Thanks for this article.

What many do not fully appreciate is that a substantial number of the liberals from the 60’s and 70’s, were vicious, militant, young communists. They successfully turned our campuses into political camps and they changed the nature of many of our institutions.

We are dealing with them and their apprentices today. O’s writings indicate he has been surrounded by communists from his highchair days.

They are now one vote short of owning all three branches of the government. (Bush v Gore 5-4, Heller 5-4). Based on their past behavior, they will embed landmines throughout the structure. Those who receive checks from the government will one day outnumber those who pay the government.

Some would say it is folly to believe we can beat them politically.

Well said.

I don’t think it’s that complicated.

Even as bad as a candidate McCain is and how bad the GOP has done. McCain could have won by voting against the Bailout and used that against Obama.

Not hard, but when you have no convictions on the free market and the like, it’s easy to take advise from people who want the bailout.

The people did not.

whether, as a minority, it should work in a bipartisan fashion or resort to confrontational tactics that would show a contrast between the two parties

Gosh, what a tough choice. (Snicker.)

Bipartisanship is for people who want credit for the other side's mistakes.

During the competitive portion of the GOP primaries (before Romney dropped out) only 37% of registered Republican primary voters voted for McCain.

You cannot have a process that permits such an outcome and hope to carry your entire base into the general election.

How about a party that just adheres to the Constitution? Idiots.

How about learning
from this election?! There are
Republicans and

there are Democrats.
Vote for one or the other.
Don't waste time dreaming

childish fantasies
of new parties built ground up
just to suit your whims!

No new spending is more like it.

No fights in my family. We are pro life, pro gun, pro America, pro limited government and most of us are veterans. I don’t anticipate that will ever change.
