In the mean time, we need to build a power base. The question is how.

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.

I think the progressive / neo-liberals / communists did it by building from within and from without. The outsiders, that is, the radicals, knew how to use power and they are succeeding. They are now in the process of making their party a good facsimile of historical totalitarian parties, at least that’s my judgement. They had and have a seeming advantage over us: they are entirely amoral and will do anything to accomplish their ends. We have an advantage over them. We can make our case in the light of day rather than under the cover of darkness. What is needed is the willingness to try and the intelligence to come up with a plan. By the way, what I have just said about the amorality of the radicals in the democrat party also goes for the republican establishment / rinos. They also are amoral and thus have a weakness that can be probed: they can only lie about their true agenda. Play to the weaknesses of the enemy and to our strengths. Seems to me, in a general sort of way, that’s the key. Don’t burn your bridges by foregoing the structures that already exist. The structures are fine. What inhabits them is not.

Another key: conservatives are not good leaders or followers because they just want to be left alone, but, we need leaders and an army. We are going to have to change. If we want to change the world, we need to start with ourselves.

This is a time to come together, not split apart. Recognize that each one of us has talents and experiences that can be valuable to the cause. Like I said in my previous post, 95% of Americans do not understand the problem. If I’m right, that means 5% do and are available for conscription into our political army. What do you think a united 15,000,000 man American political army can do? I think it can turn the entire world upside down.

It’s been done before. It can be done again.
