As Conservatives, we have to think strategically. As David Horowitz said "It's a War, stupid". The Leftists own the Democrat party- they *own* it. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool. Anyone who votes for *ANY* Democrat is either a Socialist or a fool for socialism.

The Democratic Party is an organization. Allowing it to grow and sustain itself gives the Leftists the room to insert their ideology. The worst situation is when we let the PC Left to so demonize conservative ideas that even Republicans dont stand up for them. The GOOD news is that the Democrats have managed to marginalize themselves ... Watch and see if Bush can make the GOP a naional majority party just like he did in Texas. If we truly get that, it is a HUGE blow to the Left. One more election and we will see if the re-alignment is for real.

We know that many organizations besides the Democrat party have been "corrupted" by the left.MANY. Rich Foundations, Universities, the AAUW, the Legal organizations. Other professional groups. Sierra Club, etc. Defending freedom is MUCH MORE than picking R over D every 2 years in a voting booth. Indeed, that is perhaps 2% of it. the Other 98% is making sure the R's really are "on our side", getting the message out in defense of conservative values, and standing up to things that are wrong and immoral (eg GOvt corruption etc.)

we need to fight the beast on many levels. One way is to defeat and marginalize their organizations, while building our own.

I admire Jim Robinson for his activist work here. He has built a community to defend America and freedom. When you have an organization like that, it can be a source of strenght to us indidividuals, it can help amplify our efforts and channel it to be most effective (aka "Unity is Strength" united we stand).

I'm proud to call myself a "freeper".

Very well said. This is why I advocate not only voting for the Republicans, but to make them understand why we're voting for them. Write to them often. Call them at their offices. Visit with them personally. Make sure they understand completely why we choose them over the leftist Democrats and what we expect them to do when they take office. And more than that. Get involved in the local campaigns and local party activities. Seek out and promote the very best new conservative blood we can find and get them voted into any elected office we can. Keep pushing and promoting them up the ladders while bringing new conservative blood in.
