I have posted the url for Solid Principles and the article in its entirety may be found there, or go to American Thinker and read the ENTIRE article. It's time to pull our heads out of the sand and shake off the residual.
Sounds interesting. However, I am getting URL not found, page not found.
Best Free Republic post of the year so far.
Thanks!
A must read!
No working link?
Thanks! Sending this one on to everyone I know.
Bump for later
A nice write up. Realize that this has been the aim of the dim party for decades. Many people saw it. We raised alarms about it over and over again...and no one would listen. So I guess it is an improvement that BOR has finally started figuring it out. He is all I have come to expect from a Harvard post grad.
Ping!
This is a very good read. It coincides with my husband’s opinion about the upcoming elections and ACORN. It also explains why the Democrats APPEAR to be so STUPID.
It is, indeed, time to seriously think the unthinkable.
Good article, but like a majority of the commenters on American Thinker, I disagree with the conclusion. The results are NOT inevitable. Americans don’t like fraud and deceit even though some of the less intelligent of Americans are truly clueless.....
All politics is local—each and every one of us needs to ensure our state and local elections officials are on the up and up. The Demons have had a “Secretary of State Project” in the works since 2000 and it is indeed working for them. Why can’t we have our own?
Another thing we must do is educate our apolitical friends. I have many friends who are extremely intelligent but are absolutely clueless about politics. It is up to us!
This is also the plan with "Cap and Trade". Remember "commander zero's" telling statement: "Under my plan electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket."?
The average family will not be able to heat or cool a home or pay for gas for the car without a government subsidy and the government will "need" to raise taxes to provide that subsidy.
They will now have you by the cajones and your liberty will be a faint memory; pleasantly and painfully remembered.
Freedom, after all, carries with it risk and responsibility which can be quite scary.
Wouldn't it be so much easier to let "dear leader" and those smarter than us assume that risk for us?
Zero new material here. Just the same pattern freepers have pointing out for years. And as usual, it ignores the counter proscribed by Von Clausewitz
The November 2010 election will be the telling moment. If it becomes apparent that the ballot box doesn’t matter, a significant number of citizens will become more apathetic and drop out of the election process. Another significant number will seek other solutions. The dynamic will determine both what form of government we have going forward and how stable it is.
Thoroughly depressing. Brush up your Chinese and Arabic.
If this doesn’t work for the Democrats there should be trials ... if it does work then there surely will be trials.
In the 1980’s, an ex-KGB officer and Russian defector, Yuri Bezmenov, did his absolute best to warn Americans about 1960’s radicals who were slowly converting America to a Marxist country using an overt process called “Ideological Subversion”.
It has nothing to do with a conspiracy theory or grand new world order. It is overt, out in the open, in your face (a la Bill Ayers, ACORN, SEIU, Barack Obama).
There are 4 stages to Ideological Subversion:
1. Demoralization (aka: “a slow march through the institutions”)
2. Destabilization (as in economic destabilization)
3. Crisis (we are at the beginning of this stage)
4. Normalization (which is anything but normal).
This progressive cancer has been growing over the last 40+ years and is close to destroying our country.
Please take time to watch this short interview. It features Yuri Bezmenov describing exactly how Ideological Subversion works (it should sound eerily familiar). There are many other Bezmenov videos on youtube, but this is a great one to start with.

There was also an excellent recent 2009 American Thinker article about Mr. Bezmenov and Ideological Subversion:

Please share the video with everyone you know. It has over 129,000 views, but it needs to have 100 million.
People need to realize that we got to this sorry point in our country’s history by design, not by accident.
The most troubling aspect of my analysis is that it represents the logical extension of irrefutable, objective facts. At least five of the six premises are no more and no less than observable Democrat behavior, and the other is a mild extrapolation at most. This is not good.
It’s over, America. We are now living under a proto-dictatorship in the United States. In less than a year, the full reification of it will be apparent to all. Have a nice day. R.I.P., U.S.A.
Professor Gaski's summation doesn't project into the possible responses to the conditions that he outlines. I wonder whether Fr. Hesburgh would've asked *those* questions?
This was written by perhaps a democrat? How can one tell? Easy, absolutely no hope whatsoever; only follow the party line is best.
Don’t tell me there are no conservatives out there ready to change things.
This is all the comments we get?
This IS the summary of the US to this point under democrats’ rule.
Read.
