The dims won’t own it. The press will continue to blame “conservatives” for impeding progress. “If only the conservatives would have gotten out of the way,” they will say. “Because conservatives fought us at every turn, we missed our opportunities, and that’s why things fell apart.”

I guarantee that will be the spin. In fact, it’s already taking form.

“America isn’t a conservative country anymore and hasn’t been for a while.”

America has a gaping and clear fracture line. I feel little or no kinship for the “blue” sates, or the cultures within them.

Same here.

Writing from Jackson, Kentucky, Mr. Kristof reported that numerous poor parents in Appalachian hill country are yanking their kids out of literacy classes in order to bag a $689 monthly Supplemental Security Income (S.S.I.) check per kid. The checks continue until the child reaches 18 years of age.

“The kids get taken out of the program because the parents are going to lose the check,” said Billie Oaks, who runs a literacy program here in Breathitt County, a poor part of Kentucky. “It’s heartbreaking.”

1Cornell University Economics Professor Richard V. Burkhauser says parents are inducing illiteracy to keep the taxpayer-funded welfare checks rolling in. “One of the ways you get on this program is having problems in school. If you do better in school, you threaten the income of the parents. It’s a terrible incentive,” said Professor Burkhauser.

You don’t continue to build when the foundation is crumbling away. There is a reason some houses aren’t renovated, it requires less money to raze the old structure and start with a solid foundation and quality construction.

The question will be do we include the existing design flaws of the present system when we rebuild? Will anyone be able to point out the flaws that caused the previous system to crumble?

That’s why we need to focus on state and local elections. We need a fire break. If you live in a blue state, there are jobs down here in Texas. The Kalfornian rats have started moving in, so get here and help us kick them out.

The dems MSM will promote the story “its the GOP’s fault” regardless of how this turns out. Let It Burn. Its 2 years until mid-terms and the few sheeple who will even vote in mid-term elections will have long forgotten the “fiscal cliff” charade, the MSM will either be broke and closed or more focussed on hitlery and HIV Slick.

BamaClaus re-won for the same underlying reason he won in 2008, voter fraud, not massive, but just enough to overcome the close race and massive illegal foreign money into nobama campaign used to buy TV time.

Let it burn is, essentially, Atlas Shrugged.

“Let It Burn just means letting them have what they want and rebuilding later.”

Aye!

It's a bit more complicated than that. Most blue states are geographically almost entirely red, but play host to one or more major urban areas and thier suburbs. In reality the divide isn't red state/blue state, it is rural/urban.

There is a winning endgame strategy here. By way of a hint, keep in mind that the cities have to be fed, and they cannot grow their own food. A "strike" would bring them to their knees.

That is precisely what LBJ and the dems did to the blacks with welfare which broke up the black family.

Such nice people these dems we have to deal with......

Let It Burn is a damn good idea and probably the only way to beat all this. We’ve seen the futility of trying to work or negotiate with the clearly anti-American democrats.

You are correct. At that point it is no longer about the votes though. It is an area worth studying. Mao had some success in frustrating the Japanese occupation with this strategy, but Lenin was able to move our from cities to dominate and subjugate the countryside however.

We have about 6 decades of media and government school indoctrination. Only a catastrophic event can turn this around in less than another 6 decades.

Texas has feet of clay precisely because of the urban areas of Houston and Dallas. It will be almost impossible to destroy the liberal power bases in those cities-they will only grow stronger with time. Any state that hosts a city with a population exceeding 250,000 is going to be pulled to the left.

Check the growth of cities to stop liberalism. If they don't control your state legislature yet, zone them in good and tight. Control development near the cities to prevent the growth of liberal "exurbs." I'm not joking. States like Texas, Arizona and North Carolina need to take steps ASAP to keep from becoming another Virginia or Florida.

I think Rush is still right. There are more conservatives than liberal/progressives. Its just that some portion adopted “let it burn” before the 2012 election by sitting it out, voting 3rd party or going with the “access to the treasury” flow.
