A number of things converged to a perfect storm.
Having a spectacularly bad candidate chosen for us by dems and independants didn't help.
Having an idiot sitting president who just sat there letting libs vilify him for eight years and just sat there and took it sure as hell didn't help. The idea of turning the other cheek depends on a certain set of assumptions, mainly that the other person is capable of learning something from the example, and is problematical at best; in American politics, it is a formula for disaster.
Having an entire generation of American youth totally brainwashed didn't help. Nobody can hope to prevail in any sort of a culture war while sending their children off to the enemy for indoctrination. The NEA and the govt. school monopoly must be broken before conservatives can ever prosper again.
But the biggest factor was John (the "Maverick"(TM)) McCain having his Ross Perot moment with the bailout. The American voting public will not elect somebody they view as a flake to the whitehouse.
I've been championing this idea since I joined Free Republic.
We absolutely **must** work to get our kids out of government schools, offer free conservative alternatives to all the children in America, and shut every Marxist government indoctrination camp down.
The Alinsky types had this figured out decades ago. Go for the children. If the hearts and minds of the children are won then Marxist dominated elections will follow.
.......The NEA and the govt. school monopoly must be broken before conservatives can ever prosper again......
Fear this. Last week, the teachers union announced it would attempt to organize the teachers in the local nationally rated but non union school system.
The dead body is still warm. The assault is on
Cindy—You Nailed it.
Obama won because of Four factors:
1. Bush and his RINO ways and a silly war trying to make Iraq
in to a democracy.
2. A knuckheaded “maverick” like John McCain to lead the party
3. The MSM flawing for the “new black” dream boy.
4. The Economy that failed at just the right time.
The media must be made to pay if Obama screws up—Don’t worry Obama will exact a revenge for us when he doesn’t govern as people expect. Look for no news briefings or access.
