Speculate on why they didn't want it? I'm not privy to that sort of info but in a nutshell I suspect we should be girding ourselves for war from one or more of three directions - the Middle East, Russia, and/or China. This may very well lead to WWIII. Tin foiling it here, but I don't think the GOP thinks it'll blow up into a WWIII but if they don't get their heads on straight they won't be able to stop it once in motion. Foreign relations, the economy, food supplies, fuel, etc.... the whole feel of things lately has been leaning in that direction. Now that Hussein has divided the nation more and will fail miserably with his promises, our enemies will see us weakened and faltering and come in for the kill.

I believe you are right. The RNC knew there was NO WAY to win this year after the GWB disaster. I don’t know if it would have been possible. But honestly, BO was the absolute worst candidate the Dems could have submitted.

MAC’s campaign was horrible. Yet he came close.

Yep, we're doomed.

No known method exists to

"Stop Alinsky"

or

"Counter Alinsky"

And all we kept hearing was that Obama's past wasn't relevant.

And this is why.

I agree. Go to the freedom of information act for the F.B.I. and read about the Weather Underground. It was given that name because you do not need a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing. Obama referred to the righteous wind. They have made tremendous progress for the ultimate goal of the collapse of our imperialist system in order to replace it with a socialist system. They salivate at the opportunity of the pending chaos.

Do I dare place next to it the picture of the Obamafools dancing around in front of the White House Tuesday night waving the flag of the Soviet Union? Or will that get me into trouble with my headmaster for corrupting the youth? What would Socrates do?

I am open and up-front with the kids . . . more so since Tuesday. We have an extreme socialist on the faculty, a history teacher, in the next building over. I tell the kids that his classroom is the left wing of the campus, and from now on they can consider my classroom to be the right wing.

Mark Levin has been pounding this theme for months. Our liberal and so-called “moderate” friends will blow this off as though we're just paranoid, or sour grapes. A good portion of the ‘American Idol’ electorate simply has no interest in delving into these issues.

Indeed, e Weather Underground, through their Trojan horse, has seized the reins.

Well like the RINOs, the defeatists like the author of this article need to be purged from the party. Nothing easy is worth having. The MSM isn’t fair..waaaaa. Nancy Pelosi is a mean partisan....waaaaa Obama will use his DoJ...waaaaaa. So then stay home and suck your thumb wimp. Reagan did it with no blogs, 3 networks and ALL the newspapers arrayed against him. It’s easy to get negative and give up, it’s what liberals and sunshine patriots do. I think in 4 years conservatism will have fertile ground again after years of Obama malaise, scandal , apathy and God forbid foreign policy disasters.

So did Chairman Mao.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

~~Marcus Tullius Cicero

Jimmy Carter was a fool, Barak Hussein Obama....

I've been thinking about this Alinsky thing. We should all become well versed in his rules. Any articles or broadcast transcripts should be checked with a RED pencil for the Alinsky tactics and sent back to the MSM with these areas marked and the notation: We are on to you!

Let the public know they are being manipulated BIG TIME.

It was no coincidence that the Obama victory celebration was held at Grant Park in Chicago, the scene of antiwar riots at the Democratic Party convention 40 years earlier. It was as symbolic as Hitler forcing the defeated French to sign an armistice in the very same rail car where the Germans surrendered in World War I. Even the odd choice of Obama and his family dressed in black and red was symbolic. Black and red are the respective colors of anarchism and Marxism. New Left and black militant banners of the 1960s used these colors.

The next few years will be very ugly. The American Spectator article is very perceptive.

Yes, and it is included in the freedom of information act FBI pages for the Weather Underground. There is a lot of information and they have been patient and accomplished a lot. The youth movement, the working class, the underclass, the organizers, it is all written out for all to read and understand where we are.

I’d put a picture of Obama between the Ayers flag-stomping photo and the commie flag wavers, with his “spread the wealth around” quote underneath.

Jack Cashill’s invaluable work in exposing the 99.999% likelihood that terrorist “neighbor” Bill Ayers wrote “Dreams From My Father” for Obama would also make for great class discussion.

And the Obamessiah, still speaking frequently to stadia full of admirers, will provide a tone of reasoned moderation, combined with further appeals to hope, in order to justify it all.

These are the sorts of things Alinskyites do. These are the sorts of tactics used by ACORN, at whose conferences Obama himself regularly taught seminars on "power." These are the sorts of policies favored by the academic left, Obama's old milieu -- the policies that favor speech codes and stolen campus newspapers and the firing of faculty for "offensive" remarks.

Normally a free press would be the safeguard - but they've converted to "Baghdad Bobs" without so much as a whimper...

I refuse to believe that we as a nation would let these people roll the country over. The election was about electing a black man and defeating George Bush. They've done that, but now they have to lurch forward shackled with little or no agenda other than "change" and the lowest approval rating Congress may have yet known.

Sooner or later, they will over reach. Sooner or later allegiances within the party will fracture. How well will the Clinton people mingle with the Obama peeps? How long before someone or some country or group decides to see what they can get away with? Biden said we aren't going to like how they handle it and for once, I believe him.

At some point, just like with Bush and the republicans, a line will be crossed, the luster will be gone and no number of Chrissy Mathews tingles will change that. They are simply too fundamentally radical and there are volumes of history just waiting for public opinion to find them.
