<p dir="ltr">Ambassador Stevens and the others killed in the Benghazi attack knew about the arms deal. It was top secret, and Congress was never told about it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Facts are somewhat sketchy as to what triggered the attack because those secrets may have died with those who were killed. But it has been proven that it had nothing to do about anger over a Mohammed video.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In piecing together the puzzle, my research at the time led me to first understand that Obama drew no distinction between true freedom fighters in both Libya and Syria and al Quaida and Isis allies who were on their side to help oust Khaddafi and Asad of Syria. In fact, there was no vetting process to determine which factions were legit and which were al Qaeda and ISIS.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Obama armed the Lybian rebels and assisted them with military strikes against Libyan forces so that they could complete the mission of having Khaddafi killed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">After the mission was complete, those in charge in the state department to carry out Obama's policy of supporting the Syrian rebels assisted the Lybian rebels in arranging an arms sale to the Syrian rebels.</p>
<p dir="ltr">There was growing concern in the United States that any arms sent even legitimately and above board to the Syrian rebels could fall into the hands of ISIS which now had a strong presence in Syria.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Much like what happened in Iran-Contra, because the president was getting much pushback on arming the rebels legitimately, his "Oliver North" people went with the secret gun running operation. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The difference between Iran-Contra and Benghazi-gate, however is that Reagan never actually knew about the deal whearas Obama did. Also, no one died in Iran-Contra and those involved eventually told the story.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Benghazi-gate is Iran-Contra on super steroids and is thousands of times worse (people died, the president and secretary of state knew and we were arming al Qaida and ISIS, our enemies!)</p>
<p dir="ltr">After ruling out all other possibilities, the only smoke I could find was when al Quaida in Libya became concerned that the deal would go bad because there was talk back at the State department that the deal might be too risky.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It can only be deducted that al Qaida either perceived they were getting shafted in the deal or something actually went down in the embassy that would actually have caused them to get shafted in the deal.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Either way, it doesn't matter. The light answer is that Obama didn't want to have to own a terror attack on our embassy and had it covered up. The heavy answer is that it was an arms deal gone bad. Either way, the killing of our people and the ensuing cover-up was an outrage.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The email from Hillary Clinton to Chelsea Clinton clearly shows proof that it was a terror attack. But it was even more than that. Something triggered al Qaida to attack. The motive was beyond terrorism, it was anger and revenge.</p>
<p dir="ltr">During the attack, an order to stand down was issued to our military who could've possibly saved those lives if they were allowed to engage. It can't be proven who gave the order because everyone was sworn to secrecy,</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, had those four lived, they would've been compelled to testify under oath to Congress and spill the beans on the whole operation. It would have destroyed the Obama presidency and cost him the 2012 election. Thus the stand down order. Thus the allowance of the death of those 4 people.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Prior to the 2008 election and going back way before Reagan, the liberal media controlled the narrative. President George W Bush and Republican strategists took the approach that the American people would not buy into the media narrative. But, they did. In 2008, Barack Obama was elected president because of what John Ziegler called media malpractice.</p>
<p dir="ltr">When Sarah Palin was nominated to be the 2008 VP candidate, the media and the Obama campaign went into panic mode. The groundswell of forgotten people, the silent majority, coming out in full throated chants of "Sarah, Sarah" was the reaction from millions of Americans who found their voice in her. Then the media onslaught ensued.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The false stories started pouring out of Alaska about her pregnancy with Trig, the rape kits that she supposedly denied victims and how she said she could see Russia from her house. We all know how the media embarked on a campaign to destroy her all the way through her governorship.</p>
<p dir="ltr">There was no anti media fire back then. She had no cover. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Since then, conservative media has grown in leaps and bounds. Those who shared the blogosphere with this writer went on to become great warriors and suddenly the Palin army was on the move.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Palin went on to lead Tea Party rallies and made another breakthrough by explaining crony capitalism in her speeches and on social media. It was her extension of her go along to get along meme in many of her prior speeches.</p>
<p dir="ltr">She was never in the position to take on a vicious media. Swept out of Alaska and into what turned out to be an inept John McCain presidential campaign run by Steve Schmidt, she was thrust into the national spotlight only to be left undefended by a campaign not ready to fight.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Fast forward to a restaurant in New York where she and Donald Trump met for a slice of pizza. From that day forward, the game was on. She had led her high school basketball team not as their star, but as the most important position player in the game. She did it again.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Trump announced his candidacy and Palin was on board. No money exchanged hands. No political deal was struck. Sarah Palin had drawn the silent majority out of exile and rallied them around the shining city on a hill that had been turned into a second class urban decay zone by President Barack Obama.</p>
<p dir="ltr">When Sarah Palin said on Facebook the day after she resigned her governorship that she didn't have to be the lead, she may have never realized, nor did her supporters, that when she said she could still be an agent for change that this is how it would go down.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That silent majority that Palin roused from their doldrums became the Trump movement. And when it came time to take back that now dulling city on a hill and make it shine again, the monster that Palin had created needed a bullwark. Sarah needed a big guy with a canon directed at the media and the establishment.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And with one slice of pizza, she knew that we were standing in front of the door to the city. She knew that door needed to be busted down so that we could all get back in and make that city great again.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The only way to take that city back would be to first defeat 16 rivals in the Republican party. Though all good men and women, no one had the strategy. Defeat the media. Be fearless against liberalism. Tell the truth, no matter how politically incorrect it may be. We were outsiders. The only one who could lead us would have to be an outsider.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Palin taught us that by her example and by her words. She inspired a movement that led to us electing the most unconventional candidate of our time. What made Palin supporters Palin supporters is that which made us Trump supporters.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The draft of this post has been sitting here waiting for me to finish it. But before I went back to complete it, I saw my friend Tony Lee at Breitbart had already done a better job of explaining it than I did.</p>
<p dir="ltr">He saved me a lot of writing. Read this gem, which was also tweeted by Sarah Palin herself, and you will know why we really took our country back.</p>

<p dir="ltr">That information should have been classified and immediately brought to the president and vice president in private. Then the VP (not Reince Priebus) could have recommended that Flynn step down later.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Obama is creating a shadow government within our government. There are still many bureaucrats in there that are in on it. </p>
<p dir="ltr">If anything, we need to find the source of the leaks and Trump needs to start firing people within the intelligence community and the general bureucracy.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The CIA, the FBI and the federal bureaucracy is not happy that they are no longer running the country. Trump is an existential threat to the "real government" and they don't like it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And the media is running the front line war. They are the opposition party.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This is not kool aid drinking. This is reality. If liberals can step back and get off the non-existent yoga rugs that were never actually in Hillary emails that she bleach bitted, then maybe we can start looking at the realities of the situation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So when Hillary does underhanded stuff, we need to rely on Wikileaks to hack the information? When Flynn has a conversation, its okay for American intelligence agencies to record and leak the information?</p>
<p dir="ltr">In a sense, the liberals are taking a page out of our playbook which we stole from their playbook. So kudos. But their hypocrisy is so glaringly obvious when liberals accuse conservatives of doing the same thing they were doing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These are the new rules of politics. If anything, Saul Alinsky taught us a lot. Republicans must continue to fight using his strategy. Saul Alinsky is to politics what the strategist in football who invented the forward pass is. Once the opponents started using it, the games got good.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Alinsky tactics work no matter which side of the aisle you are on. Donald Trump taught the GOP to take on the media bias. It's up to to Republicans to learn and move the ball forward. May the games continue.</p>

"the carnage" comes to an end. With the replacement of the crimson drapes in the oval office with gold ones, the cleaning and the buffing begins. America is starting to become that shining city on a hill again.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Tea Party movement and the conservative movement can take heart in the fact that no one in their camps ever killed a cop, burned an American flag, lit a car on fire or looted a store. We may have done a little fighting amongst ourselves in blogs and on social media, but even the remaining #nevertrump folks on our side don't need therapy dogs or safe spaces.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As the city begins to shine again, we are optimistic that the "hood like" nature of Obama's America with murders in Chicago, police being killed and the long welfare and food stamp lines will give way to rule of law and economic prosperity while many leave the welfare lines to go to work at the newly created jobs that are on the way.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This is not a racist analysis. This is a mathematical one. African Americans have long been kept on the government dole in order to keep them voting for the Democrats. With a blazing economy, many will be going from the hood to the crib on their own dime earned in a booming Trump economy. Casting a ballot for them will no longer be a vote to take what others earn, but to keep what they earn.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The city will shine for all races regardless of their ideological or sexual orientation. The only thing that can hold back identity politics oriented individuals will be themselves. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Throwing tantrums, whining and complaining or protesting without a legitimate grievance will make whatever identity or splinter group you say you are part of look silly and less credible. The rest of us grown ups will be Americans regardless of what we do in our bedrooms or bathrooms because there is no room in the public square to impose one life style or belief system over another.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Patriotism will trump prejudice, as our President said. We are all Americans first. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm willing to keep my lifestyle out of your face if you're willing to keep your lifestyle out of mine. But if you want to go make some money together, work together or help people together, sign me up.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Let's keep the garbage out of legislation and let's go live freely. Our magic is not in how we can regulate each other, our magic is in our hearts. No healthcare mandate or EPA regulation can make us better. If one is not living by the golden rule then that's on them. It's not on us.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We can make and live by our own decisions. We don't need government to do that for us. We have been given a great responsibility by having been blessed with freedom. Give up responsibility, give up freedom.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The power is being returned to the people. If we can handle it, just watch this city shine again.</p>

<img src="https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.M8df67257e61ac024c8ee08a48bbe0c09o0&w=231&h=300&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0" /></div>
<br />
The late Andrew Breitbart inspired this writer to work up a strategy for how the Republican party could win again after McCain lost in 2008. That heartbreaking loss caused this blogger to dig deep into his knowledge of political theory and to heavily research not only the cause of the loss, but what the cure could be. I developed an intense love and interest in political science while in college during the Reagan years and ended up getting a B.A. in it. But the real learning came in the last 8 years of misery endured under a feckless Obama administration while researching and writing about the strategy necessary to take our country back. The theory that came out of that was basically to beat them at their own game. Donald Trump ultimately proved this theory right.<br />
<br />
When Sarah Palin hit the scene, she opened the door into the modern Republican party for the conservative, Reagan wing of the party that had been slowly shut out since the nineties by the party establishment. She articulated the true philosophy that going along to get along does not work. Andrew Breitbart, once a liberal insider knew why and how the Democrats kept winning despite the fact that we are a center right county. He opened my eyes to their strategy of brainwashing and personal destruction.<br />
<br />
Republicans for years had been playing by an old stale playbook. The strategy of moving to the center and campaigning with civil discourse underpinned by a mistaken assumption that all political players on both sides in the game were driven by good intentions wasn't working. The left was using Saul Alinsky tactics and infiltrating the most powerful institutions in our country to obtain and maintain control while Republicans went home after every election only to come back for the next one to once again scratch their heads wondering why they lost again.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the media was controlling the thought processes of millions of Americans, and the Republican establishment and their strategists just kept on insisting that we need to moderate in order to win. In other words, give in and become more liberal. That was the wrong answer. The best strategy was right in front of the Republican's eyes. It was already invented... by Democrats.<br />
<br />
The first football team to use the forward pass could only keep winning until their opponents realized that they, too, would have to use the forward pass.<br />
<br />
Republican strategists have cost us countless elections because they didn't know what they were doing. They thought we had pneumonia, and were treating it with anti-biotics when in fact we had cancer and needed chemotherapy.<br />
<br />
The left was winning because they were infiltrating and controlling the media, the pop culture and the academia. The only way to stop them was to beat them at their own game. People might say you can't wrestle with a pig because you both come out dirty. What if the pig has already dragged you into the mud?! They have such a good play book, why waste it by letting them use it against us while we run Steve Schmidt style presidential campaigns? Donald Trump proved me right. It's the strategy, stupid.<br />
<br />
The Breitbart website and to some extent Fox News proved that we on the right can also use the media to get our thoughts into the minds of Americans. The only difference between us using the strategy and them using the strategy is we have truth on our side. So why not use it?<br />
<br />
By educating the people about how corrupt and biased the media is, our movement did so much to take back our country. We still need to do more work in academia. We are producing more brain dead millennials who come out of institutions of higher indoctrination than ever before. But we'll eventually find a way to get more conservative theory taught in colleges. We are, however, making slow gains in the pop culture. We have Tim Tebow. We have Tom Brady, Chuck Norris and Clint Eastwood. We also have used memes and videos on You Tube and social media to to get our points across while effectively trashing people like Madonna, Beyonce and Jay Z,<br />
<br />
But the real killer is that we just elected a pop culture icon as president. Bam. Mic drop!<br />
<br />
While some in our own party resisted, we true patriots managed to pull it together and keep it together in amazing fashion. The Israelites had Moses while they wandered the desert shut out of their shining city of Jerusalem until they finally got back it. We didn't have a Moses while we wandered our desert. We had some loud mouthed billionaire that some people thought was a monster. But when the time came to take a battering ram and bust down the door to the shining city on a hill, we needed a monster.<br />
<br />
Trump has smashed that door down and now we are all pouring back into the shining city on a hill. We have our country back. Tears of great joy should be shed at this massive accomplishment. I told the never Trumpers just let him do it and everyone would be okay.<br />
<br />
Republicans could never win unless we first took the party back. Take the party back then take the country back. What did Trump do? He took the party back for us first and finished the job by taking the country back for us. Strategy well executed.<br />
<br />
We who embraced Sarah Palin, the Tea Party and the anti-establishment movement can pat ourselves on the back because we knew that regardless of what people would think of our leader, this was our only way back in. Ultimately, Donald Trump took on the media for us. Like Mike Pence said, sometimes it felt like the contest was two on one. Trump also took on the establishment of both parties for us, and he proved you didn't need instruments or entertainers to pack large venues. Isn't this what we have been trying to do all along for the last eight years?<br />
<br />
So the theory worked. We beat the media. Despite their unwillingness to cover Wikileaks, the Clinton sex scandals, the emails, the Clinton foundation and Benghazi, Trump broke through that wall like the kool aid guy and everyone knew about all of that despite the mass media's attempts to tell us there's nothing to see there. Step one to taking back the city, get people to know the media lies.<br />
<br />
We beat the pop culture. Jay Z, Beyonce, Bruce and Miley couldn't put it back together again.<br />
<br />
We beat the go along to get along concept. While the Republican establishment was wetting themselves over Trump's straight forward style that they thought would turn off moderates and minorities, regular folks weren't looking at what ideology or color they were. They were looking at making sure our country didn't go down the tubes. And boy, were we close to losing this great Republic. I mean, we were really really close.<br />
<br />
The Reagan theory of no pale pastels was also proven right once again. Articulate the philosophy proudly. Conservatism is and will always be the best political philosophy to follow while running our nation. We are not racists or bigots. We are Americans.<br />
<br />
Conservative ideas won. Immigration, tax reform, the second amendment, the protection of the unborn and repealing Obamacare were the staple of Trump's message. We retained both houses of Congress and will be able to appoint good justices to the Supreme Court. Mealy mouthed moderates who were saying Trump couldn't beat her but Romney could can sit down now. We can be thankful that our message and our beliefs based in the God given natural laws of truth will ultimately win out.<br />
<br />
We beat the go along to get alongs. Yeah, Trump was sometimes brash and harsher than many would have liked him to be. But for decades liberal surrogates have been worse. We used the same strategy, only it made people nervous because our front man was using it. Even liberals never had their front man do the dirty work. So, for those Republicans who think we need to be more moderate or change our beliefs so we can tell people what the establishment thinks they want to hear, take this election as proof positive that way doesn't work. It didn't when Reagan won, and it didn't when Trump won.<br />
<br />
There was no other way to do this.<br />

<p dir="ltr">After the 2008 election, we watched Sarah Palin shed a tear as John McCain gave his concession speech. What went wrong? Relying on old school strategy, public funds and a traditional establishment strategy, the Republican party got its ass kicked. A change in strategy was necessary. As a movement, those who wanted it that badly have found its voice and battering ram.</p>
<p dir="ltr">When Dr. Ben Carson speaks and writes, you will understand. When you read what the late great Andrew Breitbart wrote and said, you will understand. When you listen to what Governor Sarah Palin has said, you will understand. Allow me to twist James Carville's words: it's the strategy, stupid.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We've reverse Alinsky-ized them. Ridicule Black Lives matter. Ridicule an email deleting political hack. Ridicule the GOP establishment. Take to social media to post blazing poignant memes portraying Obama as a terrorist sympathizer and Hillary Clinton wearing prison clothes. Brilliant!</p>
<p dir="ltr">That's how you take it back!</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Republican party has never, until now, recognized the reason why they lose all the time. Yes, we know entrenched establishment politics and the go along to get along strategy was their greatest weakness. But, the real reason they lost so much is they never (until now) recognized that the Democrats were using a different playbook. Their plays worked.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Democrats used Saul Alinsky's "Rules For Radicals" the way football coaches used their playbooks. They control the media, the pop culture and academia. They eliminate God from the discussion for the sole purpose of removing truth from the equation. Insert God and the truth, use their playbook and we win.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We get that now, finally.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Palin movement melded into the Tea Party movement. The Tea Party movement melded into the pro-Constitution "We the People movement" which spun off our most cynical members. They went with Ted Cruz, who bet his personal political ambitions on the loss of his party's best chance of winning the presidency. But the bulk of us are still here to finish this thing off.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The victory we await requires strong hearts and strong stomachs. We have wanted this for 8 years. Now we stand outside the city, armed to the teeth with an anti-media pop culture icon candidate with conservative kids who have been through the halls of academia.</p>
<p dir="ltr">How are we doing so far?</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you want a field general to take back the Shining City on a Hill, you need a guy who can kick the crap out of the media, lead pop culture and show America how academia won't destroy the minds of children that are brought up with the right upbringing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I would hope that Andrew Breitbart is smiling down from heaven seeing how far we've come. If you're going to take back America, first you have to take back the Republican party. We've done that.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Now, the business at hand is to rhetorically blundgeon Hillary Clinton so bad that she lays on the metaphorical pavement with the political blood coming out of her party's head.</p>
<p dir="ltr">There will be no shutting down Palin from using the words "palling around with terrorists." Steve Schmidt is gone. There will be no Romney wussying out on Benghazi. He's a washed up has been that was never there. There will be fire and brimstone against the media and against Hillary. We finally have someone that can do this.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The movement is the American people. They chose one of their own, a private citizen, over 17 talented politicians because they know that politicians are all talk and no action. <br>
Perfect or not, Donald Trump is the battering ram that we know can not only bust through the door of a city on a hill that has lost his shine. He will allow us to restore its luster.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We didn't need the most polished, perfect guy in the world. We needed a winner. We have one now.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Because he is beating them at their own game, we will win. We've waited long enough. The time has come. Let the naysayers jump off the bandwagon when we're this close. We can win win without them. The rest of us are going in and we're taking back the city and we're going to make it shine on that hill again!</p>

Some may say he's not a true conservative, but an intelligent businessman knows to deal in reality when solving real problems. As such, Trump will do the conservative things not because he's an ideologue but because he is smart enough to know that true solutions work.</p>
<p dir="ltr">When establishment Republicans continue to attack Trump for telling it like it is, it tells me they don't know how to win. The GOP has been loosing because it keeps pushing milquetoast candidates like Mitt Romney. Conservatives sucked it up and voted for him.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We have a winner in Trump. He'll run it like a business and take no guff from our adversaries. He will repeal and replace Obamacare. He will kick the hell out of ISIS. He'll be strong on immigration. He's pro-life and pro second amendment. He's our only shot at getting conservative Supreme Court justices.</p>
<p dir="ltr">What else does the GOP want in their candidate, and why are even some conservatives carping? Backing Trump means we take it back. What's the worst thing that can happen? We take it back and figure it out later.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For the naysayers and worrywarts, while I believe Trump can do it, if he can't we will still be heading in a better direction than under Hillary.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Vote wisely.</p>

Only George W. Bush has won, and it was in overtime. </span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">Whether you like Donald Trump or not, we all disagree with the liberal philosophy of those who run on the Democrat side. Government can't do it all and it spends like a drunken sailor. Say what you say about Donald Trump, but he is not a liberal. Is he the perfect conservative? No. But he is not Hillary Clinton.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">Government can keep us safe from outside aggressors, mediate disputes among the states and promote the general welfare by using what is supposed to be constitutional limited power (which today it's not) to make sure the lights stay on, the roads are good and that people can conduct business freely, legally and without the burdens of regulation and social engineering. The last time I checked the Constitution, I didn't see any power enumerated to the Federal Government that allowed it to regulate or micro-manage the people into conforming with deluded Utopian views.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">The Federal Government was designed by our founders to be the referee for the states and individuals, as well as the protector of the rights granted in the Bill of Rights. It was not designed to pick winners or losers or favor one group or special interest over another. Under the rule of establishment leaders from both parties, this whole idea has been dying a death by a thousand cuts.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">The reason why the GOP establishment can't beat the Democrats or achieve their legislative goals when they control Congress is because they are outdated in their style, approach and strategy. They remain beholden to special interests and are locked into an old power structure which allows them to govern outside the will of the people. They become out of touch with the people as they become entrenched within a system where the highest motivation is to protect their own power and positions, even if doing so is at the expense of the will of the people.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">In the past, the electorate became cynical and began to accept this setup. However, as the country fell deeper and deeper into debt and the internet helped people learn more about the inner workings of government, more ideas flourished and the people became more empowered to have more of a say in their government. They were no longer insulated from the truth by the mainstream media. They could now take to the internet and social media to not only learn why things were getting so bad, but to also develop a stronger belief that they could actually fix it knowing that there really are millions of other similar voices out there that want it fixed as well.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">With the rise of Andrew Breitbart and the Tea Party movement after the election of 2008, the notion that you can't beat city hall died as dozens of establishment republicans were sent packing after losing primaries to those candidates who more effectively represented the true will of the people, not the media version. The people could now connect online and learn new tactics and strategies. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">The first step was to examine why liberals were always winning even though their ideas are severely flawed. Once we figured that part out, we could now take this knowledge and use it to our advantage. The Tea Party embarked on a strategy of defeating establishment candidates through primaries. The new media grew and the proliferation of talk radio and conservative websites is now underway. Why not take back the pop culture with a candidate like Trump?</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">The problem with establishment Republicans is not so much that they are entrenched in the outdated good ole boy way of doing politics, but rather their unwillingness to accept change. Instead of embracing the will of the people and running campaigns toward that direction, they chastised the people by rejecting the Tea Party and cowering to political correctness out of fear that challenging radical Islam or standing up for traditional values would cause them to be branded as Islamaphobes or homophobes. Yet at the same time, liberals were out there mouthing off about every crazy cause from environmentalism to gay marriage knowing that there were Republicans who actually believed they would lose votes by opposing them.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">The progressive movement has been playing a rough and effective game. They apply Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals knowing full well that voters don't vote for what's true, but what they perceive to be true. They mastered the techniques of marginalization, media control, the influence of pop culture and using academia to teach leftist ideology to everyone from kindergarten through college. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">Republicans need to stop whining and complaining about this. Instead, they must recognize that the Democrats strategy works. Liberalism as a governing philosophy doesn't work, but Democratic techniques for obtaining power do work. Conservatism as a governing philosophy does work, but Republican techniques for obtaining power don't work.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">Democrats have everything they need to win. They have the mainstream media, the pop culture and academia. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">The only thing they don't have going for them is the truth. Use their strategy against them or play from a new playbook like Donald Trump has been doing, and conservatives can win. Conservatives have natural law and the truth on their side. It's the one commodity that liberals can never add to their strategy. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">Liberalism is based on an idealistic view that imperfect humans can control other imperfect humans to create an unobtainable Utopia where everyone is taken care of from cradle to grave. It's a ponzi scheme. Once no one has to work (produce), you eventually run out of other people's money and the Utopia collapses.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">Allowing society to evolve in a productive way means people have to be free to succeed and fail. Failure and poverty will always exist collectively, but are not permanent states of existence individually. A free and mobile society doesn't imprison people in generational poverty created by a welfare state. Instead, a rising tide will lift all boats. People will navigate the rough waters in their lives, but a free environment will also allow them to reach the calm waters as well.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">Beating the establishment and the left requires beating them at their own game and with their own tactics. Romney's performance in the 2012 election is a prime example of why the old textbook doesn't work. Trump's re-writing the playbook. By branding his opponents with nicknames and using his pop culture persona, Trump is getting the attention he needs to win. Barack Obama did it with his rallies, too. Although the styles are different, the desired outcome is the same. If someone is perceived as a winner (whether he is or not), the people will come.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">Whether you like it or not, we are an American Idol, Apprentice, reality show society. Candidates like Barack Obama won because they put on the best circus, not because they are good at policy. It's the strategy, stupid. Donald Trump used the strategy and defeated 16 of the best presidential candidates in the GOP primary. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">Donald Trump is not the conservative many want him to be. But, conservatives must see this as an opportunity to beat the Democrats. If Trump can lead us to the promised land, conservatives will have much better seats in the shining city than they do now. Trump is not the perfect conservative, but this writer is with him because I love the fact that someone has finally decided to throw out the old stale GOP playback and employ a strategy that gives us a much greater chance of winning. Some may want the old playbook, but it's not going to happen. We need to win! Trump's hitting hard and he's crushing his opponents the same way Democrats have done to us. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">If the strategy is the first reason to like Trump, then the second reason to like him is because the government needs to be run like a business. We the people are the investors. We are not government's servants. Trump has the business experience needed to make sure our tax dollars are not spent into the bureaucratic black hole.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="background-color: #f6f7f8; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">Here's more from my blog: </span></span><span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;"><a href="https://patricksworldusa.blogspot.com/2016/01/some-conservatives-will-get-over-it.html?">https://patricksworldusa.blogspot.com/2016/01/some-conservatives-will-get-over-it.html?</a></span></span>Patrick S.

It's an all too familiar strategy devised by the liberal media to use the shiny object of deceit and innuendo to distract viewers from the facts and push their agenda over the will of the people. Now Megyn Kelly and Fox News are using that strategy in a feeble and obvious attempt to defame, yes libel and slander Donald Trump.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Regardless of what you think about Donald Trump, if you're not alarmed by this, than you need to go read some Kafka and Orwell. If they can do it to Trump, they can do it to your candidate too when and should they become a threat to their agenda. The likes of Megyn Kelly and some of the brass at Fox News, all of MSNBC and most of CNN think they're smarter than you and they will plant whatever morsels of doubt in your head piece by piece and day by day until you succumb mentally or you're just too busy to research every claim.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The way the media employs mind control is they try to implant doubts in the voters minds. The more issues and innuendos they bring up, the more they create false smoke hoping that people will say where there's smoke there's fire. Just like they did to Palin, it's all false narratives that they run up the flagpole. Do it over and over and over, rinse and try another hit angle until they wear you down. It's a much more devious employment of the tactic that gave us the old political joke "when did you stop beating your wife?"</p>
<p dir="ltr">Folks, the media doesn't want you to vote for Trump because he supported Democrats, once said he was pro choice or had business bankruptcies. They ran out of facts after that. But even so, those facts which were explained effectively by the candidate, are not why they don't want you to vote for Trump.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The reason why they don't want you to vote for Trump is because he's the guy who's going to walk into "The Temples of Syrinx" and flip the tables on the establishment and the smug elites in the media and both major political parties. Up until now, everyone has accepted divvying up with the boys as acceptable. With Palin 2008 and what she did prior in Alaska, Americans got their first example of how the cronyism and inside game is no longer acceptable. The public was turning until the media put in the stymie.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Now that the media is running out of facts, we're seeing pundits and media outlets basically using their own excrement, throwing it at the wall and hoping it sticks. It's the day before Super Tuesday and they are crapping their drawers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The funniest one was when they totally guessed at what was never seen and claimed Trump's tax returns would show he was involved with the mafia. They dragged out Mitt Romney of all losers to try to destroy Trump. He's the same guy who folded like a lawn chair in the third debate against Obama in 2012. Armed with facts about Benghazi, the wimp never said a word. Now he's ready to take the poop out of the media and establishment's diaper and throw it at Trump.</p>
<p dir="ltr">After what the media did to McCain and Palin in 2008, conservatives ought to be ashamed of themselves if they believe an Axelrodian style campaign to discredit Trump.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you honestly don't like Trump, then don't vote for him. But don't take Megyn Kelly into the voting booth and ask her for her opinion because she's only going to lie to you.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm a free thinker, and I'm a free presser. I may not totally buy into Trump's argument about changing the libel laws, but if we don't stop falling for the media's chicanery, I can easily warm up to where he's coming from. </p>
<p dir="ltr">You may think you're John Galt. But you can easily be Sarah Palin, a woman almost completely destroyed by the same media tactics now being used against Trump. The media lies. Recognize that whether you like Trump or not.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Donald Trump has way more money than Palin did. He has come to finish off the work she started. He may be a monster to some, but he's our monster. Let's let the movement vote and decide whether or not he should be our nominee. Please don't leave that decision up to the media.</p>

Some ideological conservatives are missing the point. It's about winning, not purism. You want your purism? Take the country back first, and understand why we lost it in the first place.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The media killed us in 2008. Trump is beating the media (that's why Palin jumped on board). The pop culture beat us in 2008, Trump and a lot of supporters are from the pop culture. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The GOP Establishment wouldn't get on board with Kemp or Palin. They let Quayle get Palinized (an advisor handed him index card spelling potato with an e and no one fought back from our side). Now the Establishment smells their demise because Trump is so strong, and they may be jumping on (after bashing him like they did Reagan in 1980) like they did in 1984 when they realized that Reagan was their meal ticket. </p>
<p dir="ltr">They forgot that when nominating Dole, McCain and Romney that the grass roots of the party was more Quayle, Kemp and Palin (and don't forget Steve Forbes either). </p>
<p dir="ltr">Trump is not Ronald Reagan because there will never be another Reagan, but Trump has tapped into the same coalition of voters. Lesson to the GOP Establishment, listen to the voters. Give us what we want, not what you want. Political parties exist to win elections, not to force the party's elites' wants down our throats.</p>
<p dir="ltr">God bless Andrew Breitbart and rest his soul. He told us to read Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals and to learn and understand their tactics if we want to understand why we lost and Obama won. He encouraged us to use their tactics against them. What happenned next was the million plus turnout for the Tea Party protest in DC.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Some may not think Trump is ideologically pure. But he is the battering ram we need to take back the Shining City on a Hill. And he knows how to run things, unlike the Democrats and congressional Repulicans. When Trump wins and makes America great again, conservatives that don't like him will get over it. They will find the political landscape friendlier than it ever was for our ideas.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With a defeated media and a Democrat party in disarray, Rich Lowry and his friends will realize that the only thing left for us to take over once we complete our takeover of the pop culture is to take over the academia. That's where his folks over at National Review can get back to the Bill Buckley school of educating America on conservatism. They will come around and realize their hit on Trump was poorly done.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm a conservative. I'm voting for Trump. I know our movement will only grow stronger once we've broken free from the shackels of political correctness and the media's ability to tell us to sit down and shut up.</p>

Obama didn't win on his issue positions. He won because he created a persona that everyone bought into because of the bandwagon effect. Did "redistribute the wealth" destroy his candidacy? No. Did "Mexico sends their worst" destroy Trump's? No. </p>
<p dir=ltr>Democrats won with the pop culture and the media. Obama became a celebrity with his grandiose speeches. Trump is the guy from The Apprentice. While the media carried water for Obama, Trump gets his help from the media, too, only in a different way. He plays a rough game - not afraid to ruffle feathers at Fox and getting face time on CNN. He takes the ball out of the hands of the media and puts them on notice that the response to lies and attacks will be swift and hard from his own mouth and keypad. He doesn't leave it to campaign operatives or surrogates.</p>
<p dir=ltr>I know you're supposed to not get in the mud with the pig. What if the Republican establishment still thinks it's not good to get in the mud? What If the pig already just pulled us In and we don't want to acknowledge It? Donald Trump knows we're already in the mud. There's no time to be politically correct.</p>
<p dir=ltr>I may not always like what he says, but man I love the way he plays the game. This is exactly what we need to do to win. I just wish Trump was on top of the Ticket in 2008. He would've called Katie Couric a washed up lush and that whole Sarah Palin thing would've immediately been brought under control. He's paying for that microphone, Mr. Bream. Who's paying for everyone else's? Ask the Establishment on either side of the aisle.</p>

My schedule has been incredibly tight as I have been walking the tight rope of life trying to survive financially both personally and in my business. The Lord has to get all the credit for me being able to keep the roof over my head and still have a business. And, there is a reason why I've had to live like this.<br />
<br />
I work a full time job (four 10 hour days a week Monday through Thursday) and work with my business partner on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Every time I get to the precipice of personal financial collapse, I find a way to come up with the money either through bonuses, negotiations, loans or creative due date movements. Every time I get to the precipice of business collapse, my business partner and I also find a way to get a customer to pay in the nick of time or we use our own money (which leads back to the personal side issues) to save it. It's been a balancing high wire act for sure.<br />
<br />
The nightmare started when I was laid off in 2011. The four months I was out of work due to the Obama recession nearly cost me my house. But I saved it. Having been back to work since December of 2011, it's been one long two year game of playing catch up.<br />
<br />
When things were at their darkest and I thought I wouldn't be able to make a mortgage payment or when things were at their darkest and I thought the business would have to shut down leaving me with tens of thousands of dollars in debt, I turned to the Lord in prayer and asked Him to take my burden from me; and if it was His will that I should succeed or fail then so be it. I asked Him to give me the strength and I promised Him I'd do the work.<br />
<br />
The Lord provided me in my faith. He allowed me to help my business partner grow in his faith. I don't know exactly how I'm still surviving because it's all been a blur. But, some how some way I've been able to keep it together with spit and glue.<br />
<br />
Today, my business partner and I are working on obtaining business lines of credit. Pray this works. We have the potential to take on a fairly large sized client by the end of the year. We have an investor who is involved in another line of business with us now. Things are starting to look up. But, we are in no way out of the woods yet. Our server blew up yesterday, so now we are going to be set back more time and more money to get that up and running. It's one thing after another. Most people would have quit and gone on welfare by now. But this mouse still believes there's cheese in the maze somewhere.<br />
<br />
It never used to be this way. The capital markets flowed with cash. Businesses expanded regularly. New small businesses popped up everywhere. Many of those grew into large companies. Yes, you always had to pay the price for success. Entrepreneurs have always succeeded and always failed. But today, the success to failure ratio is nowhere what it was in the years past when we were creating record numbers of millionaires in this country. What I just described were the Reagan years (and it spilled over into the Clinton years). We are now in the Obama years. Conservative, free market approaches to how our country was run made us the greatest nation on Earth. Today, liberal, collectivist approaches are destroying us.<br />
<br />
My business partner and I believe we will be successful despite the collapse of our once great nation. If we were willing to endure five years of this stuff (that's how long we've been in business) and we have the perserverence to make it work and never quit, we should reap rewards beyond our wildest dreams. But unlike the way it would have been had this been the Reagan years, it will take twice as much hard work, twice as much suffering and twice as much sacrifice to make it happen. The reason it has to happen: we have no choice. If our business fails, we are destroyed financially.<br />
<br />
Our country is over $17 trillion in debt. If our government was a business, it would be the most incompetent business ever run and the free market would have destroyed it years ago. Both my employer and my own business has to comply with ridiculous Orwellian regulations that are imposed upon them by this gargantuan government gone mad. If my business extorted money from people using the law or if it printed its own money, we'd go to jail. But the government? No, they actually can do all the things that their regulators and the statutes tell us we can't do. I'm not saying we should be allowed to extort and counterfeit. I'm just saying the government shouldn't be allowed to either.<br />
<br />
If we have become the nanny state, then the nanny is a very abusive one. She beats us. She destroys us financially. She keeps the poor pinned down in poverty. She rewards bad behavior and punishes good behavior. She suspends kids from school for using their fingers to play a wholesome game of cops and robbers, but she'll take the gun out of your hand before you shoot the person robbing you. She takes God out of school, but puts sex education (some of it deviant sexual education) in.<br />
<br />
If our government was a private business, it would be forced into bankruptcy. Its executives would go to jail for mismanagement of funds. Its customers would suffer because the product and service they would get would be piss poor. Websites wouldn't work and the price of the product would sky rocket. If our government was a private business, it would be run out of business. If USA, Inc. was ever audited by its own regulators, it would be shut down. If USA, Inc. was ever indicted for fraud and misuse of money, its executives would go to jail.<br />
<br />
If I ran my business like the government runs its, I'd be in jail and be completely destroyed financially. Try to find a private business that's $17 trillion in debt and see if it can just raise its debt ceiling or get a triple AAA credit rating. Logic and common sense no longer applies!<br />
<br />
The whole flipping thing is upside down. What's right is wrong and what's wrong is right. Life in America is like one big acid trip. Only the hallucinations are real.<br />
<br />
So what's the reason I work like a dog? I'm broke. If I am ever to survive this nightmare we call America, I'm going to need lots of money. Becoming wealthy isn't about the mansions, the yachts and the strings of polo ponies. It's about survival! It's about being able to take care of your family and inner circle while the ship we call America goes down. It's about doing God's will and having the means to help others. I'm not interested in luxury. I'm interested in financial self defense. Wealth is to the individual what national defense is to the nation. <br />
<br />
The arduous sacrifices and the prices that had to be paid by those who have become successful were voluntary. Read Napoleon Hill, Andrew Carnegie, Robert Ringer or any other book written by a successful person and you will find the keys to success. The reason why it doesn't work for everyone is that most people won't do the things necessary to become successful. And, that used to be okay. Success is hard. It's unconventional. It goes against the grain of everything we were taught. It wasn't for everyone.<br />
<br />
We had a country where if you worked hard, you earned enough to raise a family and enjoy a comfortable middle class life. Surely, the extravagances weren't necessary and the problems like car repairs and home appliance repairs were setbacks, but for the most part, you could have a family and enjoy weekends. Those that wanted more were blessed to live in a country that gave them the environment to work harder and make the sacrifices for the bigger and better things. Those who wanted to make the extra sacrifices lived in a country where they were free to do so.<br />
<br />
Today it seems most households are in distress. The family is being torn apart. People are working twice as hard just to stay afloat. Weekends off? What's that? Family time? What's that?<br />
<br />
We have come to the days Ronald Reagan told us about. We are in the days where we are <a href="http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/33739.html" target="_blank">telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free</a>. We are in the days where we are telling our children and our children's children what it was like to <i>earn</i> what you have.<br />
<br />
We no longer have that choice of being middle class or working harder to move up. The middle class is the toy boat about to get sucked down the whirlpool in the drain. The sacrifices, the price that once was only required for the successful are now required of us all. The weight that has to be lifted now is much heavier than the one our last generation had to lift. Unfortunately folks, the sacrifices are no longer voluntary. We all have no choice now but to do it<br />
<br />
Welfare and food stamps is not the answer. Obamacare is not the answer. All of that is going to implode. If you're not ready financially when that happens, your screwed. Just as I am a prisoner to my business (it's either get it profitable or else die financially), we as Americans are prisoners to this great experiment gone bad. If we don't get it back in line with the tenets of our founders, your grandchildren will be telling their grandchildren about how America fell.<br />
<br />
It may cost tens of thousands for me to get out of my business. But it will cost America tens of trillions to get out of whatever this is now. Call it socialism, call it secularism, call it progressivism. But most of all, call it garbage.<br />
<br />
If we don't have a revival from the grass roots on up, we're doomed. This isn't about religious zealotry or traditional evangelization. This is about life and death. It has to start in the house, then on the block, then in the neighborhood, then in the town, then in the county, then in the churches and the boardrooms. It has to start from the bottom and grow its way up. Right now, we are being run by a top down model that is a complete failure. It is controlled by government and it is controlled by elites in both political parties. It's time to put an end to that.<br />
<br />
If the bubble gum machine is filled with black licorice bubble gum (you know, the kind everyone hates), you can't fix it by smashing it. And, you certainly can't fix it by adding more black bubble gum to it. The way you fix it is to put a penny in, take out a piece, open the top and add a red one in its place. The pennies are the price. The pennies are our hard work at self improvement and re-prioritization. It took the progressive movement nearly 100 years to get us to where we are. Replacing the bubble gum in the machine is going to take time and effort - one red one in and one black one out at a time. But it must be done. There is no choice.<br />
<br />
When everyone asks generations from now where America has been since we last heard from her, let's hope the country can explain its absence the way I've explained my absence from blogging.<br />
<br />
Pray for strength and do the work. God bless you all.<br />

We have seen the Establishment versus the grass roots battles in GOP politics come and go since long before the coming of Ronald Reagan. Yet, today it seems to be more pronounced than ever. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Hughes discusses the thoughts of Chuck Heath, brother to 2008 Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin about a third party, the American Party. This comes at a time when many grass roots conservatives and Tea Party supporters are trying to decide whether to stay in or leave the Republican Party following the devastating loss to Barack Obama in 2012.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As a lifelong Republican, this conservative has always found it to be the best vehicle by which to form coalitions that are not too extreme and which can provide a powerful infrastructure to candidates who wish to support the betterment of America. As time has gone on, this observation has moved from concern over the extreme to where we are today: concern over moderation for the sake of capitulation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Let's face it. We got our butts handed to us in the last two elections. Despite all the carping from the party's elite about extremism and their consistent attempts to dress a conservative party in moderate clothing, we lost with their kind of candidate twice to Obama. The Establishment plays it safe when selecting candidates because of their grossly mistaken belief that the party can attract more centrist, non-ideological voters while not turning them off to those who could cast misperceptions about the party's compassion for the poor, women and minorities.</p>
<p dir="ltr">John McCain and Mitt Romney are far from being right wing extremists whether in reality or in perception. When the party elite cringe at the idea of Sarah Palin on the ticket or distance themselves from the words of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, they either unknowingly or unintentionally distance themselves from the core values upon which our country was built. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Most non-junkies of politics believe that the Palins and the Limbaughs of our side are extremists because that's what they're told by the media. They are not, of course, when you actually listen to them instead of judging them based on third hand comments. </p>
<p dir="ltr">In the days following the ratification of the United States Constitution, they would have been seen as patriots and political experts whose opinions and interpretations of the Constitution would be seen as similar to those of the founders. It is progressives who are the true extremists as they deflect by painting our leaders and opinion makers as extremists in order to retain their own power. They project upon us their own inner truths lest they be found out and revealed for what they really are.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A president who circumvents the Constitution regularly by executive fiat and who surrounds himselves with radicals who think the Constitution is an antiquated document that no longer needs to be followed to the letter can win elections today but someone like Sarah Palin can't?</p>
<p dir="ltr">"We are in different times" they say. Or they will sugarcoat it by saying that the Constitution is a living breathing document. The United States has elected the most radical, extremist president in its history (twice no-less) and its propagandists in the media, pop culture and academia have successfully gotten enough of the citizenry to believe what Obama is doing is "normal." The reality is they're so far to the left that it gives the illusion that conservatives are on the extreme side.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The center of the political spectrum could be somewhere between communism and liberalism for them. Therefore, anyone further right of a centrist now falls on the extreme edge. Constitutionalism and all of the political philosophy espoused by our country's founders are seen as being on the edge of that spectrum. Liberty, individualism, entrepreneurship and self reliance are extreme ideas in today's America.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We are the last ones standing against a tide that continues to turn harder and harder against us.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But, there are still enough of us left to fix this if we understand where we're at. We're no longer in the canoe racing them down the river. Our canoe has tipped and we are riding backside down and feet foward through the political rapids. The day that we can sit in a vessel again that has not capsized may be gone unless we understand how to get it back.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The first step is to admit we have a problem. Staying in the Republican Party is going to require that the party leadership recognizes that moderation for PR reasons is a failed model. Most moderates and party elites are where they are today because they rode the winning wave of Ronald Reagan. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Prior to Reagan's election in 1980, the party elite was afraid that we were electing a B actor and a right wing extremist to the presidency at a time when the Soviet Union and America were at hair trigger on the nuclear button. But, by 1988, these same folks were raking in the dough while basking in the light of a party which now had a winning brand. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Fattened by the glory of power and drunk from the Potomoc water, these establishment types took to securing their positions, choosing going along to get along over continuing the fight that Ronald Reagan told us had to be passed on from generation to generation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Instead of looking ahead and realizing that our future generations would need to be taught our principles, they secured and defended their cushy positions while assuming the people would never be that stupid so as to fall for liberalism without fighting liberalism openly.</p>
<p dir="ltr">How wrong they are. The proof is here. The progressives have achieved both of their objectives. In term one, they transformed America into a European style socialist democracy. Now in term two, they are completing the peaceful transition to a new brand of collectivism. Call it what you will; it's really just communism achieved without physically slaughtering your own people. This time around they slaughtered us financially and politically without firing a Stalin shot.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With their indoctrination of students in the public education system as well as at college and university levels, their messages of "tolerance" of deviancy pushed through music, art and movies, and their successful efforts at mind control by using the mainstream media as its propaganda arm, the progressives have achieved nearly all their goals.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Yet, the Republican Establishment continues to think we can just win this thing at the ballot box or in the halls of Congress while ignoring the culture and the socio-economic factors that have to be in play at the individual, family and community levels.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Establishment has talked a good game about God, family and country, but they've done nothing to help conservatives and the grass roots nurture and grow those ideals. Everytime you have a Sarah Palin, a Herman Cain or a Mark Levin speak out, the party leadership bails on us. Someone needs to remind these paranoid meglamaniacs who steer the GOP that being afraid of running an "extremist" like Sarah Palin for president is the equivalent of the Democrat Party being afraid to run an extremist like Barack Obama.</p>
<p dir="ltr">They need to learn how the Democrats and the progressives did it. If a football team keeps losing to its rival, it needs to study the films and find out why what their opponents are doing is working and figure out why what they're doing is not. It's not about ideology. Most Americans don't believe in abortion, gay marriage, reckless spending or uninhibited immigration. They just think it's cool to have a hip president who likes the same music and they do.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Many Democrats, particularly African Americans, are church going people. We may need to look more into how they are able to reconcile their personal conservativism with their political liberalism later; but for now it's more important that we and the Republican elite realize that winning elections is not just about what we do the few months before an election. It's about what we do in our industries, in our homes, in our communities and in our culture. Infiltration must come before liberation if we are ever going to get our country back.</p>
<p dir="ltr">What is so bad that could possibly happen by running Sarah Palin? McCain lost. Romney lost. The GOP Establishment was afraid to have Sarah Palin speak at the convention. We still lost anyway. What if she had run for president and lost? Nothing would be different than it is now. But what if she won? </p>
<p dir="ltr">Which brings us to the question of "should I stay or should I go now?" For now, the strategy needs to be a continuous effort to not only take back the culture, but to take back the Republican Party. Yet, we must heed the words of Chuck Heath and others and not be closed minded about the third party option. </p>
<p dir="ltr">There may come a time when the GOP is unwinnable for conservatives. If that time comes, we will all have to stay tight and work hard. We're going to have to stay tight and work hard either way.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And, if Chuck Heath's sister decides one day that the GOP is no longer the way to go and she wants to go third party, I will follow. I'm a free thinker who makes up his own political mind. I know where I stand on the issues. However, Sarah Palin is a true leader. She has more smarts (and more importantly, more common sense) than most of the intellectual elites in both parties despite their efforts to portray her as an idiot.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Whatever direction we need to go in as a movement, I'm there. Sarah Palin need only to say the word.</p>

<div class="MsoNormal">
There are a lot of folks who are criticizing the Republican
Party and Mitt Romney for their establishment ways and failed campaign. These
people are pushing for a wave of activism in the conservative grass roots and
advocating for the takeover of the Republican Party. I agree with the forward
thinking part of this. I do, however, believe that the strategy should be a
more positive one. Our focus now needs to be on understanding what happened
objectively and moving forward vigorously to make the party more responsive to
the people who make up its rank and file.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Those who are critical of John Boehner and the Republicans
floating ideas on moderating their positions on things like immigration and
abortion are right to think this is the wrong strategy. Even Mark Levin this
week was very critical of John Boehner. We all know how much this writer
respects and admires Levin. So, I’m not going to say he’s wrong. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What we do need to recognize, though, is that reality is
much different than theory. Criticism is not as good as solutions. Pushing out
the establishment’s leadership is not going to be done by simply criticizing
them. It has to be done from the bottom up. Boehner isn’t going to be leaving
the speakership any time soon. Nothing will reverse the Romney loss. However,
starting today, we can recruit and nominate Tea Party candidates and our future
leaders going forward. Eventually, the good water will displace the bad.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First, start from a position of realism. Those who voted for
Obama are thrill seekers. They voted for food stamps, free phones, entitlements
and that good old fashioned warm and fuzzy feeling you get when you win. They
didn’t vote their long term best interests. They ignored the reality that this
country will eventually become like Greece as we continue pursuing the same
leftist policies that history has already shown us to be recipes for failure. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
America is on a binge, buzzing from all the free stuff their
getting. But, they’re ignoring tomorrow’s hangover. When the hangover comes,
they will regret the binge and eventually listen to us. That may take decades.
We can’t wait that long. We need to figure out how to win now. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We live in a new reality. Logic and common sense no longer
apply in today’s America. Say something that’s not politically correct and
you’re cast out. Live a normal life and run a business, you are taxed and
punished for success while being whipped into submission by government
regulations. Pray openly, maintain a
heterosexual marriage, discipline your children or grab a burger at a local
joint while super sizing the soda and you are a racist, an extremist or a right
wing fanatic. Support gay marriage, abortion on demand, class envy and a
secularism that prohibits open displays of faith and patriotism and you are now
the new normal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you are experiencing financial difficulties, call your
mortgage company. See how well these volumes of regulations work. Find out
firsthand how difficult it is to speak to a decision maker or to get a straight
answer from severely scripted call center reps. Go set up your own business and
find out how impossible it is to make a profit after you spend all your capital
on compliance and taxation. Welcome to Obama’s America.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While you wait on line at the store staring at your watch
because you’re late for a meeting or your lunch hour is about to run out, the
takers are standing around kibitzing and wasting time doing nothing ahead of
you. Drive on the roads between the h ours of 9 am and 5 pm. All those other
cars on the road are not sales people heading to their appointments. They’re
unemployed. They’re on disability. They’re under employed and work part time
hours. This is Obama’s America.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are more of them than there are of us. The takers are
growing in numbers while the makers are shrinking in numbers. Getting America
productive again is not going to happen if you take the food stamps and the
cell phones away. It’s only going to get productive again when we offer people
a better choice. It’s time to shut the door on the freebies and encourage those
who are already on the freebies to get off of them by giving them a better
deal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is where the takeover of the Republican Party begins. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mitt Romney is a good man. There are a lot of things he
could have done differently in his campaign. He may have won had he pushed the
Benghazi issue more (or even more so, he could have won if his opposition
research team unearthed the numerous scandal s and hit the Obama campaign
hard). He may have won had he been better at selling us on how drilling will
put thousands of dollars into each of our pockets in the form of more jobs,
higher wages and more capital flowing through our economy. But, Romney went on the same assumptions that
most of us have been operating under for all previous elections: that given the
right information, the people will make the right decision every time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not this time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Give them enough stuff and they’ll ignore the right
information. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The American electorate is full of slobs. They’re pigs
gorging themselves at the trough of government hand outs. The only way to get
to these slovenly creatures back into production is to package up a job that
pays more than what they’re getting from the government and sell it to them.
I’m not saying lie to the American people. But, look at what Obama did. He sold
the people a grand illusion. We can do that.+</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sean Hannity said on Friday’s Hannity show “we must adopt
the tactics of the left without the lies.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They elected a candidate from the more “extreme” part of
their base. We can do that.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The idea we have to moderate and move to the center is utter
nonsense. It’s the same losing formula that cost us every election we didn’t
win since Reagan. If the Democrats can nominate a radical left wing progressive
socialist and win, it shows us that moderation doesn’t work. Instead of
complaining about what the Democrats do, why not learn from them?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I know we reject the idea of style over substance. I know
we’re supposed to be the adults in the room who treat politics with reverence
and respect. But times have changed and we need to change, too. We need to
recognize that in order to win, we must accept the notion of an American idol
presidency and that the American people are not going to listen to Paul Ryan
speeches no matter how chock full of facts and correct details they are. The
slobs, the pigs, the American people wanted Mitt Romney to light his hair on
fire and he didn’t. They wanted another Sarah Palin on the ticket. Mitt Romney
got 2 million less votes than John McCain. Why? There was no drama.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Barack Obama got 8 million less votes than he got four years
ago. Why? Those people had buyer’s remorse, but they were still bored. There
was nothing for them to vote for. </div>

If the Republican Party was a musical act, we’d be Englebert
Humperdink. We need to be the Sex Pistols. Yes, we need to light ourselves on
fire. We need to be outrageous. We need to be Breitbarts. We need to have each
other’s backs so that when we speak out in what liberals will define as
insensitive ways that we can stand up to them. Yes, there are tons of blacks on
food stamps and in poverty. Yes, there are tons of unmarried women who mooch
off the government. To quote Sam Kinison:

I’m not saying we should be racists, homophobes or sexists.
We’re not. They packaged up crap in the right bag and it sold. Why are we
having such a hard time packaging up the good stuff in the right bag? We can be
just as outrageous as Michael Moore, Al Gore, Van Jones and the like. Let’s
piss them off. Let’s tell them how blue the sky is (even if they have
successfully lied enough to get everyone to think its green) and watch their
heads spin. Don’t duck and run. Even if it’s uncomfortable, say it! We may be
outnumbered. But we don’t change who we are fundamentally. The inner core stays
the same. It’s how we express that inner core that needs to change.</div>

We need to write song lyrics that are vicious to the left as
those written by Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley and Jimi Hendrix were to the
right. We need to paint our faces and sing. We need to infiltrate. We need
circus animals and girls on trapezes. We need right wing rap and heavy metal
libertarianism. We need jugglers and clowns. I know its foreign to us, but we
must learn. How do you think they beat us?</div>

game. There’s a difference. They say never wrestle with a pig because in the

We need to win this thing back precinct by precinct. We need
to grow the Tea Party not just into a political organization but into a

academics out of the conservative grass roots, we will win again. When we
expand the new media and compete head to head with the mainstream media, we
will win again. When we attract African Americans and Hispanics with a winning
message that appeals to their base instincts, we will win again.</div>

When we recognize and accept that America is no longer
America and that what we had under Ronald Reagan is gone, we will win again.

that we didn’t listen to Hispanics. There are a lot of them that are here

friends and family who are here illegally. It bothers them to think the GOP is
against their friends and family. We can find a way to change the bureaucracy
so that the responsible ones can get legal status. From there they can follow
the same legal path to citizenship as every other immigrant does. I’m not
talking about outright amnesty. Seal the borders. Make it final. No more

illegal aliens and give them a system that allows them to register, document
residency and employment status. Let them show us they have children in school

We must appeal to their sense of logic and common sense. We
must explain that it is not normal for 93% of any demographic group to vote the
same way. Tell a brother to think for himself and not let the culture of
dependency, poverty and broken families stop him from making a buck or being
successful. Blacks are religious and family oriented. They see these things and
opportunity the same way everyone else does. They just vote differently because
of group think. It’s called political socialization. They’ve all been taught to
vote Democrat. </div>

The key is to get them to start thinking more deeply. Get
them to ask themselves why so many of their friends and family are still on
government assistance or incarcerated. Then get them to ask themselves what
exactly has the Democrat Party done to change this? Why is it that more African
American got good jobs under the Reagan administration than under any previous
administration to that point?
Conservative African Americans can become role models, philosophical catalysts and entertainers in a
positive way. Ultimately, appeal to their desire to make money. They’re no
different than any other demographic group in what they want from the American
experience.</div>

<i> Our dried voices, when</i><br />
<i> We whisper together</i><br />

<i> As wind in dry grass</i><br />
<i> Or rats' feet over broken glass</i><br />

<i> </i><br />

<i> </i><br />
<i> Those who have crossed</i><br />
<i> With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom</i><br />
<i> Remember us-if at all-not as lost</i><br />
<i> Violent souls, but only</i><br />
<i> As the hollow men</i><br />
<i> The stuffed men.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i> </i> -<a href="http://allpoetry.com/poem/8453753-The_Hollow_Men-by-T_S__Eliot" target="_blank">TS Eliot</a><br />
<br />
<br />
It's a strange environment. Coming to the realization that all the things that are wrong with our country are now the norm puts one into a state of alienation unlike ever before. The notion that we are a free people is destroyed by our inability to choose our own healthcare and insurance in a free market that offers choices. It's destroyed by anvils of regulations that sit on American businesses and energy producers. Even the banking system has changed beyond recognition with capital being choked off by the burdensome rules placed on it by our ever growing government.<br />
<br />
Where am I? I don't even recognize the place anymore.<br />
<br />
I saw America under Ronald Reagan. It was the beautiful shining city on a hill that we all hear about. My philosophy is based in the endless optimism and the gleaming infrastructure of a country that was moving from the post war era into an era of unprecedented prosperity. Applying that philosophy to what we have today ended last night with the re-election of President Obama.<br />
<br />
We've gone from shining city to trailer park. We've gone from the land of abundance to the hood. We look more like Detroit than we do Manhattan. I don't even recognize the country anymore.<br />
<br />
The decaying future ahead will require adjustments on my part. Having been accustomed to driving on a smoothly paved three lane highway, I will need to learn to drive on narrow cobblestone roads. Adjusting my approach to life doesn't mean adjusting my values or core convictions; it just means adjusting how I actually navigate outside of my own mind and soul when interacting with the rest of a nation as we begin our journey into the thousand years of darkness that Ronald Reagan warned us about.<br />
<br />
This means recognizing incompetence, selfishness and the common denominator mentality as the new norm. The idea of self reliance, free enterprise and family values have gone the way of the horse and buggy. We live in the new world that accepts mediocrity. The sheep are sheep no more. They are now pigs.<br />
<br />
It's normal to see everyone using EBT cards at supermarkets as they hold up the line while they try to keep their children - many of whom were born out of wedlock - under control or because they are kibbitzing with the checkout clerk (oblivious to the growing line behind them - "I'm here to get what's mine, what I'm entitled to.").<br />
<br />
It's normal to see people closing up businesses and feeling no shame in their failure. The government that takes care of all of our needs also takes care of all of our excuses. It's okay, you can go on food stamps, too.<br />
<br />
Less people work today than four years ago. Population growth doesn't mean more people working. It just means more people on the dole. Obama's giving us free phones! Obama's paying for our education! Obama is feeding us, clothing us, wiping our asses for us. We don't have to worry anymore. This is hope and change! There is no decency anymore.<br />
<br />
James Lewis at <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/11/the_death_of_ordinary_decency.html" target="_blank">American Thinker</a> sums it up best:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
No -- the balance of decency in America has changed. Every society has normal, decent people and the other kind. The America we grew up in was fundamentally decent. Decency was the expected standard.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Now the balance has changed.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The evidence for our sleazified culture can be seen all around. It is in our pop music, which has lost melody and now just has rhythm. We have a President who won on revenge against middle class values. That's what he meant by telling his people to vote for revenge. And they did -- showing us exactly who they are.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
We are now a society divided between the makers and the takers, and the takers are on a campaign of theft and revenge.</blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Oh, it's not that the above isn't true. But no candidate is tactically perfect; Obama certainly made his share of mistakes. There also will inevitably be unforeseen events during any campaign, and they don't matter when enough people can distinguish good from evil. And the left does steal hearts and minds through the media and votes through electoral sleight-of-hand, but this merely reflects our cultural decay. And it's only getting worse.</span></blockquote>

America has changed. Not only have the demographics changed, but over the course of the last several decades, the progressive movement has gained their foothold. Taking the country required generations of <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/11/why_we_lost_the_republic.html" target="_blank">indoctrination</a> (read the article). You'd have to think that even Ronald Reagan couldn't win in today's America. If we can't elect a "normal" candidate over a radical socialist, it says something about our country.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
This is not pessimism. This is reality.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
As optimists, we believed that four years of Tea Party politics, Breitbart journalism and the proliferation of conservative new media could trump over 50 years of progressive infiltration into our media, our academia and our pop culture. We are still right to use their playbook in taking it back. We were just wrong about the time frame. It will take decades, probably centuries to undo what has been done to this country - and this is assuming we don't collapse, Balkanize or go the way of Ancient Rome before then.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
Conservatism is not dead. It's just going to require a different approach to getting it back into the governing philosophy of our nation. We must move ethnic groups to stop the group thinking and begin to question philosophy individually. There is no way you can convince me that 93% of black people all think alike. The same goes for the Hispanic and Jewish vote. We need to encourage them to stop falling into the trap of group think and start getting people to think for themselves so they can treat themselves not as a member of a racial group but as a member of a diverse country instead.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
But the task gets even more laborious. Can we ever reverse the decline in decency? What is it going to take to clean up our cultural sewer?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
The proliferation of conservatism is not about having more white people in the electorate. It's a much more daunting task. Four years ago it was about teaching sheep to be sheep no more. Today and into the future, it will require teaching pigs how to not be pigs. Taking away an Obama phone and food stamps from a spoiled voter will not endear them to you. It will only be when they run out of money because the economy has collapsed that they will join those of us who have already been financially devastated by the destruction of the capitalist system. Only then, will we be able to get them to understand what we are saying.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
Therein lies the rub. By not taking our medicine and suffering the pain that was masked by the methadone of bailouts and stimulus four years ago, we will all die a political, economic and cultural death at the hands of the cirrhosis of our financial liver that could have been avoided had we gone cold turkey in 2009 and 2010 and rode out the sweats and the shaking.<br />
<br />
But we are not like the greatest generation. They sacrificed their lives for us in Europe and Asia in order to save our country. Today's Americans couldn't even sacrifice a few big screen TVs or phones with gadgets on them to bite the financial bullet for the few short years necessary to reset our economy. Instead they wanted more. They pulled up to the trough of government and gouged themselves when we needed restraint the most. All of us, Republicans sooner and Democrats later, will pay for the inability of the American people to look past the novelty and culturally exciting prospect of having Obama as president. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
The American people showed us yesterday by their votes that collectively we are slobs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
Just as T.S. Eliot's "The Hollow Men" ends with a whimper instead of a bang and just as "The Waste Land" ends with a man sitting on the shore coming to peace with the emptiness around him, we now must come to terms with our own lives and the future of our country. It's not like wealth and abundance is on the map anymore. Even normalcy may now be a pipe dream. From here forward, we navigate the new normal. Like domesticated animals thrown into the wild, we will have a hard time at first. Co-existing in the jungle of a liberal America with its overwhelmingly massive government and maze of bureaucracies will not be easy. But survival often isn't.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
Life is not about comfort. It's about holding on. It's about survival. </div>

<b><br /></b>
It's crunch time. They have been doing polls for almost two years now. None of the polls is giving us a clear winner. The answer we are looking for will be provided to us after Tuesday's election. That's the real poll. It will only be then that we will find out whether there are enough of us left to save our country. The time for prayer is now.<br />
<br />
Those who will be voting for Obama will be choosing the destruction of America as we know it. The radical progressive agenda to fundamentally transform America requires that they get enough people to (whether knowingly or unknowingly, intentionally or unintentionally) vote for a candidate who is on record through either word or deed as having supported Marxist views, wealth redistribution, the destruction of coal and other traditional energy production, the unprecedented growth of government, the unprecedented growth of debt and the stifling of the free market system. If there are enough people to out-vote us, it's over. Country gone.<br />
<br />
It's time to put all of us in one corner and all of them in the other. If there are more of us than them, we win. God will have blessed us with His divine providence and we will narrowly escape another moment in our history that could have been the end of the Republic as we know it. If there are more of them than us, we lose. The question is answered and we move forward preparing ourselves for the new normal - a new normal that we can use the last four years as the benchmark or starting point for understanding how the way things will be.<br />
<br />
Divine providence will no longer be with us. It cannot co-exist with the stifling of liberty. It cannot co-exist with the moral decay that accompanies a government that believes it can ram its pro abortion, anti-marriage (man and woman) secular agenda down the throats of those who believe in God's Word and traditional lifestyles. This is not about us being intolerant. Those who have different lifestyles than we do will always have the same right to be free under our Constitution. It's the codification of those lifestyles at the expense and to the detriment of ours that will bring about the end of the greatness that once made our country strong.<br />
<br />
We are on the brink of becoming a society of animals who loot the treasury as easily as the thugs in Staten Island loot homes. Just look at the growing numbers of people on food stamps, the Obama phones and the increased pressure to take wealth from those who earned it and give it to those who would just as easily key our cars for having Romney stickers on them or who would cut us in line at the store because they think they're entitled to it.<br />
<br />
You all see it. You drive on the roads. You have business dealings or consumer transactions with mindless people behind desks, cash registers and the other end of telephone lines. You see how people act in public. You see how they act in stores and supermarkets. It's so ghetto. It's so white trash. It's so demeaning to people of all races to see the way people act today. It's downright disgusting.<br />
<br />
And not that every Obama voter acts that way. But I guarantee you, if you ask any of those who I describe as being an "animal" who they're voting for, they will tell you Obama. This is because Obama and his agenda (both overt and covert) relies on the dumbing down of America. It relies on people being reliant and being unruly so that the need for government grows. It relies on creating a society where the government stands for the lowest common denominator rather than for a citizenry that can make its own choices and live with the consequences of those choices while setting standards high so they can achieve great things.<br />
<br />
Democrats won't pass school vouchers. Why? Because it eliminates their excuses for failure. It eliminates the ability to blame the Republican Party or conservatives. It eliminates their ability to call white people racists because their kids attend better schools. It's time for those who are part of districts that have failing schools to look themselves in the mirror and stop pointing their fingers at others.<br />
<br />
Let's hope the grown-ups win and we can clean up our broken political system. When the economy provides jobs instead of hand outs, people take ownership of their lives. The number of "animals" decreases as the number of employed increases. The number of "animals" decreases as the need for handouts decreases. Let's clean the cage and close the zoo. If Mitt Romney wins, America will be back in business again.<br />
<br />
This is it, folks. The time has come. Pray. Pray real hard. Then go vote.Patrick S.

<br />
Whether you believe President Obama or Governor Romney won last night's debate, the ultimate outcome is that the blatant exposure of the biased liberal media is encapsulated in how Candy Crowley moderated the contest.<br />
<br />
Shortly after Obama's inauguration, this blogger laid out an approach that involved focusing on the media lies combined with a bite size effort to take back Obama voters, particularly independents. For the last three and a half years, the internet has exploded with conservative websites and blogs. The media continued to lie and run cover for Obama as if this takeover of the new media would have no effect. John McCain lost by 8.5 million votes. The task before us in 2009 was not to convince "the 47%," but rather find those 8.5 million soft voters and flip them. Frank Luntz's focus group tonight on Hannity leads this writer to believe we've done that. Candy Crowley's performance last night on the debate leads this writer to believe that we have also finally (with less than 3 weeks to go) pierced the media veil.<br />
<br />
When Crowley cut Romney off while he was attacking Obama on Fast and Furious, it was as if the ref in the Ali-Frazier fight had grabbed Frazier's arm right before he was about to hit Ali. It changed the outcome of the debate. Then when she interjected after Romney challenged Obama on what he said in the Rose Garden on 9/11/2012 about the Benghazi attack, it not only proved the point about media bias, it also placed Benghazi-gate front and center for a mainstream media that has so desperately tried to avoid talking about it.<br />
<br />
There is no denying that the efforts of Andrew Breitbart, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh put the team in position to win this election. It was Crowley's fumble that gave us the ball at the most opportune time.<br />
<br />
Libs will be libs and cons will be cons. But ultimately, the portion of the American people who don't pay much attention to the cyber war (that conservatives are winning by the way) and who don't watch the 3 cable networks are getting their doses of truth directly from the candidates in the debates and from a media that struggles to avoid Obama's abysmal record, yet which can no longer avoid reporting on those stories.<br />
<br />
The trend is similar to what happened in 1980 when Ronald Reagan overcame a large lead by Jimmy Carter. Liberals portrayed Reagan as a monster just as they have portrayed Romney as one today. However, when the American people got to see the real Reagan and the real Romney, they were able to get their heads around the reaction needed to give them the permission necessary to save face on their misguided vote in 2008. Simply put, Romney turned out to not be the monster the media created him to be. In doing so, the media that once controlled public opinion in 2008 has now lost all credibility.<br />
<br />
For those who voted for Obama in 2008 and are now are switching to Romney, it's not a blow to the ego to make that change. Those who voted for Obama can now honestly justify their flip with two simple reasons: Obama's record blows and the media lied.<br />
<br />
If I had voted for Obama, I'd be angry. I'd be telling my friends that the reason why I'm flipping to Romney is because Obama failed to bring our economy to where he promised it would be and because I now realize that I was duped by the mainstream media. It's hard to say you were wrong, unless someone screwed you into making that bad decision by lying to you - whether it was the candidate himself or the mindless lemmings who called themselves journalists.

Adamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02628677500109624860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670132098630116344.post-55157389691013506582012-09-07T20:27:00.000-04:002012-09-07T20:27:59.064-04:00Trickle Down PovertyAs more and more people leave the workforce due to the economy, many are missing out on an important fact. While President Obama and the Democrats are crying out for higher taxes on the rich, the rich are getting poorer too. Most people won't cry for the millionaires of this world, but they are taking a hit. What we should be crying over is the fact that as high income earners see their net worth going down they stop spending money. They stop hiring people. When they lose money, we all lose money in the form of lower sales, less jobs and less capital in the financial pipeline.<br />
<br />
A friend who works as a handy man since he lost his job was in an upscale area here in Richmond, Virginia to fix a dishwasher. He went to a nice house where a lovely family lived. They had four children, two cars and a well kept house. The man paid my friend $300.00 in change. "Times are getting tough, aren't they?" my friend asked. He said the man had a melancholy look on his face and shook his head in agreement. "They sure are."<br />
<br />
I spoke to a customer of mine a couple of months ago who was no longer able to pay his mortgage. He was once a six figure income earner who lost his car dealership when Obama "saved the auto industry." Now, he's renting and living a lifestyle he has never known.<br />
<br />
Everywhere I go, I hear stories of people who can't get people to buy their services. The answer is always money trouble. In the food chain of economics, the big fish are still bigger than the rest of them, but even they are getting smaller. As they get smaller, the rest of the fish down the food chain get smaller. When there's no money in the pipeline, it's harder to get capital. Without capital and without the ability to earn, Americans may find themselves all broke if we continue to go this way.<br />
<br />
Those who may think the government is there to help will find that after they become dependent on the programs, even they eventually will run out of money. If Obama is reelected, you'll find us conservatives miserable for the next four years while the liberals continue to revel in their hope and change collecting their food stamps and disability checks. But after all that happens, those who love big government will join us in poverty long after Obama is gone. It's only a matter of time if we keep going on like this.<br />
<br />
Ronald Reagan was the master of trickle down economics. A rising tide lifts all boats. Obama is the master of trickle down poverty. A draining swamp will leave even the biggest of yachts bottomed out.Patrick S. Adamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02628677500109624860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670132098630116344.post-59506885965275493422012-09-05T23:54:00.000-04:002012-09-05T23:59:04.178-04:00Tell a Little Truth With Many LiesBill Clinton's speech worked. It mixed sugar and crap and it gave the Democrats an actual articulation of what their philosophy should be. But was it the philosophy that it is?<br />
<br />
Clinton's segment on how Democrats want to cooperate with Republicans was the weakest part. It was Obama who rammed Obamacare down our throats without soliciting or working for any Republican votes. It was Obama who said "I won, you lost" to Eric Cantor and John McCain.<br />
<br />
The ratcheting up of our national debt to pay off cronies in the green energy area while continuously denying oil and coal producers the ability to produce and create jobs is a far cry from cooperation.<br />
<br />
Now, pepper that with some remarks about how Reagan did it and how Clinton worked with the GOP to get his initiatives past and there is some level of truth to what he said in some areas of the speech. But it's not so much that the speech hammered home time tested truths; it's that the speech was effective in hammering home a product that everyone wants to hear.<br />
<br />
Government working with the private sector. All of us in it together. It sounds great. It actually works when you don't have regulators choking off industries and cronies in the legal profession going after companies with frivolous lawsuits. If the government was truly on our side, Obama wouldn't be misrepresenting centralized planning and a top down solution as bottom up or middle out. The big lie is what the progressive movement has been using to win and it's failing.<br />
<br />
Bill Clinton is the only one that actually made the big lie sound good. He used facts and figures. He used them well sometimes. He is the greatest three card monty dealer in the history of politics. He let the American people win this time around. People were "leaving the tables with twenties." It was a great speech. More importantly, it was an effective speech.<br />
<br />
The Republicans took a hit. Now, the question is: is it a short term hit and can we come back from it? The answer is yes, but it depends on whether or not it's a good idea to not go to the liberal and Alinsky playbooks and throw the socialism bomb. Obama's associations are his weakest links and they can be our greatest assets.<br />
<br />
Also, we were starting to beat the media. Bill Clinton gave the media fodder and they will run with it. Romney will have to debate like Socrates if he wants to win the debates. But, win the debates he must.<br />
<br />
For tonight, we took one straight through the heart. Tomorrow, we will recover and we will take on the forces of liberalism. Our Republic still depends on the American people waking up and realizing that those unpaid bills, those smaller pay checks and their inability to find higher paying jobs is not the product of the Bush Administration. It is the product of a government that is swelling to the size of a badly infected appendix. If we don't do something soon, it's going to burst no matter how well Bill Clinton mixed the sugar and crap and put it into a nicely done paper bag.<br />

It was frustrating to see the President's and those in the control room's reactions after the attack had to be stopped. It wasn't until they studied the aliens's tactics (and the President actually mind melded with an alien) that they realized what their true intentions were. It was to kill. Realizing they could use one of the alien's own vehicles to fly into the mother ship and plant a virus in the program that controlled their shields, the President authorized the mission and it was a success.<br />
<br />
You'll remember Will Smith and Judd Goldblum smoking cigars after narrowly escaping from the mother ship. The aliens started out by using our satellites to communicate and by luring our citizens onto the rooftops of buildings to view the tranquil ships which hovered above them. There was a sense that these aliens might be benevolent and that they had come to help the people of Earth. The crowds flocked and the people celebrated at the mere thought that there were greater beings than themselves who could help make their lives better.<br />
<br />
Suddenly, those who were analyzing what was happening realized that the aliens were using our communication systems to coordinate an attack on Earth. When the ships began to use a massive fire weapon to vaporize cities and released their war planes on the Earth, many feared it was too late. But it wasn't. President Whitmore kept it all together despite his own personal tragedies (his wife dies in the movie) and became nearly Reaganesque when he gave his "this is our Independence Day" speech. The people of Earth individually came together and were led by a President who gave them the freedom to be creative enough to solve and ultimately resolve the problem.<br />
<br />
This is what it has been like to be in exile as a conservative Republican since 2008. This is what the fight has been like. This is how close we have come to the political equivalent of death.<br />
<br />
We know liberals are not aliens from outer space. We know that the Democrat Party is not looking to blow up the world. But the analogies this writer sees are clearly evident in how Democrats have used our "communication system" to coordinate the attempted destruction of conservatism, Constitutionalism and religious expression in our culture. Our "communication system" - the mainstream media, academia and the pop culture - was completely taken over without us realizing it until as late as last decade when Rupert Murdoch founded Fox News to counter the ever growing imposition of the liberally biased "straight news" that was making its way into our living rooms and classrooms.<br />
<br />
When John McCain chose Sarah Palin to be his running mate, it was as if we had unleashed all of our force on the Democrats. Surprised that it didn't work, we analyzed and looked for reasons why. If there was ever a slogan that we could use to answer that question, it would have to be "it's the media, stupid."<br />
<br />
We attempted a full frontal assault on liberalism without really understanding their tactics. Their shields held and Obama won. We didn't understand the game. The McCain campaign shied away from attacking Obama's associations and trying to paint him as a socialist. The media and the Left had no problem attacking Palin and her children. They had no problem trying to paint her as a right wing extremist. We were playing tiddly winks and they were playing dodge ball.<br />
<br />
If there is any one silver lining that shines out of the dark disaster that was the 2008 election, it is the wonderful fact that we woke up, figured it out and are now in a great position to defeat the Democrats in 2012. The proliferation of conservative blog sites, web sites and users of social media has brought us even. We know that in order to defeat them, we must know what game they are playing and learn how to play it better. They own the board. Beating them on that board is the only way to take it back and reset the rules.<br />
<br />
To do this, we must take down their shields. Their shields are a powerful weave of media outlets, Hollywood cultural figures and academics who teach in our classrooms at both the K-12 level and in higher education. When Sarah Palin said Obama was palling around with terrorists, those who controlled the flow of that information to the public laughed. They sloughed off the idea that maybe journalists should look into how Obama formulated his political philosophy. If they had done their job properly, they would have found a Marxist mentor, an unrepentant terrorist and a radically progressive minister about as high on Obama's list of influences as Ronald Reagan, Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin are on mine.<br />
<br />
In other words, I could never B.S. the nation into thinking I was a moderate. I was a Reaganite in college. What would make you think I wouldn't be one now? Obama was a Marxist in college. What would make you think he wouldn't be one now?<br />
<br />
But, what if I had the shield of the mainstream media to run block for me? What if every criticism and every question about my past associations were deflected by those we should expect to investigate them? This is why Obama won in 2008. This is why many fear he can win again in 2012.<br />
<br />
The tide is turning, though.<br />
<br />
There is a sense of optimism. Paul Ryan says emphatically "we can do this!"<br />
<br />
Andrew Breitbart, Sarah Palin, Mark Levin and scores of conservative writers and media contributors are showing us that we can win. We can be good at the game. We can find ways to defeat them. We are able to go around the shields at the grass roots level in Republican primaries. People are waking up and realizing that the media lies. We are infiltrating. We see articles coming out of <a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2012/08/19/shocking-newsweek-cover-hit-road-barack-why-we-need-new-president" target="_blank">Newsweek</a> and <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0812/79867.html" target="_blank">Politico</a> written by "embedded" writers. We see ABC's Jake Tapper <a href="http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/70322/abcs-jake-tapper-tells-the-truth-a-blockbuster-interview-couched-in-polite-language/" target="_blank">admitting that the media tipped the scales in 2008</a>. We see Yahoo <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/yahoo-fires-washington-bureau-chief-for-hot-mic-comment-on-romney-hurricane/2012/08/29/81453474-f20b-11e1-b74c-84ed55e0300b_story.html" target="_blank">firing a bureau chief over racially charged remarks</a>.<br />
<br />
There are chinks in the armor. Their shields are starting to come down.<br />
<br />
In order to defeat Obama in 2012, the first step is to defeat the media. When Clint Eastwood says "<span class="tl">And when somebody does not do the job, we got to let them go,"</span> it is the ultimate "virus planted into the alien's computer." It's the pop culture icon making a statement that the media cannot hide. The media spent the last four years protecting Obama, smearing the Tea Party, lying about Sarah Palin and portraying the Republican Party as racist. Take all the money they spent and all the money the Obama campaign spent on its smear campaign against Mitt Romney and laugh at how one sentence from a famous actor just took all that down. One empty chair and one sentence.<br />
<br />
No, it's not time to celebrate just yet. But, boy is it time to get more optimistic. Four years ago, the fact checkers would have picked Paul Ryan's VP acceptance speech apart. Today, we are picking the fact checkers apart. Four years ago, the media fired at will. Today, we take their rhetorical missiles out as they are just leaving the silos. Four years ago, Mitt Romney would have been portrayed as Thurston Howell III. Today, he is a kind family man who is successful. Four years ago, being a family oriented woman who was successful was a crime. Today, we can come out of hiding and openly proclaim that success and hard earned wealth is American again.<br />
<br />
We can be proud to be conservative again. Romney's campaign can neutralize the media with the help of surrogates. There is an online army that didn't exist in 2008. If you're reading this post, you are part of that army. You are contributing to the success in the first front line battle of the 2012 campaign. Take down the media shields and the rest of the Obama campaign is done. Break through the front line of armored divisions and infantry and you will find nothing standing between us and that skinny kid from Chicago standing behind the curtain pulling the levers that make the wizard's voice boom and the fire blow up high around the talking head that once promised to heal the planet and cause the waters to recede. The illusion of hope and change is coming to an end.<br />
<br />
When we advance past the media front line and begin our march on the presidency, the final whimper you will hear is "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain." The gig is up. The cat is out of the bag. The Obama presidency is a failed presidency. It will join Jimmy Carter's and <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/slideshow/health/2010/03/01/americas-unhealthiest-presidents/?intcmp=features#slide=3" target="_blank">Franklin Pierce's</a> on the ash heap of history.<br />
<br />
You're beginning to see the media meltdown. It's happening on MSNBC. The anchors and contributors are going ballistic. They're accusing the GOP of being racists. They're making things up. Chris Matthews <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxGUnc57eP0&feature=youtu.be&a" target="_blank">is angry</a>. He's being <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/chris-matthews-producer-allegedly-gets-into-shoving-match-with-republicans/" target="_blank">mocked by Republicans for the thrill up his leg</a>. We're getting to them.<br />
<br />
Remember the cigars Will Smith and Judd Goldblum had in Independence Day? Don't light them just yet. Just keep an eye on how well we're doing against the media. If we keep doing what we're doing and the Romney campaign keeps doing what they're doing, the time for lighting the cigars will be here soon.Patrick S. Adamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02628677500109624860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670132098630116344.post-63500449429401894392012-08-09T22:57:00.002-04:002012-08-09T23:16:33.760-04:00Living the StatsI haven't been able to post a lot lately. I'm working twice as hard as I ever did for 10% less money. Life under Obama is the worst its ever been in the nearly 49 years I've been on the planet. Surely, not all of it's Obama's fault. I'm not here to blame all my life's problems on the President. I take responsibility for not being prepared for this. Yet, when I look at the root causes of the growing number of financial problems I find more and more Americans running into, all the data tells me that the fish stinks from the head down.<br />
<br />
Yes, there's a lot of body rot, too. Our moral and cultural decline contributes to much of why the fish stinks from the head down. The rot in our collective body has now made its way to the head and once there, the brain gets eaten away. Here are the <a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/25-horrible-statistics-about-the-u-s-economy-that-barack-obama-does-not-want-you-to-know" target="_blank">stats</a>.<br />
<br />
I lived during the Reagan years. Most of the people who have lived during the Reagan years will probably break for Romney by a 10% margin. Rudy Giulianni suggested on Hannity tonight that if only people over 40 voted, that would be the margin of victory for the former Massachusetts governor. Most of those under 40 never experienced the Reagan years. They don't know what great is so they think what we have right now is alright.<br />
<br />
The young don't have mortgages. The young think that the world is great because they're hooking up or they're enjoying a formal education because of all the loan money they're getting. They can drive nice cars because they have no other real expenses. Those in their 30's are just starting to become bitter and the only thing they know is that Bush and the Republicans sucked. Clinton was the man; so they vote Democrat.<br />
<br />
Those who are receiving benefits such as food stamps, disability, welfare and grants for education are being relieved of the necessity of self sufficiency. They will vote for Obama because for them, they get a check or a stipend and the time they would have had to devote to working and struggling to make ends meet is dedicated to XBox360 or Play Station III instead. Toss a few beers and couple of doobies in there and Utopia is right there waiting for them at the crack of noon when they wake up. I'm not saying all people on benefits are like this, but think about how easy it is for many of them to live that lifestyle on our dime if they so choose.<br />
<br />
For the rest us, the pillars of our society - traditional marriage, capitalism, the presence of the Lord in our daily activities, hard work for just reward and the ability to own and maintain a home - are collapsing around us. We are in an Orwellian world where the surreal replaces logic and common sense. We find ourselves alienated and disconnected from all that was at our very core. We are losing America as we and those who came before us for over 200 years knew it.<br />
<br />
I've lost a job and nearly lost a house. I've found a job that pays $8,000 a year less than the one I lost. I modified a mortgage on a house that is now under water. Liberals tell me I watch too much Fox News. Fox News has nothing to do with why I'm struggling to figure out how I'm going to fill a $400 shortfall in my monthly budget so I can avoid falling back into the financial rut I was in a year ago.<br />
<br />
I understand that voting for Romney isn't going to miraculously change my condition. But I sure as hell know that if Obama is elected, we're done. Not just me done, we're all done. America is done.<br />
<br />
When the President and his campaign advisers lie to the American people it pisses me off. It pisses me off even more when stupid people actually believe them. This isn't about ideology. This is about reality. This is about the destruction of our economy and our liberty. Those who choose to believe Obama contribute to this pending destruction. They don't realize that in the long run they will ultimately join us in the misery when the money runs out.<br />
<br />
There may be nothing we can do to save the country if it turns out there are more of them than there are of us. But if by the grace of God Romney wins and we are given a second chance to renew and restore America, some day down the road America has a chance of becoming a shining city on a hill again. I'm not looking for that to happen overnight. I'm just praying that we're not headed down the road that ancient Rome and so many other fallen empires have traveled in their twilight years.<br />
<br />
It's important to fight for what we believe. I'm not being a jerk about it. But, when someone tells me they're voting for Obama or they debate me on Obama, I simply tell them here's the choice: you can either vote for the destruction of your country or you can vote to renew and restore it. There is no gray area. You have a right to your opinion, but I want you to know that you are not realizing how bad it's going to get if you don't see it our way.<br />
<br />
People are always asking me how its possible that someone as bad as Obama is as president can still be considered the favorite to win in 2012. The answer is simple. Our society is a cesspool. We are in cultural decline. The liberals have successfully infiltrated the media, the pop culture, the academia and the political class to such an extent that many Americans are already either intellectually indoctrinated or bought out by the hand outs they get from the government.<br />
<br />
When the people become so greedy that they vote themselves the riches of the treasury, the nation goes broke. Those receiving all the benefits are the takers. They don't produce. Yes, some of them are legitimately disabled and a lot of them are receiving their well deserved social security benefits. But the portion of those who are caught in Obama's catch-22 where the heavily regulated and highly taxed economy is bleeding jobs at an unprecedented pace are finding themselves having to turn to the government for help. This is what the progressives want them to do. It's part of the plan.<br />
<br />
Four years ago, I wrote that the goal of Obama and the progressives was to fundamentally transform the United States of America into a European Socialist Democracy. Today, I write that they have achieved that. That is only step one. If you understand Obama's associations and his formative years in college, you'll understand that the agenda is to achieve a Marxist revolution. Only this time, they want it to happen peacefully. Step 1 is the European Socialist Democracy. Step 2 is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_K13Znmmxc" target="_blank">The Temples of Syrinx</a> (start at the 4:20 mark). It is their vision of imposing a Marxist collectivist Utopian system where the government cures the ills for all.<br />
<br />
This is pipe dream. It's totally unrealistic and undo-able. Changing or controlling human nature from the top down creates so many more unintended consequences than any other governing strategy. It also collapses on itself when, as Margaret Thatcher pointed out, it runs out of other people's money.<br />
<br />
It is with this collapse that we lose Divine Providence. The Lord has built into our universe the concept that obedience to His laws of nature and laws of reason is the mechanism by which we flourish and receive His graces. We cannot so much buck God's laws of nature than we can buck the laws of physics. Removing God from the public square and dismantling traditional marriage won't work the same way as building a car engine out of plastic won't. The liberals are messing with things that work and trying to make things up. They live in a fantasy world that will never exist. Their Utopia will ultimately lead us to hell on Earth.<br />
<br />
Should Romney win in November, we should all fall to our knees and pray that we have not already lost Divine Providence. We should pray that we as a nation are given a second chance to revive that which made us great: character and hard work. Pure capitalism trumps pure socialism every time. Belief trumps non-belief every time. Free people build their personal characters, educate themselves and raise their families from the bottom up, not from the top down. It's not up to the government to tell us who we should be. It's up to us to tell them who we are.<br />
<br />
If we are given our gift of liberty back, we must cherish it and never again allow ourselves to become so slovenly that we have to wake up one day and run to fields with Gadsden flags because we entrusted the Republican Establishment to take care of things for us. The time for big government is over now. It must end. If it gets any bigger it's going to suffocate us.<br />
<br />
Now go tell your friends. Have them read this if need be.<br />
