Its Not Game Over Its Time for the GOP to Counterattack
Townhall.com | January 9, 2013 | Kurt Schlichter/ Posted by Kaslin
The current state of the GOP brings to mind the surviving Marines in “Aliens,” with no shortage of demoralized hacks lamenting their inability to resist by channeling Private Hudson: Maybe you haven’t been keeping up on current events but we just got our a**** kicked, pal! ——
So what? So we took a hit on the Fiscal Cliff. Stand up, brush off and get back into the fight. This is no time for self-pity, no time for weakness. Every combat leader knows that when you take a hit, you regroup, reorganize, and prepare to counterattack.

And guns talk about a golden opportunity to defeat Obama while also helping set the stage for a Democrat wipe-out in 2014! Obama and his progressive pals are giddy with the idea that Newtown will let them jam through a whole slew of Second Amendment-trashing measures before everyone starts thinking again. If Obamas actually foolish enough to proceed and I am not sure he is hes setting himself up for a huge loss.
GOP, remember Napoleons admonition to never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. Let Obama try and force the red state Democrat senators to come out against guns. Let the Democrats tear themselves up while we watch and gobble popcorn.
Heck, we should egg them on like by trying to force a Senate vote on, say, a provision which reaffirms the right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms for the protection of their families and communities and directs that all federal law shall be interpreted toward preserving and protecting that right. Lets see how all those Democrats paying lip service to the Second Amendment feel about voting on that.
And if some bill finally limps out of the Senate, hopefully without a single GOP vote, Speaker Boehner should mimic Harry Reids fiscal cliff antics and just let it die. No debate. No discussion. No vote. Obamas dream of disarming his opponents, paid for with the careers of several sitting Democrat senators, will die in the hopper.It will be a thing of beauty.
Remember, this is an existential crisis for our country. Now is not the time to govern; its the time to defeat Obama and his radical left-wing agenda. No, you cant say that out loud simpering wimps will shudder and fret. Just do it, even as you talk about working together and compromising and hugging and all that goo-goo baloney. Republican, quit shouting, Game over, man! Game over!
Counterattack, seize the initiative, and start winning again. Play for keeps. Stop channeling Hudson and start channeling Ripley. Its time to figuratively nuke the site from orbit its the only way to be sure.
“Its time to figuratively nuke the site from orbit its the only way to be sure.”
We lost the election, so democratic cooperation is useless.
Obama refuses to play by the norms of negotiation (see fiscal cliff).
We must revert to democratic sabotage at every point. Hold up every bill, refuse to fund anything, filibuster, investigate, no matter the costs.
