In an effort to regain a spirit of capitalism and protecting our freedom, I am returning to this fairly dormant site to try to make my country a better place... A place it once was before socialists, communists, and other progressive influences flushed it down a spiraling drain that it may never climb back out of.
Due to recent elections, I have reflected on the mindset of the American left, tactics they've used, the demise of the Republican Party, and how the messaging, unity, and tactics of the Republican Party have proven to be utterly impotent.
What can conservatives learn from the left?
1. Party affiliation is of relatively little importance.
The progressives have managed to infiltrate both parties.
2. It's okay to be covert and/or clandestine. If clandestine and covert actions are acceptable for causes involving winning battles and even wars, don't you think it's just as important, or even more important to use some of these tactics to influence the outcomes of the elections of the leaders who drag us in and out of war? Let that one steep for a while.
3. The primaries matter in their outcome, but not to the voter when they cast the ballot. Does the name Alvin Greene sound familiar? He won the Democrat primary in South Carolina, only to be taken to the woodshed by his Republican opponent, Sen. Jim DeMint. He won his primary simply because his name sounded like some famous singer, Al Green. Has Congressman Hank Johnson had any primary challengers lately? That race should be an easy win for anyone willing to challenge him... Then again... His district is senseless enough to keep electing and re-electing him.
4. Conservatives can use choice architecture in the same manner that the progressives have used for decades and possibly even centuries. Who's to say that a conservative cant run in a Democrat primary? Or for true choice architecture, put TWO conservatives up for ballot against each other in a Democrat primary? Either way, a conservative will win, and then when the drones mark the "D" come general Election Day without knowing anything about the candidates, a conservative can be installed... Even if under the radar. This tactic will require coordinated planning, strategic positioning of candidates in districts where they can be snuck in, and, depending on the situation, senseless battering by the CONSERVATIVE media to get the Dems to elect the individual out of spite to the conservative media. This is an extension of #2 in this article.
Whatever the tactic or tactics chosen, one thing's for sure... The conservative movement needs to open-minded enough to change course from the same-old-same-old that has put us in the predicament we are in today... thank you, Karl Rove and Anne Coulter. Gov. Chris Christie would make a better liberal than he would a conservative, so stop promoting him as a conservative, you two.
