Excellent article
Beautifully written.
I believe the voter fraud part of this story. There is just no way Obama could have won EVERY single toss up state, except what, North Carolina? It just doesn’t seem plausible...
The machine doesn’t care about individuals. It only counts bloc votes. It doesn’t care about making life better for people. Its genius is for finding ways to make life worse because it knows that it has more leverage over people looking for the next meal than over people looking to buy a house in the suburbs. The political machine doesn’t budget; it loots. It breaks the bank, raises taxes, drives out industries and rules over war zones divided between the rich and the poor.
Divide and conquer. Divide and conquer. Divide and conquer—and count on the narcotics gangs to do most of the job the police used to do. The gangs keep things orderly enough, plus instead of costing cities tax dollars, they deliver substantial sums of money to the Democratic [sic] party, plus they keep the workers and peasants in a state of constant fear.
Who said oligarchs don't care about efficiency?
Daniel Greenfield has written a masterpiece.
We can’t break this power without first cracking through, if not smashing, the enabling control of the low info voter’s news media: i.e. the old media.
Our Founders never dreamed a FREE PRESS would climb into bed with such a big government, one party political machine.
Marxist bump
The author should cite an instance or I will believe he's talking about the tired old canard of the election of 1960, when if all of Illinois electoral votes had gone to Nixon, he still would have lost to Kennedy.
+1. This column doesn't just lay it at the feet of Democrats. It also applies to RINOs and Wall Street crony capitalists that enable those bent on destroying America.
Amen!
Civil (or uncivil) disobedience. Seriously.
Whatever it takes.
It can be broken the old fashioned way: siege. Three days without food and water and that “machine” will eat itself.
Why can’t the old media be defeated? They can be attacked through their sponsors. We must use Alinsky tactics on the sponsors of media propaganda.
Hopefully, someone will show up who can do that. Relying on the Republican Party to do so would be like relying on Monty Python to win the Crusades.
We have to get on it!
A huge, organized effort.

I disagree.
I think voter fraud plays only a small role.
For the last 20 years Democrats have relentlessly increased their focus on voter turnout.
By 2008 and 2012 the voter participation rate for Blacks was almost the same as whites.
Hispanic participation has also dramatically increased in recent elections.
And, Democrats have brilliantly increased participation by Left-leaning white voters, like poor white single women.
You mentioned North Carolina.
My best friend's sister and brother-in-law are both paid six figure salaries to run a non-profit organization in North Carolina that is exclusively focused on voter registration and turn out for poor white women.
The GOP faces a number of problems that may have no solution:
Demography - the non-white Hard Left population is growing much faster than the white Conservative population.
Temperament - the Democrats can easily convince 200 Blacks to walk out of church on Sunday, get on buses, and vote early. Conservatives are much more independent and self-reliant. I would never do that, and I think most other Conservatives feel the same way.
I used to live in the SF bay area and there are so many non profits making so much money “educating” people as to why those greedy for profits need to pay more taxes. What a scam.
Exactly.
I would also guess that my friend’s sister gets federal or state money, too, but I have never asked her.
If her organization does not conspicuously support one party or another, I’ll guess her work qualifies as taxpayer funded “outreach.”
I researched a few organizations. Most of them presented themselves as education (for social issues) or some BS like that, then when I researched who they were funded by, a lot of it was big liberal orgs like Tide Foundation, labor unions,etc.
