The reason this is doomed to fail is because the left is already in charge of every important command and control center in the country, and has been, for a very long time. What exactly are they going to fight against?

The reason this is doomed is because they will have to tell the truth about who they are and what their agenda is. They are committed to distraction, slogan and personal attack. It is the Left's own rules of engagement (ROE) that binds them. The ROE of the left must be, has to be...to lie.

What are these idiots going to say, Not Taxed Enough Already?

The Democrat party is entirely based now on government dependence. That is what keeps their constituency in line.

They are caught in a steel trap. They simply cannot begin to talk about anything involving government restraint.

Remember the short-lived Coffee Party? They’ve been there, done that, and failed.

Bipartisan legislative deals? They mean conceding all to Democrats? You know, Bush started implementing it and Democrats improved it....

Which part of the Constitution do the liberals support?
They do not understand that Freedom and the Constitution
isn't a suicide pact. And they hate every part of the
Constitution. Period.

Exactly. Note that Obama had to go out and lie to the country for years to get his stinking health care bill passed. If he'd told the truth, it would have been dead on arrival.

That said, I do know that hard core libs will tell you to your face that Americans aren't taxed enough. They honestly believe that the world would be a better place if everyone threw their hard earned money into a big pot to be redistributed by Big Brother.

The problem with that, is that it never works. People eventually just quit trying, and let the gubmint pay the freight until the whole thing collapses.

Conservatism has expressed itself as the modern day Tea Party.

Liberalism has expressed itself as the modern day Communist Party.

“Moreover, liberals on the Democratic Party’s left have apparently learned the wrong lessons from the rise of the tea party; that tempting the party with the lotus of electoral enthusiasm in order to hijack the agenda and force the party’s ideological trajectory in their direction is a winning strategy.”

There can never be a left-wing equivalent to the Tea Party. Leftism is basically an antithesis of conservatism. There is no “there” there. That is, there is no real core belief.

Their strength depends entirely on collectivism and ever expanding government and leftist power (i.e. not democratic or representative government or rule of law, but win by any means possible).

They must buy votes to piece together a coalition of disparate groups of disaffected people. Really, what do homosexuals, abortionists, illegal immigrants, welfare leeches, gun grabbers, and God haters have in common? Conservatism is what binds conservatives to each other, and the rejection of it does the same for leftists.

The moment people start to use logic, thought, reason; leftism collapses. Their arguments must always be made based on emotion, deception and fraud.

Leftists cannot use our tactics, and we cannot use theirs.

No wonder Obama’s been so effusive in his praise the past couple of days.

I thought the Tea Party was a right leaning bipartisan organization devoted to the restoration and preservation of constitutional rights for all American citizens.
