demonstrate Obama policies that got minimal to no media attraction. Only daily mail UK covered the story. See link below.

Then the media outcry came and labeled them as kooks. Then of course for reasons beyond me, Republican elite distanced themselves from the Tea Partiers.

The reason is pretty simple. The initial issue that got the Tea Party going was anger over the bailout of Wall Street with taxpayer funds. (strangely this was the one area on which the Tea Party and OWS were in near total agreement)

A revolution against bailouts and crony capitalism caused the Chamber of Commerce types to begin soiling their diapers. Hence they started calling in their chips from all of their GOPe politicians they had bought and paid for.

Also,IMHO, women (half of us) are the biggest reason America has declined like it has. Soccer moms, single moms, teachers, the tattooed and pierced.

Their emotion-based, illogical, appearance-based, faux guilt-ridden, feminized, uninformed voting is destroying us. They put Hussein over the top, and they’ll put Shrillary over the top next.

And Democrats keep on using them and putting them away wet, just like blacks.

First misnomer the Republican Revolution brought us a Conservative Congress.

How much did the so-called Conservative Congress actually cut the budget? Not "spent less than was originally projected" but actually spent less dollars in say 1998 than they did in 1997?

Congress has not been anywhere near Conservative since the Great Depression. They have just been slightly less Socialist.

Because we let them. It’s time to get nasty. Paramilitary nasty. Black Panthers did it for Obama.

There actually is a pretty easy way to bring it back. That would be pay-by-means walk in clinics, where everyone had to pay some minimum amount. Those who wanted to use the clinics but be insured could get private insurance, either through the clinic or on their own. Those who pay their own bills would be given a list of options and their prices.

Some drug stores are already set up for this.

Prices would go down and lower-cost options would become more available if people weren't subsidized to get the most expensive stuff.

The best way to solve a problem is keep it simple.

I just assume it is because human beings are inherently evil (Jer. 17:9), and evil policies eloquently expounded by evil politicians resonate with an evil populace.

No, liberals win because they never concede defeat. They fall back, regroup and attack over and over again. Read “The Art of War” if you get a chance.

“The republican principle demands that the deliberate sense of the community should govern the conduct of those to whom they intrust the management of their affairs; but it does not require an unqualified complaisance to every sudden breeze of passion or to every transient impulse which the people may receive from the arts of men, who flatter their prejudices to betray their interests.” ― Alexander Hamilton

Dem strategists understand this, that’s why they fight dirty. “It’s the economy, stupid”, “war on women”, etc. When have Republicans ever come up with an in-your-face slogan like those? GOP leaders seem to think each Presidential campaign is a debating club, where you get points for being polite. So they continue to lose, because they always make sure a “get-along” wimp, not a fighter, gets the nomination. WRONG - you get rewarded for destroying your opponent, by any means possible. Why can’t Repub leaders & strategists understand this?? BTW, That’s also why Trump scares the crap of these “party leaders”.

Well said, sir. Well said indeed.

Sun Tzu. Everyone should read that. View what this administration is doing, including Jade Helm 15, through that lens. Know your adversary.

Ann Coulter stated one time that she would gladly give up her right to vote if all women had to, also.

The problem is Conservatives are happy to live their lives as they choose while allowing others to do the same.

Collectivists, particularly “progressives” insist on assuming complete control over every facet of every citizen’s life.

“They” includes the main stream media.

Obama never blinks or compromises (unless it is in dealings with our foes and enemies).

He is the most stubborn, strong-willed bully and narcissist I have ever seen, but it pays huge dividends for him. Everyone around him caves (except, again, our true enemies).
