Well, as Rush says, "We're in a war!"

What can we take from this? What are our enemies' weaknesses?

Should we take this discussion private so as not to disclose our tactics? If so, what's a good way to do that? Yahoo Groups by invite only? private chat?

The biggest problem:

“Know the enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles you will never be in peril.”

I'm not sure the Republicans know who they are yet. They need to figure this out, pronto!

The enemy’s biggest weakness is that they are not on the side of truth. Another is that they are governed by their feeeeeelings. I try to keep on the offensive with the truth and get the enemy to respond with their injured feeeeeelings. Don’t let them start the discussion, and if they do, take charge of it, and watch them fall to pieces.

Sun Tzu tactics are very wise, in a political sense.

Also, I say we take a close look at the non violent, peaceful demonstrations that eventually brought down communist regimes in Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Budapest, and eventually Moscow, even with an impressive State Controlled media arrayed against People Power. Gandhi overturning the British also has some very instructive points. The bottom line is that we can REALLY get these folks at the ballot box in 2010, which is only next year, less than 8 months away, with repeated demonstrations and phone/fax/email barrage campaigns to buttress it.

There are many historic parallels here in our struggle to hold back European Socialism here in the US here folks, with the way Obama, Axelrod, CNN and Napolitano are behaving.

But we have our Lech Walesa's I am convinced. We need SON OF TEA PARTY, or TEA PARTY II (like the man in the American colonial three pointed cap said, folks) and in the next two months in my opinion.

Conservatives are, by nature, not deceptive. Liberals are, by nature, liars and deceivers. We need to practice not divulging our alliances and our plans to our enemies who seek to destroy us.

We need to quietly build our armies without tipping our hands. We need to deceive the liberals that we are doing one thing while, in fact, doing something else.

We can exploit their weaknesses by knowing what they are and exploiting them. If they are afraid of our ability to organize counterattacks, we should keep them off balance by sending confusing signals and keeping them guessing and wasting energy on what we might do.

We also must do everything possible to divide them from their base and destroy any confidence in their leadership. We should organize protests at every turn and hold them publicly accountable for every negative event or public policy failure.

The essence of Sun Tzu's philosophy is you defeat the enemy's mind to defeat the enemy. You basically screw with his head until he doesn't know whether he's coming or going and whether you are coming or going, attacking or retreating.

Conservatives need to learn to be more unpredictable and surprising. The Palin candidacy threw the Obama campaign into a complete tailspin and we need to keep doing that to them day after day until they have no idea how to counter what we are doing.

Remember how Eisenhower kept the Germans guessing where the invasion of Europe would begin.

We can beat these liars and tyrants if we throw out the predictable RINO's who keep collaborating and betraying us and accept nobody into our ranks who will sell us out or betray our secret plans.

One of the most effective tactics is to use the enemy’s own principles and procedures against him. Our enemies have done this with great success, using our national conscience and principles of law to destroy the very things those laws were meant to protect. In the case of the Left, the only real principles that they hold are those of political correctness. We should attack using accusations of racism, accusations of hurting the :working families”, doing it “for the children”, etc.

In the simplest terms possible, there are two rules to successful strategy.

1) Attack your enemy where he is weak.

2) Get your enemy to attack you where you are strong.

Dare I say that their greatest weakness is that they depend on themselves or Satan? If we depend on God, how can we lose?

Of course if we are in the End Times, then Satan will seem to win temporarily. We know how that turns out, too.

The Rodents are power because they out hustled and out smarted us. Too many conservatives think, they can win just be being “pure of heart”. We need to develop effective tactics in order to win. As of right now, conservatives sink at tactics.

My first thought on the weakness of the enemy: The left have attacked the weakest in our society by taking over the curriculum in the schools and attacking the minds of children. These children have now grown into voters, many of whom now think with a leftist mindset. A simple example is how the global warming scare was forced into the schools around the world with the showing of AlGore’s movie. The children are frightened, and bring their fears home to mom and dad who ignorantly “feel” “something must be done about this!” Most of these kids are still quite young. What happens when they hit the voting booth? How are they indoctrinating in the telling of the founding of our nation? There was a caller to Rush’s show the other day, a former leftist, who made the point of the right having to take back the curriculum in the schools. I think he is right.

The truth.

We must all meet at Master Su Ha Chee's hermitage and train day and night to master the technique of the secret 5 drunken heavenly fist styles!
