[Alas Babylon!]

Well, maybe it is emotions that lead me this way, my FRiend.

However, we just bought a large screen tv last week, and my son and eye just had a marathon viewing of the entire Lord of the Rings, Extended Editions, and it left me glum.

Due to the unceasing sniping of the DBM-Leftist Alliance, the conservative government of Australia has fallen. I think the USA is next.

We must fight them now, if we're going to succeed in bring Radical Islam under control, or it will devour us in our weakness. Whatever the President thinks, I wonder if he realizes the extent of EVIL that the LEFT is in this world, in its blind lust to regain power?

I am not comfortable with the Left having their way with setting the agenda. Think about how different things would be if the idiocy of L'affair de Plame, Abu Grahb, Katrina, and a thousand other points of nonsense hadn't been used to successfully pillorize the President in his efforts to protect us.

I'd rather have a safer world than political power, but it can't be done. We have to win here at home before we can win in the world. And winning here at home means knocking the Left out politically. Not "silently suffering" them. JMHO.

Great post AB,hopefully the next pubbie President will speak out more against the DBM and the social commies that run the DNC and its coreless party.

I am just listening to Huckabee and McCain on FNS now, and both men are speaking from the position of assumption that CIA agents tortured detainees.

Can’t we have a little loyalty to the men who interrogated those terrorist-criminals from the Republican candidates, at least.

I have enjoyed reading the thread today, including the food-fight.  What is interesting is both sides argue as though they disagree when I think there is more agreement than disagreement.  People have to remember, THIS IS a "in-house discussion" as we try to figure out which candidate we want to support and which one we believe would be our best standard bearer.  No doubt, our side is more animated on this than the Democrats are but that's okay too.

I'm not convinced Hillary is ordained as their candidate, and I wonder if Obama isn't a flash in the pan as Democrats wake up to how badly Hillary will do.  IF she wins their nomination it will be a result of Democrats willingness to believe anything and Hillary's organization putting pressure on their members.  Add in her ability to get donations and it is going to be hard to replace her.

Yeah, conservatives lost in Australia but we won in both Germany and France and the UK is trending more conservative from what I have seen.

The greatest challenge all of us face is educating voters, especially independent or unaffiliated voters.  To be honest, Republicans have not done this well in past years.  Republicans have to learn to be proactive instead of reactive.  We must begin amassing better support from Republicans who are our major donors, as the Democrats have successfully done, to combat the left.

In Colorado, three or four Democrats created the funds for party building.  There is no equivalent group of Republicans doing this.  My point is, Democrats are organized under the new campaign laws and Republican haven't figured out how to combat it.  IF we lose that will be the real underlying reason.  Look at both parties websites and the distinction is disappointing.  The similar sites around the country I have seen are no better. 

This is not doom and gloom but hopefully a wake up call for all of us to do more and do better.  The MSM is putting the open CO US Senate seat in the Democrat column for a pick up next year.  Don't believe it.  Our past major races had moderate and centrist Republicans running.  This time we have a fantastic, proud conservative Bob Schaffer who will represent us and I confidently predict he will beat the Boulder liberal Mark Udall.
