A Call to Action
American Thinker.com ^ | August 21, 2021 | Sally Zelikovsky

Posted on 08/21/2021 2:37:47 AM PDT by Kaslin

Probably the most truthful thing Nancy Pelosi has ever uttered is “We [Democrats] don’t agonize. We organize.” For decades, Democrats have been strategically honing extensive networks that coordinate action and funding between government agencies, elected officials, NGOs, corporations, schools, houses of worship, cultural institutions, unions, industries, and now the military. They are the industrious ant colonies of politics.

Republicans, on the other hand, do not organize. We agonize. We are more comfortable wringing our hands, quoting the Founding Fathers, listening to talk radio, and going on cruises than organizing and taking meaningful action. We are the Woody Allens of politics.

No doubt there are Republicans and conservatives who indefatigably dedicate endless hours to politics. But for those who’ve tried to herd conservative cats and nudge them to action, the “assiduous conservative activist” appears to be an outlier.

I honestly don’t know why, so I fall back on It’s just not in our DNA. Maybe we so value our privacy that we prefer going it alone? Maybe our rugged individualism makes us hopelessly self-sufficient? Maybe Don’t Tread on Me implicitly promises And I Won’t Tread on You?

Whatever the reason, the country is under a coordinated attack from within and if we don’t organize and take action, America will wither on the vine.

The good news is that Democrats have so wildly overplayed their hand, they’ve proven they aren’t sincere negotiating partners who share our goals for America. There is no reason, then, for Republicans to cross the aisle.

What about their Achilles Heel? Ask any Republican to pinpoint a major weakness of the American left and the silence is deafening. How can we defeat a political enemy without identifying their vulnerabilities?

Sally erroneously thinks that Republicans are in opposition to Democrats when in fact they are in on it.

Not all Republicans, not even all Democrats are in on it. But enough to make a ruling coalition are in on it.

So it’s not an R or D thing.

It’s a ruling cartel thing.

And like all such cartels, the control is centralized via enforcement, in this case unions including public and quasi public government employee unions are the vertical command and control group that carry out policy of governing cartels.

I see it like this:

Their side happily breaks the law to achieve their goals.
Our side (With rare exceptions) refuses to go after them for it.

I’m reminded of John Belushi’s iconic rant in Animal House:

“Ooh, we’re afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble.”

Yeah. That’s our side.

To the point that they steal presidential elections and get away with it.

We conservatives go to work and start companies. We don’t have time to “organize.” marxist jerks and democrats make activism and government a profession. They study it. They live it. 24/7. They have perfected raping tax payers to fund it. There is nothing they won’t do.

Uniparty was used in the 2000s and 2010s.

It’s now a coup originating from within and from without.

Cartel and Regime are more appropriate now.

Words matter.

Manchin, Sinema, Jones are more conservative than Collins, Murkowski.

There are a few Dem House members who vote with Republicans and are inclined to switch parties but are held back by their constituents.

Switching from the Democrat Party to the Republican Party can be like switching from the Gambinos to the Colombos.

I don’t respond to Central_Idiot.

> “We don’t have time to “organize.”

You will have no choice and very soon. Either that or you will comply and keep quiet as the fences go up around you.

You’re stuck thinking of work and business. Those are on the chopping block. You apparently don’t know what’s in store.

First up is the Calif. recall. Next are the races in Va. No mention of it in this article.

Newsom’s goons are busy rigging the recall. Seriously.

Don’t look for a win in the recall. The Four Families of California will never allow their power to be taken away. They are organized crime.

And don’t look to Elder. He has stated last week that Biden won fair and square.
