Konservative Kwandary: A Comment

REPUBLICANSTHIRST2.jpg

SCOTT M COMMENTING IN "Liberals barely glance at the black conservative hanging in the courthouse square. Nothing new to see here," writes:

"Conservatives are confused and charge liberals of hypocrisy because conservatives are looking at the world from their internal perspective. Once you understand and ACT as if you recognize liberals act in furtherance of their power, and use all situations toward that goal, it's much easier to understand the liberal world. NOW, NAACP, PETA, etc, they will each demand destruction of their constituents if that is what advances liberal hegemony.

"When conservatives charge liberals with being hypocrites it's exactly like the rural goobers from Dirtpatch, Indiana charging the Three Card Monty players with dishonesty. YEH, that's the point of the game. Why didn't you know that before you started playing with them? Are you going to lecture the TCM players on good sportsmanship? Don't you think the TCM players are laughing at you while you tell them to give up the money from the game so they can win the admiration of those with middle-class values?

"If recognizing liberals as rank hypocrites was the way to victory, why are they still occupying civil society and all levers of power? Maybe "discovering" liberal are hypocrites and trying to convince conservative-minded people that acting in a conservative manner is consistent isn't a winning strategy? Maybe occupying liberal seats of power with disruptive behavior and hounding them at every waking moment works better? It sure worked to take over the culture.

"We outnumber liberals 2-1. But liberals get off their rears and do things. We tell each other our behavior and ideas are more pleasant and successful, and then ignore the fight until election day. We pretend if we win the election, we've won the argument and it's safe to go home. We are almost as weak and useless as our RINO officeholders. When you hide from liberals you surrender to liberals. Every moment of peace and comfort you allow liberals is a refuge liberals use to continue to ruin the country. Conservatives seem more interested in being right than achieving a victory. The people we are fighting with and the people we hope to win over are not logic and fact driven. If they were they would already be on our side. The moderates and independents, not to mention the Democrats, are the people that saw the 20th century and still aren't sure if big government statism is the answer to all of our problems. They don't lack for facts. They've avoided the facts. That's why they aren't conservative.

"You can't pick a candidate that will preempt liberal smears, so pick a candidate that will fight and win. Romney isn't electable. Romney is the man that lost to the man that lost to Obama. Conservatives are so afraid of a fight they hope to find a candidate that hits all the check marks so nobody will attack him. The desire for a candidate the libs can't attack should be proof your worldview is dysfunctional.

Thanks Gerard for the notice. I pray your recovery is going well. You are very important to many people.

Exactly.

#Occupy THEIR space.

See how they like it.

The problem with occupying their space is that we need body guards to do so. Just ask any of the speakers who try to speak at universities, which are supposed to be open to ideas. And the elitists will never part with their... elitism. It's the "too cool for Sarah Palin" mentality. I witnessed it first hand in the 08 cycle. Even my kids were called racists for our open support of Palin/McCain... by other very young school kids. The problem is that our base doesn't have the political will, maybe not even the political consciousness, to fight. I know it's not an option in 2012, but I'm finding myself wishing for a third party more than ever before... a fighting party which, like Scott and Joan propose, is willing to take risks. It may lead to an all out civil war but we're committing national suicide the way we're going.

This commentary is spot-on. And, yes, I do think there will be another civil war.

Fight by their rules. That gives them the shivers; you seen and heard the squealing when THAT happens. The cries of unfair billow out like smoke at a four-alarm fire.

Gerard: We love you man. But, you have to spend your time and energy on your own health, because this one seems to be over. It is time for you, and me, for that matter, to learn to love Mitt Romney.

First: Here is a list of the Republican Nominees for President since WWII:

Starting with 2008 and going back:

McCain
Bush II (2x)
Dole
Bush I (2x)
Reagan (2x)
Ford
Nixon (3x)
Goldwater
Eisenhower
Dewey

Only two of those who were recognizably conservative are Goldwater and Reagan. I think that Mitt would be to the right of all of them except for Barry and Ronnie.

Second, talk of a third party is pure foolishness. The most important thing is getting Hussein and the Insane Clown Possee out of the White House. Compared with that gang of Communists, Mitt is a right winger.

Third, The election is the incumbent's to lose. Our nominee must not blow up like Rick Perry, and cannot scare small children like Ron Paul.

This is the greater sin of Herman Cain. He not only didn't stay on the plantation, he's trying to help others off of it. And he's saying as much.

This pattern is Obama's, but before the 2008 election.
In the Illinois Senate race, Obama (with the help of the media) cleared the slate of opposing candidates with legal challenges and bad PR. I think he learned a useful lesson then.
If the candidate you are running against is constantly being replaced by someone new because you damaged the old candidate before the voting started, he built momentum and the other guy was always getting started.

"It is time for you, and me, for that matter, to learn to love Mitt Romney."

I never like to talk like this in a public forum, but, this needs to be said:

Bullshit!

He's The One the insiders at the RNC want to give the nomination to: most GOPers know it. They are willing to ignore that monster of RomneyCare hanging over his pretty neck like an albatross, thinking that it will make no difference in the end.

With that kind of attitude, the election is over. Obama has already won. Pick up your stuff, we're going home.

Honestly... do YOU want Obama to remain in the White House?

Are you better off today than you were in 2008? That's the question that needs asking, loudly and broadly. That's the question the American People will have to answer to themselves, within the confines of their homes, families and finances. They cannot deny what they see once they ask it.

That was the awakening question of 1980. That MUST be The Question of 2012. If the people choose to ignore it and re-elect Obama, this nation is doomed.

BS. No we do not. When faced with determination they going crying home to Mommy that we are being mean. Smack the frakkin' fools in the face a few times. Deliver the disdain with a beotch slap and they shall run away. When you get right down to it they are cowards.
