#129 Mongoose:
Is there a decent Democrat left?

There may be a few left, but we are awful close to having to set up a captive breeding program to prevent their extinction. It is already too late for the now mythical “conservative Democrat” which has been gone for at least a generation. A new sub-species of genetically pure Leftist called the “Yellow Dog” has evolved to mimic the extinct species and take over its ecological niche. The primary stressors on the continued survival of “decent Democrats” are … other Democrats higher up the food chain who corrupt any decent and patriotic impulses they might have into support for a totalitarian state; where all aspects of thought, economics, political expression, and society [with the exception of sex (for now)] are controlled by the elites. The outlook for their survival is dismal.

They are brothers under the skin. They share the same electoral methods. He could do no other, given his plans for the future.

The GOP may prove useful as a check on the current administration, but they aren’t the long term solution. Power is rarely ceded voluntarily. I’m not sure there is a solution on the horizon – it’ll have to appear when it’s needed (if our luck holds out). Maybe the Tea Parties, etc, are the beginning – who knows?

Exactly. They may pick up seats [if there are real elections in 2010] but they can at most slow things down. Given that their basic interests are with the elites and that they literally hate and fear any expression of grass roots feeling; they are a weak reed indeed. The situation must evolve as it will, based on the best efforts of Patriots. There is no guarantee of the survival of Liberty. Just the bedrock belief: “If there must be trouble, let it come now, so that our children might live in peace.”.

Good recommendations and helpful. You can find “UNRESTRICTED WARFARE” at:

http://www.terrorism.com/documents/TRC-Analysis/unrestricted.pdf

and it is available in hard copy. I note for other BC-er’s that this text is required reading for all Peoples Liberation Army officers and officer candidates, and those who aspire to higher levels. It is officially accepted as a necessary bit of knowledge for dealing with what they consider their most probable enemy, the US. There are a number of texts along this line that might be helpful, including those by Swiss Maj. von Dach, various technical manuals issued by the armed forces, most especially that one authored by a gentleman named Petraeaus, and to study the mechanics of a coup d’ etat from both sides, there is Edward Luttwak’s classic, “Coup d’ Etat”. If you can get around the sociology, Robert A. Heinlein’s “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” has some interesting points about insurgency in a closed system, with the help of computers. No, we do not have a Mycroft. But many of the functions can be done via distributed nodes. If supercomputing capability is needed, it is possible to fabricate such using off the shelf items, acquired without attracting attention. Indeed from garage sales. I reference the BEOWULF PROJECT.

fairly self explanatory, an accurate formulation of the Cold Civil War, and guaranteed to make Leftist heads explode in rage!

Absolutely. A brilliant idea. Anyone here involved in the Tea Parties and in Oathkeepers should put forth the idea to their chapters that one of the big projects for them in 2010 might be a county by county effort to go through the voting rolls [they close before the election, if such should happen] to verify the people registered exist. This is something where we can use their Alinsky rules against them. “RULE 4: ‘Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.’”. Force them to either go with provisional ballots for those bogus ones found [and a lot will be simply those who are dead or moved, but finding them means ACORN cannot vote them] or publicly admit that the election is fraudulent. Hit their legitimacy.
