Please hold out against Zelaya as best you can. Help is on the way. Constitutional government will be back in fashion soon, and that claque of tinpot statists cheering for Zelaya will soon be oh so ’00′s.

Hugo…..Hey Hugo!!!! Yeah you, unless you want the 1st Marine Division kickin your sorry ass I would suggest you take this advise.
1). Pour you a nice big cup of Shut the hell up. Make one comment that even suggest a threat to this country and you’ll get to exerience first hand “shell shock”.
2). Keep your nose and anyone one that you know that has one out of Honduras. Make one move other than celebrating the Democracy there and we will create a 2 mile open field of fire on your borders.
3). Rig one more election in your country and we will force Pelosi, Ried and Franken into exile there.

Got that???

Seriously, I’d like to point out one possible drawback to posts like this: they will inflame the other side by touching their pride.

If I were Kos, or Joshua Michael Marshall, I’d cut and paste “net gain 80″ and use it as a rallying cry for my side. It could be the Nutroots’ version of “Remember the Alamo.”

While many of the Nutroots are dispirited & disillusioned with Obama for one reason for another, they still have a living, breathing hatred for us. I suspect that many of them can be motivated to activism again—especially the monetary kind—if they think that the GOP is poised for a big victory.

They may be down on The One, but I’ll bet than many will pony up lots of bucks to keep conservatives away from the levers of power. I’ll bet that Rahm and Axelrod and Kos and Marshall and Chris Matthews will think the same thing.

Let’s not give them something to rally their dispirited troops. If y’all are hearing things in Atlanta that lead you to think that 2010 could be big for the GOP, then that’s wonderful.

But let’s not give the Nutroots any reason to stand-to.

Bebe Netanyahu and Israel, we’ll back you ever step.

Unlike the majority of Jewish-American voters, who apparently value liberalism and the Democratic Party more than Israel’s survival.

And let’s start campaigning, starting with our family, friends and neighbors.

pragmatism is better.

Yes, the “storm surge” that put Obama in office is receding rapidly, but that doesn’t change the fundamental problems.

Generations, now, have no pocking idea what conservatism really means. What do we expect, the public having been told that every religious-loony is a “conservative”, every moderate repub who boinked someone not his spouse is a “conservative”…. I could go on, and all y’all know it…

What is going to change this? Redstate.com? I think not, although conservative-slanted web sites may well be the true “green shoots” we’ve heard so much about.

Let me know when the main sewer media mavens and education bureaucrats are standing in bread lines. Until then, this is at best a rearguard action.

Thank you for that uplifting post! The only upside of Obamania is that it will end, and when it does, it shall be a beautiful day.

I’m always looking for reasons to be optimistic, and this post certainly helps.

The realist in me, however, knows that the Democrats won’t just go away quietly into the night. They’ve already demonstrated that they have a propensity to play very dirty politics (ACORN voter fraud, stealing elections, intimidation, accusing opponents of doing what THEY – the Democrats – actually do, etc); and the state-run media is right there to back them up (and prop them up when necessary).

I think we should aim high (i.e. a veto-proof majority in congress – wouldn’t that be nice?) and then hope for the best when the voters go to the polls in 2010. Above all else – pray for the country.

I do think many whites who voted for Obama to somehow cleanse themselves of the whole racial stigma thing are now – at least in their minds – duly cleansed, and will not vote for him again (hopefully this time for more substantive reasons – like the very survival of our country, for example). I also think many independents who voted for him the first time around are waking up, so the future does indeed look bright in this regard.

Let us therefore keep up our enthusiasm, and keep up our guard as well. The Democrats will certainly get nasty, but I think the 2010 elections are still the Republicans’ to lose. They just need to get out there and give the voters something to vote FOR. Reagan 1980 and Congress 1994 are the templates.

The Democrats can certainly be beaten, but the GOP needs to engage them in battle for the hearts in minds of the voters. Here’s hoping they do so.

I want to be the new Secretary of Offense.

I have been absolutely giddy watching Obama step in every wrong direction he could over the past 2 weeks and watching democrats balk against other democrats and watch tea parties beat the stage show in volume, BUT these guys aren’t going to give up so easily and will break every rule they can and some they can’t.

This year, you have to hold the line; next year the GOP will have to have a plan with details. In 2011 we can rest, but it’s the least we can do for the baddest little country ever created.

Fredheadedness Rules

Terrific, uplifting diary. This made me feel warm and cozy all over. With this kind of attitude and battle rediness, we can surge ahead no matter what the idiot Dems do. Stage 1 is already drawn for the new incoming majorities in the Congress, repeal as much as possible, as fast as possible in the first 100 days of the 112th Congress.

the Evil Party and the Stupid Party…

…I agree with you that we can count the days until the Evil Party sees its Waterloo at the ballot box — the big question in my mind is will the Stupid Party learn enough from the experience to DO something with their coming victory — or will it simply remain Stupid?

BHO in his book admits, “I chose my friends carefully.” Those friends? included “marxist professors…” (Glenn Beck). It is fair to assume those friends also included Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright. Also Van Jones, BHO’s Green Czar is an avowed communist. Van Jones heads BHO’s Apollo program which combines Acorn, environmental reform, and organized labor for the reform of our industry. BHO quoted that his reforms “will by necessity cause electricity rates to skyrocket.” (Glenn Beck). Cap and Trade folks.

Make no mistake BHO our president, is a radical. A marxist one at that. This needs to be our motivation for 2010 and beyond.

As conservatives re-assert themselves and their core, constitutional- oriented principles, it’s imperative that the Lindsey Grahams on the right get the message.
No more preening.
No more self-indulgence.
No more reaching across the aisle to the viper pit. The obamanites have illustrated perfectly well that they intend to bring this country to its knees.

So I say, lead, follow, or get the goddam hell out of the way!

You are making me very happy with this post! I am saying a prayer that it happens, we should be proud of our country, not apologize for it.

I am waiting to hear, from Ed Markey’s office of a public event. I get email for districts in the US, but never see Markey having one. I think he’s gotten afraid to have one. I will keep calling his office.

I’ll settle for a majority in either house of the Congress so we can play defense until we get the grinning ninnny out of the White House and start to rebuild America by tearing down the federal government.

Conservatives are, if anything, pragmatic patriots. We have a lot of work ahead of us, and just as it was in Boston harbor two centuries ago it all started with a tea party!

Reality will hopefully begin to set in as their destructive hides slither back over the recess. I say attend every town hall, every single fireman’s breakfast, every event they attend- without exception. Let them know the same forces that brought about our country and the Constitution to which they OWE and PLEDGED their loyalty still live. Politely and courteously, give them the name of a good headhunter, lobbying firm or local Burger King- I don’t care. They will need it.

Then find someone locally you can support in the next election; someone who will pledge their fidelity to the Constitution and the people they are suppose to serve. Give them your support in time or money- whatever you can give of yourself. WE will take back our country from the diabolical forces that seek to usurp it.

No more will we stand for bank takeovers, auto takeovers, healthcare takeovers, trillion dollar deficits, kneeling to terrorists, playing footsie with our enemies and the assault on our liberty- no more.

on the slow death spiral of the statist agenda.

Assuming we dodge this bullet — which is very far from being a sure thing yet — maybe we should be worrying about how not to fall into this situation a third time. It won’t do any good to win back control of government if we keep electing politicians who have the political savvy of toadstools. Otherwise, after 2, 4 or 8 years, we’ll be right back in the same mess, and we may not be able to avert total disaster next time. So maybe, to keep that from happening, we should look for leaders who have the following qualities:

1. They dislike Democrats. Not hate, but dislike Democrats quite a bit. This might keep them from wanting to “reach out” first, enact good public policy second.

2. They are able, and willing, to articulate and defend their point of view and their actions. Doing the right thing isn’t of much value if you stand there like a deer in the headlights when the Democrats and media trash you and your actions.

3. They look at bipartisanship as an occasional, more likely very unusual, means of enacting public policy, not a means in and of itself. Point 1 will go a long way to ensuring this.

4. They feel free to challenge reporters — to their faces — when they misrepresent their views and their policies. Also, they feel free to alert the American people to the fact that media has a far-left bias, and a far-left agenda.

Good policy is only sustainable with good politics to go along with it. We need leaders who can grasp that fact.

It will help us target our local efforts.

a thrill up my spine.

In a good way, of course. I’ve not dared to dream we’d ever see the end of the nightmare.
