The ACLU, NAMBLA, GLAAD, GLESN, PFLAG,PAW,NOW, etc, are ALL abolished forever, to be replaced by pro-life, pro-family organizations, like BOND, CWA, Promise keepers, and so on.
That Idea isn't new - ist has already been tried before. The political term is "Gleichschaltung", if I remember correctly.

Trouble is, it did'nt really work then, and it certainly won't work here. Lets, for example, think for a second about one of the organizations on your list, the National Organization of Women, NOW. That one has quite a few members. Now when you abolish this organization, what do you think those members will do ?

History tells us they will join other, organizations that have not been abolished. Assume such an organization is, say, Focus on the Family (no idea if they are actually membership based - lets just assume they are). After one or two rounds of votes, how do you think Focus' board will look like ? Or, say, it's chapter in News York City ?

Would you bet that Focus would not morph into a pro choice organiaztion within a few years ? And what happens after that ? Well, the conservative members, now in the minority and rather unhappy with its new stance, will leave to form another organization.

Basically, after a little ripple back and forth, all will be the same as before - things have just new names. After round two or three you will either give up or have to put up more drastic measures. You might, for instance, criminally sanction the support of undesirable points ov view (like that abortion should be legal). Or, you could institute some laws disallowing people holding those views to join any kind of organization. (You will of course also have to outlaw them forming new organizations).

If history tells us anything, you will ultimately fail. If you are lucky your compatriots will regard the intermezzo of your and your friend's reign a sorry interlude, a stain the nation's otherwise polished honour. If you are not so lucky, you will be hated and despised by generations to come. And, of course, you and your friends stand a decent chance to end on the swinging end of some rope in a cold winter night, in front of some makeshift revolutionary comando. Once you start putting people in prison for not agreeing with yourt opinion, real friends will be hard to come by. Oryou could rot in some jail until life's end, because your buddy Amos, who is Minister of Religion, put you there under the accusation of secrtely supporting a homosexual agenda, and since you outlawed all dissent, well, there's nobody left to argue with good old Amos. (And all that because Amos is mad at you for flirting with his mistress) [My apologies to the rest for pulling a Goodwin.]

Gosh, that's awfully cheerful.

So, what's your solution?

Notice that I used the word "solution". The problem being to abate the baleful influence, and roll back the gains, of these minoritarian Alinskyites (pardon the pleonasm -- Leftists have always been minoritarian, never moreso than when they called themselves Bolsheviki) at the expense of decent people in the moral majority?

You might also address the disconnect between your foreboding about the future of conservative activism, as you expressed it above, and the career trajectory of the Left so far, whose activists and opportunists, like the odious Morris Dees of the Southern Poverty Law Center, have waxed fat and arrogant instead.

So ,would you rather have things go to the point where it is ILLEGAL to speak bad of the gay lifestyle, and pedophila, and where "normal" marriage is forever lost?

Maybe you missed it-- but in my fantasy(which you should go back to the original thread and read ALL of, to get my point),the MORALS of people would change, to where there would be no DESIRE for those kind of groups, and the public(NOT some dictator), would see that they were out.
