Nice thoughts, but for reassurances to work they have to ring true. The majority of Americans did not opt out of voting and the Dems were not rattled. (Hint: They are never rattled and the GOPe always is.)
Ridiculous. "Enclaves" is exactly how the left has stolen the southwest. Mexican enclaves grow until they begin to elect their own, and they are leftists 2 to 1. It's racist top to bottom. Same thing with the Blacks, only more so.
There is no assimilated American ideal anymore, which was the only hope we had to remain a union of common ground Americans. We are all divided into enclaves now.
All very true, no side has truly lost until they surrender.
But conservatives have to organize if they are to take the country back. We can’t depend on the GOP, they’ve gone to the dark side, and the Tea Party has already been Palinized.
However we do it though, we have to unite and take on the media and voter fraud. We have to!

The author was obviously watching a different election than I was.
Must be a real "glass is half full" kind of person.
We still own the House and we increased (R) at governors' level. We own 23 state houses/senates and governorships outright.
We fight just like "cripplecreek" said: we take over the state party apparatus, like in MI and WI, and IN, and OH, etc.
Ignore the grumbling gas bags around here: the third party types, the self-righteous and self-important.
Refuse to be painted in to the MSM's defeatist trap.
Remain aware of the roughly 30-year cycles of US politics: the 1770's, the 1800's, 1830's, 1860's, 1890's, 1920's, the 1950's, the 1980's, and now, the 2010's.
FReegards!
Republicans might understand what this means if they weren't busy with an opportunistic internal civil war.
I have given up. This last election was our last hope, and the takers finally won. Every day, I walk around with a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, knowing that my country is now fully in the hands of Marxists. I feel like I am watching a horror movie, nerves on edge, waiting for the next horrifying event to take place. Then, I realize I AM in that movie, and the horrifying events are really happening.
I have never been more distressed by an election in my life, and that goes back a ways.
In my neighborhood people didn't stay home. They turned out in massive numbers. Everything I hold near and dear wasn't defeated in my neighborhood. It was routed, steam rollered, hammered, overwhelmed and paraded to show what a sap I am to think the way we do.
I may have been distressed if Obama had lost a close election. It would have been depressing to think he could get a significant minority to vote for a guy who despises the country the way he does. The fact that the majority feels that way suggests to me that it's over.
None of this means Obama's policies...the salient ones he has succeeded in implementing, by the way...are other than catastrophic. Nevertheless, perhaps Mr. Greenfield can explain to me how even a conservative victory in four years will succeed in disenfranchising any of it. At best sensible people may someday get a chance to tinker around the edges. And what will cause the conservatives to suddenly become a majority?
Obama has wanted to destroy major industries in this country. What is slowing him down?
Who plans to stop him for even the next two years? Boehner? Now that should prove entertaining to watch. We can start an over-under board as to how long it will take the House to cave on every issue.
The Supreme Court? In four years we will probably lose at leat one and probably two more justices while Roberts keeps growing and maturing.
Obama is at war with the Catholic Church. I think even a majority of Catholics voted for him. I hope I'm wrong, but don't think so.
We hear day after day that minorities are getting more conservative, or that hysterical line that blacks are really conservative...just ask them about issues. It looks to me like minorities are getting more liberal. That has been the trend my entire life.
Sorry for the downer post. I'm not going to change my beliefs in this world, I just never see them prevailing. I almost think we would be better off standing aside and let Obama complete the destruction. We're paying for his policies with monopoly money now. Maybe when there is nothing left, we might be able to get something the tiniest bit usable from the ashes.
I would never have believed a guy could run on a platform of hatred and destruction as Obama has, succed in making huge and growing numbers of people more miserable by the day, and attract a majority to say, "Yes, yes, give us more." When he makes things even worse, I wonder if it won't make his majority even larger.
If we didn't lose this election, really lose it hard, I sure hope I can become one of the uncaring before a real loss comes along.
I’d liked to snort the same white powder that you’re snorting. It was a monumental defeat. Obamacare guarantees votes for the Communists until doomsday (”The Republicans are trying to take away your health care!) just as FDR’s SoShecurity had done, which is the only thing such programs are about, and the likes of Romney are either too shy or too clueless to expose it for what it is. And Obamacare was passed without a single vote from the oposition, what do you think is going to happen now? Eye One thinks he has a mandate to erect statues of Josif V. Stalin in Every American city and you can do nothing about it. Don’t forget that our purrfect 18th Constitution has us elect a King George for 4 years of nearly unlimited, unchecked power, as evidenced by the past 4 years, don’t kid yourself.

I generally like this author, but I think he needs to put down the hopium pipe. This election was repudiation of what we hold dear by the majority of the electorate. Much as the author would seem to like to deny that, it is what it is. There are some silver linings in the clouds, but if the author thinks that we are going to see another conservative renaissance across this country then he’s plainly delusional.
We’re at that point where I think we need to decide what a realistic victory looks like. Conservatives are in control throughout the south and most of the west. The west coast and northeast are hopeless.I think a divorce in some sense is probably inevitable. How that salts out is going to be much more important than whether the failed gop gets a few more seats.
