NET CALL UPDATED

Angry that we continue to follow the Republican Party’s elite ignorance. A party that continues to pull defeat from the jaws of victory characterized by pompous fools who fulfill the sterotype built by the left.

Frustrated that the reality of politics is this: There will be no third party capable of competing with the coalition constructed by the dems. As a result, true conservatives MUST take steps to irradicate the ignorance of the Republican Party while still adhering to the core values of our forefathers (beliefs that I discovered are considered extreme by over half of my countrymen on Tuesday night, BTW).

I have no solve for exactly how to accomplish this. Only advice based on a long military career in several foreign lands for how to defeat the dems once this is accomplished.

This thought process is based on the concept of irregular warfare with twists thrown in here and there for good measure.

LEADERSHIP: The old crew has proven either incompotent or outdated. McConnell and Boerner must go. They represent a failed plan to defend and resist without clearly explaining their position. They are content with looking like the bad guys and face public scorn when they don’t realize how important it is to manipulate a clearly left leaning MSM. They represent the failure of the last four years to our own and obstructionists to the opposition. We’ve got to show a new face to the nation. That is the genesis of rebuilding this movement. Ryan or Cantor in the House, Rubio or Demint in the Senate.

We also need a standard bearer and I see no one on the horizon with as much rockstar potential and substance as Rubio. These next four years must put him on the center stage with a unified and consolidated message. It also needs to protect him from the attacks from the left that are guaranteed to come.

Everything the Obamites used to deny, deflect, and difuse will be used againstt hem....including the race card. THAT is what will make Rubio a teflon candidate.

These men represent a change in a party that has been beaten soundly in the last two elections by a charlatan and his traveling circus. A fresh choice in leadership represents change you can TRULY beleive in from every angle. It marks a clear start from inside and outside when we actually started taking this enemy seriously.

GROUND GAME: It is IMPERATIVE to develop and foster an intricate ground game. It requires a MICRO-ANALYSIS of every county, every city, and every early and absentee ballot by demographic to find how how, why, and with what method they voted. The dems have built quite the coalition but it’s a house of cards; it’s a fractured coalition of single issue voters held together by a media-invested hollyweird worshipping demagogue. They can be piecemealed away bitby bit without sacrficing principle.

Give it to the dems on their “community organizing” machine. We don’t need to reinvent that model. We MUST develop our own. One that will INSTILL our principles in a language tailored to the audience. They’ve tailored theirs on the community organizer, we can create ours around the military special operator. This the winning of hearts and minds in our own third world backyard dem strongholds.

This isn’t as difficult as it sounds. It requires a patient and immediate effort that starts with the post election analysis looking not for what we WANT to find, but for the GROUND TRUTH. GROUND TRUTH is REAL INTELLIGENCE not Rovian number-crunching wishful thinking.

It will require an insurgent effort at the ground level. An infiltration into dem areas that we identify are weak or vulnerable to start cutting in to the blue.

The COIN (insurgeny/counterinsurgency)effort would include the identification of these areas, the inflitration of the areas through churches and charitable organizations AND PARTICULARLY THROUGH EDUCATION.

There ARE like thinkers in these communities. How do we find them? Ask Jesse L. Peterson. Ask JC Watts and Herman Cain. They KNOW how to splinter these vulnerable areas off the blue.

The hispanic issue is RIPE for moving into the red. Catholic, family oriented cultures who beleive in being left alone and naturally distrust the government. And they voted Obama? This is the epitome of the single issue voter. the RNC needs to go toe to toe, issue to issue with “the Race” and counter it in that community, in that language, at THAT LEVEL.

Think it can’t be done? SOF has been doing it since the end of World War II. It CAN be done.

WE must get deep into the education system to promote the ideals and values of conservatism that should be selling themselves. I’m not talking about traditional public schools and universities. They are ROTTED with liberals. They also aren’tthe keys to education in the 21st century.

I’m talking about the new way to educate - the online universities, the trade schools and nightschools. Corporate allies need to invest and educate with the ideals of economic and fiscal conservatism.

The RNC needs to lead and develop this effort. A novice like me can see that there is a disconnect between the voting habits of catholic-dominated hispanics and pockets of baptist blacks and their actual stated values. That disconnect can be exploited if it is done slowly, deliberately, and effectively.

INFORMATION WARFARE: We are ATROCIOUS AT THIS. Dems get a simple message out early and often. They poison the well and we are left to change minds rather than get the initial impression right from jump. We constantly play defense and think we are sooooo clever when dems (as they ALWAYS do) do something stupid or illegal and shocked when the media all but ignores it. We must take the offensive in getting up in every Candy Crowley, every George Stepenopolis’ face and call them what they are: democratic hacks posing as the “objective media”

We ABSOLUTELY MUST be proactive. We must attack at EVERY OPPORTUNITY then add each fail of the dems to a trend and theme. These themes must be simple, tailored, and repetitively broadcast to each target demographic.

We must look out beyond the 5 and 10 meter targets. We’ve got to effectively interpret what the dem message is on the horizon and confront it at all levels - from the national MSM level filtering directly down to the target group level. Even I can see what the talking points of the upcoming week are by watching the Sunday talking head programs. Defense is unacceptable. we can’t pretent that the most outrageous comment won’t gain traction then act surprised when weeks later, that theme picks up steam. Attack, attack, attack.

Alinsky tactics must be turned against their masters. There is GREAT power in ridicule and scorn. They make it too easy to use. It needs to be culturally tailored and consistent. Dennis Miller needs his own show on FNC AND a late night show on Fox. Let him source and promote culturally diverse conserative comedians that vulnerable areas can relate to and remember. Bold Fresh tours aren’t enough.

This is only part of an overall information operation plan that is constant in a simple party message and what it means to each target group.

WE DON’T DO THAT WELL. WHY NOT? I find it unbelievable that Obama has hijacked the reputation and imagery of the Party of Lincoln.

COIN operations involve a very in depth understanding of cultural idocyncracies and how best to exploit them to our advantage. It’s not a “wool-over-the-eyes” approach or a “free shit” approach like the dems sell. THAT ALWAYS COMES UP SHORT.

It’s a sell based on how it effects each target group and what it means to them. If it’s done right, I am CONFIDENT that the tenets of conservatism sell themselves.

In Civil Miltary Operations, assistance in areas that seem unrelated builds trust in the agency. Granted, there’s a fine line between assistance and the giving of free shit but, the special operations forces walk that line well. It can be done. Community outreach in areas that we identify, in ways that we haven’t before can build a larger tent without sacrificing our beliefs.

The military has been doing this in third world countries for years. We’ve been more successful in some areas, less successful in others. In the United States third world strongholds of the Democratic Party,I am confident that it can be done.

Here’s the kicker: There are countless retired special operations planners and operators working overseas as contractors RIGHT NOW. It’s too easy; the RNC needs to hire them as contractors over here.

This is, by far, not the only avenue we’ve got to pursue in order to turn the tide.

But, if we are going to war, the RNC must look to the military to rediscover and reorganize. The number-crunching beancounters have their place in the organization but, on their best days, they can only identify who will and won’t vote Republican.

I was re-stating the 6 points made by a fellow in Germany, whose comments were posted by another FRPR.

It is odd, to be led onto a battlefield, then to be left as we now feel, without traction, given the wrong vehicles or poor instructions on how they are used / could be used, as The Big Show leaders pack up and leave.

The leftists meanwhile *live* on the battlefield and use a variety of vehicles adapted to the battlefield. (Seize and hold, until relieved; seise and hold ...)

We have wheels, but they have rails, tracked vehicles, and wheels; and whatever, they *have traction.*

You're like, "Hey man! How can we get out of this mess?" As your fast recognition of "We don't have tracks(!) and What nut dreamed up *THIS* failure(!?)" has you looking around for another experienced soldier who is also trying to seize some tracked vehicles. Adapt and improvise, we would do ... but we are not left with much to make of that.

No matter what we do, now and in the future, our officer corps *who are running these shows* --- as distinguished from those officers who have the guts to be in the trenches with us --- will, because it is their nature, remain aloof: They can still afford to pack up and join some party in the rear areas. As we try to clear our heads of the shock, and we turn to find barely a handful of captains, majors, and colonels - in total - who know what we are about and have remained on the field.

Meanwhile, that corps of the big show (I refer to them as The Republican Party Hair Club for Men), continue their business world resume-theatrics. It is considered "bad form" --- yes, still, after all these years of what liberals call "modernity" --- such highly-self-regarded mutual-admiration-society types in suits, are more worried about being seen in conversation with you, despite your excellent qualities as a seargent in the field, than being proven to be bad leaders as a result of their "poor execution."

Bad form is a career no-no for them; bad leader, they rarely are called to account, as they usually are let off the hook (TARP). Oh, you will find some of them making speeches to the troops, but there is not much *learning* from the troops and living with conditions on the shop floor, in the field, in the many spaces aboard ship, where you would think, the commanding officer would be inspecting *routinely.*

It is bad form for The Big Show Brass to spend "quality time" on the shop floor (in the trenches); and while they have the power to maintain communications, correspondence, and conversations with leaders of the shop floor (the fellows who experience has taught us, are good leaders and *very* observant - the worthy seargents), such "brass" of "corporate American" suit-cut, won't do it.

The divide between the officer corps of the big show and the rank and file, is what must be bridged, and it was for Reagan, *by Reagan,* as literally millions of then- Reagan-Democrats showed up to vote in appreciation for his understanding. It is amazing how many brass of the big show, do not get that and/or resent the success of Ronald Reagan.

When we find good leaders, we get out of the trenches; but when we are "led" by the corps of the big show, we look at each other, "Are you going?" "I dunno; are you going?" - because we have a lot of experience on the shop floor, with bad execution no thanks to bad leadership. While some few of us, the passionate, charge up and over the top anyway, because it is too painful for them to just sit there and ignore liberty.

So, we need good leaders. That requires a large, on-going presence of those of us from the trenches, from the shop floors, from our fields, to be in the chain of command and pipeline of each state Republican Party organization; in order that, our experience is a constant reminder to the brass.

When we find *within* the organization, that the brass think they can still do an end-around ... us, then we walk out; and they will know, that they will not win, then (instead of on election night), unless of course, they sell out to ... what we see them selling out to ... which has changed the effective Republican Party into becoming the Democrat Party for Lower Taxes. In which case, the Republican Party cannot be the party for liberty and limited government, as the Republican Party is but a wing-for-lower-taxes of the Democrat Party.

Next on the list, is that we need to increase the size of the conservative media, from fledgling, to full-time. There are few reporters for Human Events, National Review, The Washington Times, CNS (Cybercast News Service); they are not enough. There are some who are attracted to Brietbart, who does have some traction. Yet overall, conservative media reporters are nowhere near in number and in presence, where we need them, daily. (Free Republic is in many ways, a newsstand.)

Because we need to use conservative media to provide the body, the content of the worthy building blocks, foundations, and principles of liberty --- you know, that which the Republican politicians fail to explain well in sound bite after bite after bite...

The Republican Party Hair Club for Men continues to incorrectly believe, that *they* need to *issue* sound bites in competition for what otherwise has your attention of the established, predominantly-liberal-media-entertainment of the moment. *They* continue to incorrectly assume that you are taking decisions based upon how *they* perceive the outcome of an election. *They* continue to incorrectly assume that you choose to be ignorant and un-informed.

All the while, *they* ignore and dismiss efforts, such as at Breitbart, to help you be informed, in addition to almost-willfully ignoring how well people respond to the success of Breitbart.

To a certain extent, that failure by the brass is because *they* are THE OFFICER CORPS of The Big Show --- it's *their* BIG EGO, er show --- they DON'T want you to think, they want you to follow orders. Those sound bites? Those are *orders.*

All the while, ignoring the lessons that *you* know: when well-informed and experienced in the art of war, Rangers Lead The Way.
