I know some will attribute my proposed approach to a "winning by losing" strategy. Believe me, it is not intended that way. Instead, it is born out of a sense of impatience and urgency. Enough of the slow spiral. Let us just get on with it so we can pick up the pieces and rebuild.

I agree with you, but it is not going to happen.

Cloward/Piven the government. Burden it with it’s own weight until it collapses.

Christmas gift need to stop. Think of how much you spend each year on family, friends and relatives on gifts that, for the most part, are not needed....
Sure, give to the small kids in the family, but everyone else? put them on notice now... “I will not be exchanging gifts this year - please don’t buy anything for me either”
Spend the time saved on cooking great meals for the holidays and baking - old school....Decorate as usual(with what you already have on hand) - make something to give, etc. but stop your seasonal retail boost to the economy.

I heard this sort of stuff when we lost to Clinton, twice, and now here it is again that we've lost to Obama, twice.
The way I see it, we've got to stop looking for the road to "Pleasantville", and start to fight. Fight dirty, like the dems fight.
They obviously see their beliefs and way of life worth fighting for, and fighting dirty for...but us? Well, we want to "reach across the aisle" and swap spit with the dems and give the media a hand job so they will "like us". Whoop-de-doo.
Everyone says that Romney is a "nice guy"...maybe therein lies the problem. We listen to the GOPe elites and they try to tell us who can get elected...and they're wrong most every time.
The GOPe running from true Conservatism, with a sneer like they passed the city dump or an open septic tank while driving near the latest trailer park.
I believe the true "middle class" in America, are the true conservatives...not the GOP. The GOP is just a truck (party)on which the Conservatives hitched a ride because they don't yet have our own truck (party).
But to create such a party, it would split the NON-democrat vote, and we'd never win again.
The Tea Party movement totally flummoxed the media and the dems because it HAD NO DEFINEABLE LEADER. The opposition had no target on which to focus, and they were scared. But, it wasn't the MSM or the dems that neutered the TPM, it was the GOPe.
The GOPe sees the TPM and hard-core conservatives like the crazy rich uncle no one wants to acknowledge belongs to the family. They want the money, they want the votes, but that's when they hang the "out to lunch" sign with the conservatives and their values come calling.
The next four years "war" should not waste "ammunition" on the dems, but go after the GOPe. The Tea Party should rise up from the ashes and go back on their rampage like 2010. It scared the hell out of all of them. They just quit too soon.
It's time to starve the beasts, plural...both the socialist government, and the GOPe chicken hearted. Re-register your party affiliation, stop giving your money (what remains after the Obamacare tax) to the GOPe and let's give it to the Tea Party.
Play their game, start the Tea Party Union, made up of true conservatives will will withold their votes for the GOP unless the planks of conservatism are adhered to, and courage is shown to back it up.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just tired of the arm-chair quarterbacking on why we lost...we lost because we sent "Captain GOPe" - chicken of the sea - out to speak for an America that is tired of all the crap, and they moderated themselves, and us, into losing the election.

Imagine conservatives not allowing their federal tax deduction to be taken from their paycheck for a month...........it would crush the government and maybe then they would realize red states really do exist.

I agree about the charity. Give to your church, help out your family and neighbors, but don’t give a dime to any other charity. Tell them you gave at the office.

Open the borders, let the tax cuts expire, and let Obamacare go full speed ahead. Damn the torpedoes...the people want socialist government, let’s give it to them.

The first thing we need to do is take them to court and get those Obamacare waivers revoked as a violation of equal protection. Make them take their own medicine...
