Conservatives Have A Secret
American Thinker ^ | August 3, 2012 | Daren Jonescu

Posted on 08/03/2012 12:09:12 PM PDT by RedMominBlueState

...The entire Democratic Party, from the top down, now looks like Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright. The hatred of America is open. The desire to undo American constitutionalism is explicit. And this exposure will only accelerate in the coming months and years, as the left realizes ever more acutely that its days as an accepted political faction are numbered, and it is forced to take increasingly drastic and sudden measures to achieve its brutal aims before the clock runs out....It has become patently clear that the present Republican Party establishment is not up for this fight. Constitutional conservatives must do it themselves, using the GOP apparatus as just one tool. They must remain cool and workmanlike, rebuilding dams faster than the leftist waves can knock them down. This is the means to conservative victory. One cannot merely "go back" to a better time. Societal decay cannot simply be undone. One must allow -- even encourage -- the progressive degeneration to play itself out, fighting it at every turn until the leftists, seething with an increasingly open hatred of America, overplay their hand and self-destruct.

The fundamental Achilles of American Conservatism is that rather than identifying themselves as pro-Constitutional Government, they have allowed the media to paint the Conservaticve movement as a potential evangelical Christian theocracy.

Until Conservatives seize control of the argument and re-direct it Constitutionally, we will be playing defense.

There is a deep, abiding need for and love of the Constitutional freedoms in the heart and soul of all Americans. That’s the lesson of the Second Amnedment issue.

64% of Americans think government is on the wrong track.

The right track is restoration of Constitutional Freedoms and limited Federal Government and more States Rights. That will sell in the soap box and the ballot box and even the jury box.

But let the media define the right track, or how Conservatism can’t get America there because of preoccupation with “social conservative” concerns .....you can forgetaboutit

Not up for it? They aren’t even trying. And in the case of Boehner, he is CAVING!

that paragraph was from the original, missed my italics tag...

point taken and agreed that the *party* is but a mechanism to encourage the meltdown of the left and force it to tip its hand...

This is the means to conservative victory. One cannot merely “go back” to a better time. Societal decay cannot simply be undone. One must allow — even encourage — the progressive degeneration to play itself out, fighting it at every turn until the leftists, seething with an increasingly open hatred of America, overplay their hand and self-destruct. Finally, thanks to steadfast conservative resistance, “progressivism” will be fully exposed for the empty, anti-human power lust that it truly is.
Power-lust masked as “caring government” — the entitlement society — can still win support, unfortunately. By gradually forcing progressives out from behind the mask, however, conservatives can at last destroy the illusion that is leftism, leading not to a “reversal” or a “return,” but rather to renewal. This is conservatism’s well-kept secret — the secret hidden in its very nature: from a long series of hard-fought failures can come sudden victory.

Conservatives Have a Secret(American Thinker)

Progressives have the irresistible bait: Free stuff now and we will mail you the bill later after you get addicted but for now someone else will pay. (like giving out free 'crack' samples) Republicans are not that much better because that is what people reward, free stuff.

Worse yet the ‘Conservatism’ term used many times above is so overused it is almost meaningless, It is used by those who support RINO statists and in fact used by Democrats on occasion to describe their own positions.

You're bringing me down dude. I saw the Movie The Postman. Those people were desperate for any federal government to look up to protect them from the bullies:)

We don’t have the luxury of time.
