Conservatives should keep up the fight...we got to win against big government. We need to fight against all forms of LIBERALISM, including RINOism. We need to fight with primaries against RINOs. We don’t need more lawyers in the house, we need people who are business owners, retail clerks, programmers, even students. We don’t need more big government morons, we need STATE RIGHTS people.
I am sorry to say, and thought I would never say it -- but the great experiment is over, and for me, when I come to FR, what I look for now is where the process is going toward the next phase, whatever that may be.
My wise old dad, a lifelong capitalist, WWII veteran, optimist, compassionate man who converted many liberals to conservatism as I watched, and one of the very most brilliant and prescient political minds I've ever known, on a par with Thomas Sowell, had sadly accepted it when he died a few years ago at the age of 90. Even then, I was still all for keeping up the fight, thought he was being a pessimist and negative even though he had never been any of those things in practice.
But while I am an optimist, I am also a realist. Yes, being a realist means seeing the world through CLEAR glasses rather than the pessimist's smoke-colored glasses or the Pollyanna's rose-colored glasses. So I happily see the good, such as the FACT that most of the time, the majority of FReepers see the truth of things, including the Waco "shootout" charade (at least among those who've expressed an opinion one way or another, those of us who smell a big Fed-fat rat are twice as large in real numbers as those here who believe the MSM/police narrative).
But our military has been systematically, deliberately sabotaged to lose in an armed conflict against an all-male opposition. Our national media has even conservatives regarding its word as "truth," from The History Channel documentaries to "reality shows" and Sons of Anarchy, so Americans watch as a primary demographic of patriots is targeted, then harshly and severely punished without due process for exercising their right to free association at a public political gathering of so-called "criminals" made legendary by the MSM. Most important of all, a minority of tyrants has put themselves in POLITICAL OFFICE via vote fraud, and continues to do so.
The deck is stacked against us so that the only way to "win" is to end the game altogether and embark on another one; playing it according to the established rules -- primaries, states' rights, elections -- is guaranteed to lose because the deck is stacked in favor of the left. They HAVE to cheat because they are the minority.
I hope I'm wrong, I hope I eat very tasty crow and join good FReepers like you in November of 2016 after Ted Cruz, the ONLY guy who comprehends and offers the beginnings of the antidote, has just been elected president.
But after 2012, I ain't holdin' my breath.
