Our entire country, indeed the world, mourns the victims of the savage attack in Tucson that left six dead, including an esteemed federal judge and beautiful nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green; 14 seriously wounded; and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords fighting for her life after a bullet from the gun of her crazed killer and apparent stalker Jared Loughner entered and then exited her brain.
While millions of words have been written about this unspeakable tragedy, I write here of another mourning, specifically the agony of the left at having irrevocably lost the American public, and with that loss their grandiose ambitions of turning our Democratic Republic into a Communist stronghold.
Simply, the leftists-cum-progressives among us have never recovered from their thundering defeat in the midterm elections of November 2 not just 63 seats in the House and six in the Senate, but also an overwhelming number of Republican governorships and control over more state legislative seats than any time since 1928....

Aren't subjective language standards wonderful?
Indeed, I wish I could be as optimistic as the author. The revolution has come to America, and the other side is going for broke. They may just have enough of a constituency to pull off a fundamental shift in the very core of the country. I believe we should still do all that we can, but wonder if only a divine intervention can save us now. I feel like I’ve been trapped in a real life version of the Lord of the Rings.
Remember that where the Communists succeeded, in the countries they attacked in the 40's through the 80's, they always had only a minority to work with. The question is not, "do they have a plurality?" but "is their minority big enough to take us down?"
The Socialist structure is built.
Countless leftist minions are already entrenched in the bureaucracy, including in the mass of Alphabet agencies (FBI, BATFE - wonder if they'll add anymore letters?, etc.) and the various other agencies that are ARMED (armed POST OFFICE goons?).
The lefts "educators" are making mush of young minds, and shoving revisionist history and other leftist propaganda down our childrens throats.
And on and on.
Despite Republican and Conservative gains, are there enough of them that will not blink and fall back on their dem-like, RINO ways?
Are there enough that will not continue to be PUSSIES, even in the face of a Socialist onslaught, which may, in the end, destroy the country as our Founders intended?
There may not be.
It may end up being WE THE PEOPLE that do what has to be done, and not just rely on our "representatives", to get our country back.
Joan Swirsky is the greatest. I always stop and read what she writes.
Good post.
The Left’s goal is to keep Palin out of the Primaries. And so by the way is the GOP establishment.
“I write here of another mourning, specifically the agony of the left at having irrevocably lost the American public, and with that loss their grandiose ambitions of turning our Democratic Republic into a Communist stronghold.”
I don’t think those two statements go together. If you’ll remember, their takeover bills were passed against the will of the people. The Demonrats don’t think they need the consent of the electorate.
Then stop being so pessimistic. We, the leaderless people, spontaneously rose up and knocked the progressives on their collective butts and you're feeling bad about the future? Stop focussing on the negative!
Try this. Ask yourself: What do you want? For the country? For your state and your home? Focus on those things and work to make them happen. The time is now. If not now, when?? The Republic won't be around much longer if we don't take care of this progressive problem.
No, there are not. Pains me to say it, but I'm convinced. It would take armed resistance, at this point. Too late to unschool the dumbed down generations; the media can't be shut down fast enough and the socialist measures of welfare and foreign aid can't be shut off. Anyone doubts it, try running on that platform. So we are left with the scenario of rebellion.
Who's going to do it? And to whom? Conservatives won't engage that way, they're law-abiding folks and fair-minded. They won't egg a window much less fire on a communist.
Nothing here on FR irritates me more than reading someone's puffed up perorations of "molon labe." Aside from one or two who might be exceptions, they are all holding losing hands and bluffing. We've all been dancing backwards so long, we think it's forwards.
The left gets away with calling the tune and the choreography; they have killed millions of infants, never mind seized your assets and handed it to moochers, and have not needed to pull a trigger since Waco.
Who are you gonna shoot, who never has to take a shot at you? Who never has to.
We are not only dancing backwards, we are bent over backwards with heads inserted rectally, while drawing new "lines in the sand" every day...and grumbling in the lower colon echo chambers, "Just you wait! Someday you'll push me too far! Molon labe!"
We the Sheeple have already abandoned the America of our forefathers. Visions of Civil War II, like visions of sugarplums, only help little lambs to fall asleep.
Alinsky-itis is a dread disease infecting the left.
In order for it to take hold, it needs humans in possession of extreme adolescence, psychosis, neurosis, bad toilet-training and highly active intestines .
In order to become a wide-spread disease, it needs brilliant, intellectual, really really smart independents to think that adolescent, psychotic, neurotic, badly-toilet-trained, visceral progressives are brilliant, intellectual, really really smart geniuses. (along with all those brilliant, intellectual, really-really smart, genius progressives and democrats.)

Communism’s death keeps getting reported, but as decades of vampire movies prove, they always seem to come back.
“The Socialist structure is built.”
Yes, but it’s about to implode.
The economy is experiencing an extremely weak “jobless” recovery, and it will fall soon into a double dip recession. Housing prices have already fallen by more than they fell during the 1930’s Depression. None of this will recover until we put the millions of jobless back to work.
Between that and getting squeezed on bonds by the Chicoms the gov’t is about to be forced to go on a severe diet. The nibbling around the edges that the GOP is proposing right now sounds nice but it’s not enough to take care of the problem. Like everything else in D.C. it only gets changed when they have no other choice. And that day is rapidly approaching.
Good article, wishful thinking. Whatever matters today will not matter tomorrow, and all of us have about 650 tomorrows to have our mental focus diddled however the MSM chooses.
In a word----redistricting.
So far so good for Republicans.
Should be fun to see the Dems step into shallow water-then watch Boehner raise the floodgates-trapping all the Dems. Might even be a good time to peddle life jackets to the DNC (/snix).
Looks like Boehner's game is a strategic effort to stay beneath the radar---to repel disgruntled Dems oldtime strategy of zeroing in on Pubbies as the one to blame. They are already using that line of attack (remembering Pelosi's successful strategy in 2007-2008).
BTW, Sen Rand Paul formed a Tea Party Caucus to bookend Michele Bachman's Tea Party Caucus in the House.
So I guess this means Trent Lott's coming after them.............ROTFL.
