I know you as a thoughtful poster and I respect your views.
However, I disagree with you here. Just one example: LBJ was in office a little more than four years and we will NEVER be rid of the Great Society/War on Poverty. NEVER.
All we can ever hope to do is “reform” it here and there.
My point is that, see my tagline, YOU NEVER WIN BY LOSING.
You can never teach enough or any of that to overcome the gains the Left will be making PERMANENT in that time.
Doesn’t matter what the score is, we must never surrender ground. We must keep fighting.
You are reasonable enough to realize that it’s important to defeat Obambi, and that means voting for McCain.
Others are not smart enough, apparently, or perhaps too guided by emotion to make that connection. That’s what will hand the election to Obambi, if that sad event for our nation occurs.
And that’s why all this whining is pernicious. It leads the emotionally susceptible away from the conclusion that, regardless, Obambi must be defeated and that requires each person exercising his personal responsibility to help defeat Obambi by voting for McCain.
“Teaching?” It never ends. Like now. We need to teach (ourselves) that, whether you have to play offense or defense, you vote to salvage what you can for the country, not to “make a statement in protest” that hands the country over to someone like Obambi and the Rats.
I don't think I advocated losing - I'm voting for McCain, I'm encouraging family and friends to do the same. I wish he could win.
What I AM saying is that we need to recapture 1994's philosophy and ideology with leaders who are committed to it.
Obama's inventors and handlers are "68ers" - in France, where they have been in power for years, they call 'em "soixante-huitards".
They didn't win their revolution in 1968, but they never gave up, they always, always stayed focused on what they wanted to accomplish, and now they are about to take power here.
We need to become "quatre-vingts quatorzards". Instead of following liberals like Bush masquerading as "conservatives", who use us to gain power, we need radical fanatics, people like Bill Ayers and Mike Klonsky, people who will even go underground if necessary. Someday, the wheel will turn, the coming Leftist revolution will eat its children (as ever) and we will be ready for another 1994, this time with real leaders.
