While millions of us watch with dread the daily mischief of the enemies of freedom, and while this concern is proper and wise, we ought to recall also that these enemies are transcendent nebbishes: they know nothing; they believe nothing; they trust nothing. They flinch like savages from those of us who care about truth.
The almost total infestation of our institutions by leftists simply means that, over time, these institutions become cemeteries marked with unkempt graves. Whole sections of America have become festering scabs, as Victor Davis Hanson has described so well about the beautiful and luxuriant orchids, vineyards, and fields of his California homeland.
We are obliged to mourn all lost souls, but we are not bound to see in their despair and decline our own futures. The only real danger we face is the tantalizing but phony benefit of making peace with the left...

Being part of the British Empire offered distinct material advantages, at least theoretically, and our Revolutionary War, which was just as properly our first civil war, was costly in devastation and carnage. This was one reason why the bulk of world opinion imagined that our new nation would fail miserably. The world then, like the universe of leftism today, was wrong.
The odds against us often seem daunting, and yet we survive. Those who stand for good things without flinching do prevail over time. America survived 1776 just as Britain survived 1940. Jews, against all odds, have survived, and Christianity, against all reason, has converted savage empires and lived through persecution which is still very much alive today. The often lonely followers of honesty, virtue, and faith in time prevail. That is our sure victory.

I’m beginning to thick the GOP is every bit as much of the problem as the Dems.
Because of the strangle-hold the elitist moneyed RINO interests have on it, I think its unsalvageable and to be destroyed and replaced.
Ditto
Agreed. We’re bit slow to catch on but now w’re on to the game.
A Japanese scout plane flies over the US carriers at Midway in broad daylight and doesn't see them; the Jamestown settlers, out of supplies, were on their way back to England when they meet a supply ship at the mouth of the James River; a FL Sec of St ensures Gore doesn't get away with vote fraud; and so on.
i need to read something truly uplifting today. So far, so good.

I'm pretty sure you heard about the Tea Party. Nobody said life was supposed to be easy.
Good luck Tea Party
We all saw what Boehner did to them and what he’s up to with the illegals. We saw how McCain and Graham plotted and schemed to corrupt Rubio.
At this point it’s clear another Bush or Romney or even that bastard Christie is being groomed by the GOP establishment for 2016.
You want to fight Marxists?
We need to destroy the GOP first so a real opposition party can flourish.
Immigration and the Hastert Rule - The anatomy of a promise.
By this point, the conservatives in the House were coming unglued. The same day, Representative Steve King told National Review Online he had gathered the necessary 50 signatures to force a “special conference” on immigration. While King said he was not envisioning a challenge to Boehner, forcing a special conference happened to be the same procedure one would use to force an unscheduled leadership election.
Unless they can flush that piece of crap out of office he will keep pandering to the RINOs and Libs. He’s a catastrophe.
