| The conservative Gotterdammerung is finally here. “Like dazed survivors in a ravaged city, America’s conservatives are wailing and beating their collective breasts,” opines an Economist columnist. Former Reaganite Rep. Vin Weber (R-Minn.) laments in the journal Policy Review, “I have never been so concerned about the future of conservative ideas.” William Kristol of The Weekly Standard concludes that the “conservative movement, which accomplished great things over the past quarter-century, is finished.” His magazine has dedicated an entire issue to the “conservative crack-up.”

I think Bill Kristol is finished. His ideas float on the wind. He sides with whatever the going thing is, right now it looks like the liberal communists are in. I think the election was stolen. We have a lot of crooks in government. Their day is coming!

Jonah is right. Every loss is met this way. Whatever side loses, there are always pundits there to write obits. It took a bit more than 15 years for Reagan to go from the speech he gave for Goldwater to the presidency, and around 15 years for Newt Gingrich to go from a newly elected rep to speaker of the house after 40 years of democratic control. Things change. Frankly, I don´t feel like fighting anymore either, I am bitter and disappointed. But we cannot just quit the field. We have to be there, play after play bushing back as hard as we can.

Perhaps Boehner and McConnell could hold a joint press conference (they can hold hands for support) and remind the People that for 6 years Obama has bad-mouthed the BUSH tax cuts as cuts for millionaires and billionaires. So, OK we are going to allow them to expire. Then point out how beneficial they were to middle class Americans and small businesses too, and to prepare for higher taxes. (We tried to explain this to the American People but they would not listen to us). Explain that Obama really wanted them to pay their "fair share" too. Obama said the BUSH tax cuts were bad. He won. Americans lost.

Obama War Room: Tell Me Some Lies
OBAMA: So I said, ´´Whaddaya think, Mitt? Secretary of Business. Economy’s beginning to come back, and I need a turnaround guy like you to get it going the other way again so we can push for another stimulus.´´
[enter Secretaries of Defense and State]
LEON PANETTA: Sir! Sir! We just heard. . . . OBAMA: Stop! Unless it’s about which schmo and his family I want taken out with a drone, I don’t want to know. JOE BIDEN: People, do not put him in a position where he’s forced to delay a decision until the time to act has passed. HILLARY: But Mr. President, China. . . . OBAMA: [covers ears] Na na na na na na na na na. . . . [leaves] BIDEN: Jeez, what’s so gawdawful important you couldn’t handle it yourselves? PANETTA: A Chinese carrier group is cruising off Santa Monica. HILLARY: The People’s Republic has declared the Pacific Ocean an extension of its territorial waters. BIDEN: So? Let the U. N. handle it. HILLARY: Apparently, one of Ming ruler Zhu Di’s exploration fleets traversed the ocean in 1428 and claimed it for the Emperor. BIDEN: What could the Boss do about it anyway? PANETTA: Stage a benefit for displaced Pacific islanders? BIDEN: Betcha Chris Christie would appear. HILLARY: [screaming] This isn’t about Springsteen!
[Enter president]
OBAMA: Crisis over yet? Yes or no? No particulars. BIDEN: Sure, Chief. Jay, have the networks spike the story. National security concerns. CARNEY I´ll get nailed at my briefing. BIDEN: Just say: when the facts are in, the president will hold a presser and take hard questions. [snort]

Conservative Americans are ready to fight and have been for some time. We have been the ones on the field. Most Republicans in Washington have ignored the Tea Party or openly ridiculed it. Thank goodness the American Revolution didn´t have to depend upon men who were afraid to stand on the principle of God given freedom. It is going to take real backbone to confront the progressives on both sides of the aisle. We need voices of opposition not appeasement. Freedom is not free. It has always required sacrifice. Fly your Gadsen flag. The progs need to see the opposition.

Poster #5, I think you have something there. Let them implement their Marxist ideas and let´s watch it all collapse.
Folks, I´ve given up a hundred times. Quit, zip, nada, zero...but, just like all you L´dotters I picked myself up (once again) and gave it one more try. It´s like a self inflicted torture, but that´s us. That´s what we do. That´s why we come to Lucianne.com.
All the people on this blog are successful people and I don´t mean in just in financial terms. We need to pool our talents and weave a strategy to reverse this Marxist takeover of our government.
Although my kids are all grown, I´ve decided it´s to go after the (socialist) government educational system. I have concluded that is the root of all our problems.

#12 and others: we had 4 years to rebuke this administration and a small group of patriots sounded the alarm. But alas it all fell on deaf ears. Imagine, 40 states have submitted sesession petitions. What if those same 40 states submitted petitions declaring Obambi and illegial occupant of our White House? We cried, begged and submitted irrefutable evidence to the same and we were laughed at and riduculed. Told it couldn´t happen; well don´t we all wish now Obambi was out of office. Getting rid of him on Constitutional grounds would have restored the faith of the American people that this country truly is exceptional and are firmly rooted in the rule of law. What do we have now....a Marxist dictatorship to be. I cry for my country and will take up arms to defend it for my inheritors. God Bless America!

If it were just as simple as overcoming the people in power in Washington, that could be a challenge we could win, however, we are dealing with a new kind of welfare wanting American. The populace has changed. The so called melting pot has taken on too many tribes. I don´´t see combatting this flow.

I have to disagree. It doesn´t matter how many votes Republicans get in the future if the Democrats continue their massive voter fraud tactics. If machines can flip votes, if ballot boxes can be stuffed, if illegals can cast millions of votes, if voter fraud isn´t challenged state by state, it´s over.

# 1 My niece has been waitressing for two years since graduating from college. Her degree in a very esoteric field has not proved practical in this environment for employment. She still voted Obama , despite everything the rest of us did to try and convince her to vote Romney. Many of the her generation think of Republicans as old fogeys with outdated ideas. Tons of 14 year olds today will be voting in the next presidential election and many geriatric Republicans will have passed on. By 2016 , we will have had 16 years of Democrat presidents and only 8 with a Republican , with Bush barely getting elected the first term. We lost Senate and House seats last week. The times they are a changin and not for the better as far as national elections go. Wish I could be as optimistic as Jonah .

Bravo, Jonah! Well said, well written.
#14 - The problem is that the Great American Melting Pot was taken off the stove in the Sixties, and chilled solid by the poisonous Commie battle cry, "Diversity!" Now we have great chunks of the populace who proudly and loudly refuse to assimilate to create a whole new people, AMERICANS, as we were doing before. Now these good people are Hispanics, Muslims, Blacks, whatever above all and before all, adamantly opposed to assimilating (except on their terms exclusively.)

Stay funking, folks. It´s over.
And JFK set the parameters in his only Inauguration speech on Friday, 20 January 1961, at 1 3 p.m. (ET) when he famously said:
"Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."
In 2012, the new Democrats (and other takers) were the party of the first part. Those who cared more for their country were the party of the second part.
The second part lost.
Peace, Jonah, et al., but it ain´t gonna get any better.
We didn´t just lose an election, we (long ago) lost our schools, our courts, our media, and our spines. Get used to being enslaved, folks. You asked for it.
Under Islam, the choices for us are convert, be subjugated, or die.
Under Obama regime rule, the choices are exactly the same. Convert to being a taker. Be subjugated by subsidizing the takers. And the third is interesting...

Honest elections. Why can´t we get them investigated? It´s been this way for ages and it was 10 worse this time.
I am pretty sick of Republicans. They cannot fight, they will not fight, they don´t know how to fight. It seems like I have been on the losing team for too long. As Sarah said, it´s time to not only change the team, but the uniforms. OK, I´m ready. Where do I sign up?

I think Jonah´s spot on, but I also think while we were building a few conservative pubs, think tanks and media outlets, the left was building, as David Horowitz would put it, a Leviathan by stitching together an incestuous network of left-wing "non-profits", think-tanks, universities, media outlets and lawyer organizations.
We have to start building and building fast or we´re always going to be playing catch up to the corrupt thugs that now OWN the pop culture of this country.

I´m four years´ tired of fighting the national scene. I´ve concluded that national gov´t will be irrelevant because it´s inevitably bankrupt, so I´m preparing as best I can. I´m recently elected to our local school board, and arguing for independence and a stop to taking the drugs of grants provided incessantly by the state and feds. WA somehow just passed a charter school measure that the teacher unions opposed. Public school boards can form one. Local control over more and more of our fate is what I´m fighting these days. We all need to do that, and build to national from there.

There is a tipping point. The government unions, Academia and the MSM have been working hand-in-hand for well over 50 years, using the Alinsky playbook---see the SEIU, the Caesar Chavez Farm Workers movement and the election and re-election of Barack Hussein Obama. We have likely gone over the tipping point---I believe it will be seen retrospectively to prove it, much like the frog being boiled 1 degree at a time.

I´m sorry if I don´t share your optimism.
Democracy in the United States is dead and the US is henceforth ruled by a single party system. The republicans should stop contesting from now on...
unless you fix the voter registration & identification plus ensure that all voting machines are not tampered with & election monitors are not chased away from polling stations. And ensure ethical GOTV operations.
Otherwise, don´t bother. Democrats will always win.

In middle America, they are called Blue Dog Democrats. Here in the PNW, they are called Republicans (Massachusetts too). As long as they are voting like Democrats, we might as well vote for Democrats.
The GOP is Irrecoverable. This last election has made them extinct, or at least well on their way there. What Conservative third party will rise in its stead?

They stack the Court, we stack it higher. They woo the Latinos, we woo them back. Let us remember that Martin Luther King was a Republican, and not give up on African-Americans either. We can do all these things.

Start by attacking the wallets of the left as they are attacking the wallets of the so- called "rich." Form a list of conservative business owners, both national and by state, and do your level best to patronize the conservatives first.
We are fighting a war, as our forefathers did in the Revolution, and in other major conflicts such as World Wars I and II. The enemies are within our country this time. We can and will win this battle to preserve our nation. The first shots have been fired, by "American" weapons, at American citizens, at Benghazi. In truth, other shots were fired before, at our slain border agents, at Andrew Breitbart. The enemy takes aim at American generals now, and at our military by denying them the vote in the recent election.
While "These are the times that try mens´ souls, we have the great advantage of not being soul-less.

I´m in the angry, war planning, logistical preparation phase (bought six US Army surplus like new sleeping bags for $200 tonight).//If you spend $200-300 per month over a period of time having done your research and watching the sales, it´s amazing how much prepping you can do.//With enough good men and women, it´s certainly not over.

Last Thursday, Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) started a Twitter prairie fire with his call for people to describe #ObamacareInThreeWords. (My contribution was “Sorry, Doctor retired.”) (Snip) The White House, never shy to jump into social media, responded with a flurry of tweets, including “It’s. The. Law.” which smacked, more than anything, of typical Obama chest-thumping. Is the administration sure they want to aggressively take credit for a law which, for almost the entire three years since its passage, has had more Americans supporting its repeal than supporting the law itself and which, according to Rasmussen Reports

PORTLAND, Ore.—In the 1950s, after health authorities began fluoridating U.S. water supplies, they faced opposition from groups like the John Birch Society, which called it "an unconstitutional mass medication of the public." Sixty years later, the fight over fluoridation has erupted in Portland, where the battle has drawn in the city´s craft-beer brewers, organic-food purveyors and environmentalists. Even some of the city´s famed indie-rock musicians are taking sides. The debate has prompted something of an existential crisis in this self-consciously liberal city, which votes Tuesday on whether to overturn the city council´s 2012 decision to fluoridate.

I first saw the headline early Tuesday on Real Clear Politics, a political news site where I generally start my morning. It´s not where I expect to see a story on breast cancer. Then I checked my e-mail messages -- they all seemed to be about Angelina Jolie´s op-ed. Students in my undergraduate class wanted to discuss it in our next session. Colleagues expressed concern and wondered what the right response was. People I don´t even know sent e-mails. One, from a research fellow at the International Agency for Research on Cancer, nicely summed up the general concern:

The late columnist William Safire once said that a good clue that someone in Washington was engaged in “an artful dodge,” i.e., a cover-up, was that they used the phrase “mistakes were made.” Safire defined it as a “passive-evasive way of acknowledging error while distancing the speaker from responsibility for it.” The phrase became infamous when both Richard Nixon and Ron Ziegler, his press secretary, deployed it to explain away Watergate without explaining who did what and when or whether any ill motive was involved. Astonishingly, the Internal Revenue Service resurrected the Nixonian expression within hours

Just when you think the news surrounding Obamagate cannot get any worse, it does. Some say U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s days on the job are numbered and that it’s just a matter of when he’ll be forced to resign. While I’ll not shed a tear over Holder’s departure, one of the replacement names being floated has me reaching for tissues: Gov. Deval Patrick. Patrick has denied he’s interested — but the job isn’t on offer yet. If it is, President Obama should not select him nor should he be confirmed by the Senate for a plethora of reasons.

Don’t let anyone fool you: Everyone in politics is tempted to believe that their noble ends could justify unethical and illegal means. Those who had hoped that President Obama would usher in a new era of higher standards in Washington must be shell-shocked by last week’s revelations: -The Internal Revenue Service admitted to delaying conservative organizations’ tax-exempt status while quickly approving groups that had liberal or progressive orientations. The IRS asked these groups all sorts of invasive questions, including what kind of books they read, and leaked some information to the media. -The Department of Justice secretly obtained

The Arab Spring has unleashed the Arab Collapse. Everybody still standing in the region is picking the flesh of the helpless. The Islamist cancer proved more virulent than Arabs themselves expected, while dying regimes behave with unrestrained ruthlessness. And our diplomats still think everyone can be cajoled into harmony. We’re witnessing a titanic event, the crack-up of a long-tottering civilization. Arab societies grew so corrupt and stagnant that violent upheaval became inevitable. That’s what we’re seeing in Syria and Iraq — two names, one struggle — and will find elsewhere tomorrow.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.
