The Counter Insurgent Supportive blogosphere that tried to

Support The Military

Care For The Wounded

Remember The Fallen

Honor The Sacrifices

whether or not they recognize themselves as such, are potential cadre for Former Regime Loyalist efforts to de-program the cultists of the new regime and reinvigorate the demoralized.

The Belmont Club is uniquely positioned for a leadership role among oppositional web based Patriot Information Support Teams, because wretchard is off-shore and a veteran of the anti-Marcos resistance.

The Internet in America will be controlled. Oppositional blogs will be pulled, smacked down, or harrassed until the bloggers give up. Off shore blogs will last a bit longer. Pass-word protected, vetted members only forums will last longer still. Pajamahadeen should study the TTP’s of the e-hadis if they expect to keep communicating.

Originally read Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year.

Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free.

I don’t think we’ll see an Obama administration that believes in school vouchers, choice, and the abolition of the Department of Education.

At best, only a marginal number of this demographic would respond and stick with the program. A lazy-ass deadbeat will be a lazy-ass deadbeat, regardless of the color of skin of the President who enjoins all the lazy-ass deadbeats of America to clean up their act.

This is the problem with emotion-driven campaigns. Once the euphoria wears off, as euphoria inevitably does, where does that leave you?

SELF-motivation is the only motivation that sticks. It’s the only motivation that weathers through every condition regardless of external factors. Unless you are able to go through life with your own personal drill sergeant, you had better possess some degree of self-motivation or else find a way to enjoy living on macaroni and cat food.

Real, actual change (as opposed to fancy rhetoric about change) takes place, when it takes place, at the ground level in people’s lives. The ones who make the most impact in our lives are the ones who have a constant presence. A hard-working black father who stays married & faithful to his wife will do far more for his kids’ chances of success than a thousand government programs. A President Obama, inspirational as he may be in the moment, will never make up for the lack of such a father in a kid’s life. (And Obama would be the one to know.)

As a society, we can keep looking for, and spending trillions of dollars on, substitutes for the family. But it’s a futile quest, IMO.
