Whether it’s 4-in-10 or 5-in-10 who APPROVE of this idiot after all we’ve seen of him, the reality is that 2012 was probably lost 21 years ago when anti-Reagan suburban liberal schoolteachers were breeding.

The real challenge is getting some of the 4-in-10 to change from loving welfare and lying communists to preferring hard work, deferred gratification and capitalism.

THAT’S NOT POSSIBLE TILL THE NEXT GENERATION AT THE EARLIEST.

And that’s why the Establishment GOP is concentrating on the 5th-in-10 wishy washy indy-idiot who vacillates between liking Obama and disapproving.

I’ve been wondering.. do Democratic Party moles run the national Republican Party? I am pretty sure California Democrats have run the California Republican Party for years.. at least since the mid 1990s.

I'm not so sure. There is a satisfaction which comes with doing a job and doing it well, and something else: self-respect.

Granted, there are those who have acquired a taste for the ersatz of "self-esteem" they've been fed all their parasitic lives, but for many, one taste of self-respect can be a game-changer.

That won't save all, probably not even half who get the chance, but it will get through to some.

They'll be the ones who help the following generation advance, if our 'caring' government quits lavishing them with the means to keep slacking.

OTOH, when we go broke because none in the Federal Government had the guts to dry up the teat and wean them, there will be Hell to pay for a while, and fewer to support afterward.

"The average age of the world's great civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith from spiritual faith to great courage from courage to liberty from liberty to abundance from abundance to selfishness from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy from apathy to dependency from dependency back to bondage."

-- Alexander Fraser Tytler (1742-1813)

Can you reconcile this theory with the 2010 election results?

In your second paragraph you refer to the 4 in 10 who love welfare and lying commuists to preferring hard work, etc. Does this mean you believe that because we have jumped from 5% unemployment to 15% under and unemployment, that suddenly 10% of our population now loves welfare when a few years ago they loved a job??
