There simply are no words to describe the damage inflicted yesterday by Democrats upon America, her citizens, and the millions around the globe who look to America for hope – as the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Make no mistake about it – what happened yesterday was not brave, it was cowardly. It was not the best of America, it was the worst. And – at least with respect to the vote itself – it was not Republicans, it was Democrats. President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and every other Democrat who sold his soul for 30 shekels of silver ignored the clear will of the American people. It was brazen. It was arrogant. And, it was a thumb in the eye of democracy, liberty, and most of all, the American people.
But rest easy. For now you know your enemies. And they stand before you.
For too many years, America has been attacked quietly – the serpent waiting patiently for his prey, striking only periodically. Starting primarily with the New Deal, incremental socialism as President Reagan famously observed, has been slowly eating away at the great American fabric of individual self-reliance, personal responsibility and limited government… Government program by government program, inch-by-inch, career politician-by-career politician… Democrat AND Republican. For decades, you have been losing your God-given and hard-fought birthright of freedom as surely as the vote that slapped you in the face yesterday.
But now… now, you know. Your enemy is clear. And the enemy has made clear their intentions – and that is the complete re-making of America.
Your enemy now is any Democrat – for it is a Party blinded by false notions of compassion, willing to trade liberty for self promotion and so devoid of a soul that innocent life is but a trivial instrument to barter. It is a Party lacking character and it is a Party that simply does not believe in the America of our founding.
But your enemy also is any Republican who is complicit in expanding government at the expense of liberty… Any Republican who would join hands with evil and continue to walk the road of denial, telling you he is fighting for America while he negotiates away her very foundation… And, specifically, any Republican who will not state clearly and succinctly that he will fight each and every day to repeal, de-fund, and otherwise eviscerate the healthcare bill.
And your enemy is the bill itself. For, if we do not repeal this bill, we will have nothing left. We will have forsaken all those who have bled to hand down to us this, the greatest nation the world has ever known – and we will have made a mockery of God’s blessing on this nation.
The time has come to say, “no more.” Not my country. Not on my watch. I will not stand by and let my nation be sold into the chains of tyranny in the false name of compassion. The opening words of the Declaration of Independence were nothing short of magnificent – charting a new course for humanity and laying the foundation for a new world. But, the actual force of the document were not the first words – rather they were the last:
“And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.”
What will we do?

One side believes it best done by one composition of the governing powers; the other, by a different one. One fears most the ignorance of the people; the other, the selfishness of rulers independent of them. Which is right, time and experience will prove.”.Thomas Jefferson

newyorknewyork Monday, March 22nd at 9:33AM EST (link)35% of Americans self-identify as democrats. So 1/3 of this country are now “enemies”?? Listen, I empathize with conservative ideals and was leaning toward maybe for the first time in my life voting GOP, one of the reasons I started reading this site. But, since I started reading, it has all been enemy this, evil-that, lets not pay taxes. To call the entire other political party and anyone who associates with them(and not just one person, but ANY democrat) your “enemy”?? Al-qaeda is our enemy, democrats are not. If you really want the good of the party, talk like this must stop.
And how is opposition to health care the ‘clear will’ of the people? Pollster has opposition to the senate bill at 49%. So support or no opinion is the majority of the people. Opposition the bill was not the clear will of the people.
If I vote republican it will be because of ideas on how to bring jobs and fix the economy. But really, all this talk about enemies and revolutions and ‘evil’ness of all democrats and ignoring the ‘will’ of the people will not help anybody come november.

Democrats Are Not Even Close
hogan (Diary) Monday, March 22nd at 9:45AM EST (link)Democrats are not even close to the America I wish to pass down to my son – and the party line vote of yesterday, passed with little consideration for the overwhelming evidence that the American people do not want it shows how brazen they are… polls were more clear than you indicate, the Scott Brown victory in Massachusetts tells you all you need to know, especially on the heals of Virginia and New Jersey. But in the end, all that matters to me is that they assaulted my family yesterday – they made my family less secure.
I chose the words intentionally. They are my enemy until they indicate otherwise. And individuals have a choice – side with the enemy or don’t. But if you put a D behind your name in 2010, you are not on my team. Period.

To me these words mean more now than ever. I have tried to put myself in the place of these men and understand what they were faced with so many years ago. They had so much less to work with than we do now! The founders of this nation knew that they were actually putting their lives on the line for the sake of freedom. Do we undertake any less of a commitment to continue the fight that they started? And we do not have to take up arms to accomplish our goals as our forefathers did. They have given us the means to take back and recover what has been lost: the ballot box.
Be determined. Do not quiver. Never surrender.

michigan Monday, March 22nd at 9:49AM EST (link)There are NO Democrats. They are Progressive Socialists and must be called such. Let them call themselves whatever they choose. The time for statesmanship and decorum has passed with the Health Care Bill. I really don’t want to hear the term “my friend on the other side”, come out of any Republican’s mouth. Start accurately identifying the enemy of America. It only wastes time and diverts needed energies from the goal of regaining liberty to not.
They are Fabian Socialists
NoDoze Tuesday, March 23rd at 10:45AM EST (link)A RedState poster gave us a good introduction to the Fabian Socialist movement, and I did a search on the Fabian Society. This information helps me to have a clearer understanding of the enemies of Capitalism in America, and the whole world. I had thought that our current Socialists were of the Marxist variety, but now I think that they are more Fabian Socialist. It may seem like a small difference whether they are Marxist or Fabian, however, we will understand them more accurately, and be better able to defeat them if we have a clear understanding of their purposes and methods.
Look up the Fabian Society, and The London School of Economics (their main training source) and you will be surprised at the partial list of famous American and world leaders who were educated there. Their least illustrious student may have been Monica Lewinski.

I have watched the gradual socialization of our country, with the attending loss of freedoms and individual responsibility for the past 50+ years. I was born in 1933, and have lived through the period when much of this corruption has advanced in America. I have tried to understand what is happening, and how I can make a difference for the better, and understanding who is pushing an agenda, and the methods they are using helps me a little.
They control the dialouge
MidwayUSA (Diary) Monday, March 22nd at 9:53AM EST (link)Know your enemy is a great line. What to do about your enemy is a different problem. I think for our survival we have to admit that they control the discussion and the debate. Until we come to this realization, and find a way to counter their arguments, the status quo will persist. We only made it so far on the health care debate, but not far enough. It shows that we are beginning to make some progress on the rhetoric front, but not enough.
They control neither.
Moe Lane (Diary) Monday, March 22nd at 10:01AM EST (link)If they did, they would not have had to break their own caucus members’ arms to pass this bill. No group secure in their ability to drive the debate would have even considered Demon Pass; the Democrats only abandoned it when they realized that it was doing more harm than good with the populace.
What they control is the legislative and executive branches of the federal government; the first can be fixed in 2010 and we’ll worry about the second after we’re done with the first. We don’t need to counter their arguments: we had the argument last year, and we won it on the merits and in the court of public opinion. They just refuse to admit it. So we get to take away Congress in November.
Don’t worry. It’ll be fun.

Contact Your Local Conservative Media
kipling (Diary) Monday, March 22nd at 10:11AM EST (link)I encourage everyone who visited Washington D.C. over the weekend to contact their local conservative media outlets and to do the same. We need to spread the word about how our elected representatives turned a deaf ear to the will of the American people. We need to expose their arrogance and shame them before the world.
I attended the D.C. rallies on Saturday and then went over to visit my congressman. Afterward I wrote a little piece about the encounter in which I detailed the hostility of the staff and their response to my questions about the bill. I then sent it to my local conservative radio host who invited me on the air for a phone interview. If you are interested you can read about my encounter at http://jhpruitt.blogtownhall.com/. We should all take to the airwave and to print to out these bums as petty dictators.
So now the real work begins:
tennreps (Diary) Monday, March 22nd at 10:17AM EST (link)1. We must all work towards conservative majorities in all State legislatures.
That will help us define our congressional districts. It will also allow for the possibility of promoting a constitutional amendment as was done for the repeal of prohibition.
2. We must be vigilant in our quest to discern who real conservatives are. Then we must support them with our efforts and money.
3.Our motto is and should continue to be: “Repeal” Just like Erick said.
No fix.
4. We should and really must have a consolidated effort among those of us who follow politics to get the word out. It needs to be easy for the casually political person to get info regarding our movement towards more conservative candidates. I am not computer savy enough to do this, but there are a lot of people who are.
5. We must be willing to put time, energy and money into our local Republican party. This is our base of operation and we need to work from within it.
Just this weekend my husband and I were at a rally at Legislative Plaza in Nashville. A candidate came up to us and was asking for our support. We began to quiz him. He claimed to be “the Tea Party candidate”. Of course we asked him whether he thought he might split the vote, at which time he began to sputter a little, He was very fishy. Might the dems support supposed tea party candidates just to split our vote?. That man was wicked!
Democrats last election interjected third party candidates in several elections just to take votes away from our Republican candidates. I can think of two just off the top of my head: Saxby Chambliss in Ga and Franken’s Senate race.,
So, I guess to summarize. We all need to get off our duff and make a difference. It is not like “The Little Engine that Could” He just thought he could. We can!

The answer to what we will do....
jeffersonairplane (Diary) Monday, March 22nd at 10:20AM EST (link)Armageddon. There is always an outcome of a battle between good and evil. This battle is between those who believe in the ideology of our founding nation, namely liberty, freedom and self-reliance and the ideology of progressivism, marxism, fascism and big centralized governments.
The answer to to the takeover of private companies…banks, GM, and all other untold Fed bailouts is to remove the source of power from the federal government. I’m not suggesting that voting these politicians out of office will solve anything. Most become corrupted.
All this anti big government energy needs to be focused upon our states. Our country was set up with the balance of power residing with the states. Since the federal income tax was created our states have become very weak. States don’t even have a representative they appoint anymore now that senators are popularly elected.
States that create healthy environments for success in business with low taxes and regulations are penalized by having to share any potential tax revenue with other states via federal corporate and personal income tax redistrubution. It removes income and wealth from the states. Some of it is redistributed elsewhere and some of it given back to states dictating what they must do with it. How much longer is this foolishness going to go on?
The states could end all of this by eliminating the federal governments source of power, the income tax. This would restore the balance of power to the states where people can control much better all things locally.
That is the answer. Governors get it together.

benson1 Monday, March 22nd at 11:58AM EST (link)Without the IRS the government becomes powerless to tax us for their pet projects. The states regain the monies needed without going through the federal government. Check out the Fair tax website it explains clearly what the fair tax is all about. Beware the government trying to implement both a fair tax and income tax. That is my biggest fear about the Fair tax. The IRS needs to be disbanded totally and forbidden to be re-instituted by law only then would a fair tax be the answer.

There may still be those who are fooled into believing the Democratic Party is the same as it was years ago, especially on a local level, but that’s no longer an excuse. While I have more forgiveness for those idealistic youth who haven’t been in the real world long enough to suffer the consequences of liberalism, I no longer have any respect for most family members, friends (especialy those at church) or co-workers that I know align themselves with the Democratic Party and I am finding it difficult to maintain a relationship with them. I fear I can do so only so long as I believe they are open to honest debate, giving me a chance to convert them to conservatism. I do still pray for my enemies, but it’s getting harder every day.

Liberals Are The Enemy, Not Democrats
Swamp_Yankee (Diary) Tuesday, March 23rd at 6:46PM EST (link)Part of the task at hand is expanding our ranks and some of that includes welcoming disgruntled Democrats. There is no expansion with GOP alone. A more amped up GOP doesnt add votes. Its tougher to seduce, convince and attract people when your throwing bombs at them. Tell people they are the enemy, they suck and they better Republican from now on doesnt work too good.
You need enemies and targets. You can target liberals because they will never come over and they are the real problem. Rank and file Dems are sheep. You can target specific Dems because people hate them, even Dems, and they too are the problem.
But it is simple math. In order to win large majorities, we need people who voted for Obama and Clinton to vote for us. Cast a net too big with aspersions and it just intensifies that irratiional sense of rivalry. We cant be their boogyman. They want to come over; we must welcome them, educate them and let bygones be bygones. And look forward and move forward.

Of course I would want democrats to VOTE for
conservatives…..
Most working democrats will be able to identify
with conservative values over communist values.
At least I HOPE they can CHANGE!!!!
The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
Don't target just the "D" label...
rbdwiggins (Diary) Tuesday, March 23rd at 8:19PM EST (link)Our beef is not with rank and file Democrats. Many, if not most, are products of failed government schools. For most of their lives, they’ve been subjected to a constant barrage of falsehoods and lies, and what passes for education is actually targeted indoctrination. Their Party left them long ago, but most are just beginning to take notice. Their epiphany will take time, and it will only come about through education, life-experiences and viable alternatives.
We must identify the real enemy. They are statist: Liberal/Progressive Marxist Radicals.
To varying degrees, the Republican Party is not immune from their influence, but the Progressives seek total control of the Democrat Party, and of equal importance, control of the federal bureaucracy.
Give them no quarter, nor place to hide: Liberal = Progressive = Statist
“Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.” – Ronald Reagan
Replace. Repeal. Reform. 2010. 2012.
fortcollins (Diary) Tuesday, March 23rd at 9:08PM EST (link)Step 1: Replace every Democrat. Every single one, in every office from the White House to the very bottom of the local ticket. Little Democrats grow up to become big Democrats, but repeatedly defeated Democrats don’t. Even the “good” Democrats vote for their party’s socialist leadership. Obamacare exposed the myth of the pro-life Democrat. Commit that we will never, ever again subscribe to that myth, regardless of the warm smile and twinkle in the eye of any Democratic candidate.
Step 2: Repeal Obamacare. Every single word of it. No compromises and no “nibbling” at it. Keep repealing the bill every month until a new President is sworn in on January 20, 2013 and signs the repeal.
Step 3: Reform the House of Representatives IMMEDIATELY when the new Congress convenes. (Reforming the Senate is much harder, but the House can force the Senate to follow its lead.)
(1) Abolish earmarks in House bills and commit to strip them from Senate bills. Issue a binding instruction for House conferees to reject all earmarks.
(2) Limit bills to one topic, with titles accurately reflecting content. Insert a clause in every bill prohibiting executive branch rulemaking related to the bill. Insert a clause in every bill clarifying both legislative intent and judicial interpretation of the bill.
(3) Mandate that amendments be germane to the bill and commit to strip all non-germane riders from Senate bills. Issue a binding instruction for House conferees to reject any non-germane provision or amendment.
(4) Abolish the seniority system. Appoint committee and subcommittee chairs who have character, knowledge, and ability. Elect and select people to leadership positions who will show the backbone needed to stand for the truth.
(5) Open all committees, subcommittees, conference committees, negotiating sessions and caucuses to the press, except for matters directly affecting national security.
(6) Require the full text of all bills to be made public at least 10 business days before any vote on the bill, and the full text of all amendments to be made public at least 5 business days before any vote on the amendment.
(7) Abolish all parliamentary gimmicks that conceal votes.
(8) Commit to a FULLY balanced budget: the sum of all revenues must be greater than or equal to the sum of all expenditures, including interest on the national debt, entitlements, and discretionary spending. Commit to full repayment of the national debt, setting aside at least 10% of annual revenues solely for repayment of the principal of the debt.
(9) Refuse to pass continuing resolutions for departments other than Defense, Homeland Security, and Veteran’s Affairs. Refuse to raise the debt ceiling. If (when) the President vetoes a fully balanced budget, let the rest of the government shut down. That government which governs least governs best, and that government which governs not at all is better than a socialist dictatorship.
(10) Respect the Tenth Amendment. Commit that no regulatory bill will be passed solely on the basis of the spending clause.
(11) Schedule the House to be in recess the first full week of every other month, with members instructed to use that time to return to their districts to listen to their constituents at town hall meetings.
(12) Publicly commit that the People’s House will always listen to and serve the people, and live up to that commitment every single day.
