I am not the literary type and am struggling with Vista and Windows 8. I don't know how to be a computer warrior except at sites like this. I shot expert with an m14 once though.

Conservatives are too lazy to do much more than generate blog articles and bluster online or the radio.

We refuse to use the left’s online weapons against them, nor are many of the wimps on our side willing to fight dirty or hard because they are more afraid of what the church ladies will think of them on Sunday.

The left basically fights in 4 dimensions while our side thinks that AM radio and bible quotes are all that you need to win.

When we stop trying to be all show, then we will easily mop these people off the map.

No. But that does not negate the idea that we need to play by different rules than we have been.

We have tactics we can use but they involve sacrifice. How many here have ejected the media from their living rooms? How many fund liberal propaganda with their cable TV payments? How many swear they will defend their guns but can’t even bring themselves not to patronize the liberal entertainment media? There is much more we could do, but even this one simple step is too much for most people here.

Events will control the arguement. Liberalism fails every time its tried and will again. Imagine when Pearl Harbor II comes with a destruction of a base, an EMP attack, a nuke of a few US cities. When the nation is buckling and defeat is looming—who will people turn too? The people who gave you a free phone or insurance will not look very good because you know the Chinese will only give you chains.

During the American Revolution, the “rules” said that you had to wear uniforms, march in formation, and engage in battle in an orderly manner. The American troops wore no uniforms, blended into the landscape, hid behind bushes, and disregarded the formal rules of battle. That is how they won.

That is what the liberals have done. They have not followed the law. They have used the courts to thwart the law and the will of the people. They have infiltrated the media and the education system and the executive ranks of business and commerce and shaped public opinion via lies and propaganda. They have behaved like Revolutionary War soldiers and they have succeeded.

We need to do the same - change the rules, change the game - to defeat them.

I assume this article is not meant entirely seriously.

I would like to see some of it implemented, at least in the sense of total war against the tyrannical left. When we have power, we need to roll back the infringements on our freedom, not just hold the line.

If Walker or Cruz is the next president, we need to repeal Obamacare or "deem it to have been repealed" just like Pelosi deemed it to have passed.

We need to ignore the filibuster and dismantle every vestige of Federal Government overreach, eliminating the government jobs associated with the enforcement of repealed laws.

We need to prosecute those who abuse local, state, or federal laws to infringe on the right to freedom of speech, the right to the free exercise of religion, the right to keep and bear arms, and other God-given and constitutionally-protected fundamental human rights.

“Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States . . . shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.”

“Deprivation of rights under color of law” carries the death penalty, and “there is no statute of limitations for federal crimes punishable by death”. Thugs in office who trample the Bill of Rights can (and must) face justice at whatever time that the rule of law is restored in the future.

He basically is calling out LIEberals for their disrespect of the rules of polite society, not to mention their disrespect for the Rule of Law and the US Constitution.

LIEberals are tearing the country apart and Col. Schlichter points out the methods behind their madness.

The question I have (which I have yet to see a clear answer for) is: WHY ARE LIEBERALS SO INTENT OF DESTROYING AMERICA?

And, what will we do to combat their methods and their madness?

“He basically is calling out LIEberals for their disrespect of the rules of polite society, not to mention their disrespect for the Rule of Law and the US Constitution.”

So he is wagging a limp finger at them for winning rather than realizing that the answer to how to beat them is right there in front of his face?

Polite society is the first and simplest thing that tyrants kick over.

Not rebellion. Revolt. Revolt is attempting to overthrow corrupt govt for injustice and iniquities done to those who are in revolt. Rebellion is unjust attempts to overturn lawful and just authority.

WHY ARE LIEBERALS SO INTENT OF DESTROYING AMERICA?

I think the answer begins with the founding of America and the fact that it has been the most successful society at providing prosperity and happiness for the most people. It did this without elitists, monarchs, nobles or dictators ruling over ordinary people. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things is an unforgivable affront to the vanity of elitist. In their opinion, it is raw and undirected power they feel they have a right to control.

I think most of the followers of the liberal leadership are intellectually lazy, equally vain and along for a free ride. They rile at the idea that people they consider their inferiors are successful and happy without their help or approval.

The example set by America cannot be allowed to stand. It is a direct threat to the false promises and lies of Satan. I really believe it is no more complicated than that.

Was it abandoning conservative principles to declare independence and go to war against our own government in 1776? Sometimes the system is so broken that the most conservative thing you can do is throw out the rules.

Yeah, I read it as a satirical piece. Glad I’m not alone.

The problem with adopting the enemy’s methods is that you become the enemy.

And frankly, they are far better at it.

Yes they are. For me, the choice is do I live to please man, or live to please God? We know what the left has chosen and the only law that counts for them is the one they make up as they go which is, basically, no law at all.

That being said, I see no conflict living for a higher purpose and defending that life with force if necessary.

Perhaps we conservatives should read this essay as a call to action and get off our asses and engage in full-body political combat against the LIEberals?

We know what they are doing and the tactics they are using.

What we don’t seem to have is an effective anti-LIEberal program.

Logic and Reason do not work.

We must not LIE; that is what the LIEberals do.

What then to do?

That is a great answer!

HST, what do we conservatives do to de-rail the LIEberal Express?
