It was a sobering dinner party last night... Hosted by a London billionaire in his exquisite home...but the conversation between the ten of us was stone-cold serious...
"You know what my biggest fear is?" our host asked. "It's not really Obama, for what he's done is to accelerate what the liberals have been slowly doing for decades -- so quickly that their socialism is obvious to everyone. Which means the solution is obvious to everyone. My biggest fear is that voters will give Republicans the power to repair America on November 2nd -- and the Republicans won't have the courage to do it."

Although it was written in 2010, its predictions have most eerily come true.
Here is the entire foreword written by Erickson:
Rarely does one simply reprint the work of another but in this case the content is so compelling, it warrants wide distribution and serious consideration. Few people seem to grasp how serious the situation has become, worldwide. Mock the Tea Party people all you like, but they may be our only hope.
If Romney is elected there will be no change, he has already said he wants to work with democrats.
And the mystery billionaire was correct: the worthless John Boehner not only didn’t have the courage, he actively aided the rats in their endeavours to destroy the economy.
What a grotesque disappointment.
I have no faith whatsoever in Republicans to actually change what must be changed to save this republic :-(
Newt Gingrich would change it! But alas, he will not win.
I do not count him as a republican, he is altogether different from what passes as a republican these days. He wears the party name simply because only the two parties have a real shot at placing someone in the white house.
Someone like Newt comes along only rarely, it’s a pity we have passed him over because he is imperfect. We shall soon think back to what might have been...and weep. :-(
FANTASTIC GRAPHIC !
When you go for an operation they sit you down first an explain the risks including “our medical tools might be dirty.”
But else can you do?
I think I’ll enlarge this, print that and put it in my car’s back window.
Love your tag line!
I know the pubbies have no courage scary how clear it is to anyone who can think

The American Declaration of Independence specifies a uniquely constrained purpose for American governance:
"TO SECURE THESE RIGHTS, governments are instituted among men"
To secure them from what; to secure them from the organized criminal human nature whereby the collective/tribal herd always historically gravitates toward the subjugation of the Individual?
Hmmm. Sounds regulatory. Wonder what The Godfather thinks of that?
The Problem as I see it with Romney is that he will be such a mediocre President that even if he does win he will be so middle of the road as to “not upset the apple cart” that the economy will not bloom and then in 4 years it will assure that the democrats take back power on the whole meme that the “economy didn’t recover”.
Not to mention any GOP president is going to be so damned hated no matter how “moderate” they are. Mittens will get so damned gun shy that he will be ineffective and the MSM and the Democrat controlled media will smell blood and keep attacking him even as he retreats and this will paralyze him to what needs to be done to restore the economy and defuse all of Obama’s horrible regulatory actions.
Newt is going to be hated like hell anyways and HE KNOWS THAT, but he also knows that he will have the people who put him there behind even if the Media doesn’t paint it that way every night at 5:00pm.
So therefore, Newt (who thrives on antagonism instead of flinching from it) will take the bold measures to recover the economy despite being thrashed every night on the MSM news channels. In Four years the MSM will be flabbergasted like their were on election night in 1984, because the man on the street will notice the economy improvement.
Mitt is a Flincher, Newt is a Clincher
Definition of a Clincher:
a decisive fact, argument, act, or remark
Definition of a Flincher:
to withdraw or shrink from or as if from pain
We are so SOL if Either Mittens gets in or Barry gets a second term.
Mittens would only slow things down and then in four years the GOP would be blamed so much but with little to show we would still be in an economic malaise the likes of Carter’s worst dreams. This would GUARANTEE a Democrat Victory over the house the senate and even the presidency in 2016. They would not be pulling any punches as they would run someone that would make Obama look like a middle of the road moderate. Because they know they would have a very good chance of winning. Not to mention the class warfare game that could be played to Bolshevik conclusion during that election if we get Romney and mediocre performance out of him which is very much likely.
Of course Obama winning would be a very much “nothing to lose” second term that would see him likely either completely destroying the economy so badly that they play the game of “Destroy and Support” in that they would destroy the economy and then support the people as the “great savior” thus ensuring either “Glorious Revolution” or the mass construction project of making millions more so dependent that they will have a permanent grip on power that would only come undone with Blood sweat and tears, but mostly Blood and Tears.
ABO and ABR, because we really need Newt or maybe Santorum if we get desperate, heck I would even take, heaven forbid (I can’t believe I am saying this), Ron Paul over Romney for the reasons above.
So I repeat once more: Newt is the Clincher, and Mitt is the Flincher.
If Romney wins the nomination, then we’re going to have to throw the Whigs into the trashcan and settle on a Conservative candidate who can beat the other two.
Another problem is that the conservatives have been unable to get it together, either. There’s the libertarian faction and the pro-life, pro-family, pro-morality faction. They need to work together, but from all the bashing of candidates I’ve been seeing her for the past month or so, it doesn’t look as if they will.
We would need to settle on a single write-in candidate, on whom the Tea Party, the Catholics, and the Evangelicals can all agree.
The RINO-e guys got a write-in victory in Alaska with Murkowski, but they were tightly organized and bought the union and tribal votes. Well, this is it. We need to straighten out the morality of our country before it goes completely to the dogs—not by government decree, but by example and by persuasion and by help from the churches. And we need to shrink government drastically, not just make a feeble start.
It might almost be better to do it with a write-in candidate, who won’t owe anything to the Party, and can kick Boner and company to the curb.
That’s if Romney wins. But with the continuing division and foodfighting among conservatives, he probably will. And he would be absolutely delighted to keep Obama’s Czars right where they are.
If we don’t get Newt, nothing will change. I can see the man working 24/7 working to change obama’s executive orders and add a few of his own. This is what MUST be done or the downhill slalom will continue until we are dead.
Well, we aren’t going to get him, soooo....
It ain't over 'til it's over. Wait and see.
Ping!!

". . . and the Republicans won't have the courage to do it."This is a very real and possible danger we face. Between the RINOs and the spineless leadership within the Republican Party, there is a very real possibility that very little of the big government initiatives of Obama will be rolled back . . . especially with a big government conservative like Santorum or a big government moderate like Romney in charge.
I believe in miracles. This country needs a miracle desperately. No one else in this race will do what Newt can do. He will NOT play footsies with the dem leadership and he would tell boehner and mcconnell to go straight to hell if they tried. They might not like him, but he knows where the bodies are buried.
