I agree that the grass roots of the Republican party is where the moles do the work of undermining and pushing the party to the left. They have now made their way to the top tiers in many places. I also agree that the party is the place to fight the battles to move back towards the right. I also agree, that few recognize the fact, and that is the reason for my pessimism about the future.
With what I have written above in mind, all I have to do to remind me to vote for Republicans, is to read some of the drivel in the local liberal rag, yahoo news or DU. There are fellow citizens within this nation that so hate this country, they spray spit when emoting. Those people are the core of the Dims.
"You write very much like David Horowitz,"
Thanks for the complement.
"and along the same line. I would say that there are quite a few that agree with your points about the lefts infiltration, and they are scattered throughout the nation."
I hope you are right. I suppose I am discouraged by the relatively small number I run into here on the Free Republic.

It's good to hear of another person looking at things this way.

No doubt. Essentially, Democrats live in a closed social system. Any one who does not go along experiences increasing friction---as I myself did (having been born into a Jewish Liberal world and still basically living among the same type of people.) Eventually, if a person breaks completely with their thinking and becomes a Republican, as I did---he or she becomes ostracized.
Rather than face this, most people trundle along the path. The Left is quite accommodating, in its own way. Each individual submission they demand is small. Then at a certain point, even if a person becomes aware of the fact that they are entering a kind of slavery---they have lost their will to fight.
For many, such as the DU posters you refer to, it is more comfortable to completely abandon reason itself and to identify with the Left, then to continue to experience any dissonance between perception of reality and what the Left says. In fact, it could easily be argued that you and I are the ones who are not in touch with reality---the MSM of the entire world, most of the governments of the world, everyone is saying the same thing. We are the only aberration. Once we lose our political power, everything will be "fine".
Personally, one of the most striking things I have noticed recently is the way Schroeder went directly from being Chancellor of Germany to being a high paid executive in Gazprom. This shocked me, not because it indicated that Schroeder was an agent of Russia---that was obvious to me. I was shocked at the fact that Russia does not have to hide it! Yet, unless I'm missing something, there has been no reaction worldwide whatsoever---and I include the conservative media here.
