Conservatives may not realize just how difficult it might be to recover from this week's elections.
The day after the big defeat, the conservative chatter everywhere was about how the "movement" and the Republican Party (two different things) could finally unshackle themselves from the bad old habits that brought them down, and about how the ability to draw a sharp contrast with the Obama/Pelosi/Reid triumvirate would allow us to focus attention, rally the faithful, and re-storm the castle in 2010 and 2012.
Fat chance.
Too many conservatives think we've seen all this before -- in 1964 and 1974 and 1992 -- and that we know how to handle it. Fly, meet ointment: We're not dealing with the same sorts of opponents. These New Alinskyites who are taking over the White House, combined with the most leftist congressional leadership in memory, will not let us play by the same rules under which conservatives recovered from those earlier debacles. They will try to drastically tilt the playing field, seed our side of the field with land mines and, in short, rig the process to make it next to impossible for the political right, or Republicans, to recover. And they are likely to succeed in at least some of these designs.
It will begin with their efforts to secure a filibuster-proof majority of 60 senators (including the two independents). Right now the libs (and yes, all the Democratic senators, with the possible exception of Nebraska's Ben Nelson, are libs) have 56, with three Republican moderates and one conservative leading their races but awaiting recounts or runoffs. Watch for the Alinskyites to try stealing all four, and to succeed in at least two. We've seen this game before. They did it in Indiana's "Bloody Eighth" congressional district in 1984.

One cheery (slightly) thought is that there is no honor among theives. When I’ve put centipedes (big ones) in a jar, the next morning there was only one left, he’d eaten his fellows.
Communist countries are histories of purges, knives in the back, executions, etc.
They do not love each other. Those who lust for power envy and hate each other, too. They have black hearts, the skin color means nothing. When Obama doesn’t dance exactly how his masters want him to dance, there will be severe in-fighting. IMO Obama is merely a figurehead, I think he is very unintelligent and cannot think on his feet or speak without a script. His masters plan to pull the strings.
It’s going to be a very interesting time - riveting - and IMO everyone should be stocking up right now on ammo, storable food and whatever else you need. I see rough waters ahead, not just a continuation of what has been.
I've always wanted to ask one of these morons, if we are imperialists where the hell is this "empire" of ours?
Here’s an interesting article about how and when groundwork
began, and how it worked. (Alinsky tactics)

>>> ...and from now on they can consider my classroom to be the right wing. <<<
Good! It is time for children to learn that more than one opinion is available. Conservative teachers have to recognize that people who hold left-wing ideology in their hearts have been vocal in the classroom for the past 40 years, while conservatives have followed the “rule” of respecting the classroom as being “non-political.”
The reconversion of our nation, if possible, will have to start with today’s students, just as the movement which allowed a majority of American voters to think that Obama is an acceptable choice for the most powerful position in the world, started in the 1960s.
A few days before this election I heard a stat that convinced me that Obama would win: Forty percent of babies born in America are born to single women.
End of our country as the nation that was founded on the principle of strong family and independent endeavor.
Conservatives may not realize just how difficult it might be to recover from this week’s elections.

I realize it. I worked within the War on Poverty in the late ‘60s, and watched the black urban family be destroyed, in the name of “helping” eradicate poverty. Fathers were driven from homes; mothers became married to their government check, their warehousing in projects, and their view that they would be ‘taken care of’ by others.
I could not believe that this trend would be allowed to continue, but it did, until the Gingrich Revolution in 1994 - which the dncmedia immediately began to demonize, and did not stop until Newt was driven from his position of power.
PS: The gains in social and economic conditions were then attributed to Bill Clinton instead of the Republican Congress.
Obama and his enablers aren’t stupid, and so we must assume that they will have learned from Clinton’s early mistakes (which led to Gingrich, etc.). Wouldn’t it make more sense to slowly implement the socialist agenda?
You can bet that they’re planning the timing of their major initiatives right now.
And, like the election cycle, Obama will rely on the MSM to be his propaganda instrument.
So I come to the conclusion that others have reached: we’re screwed.
Excellent article, but Hillyer forgot to add the illegal alien amnesty to the mix. With 20 million new voters, Obama will have no trouble creating incredible supermajorities within 4 years. He can even direct them to certain states that are close, like Colorado, NC, MO, and Ohio by use of public works projects that hire them. Tip the balance in a few places, and he will have 63 Senators in 4 years, 70 in 8. By then, he will have enough to amend the Constitution and run for a third term.
PING!

Obama an Early Student of Man Who Dedicated Book on Community Organizing to Satan
By Kathleen Gilbert
WASHINGTON, D.C., October 29, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In a Fox News blog column last week, contributing columnist and writer James Pinkerton re-examines a low-lying, but indisputable connection in Sen. Obama’s history that, he says, voters should know about. The lines connecting Barack Obama and Saul Alinsky have in the past been explored in some detail, including in a lengthy piece published in the Washington Post in March of 2007, but have largely flown under the radar in the final leadup to November 4.
“Could Lucifer play a role in this presidential election?” writes Pinkerton in his column.
“It may sound crazy, but one of the candidates in this race has publicly praised, even emulated, a writer-activist who himself paid tribute to Lucifer. Thats right, Lucifer, also known as the Devil, Satan, Beelzebubyou get the idea.
Pinkerton wryly observes, “If youve never heard of this true fact - and most Americans obviously havent - well, that might help to explain why John McCain is behind in the polls.”
Pinkerton explains that Obama was a disciple of Saul Alinksy, the Chicago agitator who wrote key works on the methods of left-wing revolutionaries.
In one such book, “Rules for Radicals,” Alinsky wrote: Lest we forget at least an over the shoulder acknowledgement of the very first radical, from all our legends, mythology, and history the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdomLucifer.
Sen. Obama is on the public record as being an avid admirer of Saul Alinsky, the man who defined the type of community organizing in which Obama spent his younger years - years that Obama said gave him the best education of his life. Ironically, he also said that it was during this time that he “learned the true meaning of my Christian faith.”
According to the Post, Obama’s political career began when Alinsky’s disciples hired the newly-graduated Obama, who was already a follower of Alinsky’s thought, to study and implement Alinsky’s methods to organize black residents of the South Side.
When The New Republic interviewed Mike Kruglik, one of Obama’s early teachers in Alinsky’s methods, Kruglik called Obama “the best student he ever had.”
According to the Post, even after attending Harvard Law School Obama “continued to teach the Alinsky philosophy.”
In his article, Pinkerton asks, “So why hasnt he [McCain] highlighted the Alinsky-Lucifer connection? Why hasnt the McCain-Palin ticket raised this issue, knowing full well that if the candidates say it, reporters have to cover it?
“Good questions.”
Other than David Freddoso’s book The Case Against Barack Obama and a smattering of Internet coverage, says Pinkerton, the “Alinksy-Lucifer” connection has gone sorely underreported.
According to Pinkerton the Obama-Alinsky connection is simply one more piece of information about Obama that, when added to the mix, helps prove that the Democratic candidate is not on the same wavelength as most Americans.
“Had McCain really gone after Ayers AND Wright AND Alinsky-Lucifer, all at once,” wrote Pinkerton, “he would have had a strong argument that Obama was, and is, well out of the mainstream.”

You’re right. But how do we get conservative teachers?
BTTT
BTTT
Just like conservative workers in other union situations, many teachers of non-liberal views have been silent, or silenced. The time has come for people of conservative views not to be silent.
I know conservative teachers, just like conservative government employees, and conservative journalists are a way-outnumbered minority, but their silence on their views must end.
Consider one example: mention of God or moral values is forbidden in a school but children “have” to be taught about same-sex behavior. That is a perversion, and people who think so should say so.
Considering what the environment in the teaching profession has been for the past forty years, the only teachers with conservative principles are probably nearing retirement. Younger teachers are products of the mind-bending indoctrination that they received during their education.
My proposal may be impossible!
No, it's not impossible - but a few incentives will have to be switched. There used to be conservative traditional teachers - what caused the change? Colleges produced teachers who were able to teach. Now, colleges produce teachers who can't.
The group-think among teachers is to blame the parents. Parents "don't do this - parents don't do that"... But years ago, many parents were illiterate - immigrants who didn't even speak English - and our teachers taught their children.
The blame belongs on the school system.
We can start by saying that - the blame belongs to the school system. No excuses. Home schooled children - taught by parents with no - nada - zip training are doing a better than children taught by professionals.
NOT acceptable.
What to do? Raise standards and pay.
As it's structured now two groups are attracted to teaching: lazy intellectuals looking for a sinecure, and dedicated hard working people who enjoy teaching. The incentives for the lazy intellectual can be short circuited by making teaching an 8 hour a day (49 weeks a year) job.
Flex time will allow children and parents ( not teachers and administrators) to schedule classes from 7 am to 5 pm. Teachers can teach starting at 7 or 8 or 9 and kids can do the same. Because school buildings will be used rationally, fewer schools will have to be built. Parents can schedule their children for any 9 month period - same with teachers. And yeah, there are incentives if it's not a perfect match... etc... Put a system like this in place and some of the lamer types will go into something other than teaching.
