The few who have read my posts know that since way back, I acknowledged the good chance this would pass.

I frankly wasn’t worried about it, as those who read my stuff know. I was big on repeal.

When people were wringing their hands, i’d try to cheer ‘em up.

The only thing I was worried about, which i didn’t really mention (can’t look worried when you’re trying to keep others’ spirits up) was that the fighting spirit of those folks would be killed by the conventional wisdom that says repeal is impossible.

Well, I am so happy, because i see so many deepening their conservative hue and saying ‘Nuts!’ to the idea that America is dead, that we’re beaten.

What I see are intelligent, dedicated Patriots organizing, thinking clearly and cooly, but with deadly serious resolve. That sums up the American spirit when it is aroused by a challenge.

Ask the British way back. Ask the Germans. Ask the Japanese. Ask the Soviets, who we beat by outspending them.

We’re Americans. We don’t lose, although sometimes our darned politicians make it look that way. Consider Vietnam; although many seem to treat it as an American loss, we won all the battles, as our men fought intelligently and bravely against a smart, committed and fearless enemy. It was the politicians who ‘lost’ that war.

The democrats are going to learn the same lesson those people above learned. We’ll do it with our brains instead of bullets; we’ll bombard them at the polls; we’ll send them home in shame. But the lesson will be the same; you can’t take the freedom of an American. Period. Paragraph.

I’m bursting with pride!

Some Random thoughts:

Rocky Balboa, George Washington, Glenn Beck and Thomas Edison all have something in common; they all get/got knocked down, kept getting up, tough as nails, didn’t give in and they all won in the end. Very American. We’re gonna do the same with this socialist agenda.

The Dems know we’re gonna do it. That’ why Reid tried to put that ridiculous rule about 2/3 majority to pass. When the danged ‘bill’ passed, i was reading lib blogs, and many were expressing concern that this would be repealed, because obama/reid/pelosi were too stupid to put the goodies at the beginning.

Even now, Obama is trying to get the popularity of this up; he knows this is a loser. You know, we could probably tie him and his cronies up through Jan by attacking this constantly and making them defend it. Every two weeks, release one of the shocking, as-yet unheard of parts of the bill. Run ads, get the big league bloggers to release a bombshell. Keep them looking over their shoulders.

Rush is putting together his own supply of sob stories, caused by this nonsense. He’s turning their tactic on them. We should really do this kinda thing more.

We oughta get the Republicans in 13 to pass a bill requiring everything that is union made to have a sticker on it, so that the people of this country can make the decision whether to give to a union or not.

As many are pointing out, purity is not for us this time. But we should insist on one thing; a signed pledge to repeal obamacare when the conditions allow it.

See ya guys. Leave any great ideas, get ‘em out there!

Back to work, doing my small part…

call, email and fax him.

Let’s let him know how ‘pleased’ we are with his decision and how we all look forward to supporting his opponent later on this year.

This thing is SO going down.

I love it.

Bart Stupak is 216, as far as I’m concerned.

We need to make him a special project.

But let him merely be the face of the Democrat Party. These bstrds think they can control our destiny. They think they have the right to determine the future of America’s children. They think they’re better than us.

It’s time for them to feel the pain. The same pain that every dictator America has beaten down has felt. I’m not talking about armed revolution. I’m talking about destroying dictatorship.

As far as I’m concerned, this is round one in a 15-round title fight.

Feeling down? Go watch Rocky IV. Watch Rocky beat the piss outta that big Soviet. What a fitting metaphor for the beatdown we’re gonna give these people.

But we can’t just talk about it. We have to act.

What can we do?

What is the goal?

The immediate goal is to destroy Obamacare. The next is to destroy the Democrat party.

How?

Well, we will win big in 2010. That’s a given at this point. Obviously, we need to do the usual election year contortions. The key this year is to primary conservatives as much as possible. To this end, we need a command center, as one of our fellows here mentioned, which keeps track of the elections and who’s running. It would link to the websites of the candidates, and visitors will choose who to back. The site will provide news, polls and position statements for each candidate. Any web programmers out there? I can do a lot of stuff, but this is a big project. Anyone wanna help? Is it worth a few hours a week to restore America?

Next, 2012. We need to consolidate our gains in 2010. During the 2010-2011, we must make the Republicans feel the burn. Make it clear what we want. Make them do it. This will have to be carefully thought out and done, as we don’t want them to do anything that hurts 2012. This means alienating conservatives. The republicans must learn not to take their base for granted. The reason the left is ramming this through is they know, if they don’t have their base, they have nothing. The republicans must learn that if we give them majorities, they must ram OUR agenda thru, or they’ll have nothing. That’s why we, the most active elements of the Republican party, must be vocal and active from  the beginning. They must owe us. They must feel beholden to us.

To win in 2012 may require more crafty thinking, although I think the Punk-in-chief will make it an easy year. We need to focus on Dem Senators who won in McCain districts, and who won less than 60% in their districts. We find good conservative candidates, we support them, a la Scott Brown, and we coordinate with folks in those districts to get out the vote. That’s the key. Money helps this, because it puts our guy/gal in the public eye. Get-out-the-vote mvmts. make sure they go vote for our guy/gal.

We must get together with other conservative blogs/tea party groups/ media guys to put together a list of demands from our candidates. We need this to keep our agenda focussed and to hold them to their word WHEN we give them power.

We should include things that will cripple the Dem party.

Things like:

No more withholding of taxes for anyone. Cuts in IRS collections (to save money, of course).

A law prohibiting the establishment of any federal spending program (other than military) for which the money is not already in the bank.

A law making it impossible to get citizenship if you break immigration laws.

For all our laws, 75 vote majority needed to turn them over. 75 seat filibuster.

Finally, the option for ANY American to get out of any federal program and the associated taxes.

These things, are key. They are our Holy Grail.

I’m headed off for work soon, so I’ll make this quick. Forgive any errors, this’ll be a once-through, no editing.

It has been said, truthfully, that Govt-run healthcare is the Holy Grail of the Libs.

Once it’s passed, the CW goes, that’s it. People will be hooked. Look at England, they say.

(NOTE: I am still fighting this, and I think we have a good chance of winning this weekend. What follows is applicable whatever happens.)

Cloward-Piven. Socialist Takeover. All chaotic.

Well, let’s ask ourselves a question; why in England, as in America, do they do tax withholding? Why not let people get all their money upfront and then pay taxes at the end of the year?

Because THAT would be letting a genie out of the bottle. People would start paying REAL close attention to government spending. They’d want government programs ended. They’d be clamoring for tax reform.

Everything we want.

Govt-healthcare would give the Dems everything they want. An apathetic, hooked populace. Dependence.

Removing the tax withholding would give us everything we want. An engaged, clear-headed populace. Independence. And it’s much easier to do than repealing entitlements.

They say that if something’s free, people will take it. Human nature.

None of this crap is free. And when people are given something, it is hell to take it from them. Especially their money. Human nature.

He who controls public sentiment controls the situation.

It is time for us to control public sentiment.

BTW, a sweet bonus would be for the Republicans in 12, if/when they do this, to announce concurrent layoffs at the IRS, to cut spending, don’t you know.

They can cause chaos for private America? We can cause it for the public sector.

They can create a dependency class? We can create an independence class.

The PC project is a good step towards this. I am looking into if and when I can take such a position. I hope you will too.

If you can’t/won’t do PC, write, call, fax your Republican senator/rep to do this. We need to start pushing the idea NOW.

Thanks and let me know what you think (implementation, starting the movement, etc).

I think we all agree, the single biggest problem with American politics today is that the people WE hire are not listening to us.

The Democratic leadership is not listening to us on Obamacare, even after Scott Brown.

The Republicans don’t listen to us when they get power; they just help the Democrats consolidate their gains.

Why is this the case?

I think it’s for two reasons.

1. On the Republican side, we haven’t held their feet to the fire, to keep their campaign promises. This needs to change and likely will, now that so many have awoken.

2. The Dems know that when they get voted out there is a cushy lobbying job waiting for them in the great Beyond.

The first is easy to deal with. Likely, the Republicans already know this, as they are starting to show some spine, though to be sure, we could and should do far more to help them along.

The second may be able to be dealt with effectively, too.

Here’s what I propose:

We should set up some resource, perhaps a wiki-style site, that chronicles the following info on each Dem:

Job history

election history

voting history

MOST IMPORTANT: ‘where are they now?’

If we followed these people beyond their time in office, and kept dibbs on them, we can make their life and that of their family a nightmare. All we’d have to do for instance, to cut off their ability to earn money is give  their new bosses bad publicity. Make them a poison pill to the lobbying community. Also, conservative activists living in their area could make their presence known to others in their community, so that these people would have a difficult social life, a la Ben Nelson’s wife.

Make them pariahs.

It’s really not that hard. We just need an information source to get started.

Any suggestions?

Will you give up?

I have seen a lot of poo pooing on the idea of repeal.

Earlier, I posted this in the midst of a bunch of eeyore prognostications:

well i fully expect

that everyone wringing their hands, eg steyn et. al. will immediately shut down shop and be silent if/when this passes.

I mean, if it is so bad, and so hopeless, what is the point of going on?

That’s the logical consequence of this defeatist nonsense.

My God, I would not want to have been stuck at Valley Forge with such people.

And someone replied:

I Wouldnt Want To Be Stuck with people who are content watching this from the sidelines and waiting for Novemeber to “show ‘em”. That is defeatist to me and ridiculously idealistic.

Name withheld, but they know who they are

My response:

You don’t know me.

You don’t know which campaigns I have been involved in. You don’t know who I have written/called, etc. You don’t know how much money I have donated.

So keep your uninformed comments to yourself.

If my comment struck a nerve (handwringing, whining), that’s not my problem.

No one is waiting ’til November to ’show em’. I and many others are fighting.

They’re listening at some level, but they still seem determined to push this through.

We have to have a contingency. Just as the US during the Cold War had contigencies for Soviet invansions, Nuclear weapons. they did everything to prevent those and they did, God Bless ‘em. But they still had contingencies.

You know what is idealistic? Pretending that this passing is not a possibility.

Again, such people would not have been good at Valley Forge. We’d be subjects today.

I got no response from this guy.

I don’t think it is an exercise in bad logic to deduce that these people, if this passes, will give up and go home. After all, if this is so destructive to the country and so impossible to undo, why should we continue to fight? Why not just let amnesty go through? Why fight cap and tax? I certainly hope, that for consistency’s sake and for the sake of those of us who will continue to fight, that if this passes, they will go home, and not ruin the pool of potential recruits for changing America.

Let’s look at the problem in detail, shall we?

First off, it is WRECKLESS and IRRESPONSIBLE to not have a contingency. It is even worse for these people to not only not have a contigency, but to discourage those of us willing to consider such necessities.

I really think such people are projecting their own problems on the rest of us.

They either:

know deep down that they will take advantage of these socialist programs and won’t want anyone to take them away;

will be too lazy to continue the fight;

are revealing their lack of courage with respect to facing down a dictatorship in the making.

I love the bold heroes who have bold slogans/quotes of real patriots like Sam Adams and George Washington and all those fellows, and fly right in the face of those slogans/quotes with their ‘sky is falling’ whining.

These people say that this cannot be repealed because the GOP never repealed anything before.

You wanna know why?

Look at them. They are exactly the kind of constituents that have allowed the GOP to get away with this. People who didn’t hold the Republicans’ feet to the fire on repealing the Dept. of Education and all kinds of other ridiculous govt. programs, because, well, such things are impossible. They know themselves so well.

Wanna know why it might end up being impossible? Look in the mirror.

And I really wish Steyn would keep his Canadian/European fatalism to himself. The guy laughs at his own insipid jokes, as someone pointed out recently. He’s sort of an intellectual. Aside from that, i don’t know why i should listen to him.

Europeans are wired to be dependent on government. It’s a function of their history.

We’re not. It’s a function of our history.

Steyn himself did make one good observation back in December, when he said Americans were the only people in the Western World protesting for LESS government involvement. Then he goes right on to say that if this passes, that’s the end of America. Implicitly, according to him, we’ll instantly want this stuff that we’re so desperately fighting against now.

Consistent, systematic thinking is truly at a premium.

I have fought, am fighting and will continue to fight to stop the passage of this. But I believe you must always have a backup plan.

… well so should  irresponsible votes.

The problem is that politicians don’t fear us. And I don’t mean the fear of being tarred and feathered (although they don’t fear us that way either; they have the monopoly on power). They aren’t overly concerned about being voted out of office because if they are, they get all kinds of wonderful benefits. And I don’t just mean the ones they get as retiring politicians.

You know what I mean.

Lobbying jobs. K street. and the rest.

It is high time these lowlives learn what the word ‘consequences’ means.

How can we do this within the confines of the law?

Well, I have an idea.

Humans are social creatures. One of the worst things you can do to a human is to isolate them. To make them socially unacceptable.

That’s what we must do.

Now, there are all kinds of ways to do that. I will propose one possibility.

I think we should put together a collaborative project, a ‘where are they now?’ project. Perhaps a wiki-style project. Something which various people can update and which can be used as an info source to make pariahs of these people.

We could use the info to figure out who to boycott, who to shine light on (read: bring bad p.r. on them), who to slam with phone calls, letters and faxes, all whenever they hire one of these slime molds.

The info could include :

biographical info

voting record

where they have worked since leaving office

Where they are now.

This would provide a clean, neat handy resource for those restless souls who like to make noise and bring some well-deserved misery to these people who are trying to ruin our country.

Make a normal life very difficult for them.

It has been said that elections have consequences.

Well, so should irresponsible votes.

Okay, so tonight I start laying out the plan. Here goes.

1st: Prerequisites. Rational mind; consistent and systematic mindset, q.v. my earlier post, Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

So now, to the guts of the plan.

We need to mirror the Soros-Nutroot complex.

A very effective strategy in general, to confound an opponent, is to mirror their tactics.

They don’t expect us to be as cutthroat or cunning as they have been. I argue we can be and even more so.

Of course, we are constrained by the rule of law, but we can do a LOT within those constraints.

That’s why I said in my original post I cannot take credit for the overall plan, although I have some decent ideas of my own which are integral.

So here goes.

Step 1. Go on a massive discredit campaign.

They did it to Bush. They’re doing it to Palin. Trent Lott. Cheney. And on and on and on…

This has already begun for Obama; it started with Rush (‘I hope he fails’) and the new Media, and now it is spreading. But many are still separating Obama himself from his policies. We have to remedy this. And the same for Pelosi and Reid.

We have to link Obama as a person with his policies. And we already have the material to do so. We should revisit his associations. Now that he is showing the world what a radical he is, people are much more ready to hear it. We have to crystallize it into a few words, and include these soundbites in every analysis of his policies that we do. These soundbites have to become part of the political vocabulary of everyday folk. By implementing it thru websites, blogs, youtube videos, etc. we can do this.

We have to move from this aversion to personal attacks. If the person invites the attacks, they’re okay.

And the way you deflect criticism of using personal attacks, is to use them sparingly and to say ‘it’s not an attack, it’s true.’ And then give the reason its true.( See # 2, ‘as credibility erodes, link the person and the policy’)

They did with Bush. ‘The failed Bush administration’ and the like.

‘The last eight years’. ‘Bush lied, people died.’ ‘The Bush tax cuts.’

And on and on.

So we have to do the same. You guys are smarter than me and can come up with better ones. But don’t be egotistical about it. When you see someone else has a better one, use it and spread it. Let the best become the common ones.

Step 2. As credibility erodes, link it to their policies.

Again, they did it to Bush. Think of the War on Terror. Or Waterboarding.

Step 3. Keep it up til election season. Nominate electable candidates to districts normally not yours.

They ran ‘blue dogs’ in our districts. We need to find moderate fiscal conservatives to run in theirs. People who understand from the beginning that their political survival depends on us, and who will do our will.

Step 4. Take over the organs of election.

Consider Soros’s Secretary of State program. He’s doing it to steal elections. We’ll do it to protect them.

Step 5. Win the elections.

They had the media in their pocket. Lots of Soros’s dirty money. Astroturfing.

So we deal with the media, put up lots of small donations from patriots across the fruited plain and genuine grassroots organization.

(The Scott Brown model of organization may be the best I have yet seen for our purposes. He had volunteers from all over the country calling, and he raised money at just the right times.)

This requires softening the media up beforehand (will be addressed soon in a separate article), organizing and funding candidates. Also, running hard-hitting ads.

Step 6. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. After we win, we hold our elected officials’ feet to the fire.

This is why I get so frustrated when I hear people say we can’t rely on our own officials to repeal entitlements, or cut government or protect the Constitution. This shouldn’t be an issue.

Think about it. We put a ton of pressure on the Democrats and we’re not their constituents. And yet look how much we’ve managed to slow down their agenda.

Many are saying now, there is not a dime’s difference between the two parties. I don’t buy that. And I think the single greatest difference is that the Republicans, given enough pressure, will bow to the will of their constituents, q.v. the last attempt at amnesty, the ports deal, even Social Security Reform.

Because of this, I believe if we put just half the pressure on the Republicans to do our will, that we put on the Dems this year, we’d get what we want out of them.

And when they do our bidding, we reward them with calls, faxes and letters of support and thanks. I wonder how many people are doing that right now? It is not enough to yell at them when they’re wrong; we must also thank them and show appreciation when they’re right. It makes it easier for them to do what they should.

 And so it must be. What we want, more than anything else, is a STRONG interpretation of the 10^th amendment and a major downsizing of government.

Step 7. Begin dismantling progressive nonsense at the state level.

Infiltrate BESE boards, influence textbooks (in key areas), deal with colleges (after all, you’re paying the tuition for those kids of yours),

Neuter state unions.

Now, this was laid out in a very general way.

There are many tactical considerations, which I have thought out, which would make the implementation of these possible. And many of these are proven, because they have been borrowed from successful movements of the past (e.g., Soros, the nutroots, etc) and certain worthy individuals.

For instance,

How to deal with the media.  

Why entitlement repeal is realistic.

How to make conservatives out of minorities.

How to neutralize liberal talking points in the public sphere.

How to take their power to buy votes with our tax dollars.

How to disinfect American education, once and for all.

The monopoly of power of the Fed gov and the Founders’ view. The solution.

Tools and tactics.

These will be laid out in the coming weeks. At the end, I will edit and clarify it and put together a free pdf file for my readers.

Thanks.

This came out today in a spontaneous blow-up at the radio when they were talking about Grahamnesty. I wonder whether anyone has said this:

We need to teaparty his ***.

I think that verb could really catch on. What do you think?

Look out for a new post tonight.

See ya then.
