After 2010, the numbers were crunched, and it was clear that Obama and the Democrats could not win a mainstream campaign. Instead, they targeted narrow groups, stirred up conflicts over issues aimed at that group, whether it was union pensions, racism or birth control. There was no more pretense of a national election, only a frenzied rush to polarize as many groups as possible and join them together into an acrimonious coalition, not so much for anything, as against Republicans.

This excellent analysis must be passed along the internet from coast to coast. The Left is scared spitless that Americans might be catching on to Obama’s divide and conquer campaign.

My fear of Romney is that is he pro-socialized medicine, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual marriage, pro-big government, and anti-second amendment.

Romney understands that much of his base shares these fears, and so he is running to the right on all of this issues. His rhetoric has improved, but one wonders if his core values have improved.

What would happen if Romney truly ran on his record? "Look at what I've done! I brought homosexual marriage to the first state in the union! I'm pro-abortion! I invented Government health Care! If you like Democrat principles, vote for me! If you wanted to vote for Anyone But Obama, vote for me! I'm not the scary, divisive, anti-American guy with the questionable background! Bring America together by throwing Obama out and bringing in some sound Democrat values!!"

Romney might win on a platform like that. He could run as an Al Gore/Mike Dukakis/Walter Mondale Democrat.
I'm not at all sure that Romney will win on the rhetoric he's using now.

Excellent article. This is a message that needs to sweep this nation. The only way I can think of now is for the Patriots, who still love this nation, to get articles like this out to the general public via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter..... or however we need to do it.

I’ve got to believe that there are more sensible people in America than there are Kool-Aid drinking libs. They’re just politically lazy and not up-to-speed on just how dangerous Barack Obama and the leftist are.

He has been the President of ... Bill Gates...

This is the part I don't get. Unlike those other guys, Gates built MS from the ground up by the sweat of his own brow and the work of his own hands making products that people bought with their own money in a free market transaction (ok back before they became an all controlling monopolistic evil empire). Maybe the problem is that to be a megabillionaire you have to be a statist.

Limousin liberalism must be a disease. The ink from all those federal reserve notes creates some sort of variant of mad cow disease.

Just superb. Obama's stealthy takeover is dissected in this article piercing right through his phony, lofty pretenses, and laying bare his transformation-by-destruction hope and change pact with his chosen ones. You know, the usual suspects.

20 replies over five days? Embarrassing. And pretty much says it all.

This is an excellent article.

Beyond its value in coalescing my understanding of the issues and enlightening me with new perception, I wrestle with what value the article could have to the independent voter. I fear that they would dismiss it, since it is based upon many premises that only movement conservatives understand and accept. Taking Greenfield's piece as a starting point, our task is to address every misconception and assumption that is being used by the Democrats to mislead each interest group. For example, the need for competition to reduce health care costs. This piece helps solidify our philosophic understanding as we make the 'micro' arguments. By that I mean a high level view of what is going on, for which Greenfield is helpful.
