The time to re-form, mobilize and counter-attack has been upon the conservatives for decades. This isn’t 1955 anymore. You can’t run the Green Bay Packers (or the Giants, Colts, Bears, etc.) playbook from 1955 and expect to win. The game changes. When (if) you put the TV on, Lawrence Welk and the band ain’t performing anymore (at least not live), you get some drivel from MTV.
I’ve aways viewed the AIDS outbreak as the start of radical leftism really organizing and getting in peoples’ faces. After coming out of the closet in the late sixties/early seventies and then accumulating some power and money, they used the power of the group or mob (albeit small) to intimidate and bend change to their favor.
The time to rethink conservatism as something that is just reactionary in nature and counter-attack is LONG overdue.
And contrary to the fossils in the NFL, who still want to play like it was 1950, the spread offense is effective and is the future of football. In politics, the spread offense means that you pick off individual congressman who are weakest first...that being the “Blue Dog” Democrats, who were so-called “conservatives” recruited by Rahm Emanuel to take over red districts and put Nancy Pelosi in power. Every one of the Blue Dogs needs to be soundly defeated by their conservative constituents in ‘10.
In addition to those obvious targets, the corrupt Dems, such as Murtha, should be attacked. Harry Reid, with his land deals, should be included on the Senate side.
All politics is local, and changing a few dozen seats is the key to turning the country around.
