Good one from Stanley Kurtz at NRO.

“the mainstream media and our key cultural institutions are now in the hands of an increasingly ambitious Left. The media barely hides its bias now,”

And what’s new about that? It’s been true for as long as I can remember, and I’m not a youngster.

Romney is a leftist. Doesn’t even qualify as a RINO. Would fit right in as a Democrat with his leftist/progressive positions on:

Abortion
Homosexuals
Gun control
Global warming
Compulsory/mandated health insurance
Keynesian economics
Liberal judges

Fundamentally, this is because what President Obama and the increasingly left-leaning coalition he leads actually want is impossibly far from what red America is willing to accept.

It's unacceptable to us, or most of us anyway, because we must pay for what Obama and the left want.

notice that the dems, whose ideology is socialist, were associated with the color 'red' until as recently as the 2000 election

obviously, they wanted to create some distance between the socialist red color and their public image

"Now that both sides are out in the open and fully aware of the danger to their preferred ways of life posed by the other camp, we are entering an era of struggle and division that, if anything, exceeds what we’ve lived through for the past twelve years. This isn’t the beginning of the end of our divisions. It’s only the end of the beginning."

CWII Ping because this article, while not explicitly citing the term, is all about conditions of utter division between the two sides.

[what's up]

A Romney victory won’t quiet our national conflicts either. Although a Romney victory would be taken by conservatives as proof that we are still a center-right nation, the fact is that the mainstream media and our key cultural institutions are now in the hands of an increasingly ambitious Left

Not so sure about this.

If Romney wins with a GOP Congress and passes enough stimulative legislation in the first 100 days (and by "stimulative" I mean REAL stimulation like a reversal of Obacacare and enactment of Ryancare, reversal of Dodd-Frank, and tax reform) those who truly are clueless about what's going on (including some Democrat voters) are going to see very dramatic changes in the economy.

The "increasingly ambitious left" Kurtz mentions above are going to see their influence wane even more among these citizens who will become convinced that the conservatives were right about the economy. Thus, even though these moonbats might be increasingly ambitious, they will lose even more of their power. Conservatives will take more of a stake in institutions. The far left's current screams are those who are terrified of LOSING power, not GAINING it.

So if the Muzzies detonate suitcase nukes in a few large urban areas (Boston, NYC, Chicago, and LA come to mind immediately), the grip of the DemocRAT Party on America will be broken?

Sounds like a small price to pay.

[Jay Redhawk]

I agree with the premise of the article because we do have two Americas. Leftists are not my fellow countrymen, they are not my friends, and I do not care to live beside them. Something needs to give and it ain’t gonna be me.

Two Tickets, One to take our country back, the other will send it to hell.

Romney/Ryan to save and take our country back.

Obama/Biden to send our country to hell.

No other tickets can save it our place it in peril Will you vote to save our country? If you write-in a candidate or ticket, then you send our country to Hell!!!
