Thanks. I would add that there has been far too much loose talk on the right about choosing a hill to die on. I am not interested in finding a hill to die on. I am interested in finding a hill on which to break the enemy’s attack, and from which to launch a counterattack. The internal tensions in the democrat coalition are a good place to look.

We should always be on the attack. Channeling Patton this morning ....

Indiana, Michigan, and wisconsin have all gone RTW in various degrees, Indiana all the way. That may be more important than anything that happens in Washington in the next four years. There should be a steady media campaign in Illinois, Ohio, and Pennsylvania highlighting every new job in the RTW states and every job lost in the union thug states, and mocking the union tool pols who hold their states back. And I would go all in for school choice, and campaign nonstop in black communities. Obama chose Sidwell for his daughters and locks your kids in lousy schools. Shame, shame, shame —

Attack.

Obama’s No. 1 and No. 2 allies in destroying the GOP seem to be John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, who must be closet Democrats.

he'll be number #1 on America's $hit list. Bet on it.

Oh, no, NEVER bet on the American people to do the right thing; Nancy Pelosi, I believe it was, just said that 50 percent are totally incompetent.

Half the morons we are made to suffer on TV would fold into the fetal position when denied their Starbuck’s white mocha frappaccino by 9:00 AM daily.

I disagree with this statement, Bshaw; that's what Southerners thought in 1860, that "weak" Yankees wouldn't fight to keep the South in the Union. But it turned out that southerners paid far more per capita in tariffs than did the northern peoples. They went to war to obtain southern wealth. Mississippi was the fourth or fifth wealthiest state in 1860. And today, we would find a wide legion in the North in particularly willing to take up arms to advance socialism, whether actual weapons or political control. Once men get into the notion that they can take away the wealth of a "rich" neighbor, there is tyranny.

I agree - we should go on the attack. How can we get any support if we just skulk off and prepare to die?

This is very difficult because the media, which decides what ideas to talk about and what ideas to ignore, is not only not on our side but actively opposed to us (”us” being defined as people whose ideas run counter to the socialists’ totalitarian plans).

But it can have still an effect on the local level.

In addition, we have some excellent thinkers, such as Newt Gingrich, and even some emerging leaders already in elected office outside of the state government sphere, such as Mario Rubio and Ted Cruz. I don’t think the battle is lost by any means, although I do expect the left to become increasingly fierce and repressive, and I think Barry’s second term is going to be even less fun than his first.

“Go for the throat” sounds like a call to battle. Bring it bitches.”””

Isn’t this ‘news person’ calling for attacks on members of Congress, and state legislatures, duly elected by the people???

Shouldn’t he have to defend himself against an indictment for such remarks???

Isay this is a direct threat against Republican party members, elected or voters.

You're right - if we talked in that - the language of violence - Homeland Security would be called. I guess liberal elites get passes. Well, passes from each other - like elite thugs in every banana republic.

Well, then you cheer for Obozo, Pelosi, and Reid.

As I see it.. HISTORY has ALWAYS shown that any leader operating such as Obumbler has always brought the roof down on himself because the people FINALLY wake up and choose to move on..

Maybe you're hoping for, in the long term, a first time win for the bad guys?

I'll ALWAYS wager on GOOD eventually prevailing because "EVERYTHING happens with a GREATER GOOD in mind." That means sometimes the worst of things must occur so we finally understand what NOT to do.

I don’t know about that. I have seem the same sentiment being expressed here, so Dickerson and Obama and GOP-hating Freepers here (of whom there is a large number) can all work together...

Once the dollar collapses, and the GAO says it will, he'll be number #1 on America's $hit list. Bet on it.

But he will be the everloving hero of the hard left. And, as far as being enemy #1, I do not think he cares. I do not think his handlers care either.

As a matter of fact, I believe that the lefties, as demonstrated by this CBS puke, will simply blame any republican they can.

I have been saying for the longest time: unions are the Democrats army. Cut off the funds to the army. When Dem politicians cannot depend on union money and ground dummies to do their bidding, they are severely weakened.

Attack - It should be a Repub party automatic reaction. When the lefties call for "Gun Control", the Repubs should go 180 degrees in the opposite direction, whatever that may be. More gun shows, more "loop holes", tax breaks for gun manufacturers and dealers, etc.
