“... 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”

Gee, they have been doing that for years. I got news for you. We have our own rules we are going to play by and it aint going to be pretty for the lefties.

My wife just got an e-mail from the head of HR saying that the post-election Obama jokes have to stop, especially if there is any hint that it might be related to racism. No notice before the election. And it was OK to get anti-Bush e-mails for 8 years. Oh yeah, she works for a bank that is hoping for a piece of the bailout action.....

It is here already.

They can’t play without our money. Yes, we may have to suffer as the economy gets much worse and they have a drastic downturn in tax revenues, but that is the sacrifice we will make for bringing this country literally to its knees.

2 thoughts:

Michael Barone’s pre-election articles were very good and also represented the realistic fears many productive Americans have right now...this is no VRWC thing. This could be a really ugly situation. I view Michael Barone as a very sharp and very reasonable guy when it comes to politics, and these articles coming from him as opposed to more firebrand partisans is something to take seriously.

Secondly, we need to get campaign chiefs that understand these types of hard-core political tactics and go right back at them. We lose when we are bi-partisan. We win when we fight.

Perhaps we found that Constitutional coup loophole that logician Kurt Gödel noticed while studying for his citizenship.

Oh yes, some of us do realise. This wasn’t the usual political spin of the wheel-R, then D, then R, then D. This is a new game. We’ve already been up against what Thatcher called the “ratchet effect”-everytime the left gets into power, they steer the country left. When the right returns to power, they try to correct course, but they never steer us back as far as the left has steered us right. So over time, we have been incrementally turned to the left, without recovering ground, much less making a right turn. And now with the Alinsky students and liberation theology and “spread the wealth” crew in charge, we are full steam ahead for socialism. They never denied it, like they usually find necessary-they know that the time is ripe now, after all the decades of gently leading the people to accept it, under various guises. They don’t even have to hide it anymore, they can press ahead.

One small consolation-I can’t wait to see the MSM start squawking when their ox starts getting gored.

Then let the country become a socialist cesspool. Only when we are on the verge of destruction will a new American Revolution begin.

I don’t see dems toying with the filibuster, they realize they could find themselves in the minority very quickly, just like we did in 2006. They also know that mid terms usually mean gains for the current minority party. But, if they are dumb enough to tinker with the filibuster I believe that in itself would push millions of Independents, Reagan dems and libertarians into the Repubs’ corner very quickly.

It will take very focused, very intelligent, very skillful action by conservatives to stop this creeping subversion of a free society. This is a whole different political battlefield than any on which we've fought before. And we haven't yet found our Omar Bradley.

And George Patton too.

I think there’s time - a narrow window - before everything is out of control. Obama is hiding something that would turn his base of supporters against him, right? There’s something in his birth certificate or in his records that he refuses to reveal. It’s not citizenship because that wouldn’t matter to those who support him. Whatever it is, if that could be brought to light SOON that would be the chink in the armor. Is this possible?

And of course, before Alinsky these same Democrat tactics were used by Tammany Hall, Boss Tweed, John Michael Curly, and any number of crooked Democrat pols.

It's what they do.

Conservatives may not realize just how difficult it might be to recover from this week's elections.

I think many of us do.
