...is there life after the Leftists take over?

Probably not, but implicit in your question is the belief that they have not yet taken over and with this I agree.

The problem is the following IMHO:

A Marxist ideologue is President. His party's leadership is the same. Leadership of the opposing party also include some of the same elements. The Marxists have a compliant media who will never call them out for anything. My seat-of-the-pants guesstimate is that at least 95% of Americans have no idea of what these facts could mean for our safety and liberty. All those of us who do understand can only guess as to the specifics of the future we face if the Marxists maintain control.

I have confidence if Americans understood these facts they would do the right thing such that neo-liberalism / socialism / communism / statism would diminish to the point of political insignificance.

So the cure starts with education. Teach what it is that makes America exceptional. Teach what the founding fathers gave us and why it is so different from any other system of government. Teach what Marxism is and why and how it killed millions. Imagine a classroom with Newt and others as teachers putting this all together for the American people.

In the mean time, we need to build a power base. The question is how. What are the most practical steps to take to achieve this end and to ensure that the Marxists are not able to destroy liberty such that it cannot return without America devolving into a soul and spirit destroying statist atrocity -- a thing that precludes the return of America forever?

These are tough questions and the answers require leaders of a caliber up to those leaders of the first American Revolution. By now, for all I know, that leadership may already have formed or be in the process of so doing. The original founders were pretty coy in the lead up to the beginning of the Revolution. I mean, this ain't beanbag, folks.

I understand the founders always knew it would come to this. As they look down on us now, I wonder what they're thinking?

It can't be within the GOP, because the GOP will not allow it. Some people are convinced they can persuade Romney to move right, but he's already talking like he's going to move left for the general election, plus if he gets the nomination and somehow wins, he will install liberal Republicans just like him in positions of power, both within the GOP and within his cabinet.

Anybody who thinks that the GOP will somehow allow them to build a Conservative powerbase from within the GOP has not been paying attention to the last 24 years. Just about every Presidential election since 1988, Conservatives convince themselves that things will be better or that the liberals running the GOP will listen to them, and every time a liberal gets the nomination and expands the government and/or loses to a Democrat, or turns it over to a Democrat.
