Please check out this article I wrote, and my site How to Save the USA. We will probably lose talk radio soon, so we have to get together on the internet now!

Finding the silver lining
We’re starting down a dark road, dear readers.
I don’t know McCain personally, I can’t see inside his heart, but I doubt he will ever understand this crucial fact. He will say that it would have been impossible for any Republican to win given the economic environment and the low, low popularity of the Bush administration.
Fortunately, his opinion doesn’t matter anymore. He will not run again, if he does he wont win. He might hang around in the Senate for a while but his time in public life will end soon. Hopefully his brand of watered down semi-Conservatism will retire along with him.
Sarah Palin is free
Her reputation has been trashed and she’s been made into a laughing stock in one of the most rot gut and despicable displays of media bias in the long sick history thereof. I don’t know if she can ever recover, but she has a better chance of doing so without the McCain albatross around her neck. I sincerely hope we will see her again on the national stage.
The Republicans will man up
You remember how the Republicans were like a different party back during the Clinton administration? Remember how they seemed to stand for something, and how that lead them to victory and success? The Republican party seems to do better when they have an enemy to rally against, and with McCain’s wishy washy moderate Republicanism on the outs some real Conservative leadership will emerge. Since the Democrats did not get their filibuster proof majority this is crucial.
Anything that goes to pieces will have the Democrat name on it
Let’s face it, we have not seen the end of the economic melt down. The flailing, assinine bail out plan will damage our currency and at some point the unfunded obligation shoe will fall.
The root cause of these problems was and is Liberalism but people tend to blame the party in power for their pain. No one can argue that the Democrats aren’t in power now, and the Republicans will be in good position to make the case for limited government if they have the stones to do so.
So lick your wounds, eat some ice cream or some chocolate. We’re in a tight spot, but we aren’t defeated yet.

Great blog. I bookmarked it. We will keep up the good fight. There is no telling how much damage Barack Hussein Obama will do.
The republicans will man up? LOL! The dems have manned up and the repubs have been abject cowards. Frankly, I’m really tired of the bipartisan, limp wristed, pansy garbage coming from the GOP.
Nice work. The liberals are so full of hubris that they really are going to get blamed for so much stink over the next few years. Another silver lining...wait until nothing improves in people’s lives and they slowly come around to the fact that “Change” and “Hope” were empty slogans. Then we step in. I hope with Sarah. Another thing on our side is that viloent crime will unfortunately skyrocket now so the idiots who voted for 0bama will look to conservatives to protect them...at least enough that vote. The media is a serious problem though, never be the same. They are the ones I’m the angriest at by far.
I feel liberated. Now I can just smile and say, “not my fault, I didn’t elect any of these a##holes”....
Obama purged the moderates from the Democrats. Is it time to purge moderates from the GOP?
It is like I said after the SC primary, the general election was a Democrat runoff election and the bigger socialist had a huge advantage. We let the media and the Democrats pick our candidate and it is amazing we came as close as we did.
Hah! Too funny, I had the exact same conversation with my wife tonight.
Tonight I am going to get well and truly drunk. Tomorrow I’ll by that rifle I’ve been wanting because soon I may not be able to. I’ll pray for the good health of Justices Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy, Roberts, and Alito. I’ll pray for my country and countrymen. And the day after I’ll start looking forward to the 2010 congressional election and how we can use them to mitigate the power out opponents have taken tonight.
What else can we do.
The New Deal changed America for the worse and the change was permanant. Once an entitlement is created, it can’t be undone. We will not recognize the country in four years and even if the GOP does regain power, we will have many new sacred cow entitlements that can not be touched. The slow spiral toward socialism and mediocrity has become an all out sprint.
We may lose everything. We may lose talk radio. Conservative opinion on the internet. Once Obama brings universal healthcare— and a whole generation comes unto voting age believing it’s their right— then it’s a short walk to a socialist state.
Not to be an alarmist but the way I see it— we either win in 2012 or we will never get this country back. Obama will bring change. And he will transform this country.
Imagine 8 years of Jimmy Carter. Imagine if there was no Ronald Reagan. What would this country look like today? That’s what we’re facing if we can’t turn this thing around in 2012. Just what I think...
Whatever it takes.
I fear you’re correct on that point.
The Democrats get into power and cause all kinds of problems, and when the Republicans are in power the best we can hope for is that they slow the bleeding for a bit. There is no one out there really pushing for limited government and we need that right now.
Here we said that this is like how we felt in 1976, some good will come out of it... (in a way it did RINOs got removed!)
I doubt it. After this blowout election it would be embarrassing for the Dems to have to publicly contend that not enough radio outlets provided the "progressive" viewpoint.
I have heard others speculate that the Dems might try to shut FR down, but I doubt that, too. The FR-preferred candidates lost badly during the primaries. Fred Thompson barely registered. McCain was always at the bottom of the FR polls, but he became the nominee. The Dems probably figure that we have so little political influence that it is safe to ignore us.
They want to crush us, I assure you. They are not embarrassed by it at all. They want to unmake their opponents completely and utterly.
I am. It isn't working. I think liquor is called for.
Sure, but (1) they just did, and (2) reimposing the Fairness Doctrine has some political risk for them, and it is a risk they do not need to take. There are safer ways for them to consolidate their power.
Obama has said that he did not favor using the Fairness Doctrine. Though his word is worthless, he apparently thought it was politically expedient to make the statement.
