Staying power. Reagan didn’t quit.
And a very optimistic form of patriotism. Reagan never disparaged his own country.
Strength through superior fire power.
Keep your guns nearby and your ammo dry.
And Atlas Shrugged.
Obviously Reagan did not defeat Marxism. It simply went underground to fight another day. And now...a marxist has gained control of the US. Doesn’t look much like a defeat to me.
First. He believed. After that, it was just details.
You have good points.
One way or another, Socialism will be demonstrated and people will see the light.
Anything we can do to speed up this process and shortening the learning curve is worth thinking about.
Sacrificing much for two or four years may give us a future. If we don’t, we have no future and neither do our kids.
Quit spending! It’s for the children! ;-)
A bankrupted federal government is part of the marxist’s plans. You have to take EVERYTHING away before you can give ANYTHING back.
Can you say EURO????
He bankrupt the Soviet Empire they could not keep up with our willingness to defend ourselves to whatever cost was necessary, their ideology was never defeated,
the plans they set in motion 40 years ago came to fruition last night, watch this video.

It came back
Hot Damn...Now we are talkin my language. We gotta vote...NOT PRESENT. Pull back. Do not help them. Stop them cold. Drop out. Let them screw it up so bad the moochers will beg us to help...But Noooo we do not. I like your plan.
Starve government schools of their pupils, remove your children from liberal colleges.
Do not join the military, do not reup.
Hide your income.
Exactly!!! We can do this easily. I am going to start an organization to demand all of his promises. This will expose socialism for the joke it is. I’m thinking ads and protests. FIGHT WITH ME BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!! more to come on Naked Emperor News
(Let's face it, we could use a few laughs courtesy of the late, great Phil Hartman)
I like this idea. I could call up Carl Levin, give him the name of the bank where my mortgage is held, and ask him how soon to expect the check. I think this would be a great letter-writing and phone-calling campaign.
Just do it totally matter-of-fact and straight-faced, like good old Aunt Jane innocently inquiring whether or not little Barry received the gift I sent, since I haven't gotten my thank you yet. I ignored most of what Obama said during the campaign, but I am sure we could go back and find the laundry list of promises.
I’d really like to see a clear plan for this that I can follow.
How do you fight half of America actually believing either that Obama isn’t a socialist or he is and they prefer to live under a socialistic society?
What again is the weak link in socialism? I believe its the ability of the government to actually deliver the goods they promised.
Will your gas and mortgage bills be paid by the government? what if something happens domestically that prevents that?
A year from now you who voted for Obama is living on a government stipend much like welfare, you have no desire to work, you probably cannot afford a new TV much less a car, forget about bling or even eating out.
Forget the American dream because you gave it up so you can sit in your house not being productive, you are now part of the dry rot of a future America.
I am on the verge of praying for a nuclear attack in the United States right now, any terrorist attack, something to wake up America.
You have made your bed, now sleep in it. That is unless you have to share it with your neighbore.
The socialists' system will always be overwhelmed by demand. Socialism begets infinite demand, regardless what it is. It's just human nature. Why work when the pies are free.
And then ... the money runs out, no country can print it forever.
Socialism doesn't fail, it just runs out of other people's money to give away. FDR is the best example of turning what was a bad situation into very near calamitous one. His 'New Deal' was the biggest raw deal America ever got. It did nothing to help the economy, it just paid people for what was essentially make work projects that had no lasting economy impact. That's the liberal blind spot, they don't trust people.
Reagan sapped what little extra money the Soviets had by spending on technology the Soviets could not match, because their economy could not produce it. Their economy could not generate more excess cash, implosion and total collapse.
We need to find that one pressure point, I am sure there will be plenty of options. Find it with the right timing, and poof goes the socialists. It may well be global warming.
If the current solar trends continue, before long it will be cold enough that everyone but the densest moron will realize that it's a hoax -- Pay more in taxes so government can pretend to control the weather. You couple that with the stupidity of the no drill policy and the idiocy of alternative fuels and it may in total be the key. Oil sprang up after it was clear Obama was going to win, the plan all along, so the need for cash by the oil producers is severe enough, they will constrict supply to raise prices.
When the market gets crazy, you should "park" your money. When the marxists get crazy, you should "park" your labor. I'm thinking of taking out a nice big student loan and heading back to school until this whole things blows over. That way I remove myself from the tax base but I don't take a hit to the resume.
The reason why we lost is because the electorate doesn’t realize the danger socialism poses. Our public education system and our liberal university professors have successfully indoctrinated our populace to see socialism, not as evil, but utopian. They’ve taught us the evils of capitalism and the arrogance of America. They’ve shown us that Christianity is a silly superstition and environmentalism is hip and cool.
My most conservative friends are articulate and intelligent. They also do not have a college degree.
That will take years to reverse. Even if Obama would have lost, there would have been another Obama, perhaps one that would have been tougher to beat.
Any solution would involve our education system. Conservatism needs to be marketed. Young patriots and Rush-babies are the future of the conservative philosophy.
It is the new counter-culture, and it needs its share of icons ands iconoclasts. It needs to be cool. Otherwise, any political victory is liable to be short-term, spitting in the wind.
