To me, the context of this article is that this election, win or lose, is but one battle in an ongoing, and uphill struggle.

Wonderfully written, as usual.

Thanks! THAT WAS GREAT!

Even if we lose this election, it will have been worthwhile to make it as close as possible...

That's like saying "Oh well, we almost kept the barbarians from battering through the castle gates. We'll fart in their general direction as they sell us into slavery".

Great article.

Obama = tyranny,socialism, evil, lies

Our vote today is against evil

This brilliant writer makes it very clear that our elections can no longer be taken for granted as a way to endorse different approaches to the same Constitutional goals.

We are now, for the long foreseeable term, joined in a battle for the defense of our Constitution; and every election, as long as we can continue to have elections, will be between the traditional Americans and those who wish to overthrow the Bill of Rights and the Constitution in favor of the tyranny that inspired them.

Our goal is not an absolute victory, but like all resistance movements, it is to remain viable, to be there sabotaging their latest initiative, undermining them and remaining free of their control.

Spoken like a person who has faith in liberty but no idea how it works.

Our goal is absolute victory, but it requires a workable plan. That starts with creating the room in the law for the start-ups that will become the free enterprise system with which the justifications for these bureaucracies are eliminated. Even the existence of a parallel and competing system will cause them to behave very differently toward the public they supposedly serve.

The occupation is not here to take power for another four years, but another forty years and another four-hundred years. It is not playing a short term game in a system where power shifts back and forth, but putting in place the infrastructure for the permanent occupation of the United States of America. But despite all its power and control, the miles of video screens that spew forth its propaganda, the billions of dollars that flow from its coffers into the pockets of its supporters and the cultural control that its proponents wield-- it still has one vulnerability.

A piece of paper, a push of a button, and the occupiers have to fall back, gritting their teeth and planning a renewed offensive in the spring.

And that is just it, isn't it?  We need to organize around a vision that has a longer view than an election cycle.

Even if we lose this election, it will have been worthwhile to make it as close as possible, to bring out massive rallies of people who are waking up out of the daze and realizing that they don't have to take the occupation and that there are tens of millions of people out there who feel as they do. It will have been worthwhile to deliver a message to the left that its occupation stands on shaky feet and that the next gust of wind may tip it over. It will have been worthwhile in order to remind the left that the people are rising and that while this uprising may not have toppled over their golden throne, the next one might. It will have been worthwhile to remind the left that it is not on the path to a thousand-year world-state but to a collision with growing numbers of people who want their freedom back.

Thanks for the post; ping. HOORAY Daniel Greenfield! Excelsior!
