Thanks for this thread.

We need to take the time and effort to discuss what we will include in our discussion group, which for lack of a better name I call it the ‘Conserve America Party’ (CAP), and THEN join to covert an existing Political Party.

1.) IMHO, the Liberal Weapon of ‘Political Correctness’ ended when Romney finished his Concession Speech. This end to the PC BS will allow our ideas to reach each other at least an order of magnitude more openly.

2.) I would like to have a discussion on this and other threads on the wisdom of having: a.) a narrow focus, or b.) a wide array of Campaign Topics, Issues, or Planks. (All y’all please put me on those threads ping lists)!

For example, IMHO once the Liberal Agenda Media (LAM) got Primary Candidate Rick Santorum to answer their endless social/moral/Religious questions, Santorum’s Campaign was effectively blocked by the LAM. Finished!

3.) Thus, by starting out with our Core Beliefs (# 1.), and THEN discussing how big our “tent” should be (#2), we can rationally admit to each other what does not work for us. IOW, let the LAM wup up on their own ‘tar-baby’ topics.

If one wants to conduct guerrilla politicking it has to be financed. One of the reasons the Republican establishment is the establishment of the Republican Party is because it either contributes the bulk of the financing or controls the means of finance. To the degree that true conservatives run against Rinos for control of the party, they will face the need to find new sources of finance. One can conduct guerrilla politicking perhaps more cheaply than conventional politicking but both efforts require a lot of money.

One of the brilliant breakthroughs the Democrats have achieved over the years is to tax you and me to finance their brand of politics. We see this in National Public Radio and National Public Television. We also see it, or we would see it if we looked closely, in our tax policy in which we favor such institutions as the Ford Foundation with its funding by the hundreds of millions of dollars of left-wing themes. Most of us are familiar with the Tides Foundation and the mischief if is has done. We also see how the left finances itself out of our own pockets if we examine the American educational system from kindergarten through postgraduate work. If one looks at grants which dominate much of the culture of the faculty lounges, one sees how the most bizarre left-wing themes are financed. If one looks at kindergarten and primary schools, one understands how the teachers unions have turned the system into a money machine and how the politicians have used the unions as a money laundering machine with the ultimate result the children are thoroughly indoctrinated with with leftists' notions at our expense.

A few FReepers like gray_ whiskers have begun to think about how to attack this set up and try to deprive the left of some of its public financing. At the same time we should be thinking about how we can be financed, whether out of the public trough or privately. It is a tautology but nonetheless true that no effort that is not financially self-sustaining will sustain itself.
