The fight to liberate the blacks from the liberal plantation has to be led by a black man. That may not make sense in the abstract, but it is a practical requirement. The problem with rooting this effort in the Republican party is that the Liberals have consistently and relentlessly branded it the Party of the White Man and have suppressed and sanitized the history of the Democratic Party to make it out to be the Party of the Black Man.
But for the first time in many decades the labels “Republican” and “Democrat” are no longer determinative. Newer descriptors are emerging and that presents an opportunity for blacks which the liberals are sure to fear. It should have escaped no one that the liberals are trying to tar the Tea Parties with the same brush they’ve used on the Republicans, branding it the Party of the Racist White Man. What is less obvious is how this is less aimed at whites than blacks. It serves the purpose of denying to black dissidents the use of the Tea Parties to fight free of the plantation. By making the anti-statist movement a no-go area for any self-respecting black man they are essentially shutting the door to escapees.
The key to defeating that liberal counterstrategy is the l’offensive à outrance — advance to the limit — because momentum is the insurgent’s best friend. In this case it means you cannot punch to 2010. You must punch through 2010. Although the tax revolt idea must find a resting shelf in the elections of 2010; although it must find expression in politics and due to circumstances, Republican politics, the idea of the revolt against the elites cannot be confined to electoral politics. It’s got to go viral.
One way to tell whether virality has been achieved is if democrats and blacks starting creating their own versions of the revolt. They will look strange and even perverted. But once the memetic infection has crossed the boundary then the status quo can be said to be in real trouble. In the months that follow the non-partisan components of the fight against the plantation may take on an increasing importance. Where it will end, who can say? But the situation is good in this way: the liberal task is to get things back under control. The conservative goal is ask questions and open up all the dark rooms of the public policy opera house.
