Flash mobs, phone banks and all are terrific, but they don’t provide the basis for campaign funds.

If this is the way they operate, then we need to find another more effective way to reach our ‘troops.’ Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but as S.I. Hayakawa is famous for saying: “People who say we should fight fire with fire forget that fire departments use water.”

We need to mobilize our own folks with the tools that work for them–not college kids.

We have some thinkin’ to do, but we got to do so fast!

I guess they think we are using the same tactics.

You’ve painted a very frightening picture of a left, liberation movement, cult of personality evokative of Chavez or Stalin being melded with 21st century technology.

The technology and organizing methodology is designed to create a revolutionary movement that will become informers or perhaps brownshirts if necessary, but right not is sticking with mass mobilization approaches.

I would be certain that there is a committed central core who are determining policies and recruiting joiners. Most of the people are in the fellow-traveller category - used as tools and indoctrinated to be on call for action; but the leaders are carefully observing whom among these they would wish to groom for positions of power.

I’ve seen this totalitarian model operating in student/youth groups in the 70s, and we have the antecedents of Communist Youth Brigades. And by targeting our youth, they’ll clearly playing for keeps.

You’ve documented this has some very deep pockets behind it and national organization that can recruit competent and ruthless leadership.

Bottom line: this is the civilian defense force we heard about during the election, still in embryonic form, but rapidly growing and developing into a dangerous entity. The direction of this movement is not compatible with our representative Constitutional federal form of government.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention to the rising danger. And your fears appear very well-founded, especially as Ohio must be a key state to their strategy of creating a one-party nation.

committed central core. All victories are “celebrated” and thank-you “events” are given to the rep who has “made the right decision.” The organizing methodology is straight from Chicago-style politics. It is the “at a moment’s notice” mobilization that is the most frightening. It was extremely difficult for me to experience both events without putting my head in my hands and saying “holy crap.”

I mean, I am a fiery type person, I tend to overwhelm the conversation and meetings, but I would have laughed by rear off. Anyway, all the power to you for being able to infiltrate, let us know of your future insurgency operations.

is in its infancy, and it shows.
The grass roots conservatives are light years ahead of anything the GOP is doing to date.
What DNC has going is a tech-savvy way to bring all the various splinter groups together in one spot, GOP doesn’t have that and corralling conservatives is like herding cats. Everyone wants their own group, own rules, etc.
So far though, we have Twitter and #tcot as a common fire starter to get everyone’s brush burning in the same direction, but when Twitter is down…what?
Need someone at GOP with some war-room sense to get it together, soon.

Conservatives Victorious in 2010

The following is excerpted from an October Truthout article [http://www.truthout.org/10210910]

Congressional switchboards were bombarded on Tuesday with over 300,000 calls from supporters of Barack Obama’s plan for health care reform….

The event was a part of a national call-in day billed as “time to deliver” by Obama’s political arm, Organizing for America (OFA). OFA is the Obama campaign transformed into a political organization that is housed in the DNC in Washington, DC.

DNC Chairman and Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine said that OFA is the largest department in the Democratic National Committee, with staff in 48 states. Kaine said that when he assumed the chair of the DNC, OFA was not part of the DNC, but that now it is the heart of the organization.

In the past, incumbents had begun to raise money and set their agenda for re-election early in their terms of office. The difference here is that Obama is cranking up the ground game before his first year is over. He will already have a national field campaign in full gear before the off-term elections, a move that could help him avoid the usual losses the party in the White House usually suffers. OFA may also emerge as the most powerful voice in 2016. A candidate with access to OFA’s organizational strength will have a huge leg up.

Again you should not underestimate this group.

They are good organizers, there are detailed plans, both tactical (websites/tools) and strategic long term(rules for radicals etc..)

Yuri Bezmerov on YouTube. What I found most fascinating was that the commies felt that their most ardent supporters were the most dangerous & they were among the first to be axed. You see, when those supporters found out they had been used & lied to , they became the commies worst enemies. Now to present day. Who on the left is screaming the loudest against Obamacare? It’s the rabid left– KOS, etc. Kudoes to you for having the guts to go into the belly of the beast!

infiltrating an enemy position ad providing highly valuable reconnaissance and somehow maintaining your composure you are hereby awarded a reco and 5 teabags

I don’t think Conservatives have that level of SCUM in them. I know WE want to compete with these tools but WE would also like to reserve the RIGHT to be HUMAN as well. I am ready to FIGHT but in the field of ideas and NEVER on USE of the hearts & minds of American citizens. I think these stories NEED to be told so that Americans can see how DISGUSTING and TREACHEROUS and PATHETIC The Idiot and his minions are and how they SUCK the very life force out of hard working Americans but I don’t want to fight their way I want to FIGHT our way!

Whoever has his enemy at his mercy &
does not destroy him is his own enemy

are going to have to get seriously involved and committed in 2010 otherwise they are going to very disappointed. Somehow the enormity of what they are facing needs to be exposed and taken to heart. There are way too many newbies involved in the Tea Party effort and the possibility for detachment due to losses could be significant.

I’ve spoken to many and recruited many to become precinct committeemen. They think going to a tea party is “being involved in politics.” When I explain the idea of getting into the Republican Party, they have no idea what a precinct committeeman is. They have no idea, although I know it’s obvious, that somehow somebody had to have elected the leaders of the Republican Party. When I ask them, “How did Michael Steele come to be the RNC Chairman, I get blank stares — they’ve never considered it. When I explain to them that it’s easy to become a PC, that HALF the slots are vacant, and that after one becomes one they can vote for the leadership and, possibly, vote to endorse conservative candidates in the primary elections, helping them win over a RINO, a light bulb goes off over their head. Well, sometimes.

The Party should be going to these tea parties and recruiting. But, of course, the incumbents are TERRIFIED of these “ruffians.” That’s why, with rare exceptions, they won’t. The incumbents, even the Mike Pences and Tom Prices and Jim DeMints and Tom Coburns won’t say a word about this to these conservative crowds.

So, I and others will keep trying to make contact with the leaders of the tea party and 9.12 and WeSurroundThem and other “patriot” groups and try to convince them to urge their members into the Republican Party as precinct committeemen.

Thank you.
