A Relentless Pursuit of the Left


You’ll note the title doesn’t say “A Steadfast Resistance to…”, or  “A Courageous Stiff Upper Lip Against…”.

Nope, in a winner-take-all, life-and-death struggle for personal liberty, individual human dignity and America, i can find absolutely no profit in us simply holding our ground…especially now that we have lost almost half of it, and the Left still dead set on taking away the rest at every opportunity.

Since I’ve been here at RedState you’ve all known what I want first and foremost; in the words of the Sundance Kid, “I want to fight ‘em.” I’ve spent a year talking about it here. Besides, that what I’m very good at; starting fires, not writing romance novels.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven. (Eccles 3:1)

It’s time.

The most recent case in point; Erick and LaborUnionReport announced on Tuesday a planned march/protest, after dark, at the private home of the man leasing the land to Walmart for their projected (and approved) store in the District of Columbia. That will take place tonight (Thursday). That’s just up the road from me.

I won’t discuss the merits of a Walmart in the District. I won’t argue 1200 new jobs in the area, nor the potential for at least 10%-15% across-the-board lowering of prices by area competitors, for what is known to be some of the nation’s poorest citizens, who always seem to have to pay the highest prices for goods because of where they live. No one is more captive than inner city black folks, under the “benign” protection of corrupt politicians, ACORN neighborhood organizers (or Mr Ten-percent as they were known in Cincinnati), and Marxist labor organizers such as SEIU. You can’t pitch pennies on the street corner there without some crook leasing the sidewalk.

What I will discuss is open lawlessness and thuggery as the new normal among Democrats, their union sponsors (read “handlers”) and the Left.

I don’t know anything about DC laws, but I assume trespass and property damage are illegal and even criminal. I also assume there is no authority granted to the DC government for permitting parades and protests in residential areas where property damage can’t help but occur just because of the confined space. They don’t call downtown and commercial areas “communal areas” for nothing, where people can congregate (permits in hand) with their signs, to snake dance, chant, and convey just about any message they want to convey. But on narrow streets where people live and children play (or sometimes barricade themselves indoors) this is illegal. And yes, criminal. And I hold the police who won’t show up to protect that private property and the city councilmen who whisper in bureaucrats’ ears to issue the permit anyway, equally as criminally culpable for allowing such a thing to occur as the thugs themselves. They are accomplices and will be pursued as such.

The point is, I’m tired of griping and being outraged. This is an activist site, only there isn’t an election for nearly two more years, and while escorting Scott Brown out of office in the primaries next summer will be twice the fun as getting him in, that’s a ways away. I want to see people exposed and “thrown out” every week.

One of our principle jobs here is to keep the troops aware and energized. Being filled up with a daily bowl of outrage helps. But watching them get away with it day after day grates on my soul just as it does yours. So seeing some of these scofflaws on the run, showing their heels, and watching them duck for cover when a crowd shows up on their front lawn is even better food for my soul than any old bowl of porridge salted with indignation. I need a little red meat from time to time. I want to see us win, not just wish it.

So here’s what’s up.

Right after CPAC I’ll be announcing a new website, GreatAmericanZeroes.com, which I’d owned for some years, and which I recently turned over to a group with the ability to do more with it than time and money would allow me. This is just a heads up, so stay tuned.

Hopefully, you’ll go there and support its efforts as I think they need to raise about eight thousand, for it will be part of an integrated planning and organizational nexus for a national effort, revealing the rise of dozens of sites and cells across the country…with one purpose and one purpose only…

…to relentlessly pursue the Left.

The GAZ site will concentrate on voter fraud and intimidation, both at the legislative and street level, but as the protest tonight on the DC residence proves, almost any misconduct by thugs and public officials will be highlighted. Pictures will be taken. Names will be named, and all the things the Left loves telling the world about where you live will be told about them and their accomplices.

While some high profile groups (FreedomWorks, AmericanMajority, AmericansforProsperity, and the Tea Parties) are beginning to network with each other to maximize political action (with, despite what you read, amazingly little vanity and territorial discord), the time is ripe to insinuate ourselves into the internet in a different regard; by organizing a vast, year round, 24/t relentless pursuit of the Left…not in the polling place but on their own turf. I expect new supporters will show up as the year progresses for this kind of time-for-a-reckoning stuff is contagious. We want to start a run on the Left, just like they did on the banks.

I’ve had an planning and operational hand in these sorts of things before in some of the strangest places, but I’m not the most web-savvy guy in the world. So, I’ve been working on this with others since summer trying to draw up a bigger and better team. In my last post I said this:

…(our) power of the internet is limited in this regard. (i.e, how conservatives now use the internet.) The Left has known this for the longest time, and has been using the internet in other regards for years. I’ll speak to that at another time.

That time is now to begin using the internet in those other regards.

We will be going after the Left using their own tools…only better and more efficient, and quite frankly, with more stealth. Nary a fingerprint, in part because we don’t brag and our victories will be measured in how much quieter, and more peaceful it has gotten out there, and not by the noise. But Oh, how the heathen will rage!

Networking with associated groups operating around the country, GAZ will let citizens know about every foot soldier, storm trooper, Wormtongue, and fifth columnist in every small community college, English department, county office building and union local in America, what they look like and their haunts. They will be known by their deeds.

We will have people in the field, at the ready, and as the year goes on those numbers will multiply, for people are tired of just sitting around being pissed of, doing nothing. People will be lining up once they know the game is afoot. And as Alinksy taught, they’ll never break a single law…except maybe in their hearts.

They will photograph, identify and track every Leftist and accomplice who ever carried a megaphone, drove a bus, toted a placard, wielded a lead pipe, turned over a wheel chair, bit off a finger, stuffed a ballot box, intimidated a voter, pushed an election watcher, or issued a permit to invade a man’s private property. Police chief’s and bad cops will have to dress up like dock workers just to get to work. Bureaucrats, professors and school officials will have to take the bus, or drive to the office in ’85 Celicas and students will have to call Mom for more money. Leftie school teachers will leave their jobs to open a Cut n’Curl in their garage. Our groups will be able to put 10-20-100 people at any public place on a few hours notice, sometimes carrying a Bible, and other times, a rolled-up newspaper. Sky determines.

Our people will be using the internet in those “other regards” just like the Left has done for many years, to facilitate pouring a bucket of cold water, having a chilling effect, deterring, intimidating, and yes, relentlessly pursuing the Left…wherever found; in their sewer, in their classroom, in their Volvo, or in their Tudor mansion…all with a cunning and derring-do of heroes of old, from Gideon to the Pimpernel.

We will fight Alinsky with Alinsky, or as I like to call it, V&A.

Yes, you can join up, only many of you already have. But we won’t be enlisting anyone over the internet without local vetting.

Money, money, money

This project won’t be inexpensive, but neither will it be expensive, at least not by Michael Moore bail-money-for-Assange expensive. We know exactly what needs to be done, and what it will take in dollars and cents to kick this can.

I’ll be at CPAC and would like to meet with any conservative donor who might be wondering what to do with his/her annual RNC contribution next year. That’s why I’m announcing this now. You can contact me through thesandsinstitute.org, where I can then send along phone links and contact information while in DC.

I’ll put a up a more concentrated post about re-directing conservative political spending in the week leading up to CPAC, as we have several things we’d like to talk to donors about on a variety of conservative projects. I always carry my begging bowl on behalf of others to these projects, only this time one of those projects will be me.

We can move mountains politically in the next year, but unless we meet the Left in their sewers and begin taking back the main highway by first running them off it, all our political victories will have gone for nil. That’s a law.

The fight starts here.

How did you pick the name "GreatAmericanZeroes"?

usadying (Diary) Thursday, January 20th at 11:49AM EST (link)

It triggers an image of great american bums, or great american japanese planes, or great american new dollar purchasing power, or great american national debt….

As an old adage goes,
There’s no limit to what you can accomplish if you don’t care who gets the credit.

The key to our effectiveness is we don’t need the ego-trip of seeing ourselves interviewed on the evening news, the way the puerile lefties do.

So I see “great American zeroes” as a reminder that we don’t need personal strokes in order to hang in there and git-’r-done!

proudmarinemom (Diary) Thursday, January 20th at 12:01PM EST (link)

I know who is behind this nasty little rally at a private resiendence. I know this person’s home address and I know this person’s family. This person has two lovely children, and for their safety, I will not stoop to publishing this person’s private information here or anywhere else. That doesn’t mean I can’t play the same kind of hardball this person likes to play — it just means I won’t endanger innocents to do it.

What goes around, however, comes around.

paultimmerar (Diary) Thursday, January 20th at 2:07PM EST (link)

Why we as conservatives dont get our own Research team of say 100-130 people, Open an organization that debunks ALL liberal websites, blogs and tv on a daily basis? Why dont out people run commercials in OFF-Campaign cycles? These are things, once we see, as in the last election we get the word out. And people listen, research and make their own conclusions conservatives come out on top EACH time. But we have to be aggresive and continue to debate, fact find, and debunk their lies at every turn. Good start on this, like this article. We have to get conservative big money, on board also.

That's the kink. That's also Part II, next week.

Vassar Bushmills (Diary) Thursday, January 20th at 3:02PM EST (link)

The Right comes by its money differently so spends it differently I’ve been calling for an Action Wing of that 100-130 man research team for a few years. I’m an analyst. That’s what I do. Limbaugh has been calling for one as well the last several months, but has never ponied up a nickle that I know to get anything going.

There are reasons for this, which I’ll explore. I’d just hate for the American tombstone to read “Death by Cheapskates”

I was always wondering when something like this will start. It’s about time. I have always been the type of person for taking action. I am tired of sitting here being outraged, and respectfully silent while idiotic lefties shout, march, and protest.

I am tired of being told I shouldn’t fight back, because we don’t want appear “uncivil” ….

I want to march, shout, and protest. I want those lefties to know that we cannot, and will not be put down. I want to stand up to them, shine the light of truth on them, and watch them scurry like the hydrophobic rats they are…

My thoughts

haumea (Diary) Saturday, January 22nd at 3:08AM EST (link)

Conservatives tend to be strong on logistics and weak on strategy.

Yes, we need a research arm to counter the left. We need human and material resources which we can utilize in the battle. This is unquestionably an important undertaking. I have no doubt this will be a successful endeavor especially if, as has been said, ego is not a significant factor,

But we also need a strategy arm to formulate long-term goals, coordinate the various groups and keep the big picture in everyone’s mind. We need a long-term goal of substantially defeating the left in this country by 2018 in order to restore our republic. We need strategy and integration in pursuit of a common goal of defeating the left, rooting them out of our institution and confining them to the fringe where they richly belong.

I believe the TPM is an opportunity for us to begin to think strategically about our future. The left has utilized a strategy of incrementalism to great success: one by one corrupting our civil institutions until they were a hair away from absolute power. We must now fight back knowing how the left fights. We need to be proactive instead of reactive.

One of the strategic basics is covered in Vassar's article

Beaglescout (Diary) Saturday, January 22nd at 5:37PM EST (link)

Namely that we can’t stay on defense. The prevent defense is just a way to lose slower. It doesn’t win games. Conservatives need to blitz on defense and they need to run the ball sometimes on offense instead of always looking for the perfect 80 yard touchdown pass.

This contest will go on for a long time. At the end I want to know that everyone on our team is worn out, but that the other team is completely worn out, demoralized, and has given up the game forever. We need to win and the other team needs to be so completely beaten they surrender and submit to all our demands.

Are you looking for just the “big donors” only or could the common folk poor people donate as well. Do we have to wait til the website is up and running?

I’m taking donations for the project at thesandsinstitute.org until the site is up in February. I’ll be taking a 3-phase “business plan” that should cover costs for a year. I do have meetings planned.

Hopefully some deeper pockets will fund this and save you the trouble. Let’s see at the end of February, then you cn check the site for where it stands financially.

In my opinion, your initiative could not be more pertinent and could not be more important.

I’ve been constantly in awe of the quality and professionalism of the conservative writers and contributors on RedState and a few other conservative blogs. IMO, conservative writers are desecrating the left with factual integrity and impeccable accuracy.

The problem though is the SIZE of the leftist Soros funded media. The left stream media has zero integrity and absolute zero quality but the juggernaut that they are is overwhelming and needs to be met with an equal juggernaut from the right.

It has been bothering me that a project such as yours has not been initiated sooner. God bless you for doing this. I will be donating to it as generously as I can. I will also recommend donation and support to all groups I am affiliated with, starting with Tea Parties.

Pete - take it up with that David kid.

I get your point, however times a wasten.

The left is ALREADY fabricating AND SELLING that the Tea Parties are fully funded by Oil Companies [NOT.]

I would rather have a LITTLE more out in the open donations from rich conservatives and deal with the backlash. That is the way our election system needs to be shifted back to anyway IMO [away from McAin / Feingold].

It is obviously best if it can be done a “David and Goliath” way and with stealth and I have full faith in Vassar.

It is real painful in the meantime to see the desecrations that the state run media are causing and allowing to this country.

get 35% of people to say that Palin’s map had some effect on that madman in Tuscon. The first time I saw that map was the day after the Tuscon murders, and I am a conservative and a tea partier.

Nothing magical there, earlgrey.

acat (Diary) Monday, January 24th at 12:10PM EST (link)

The human mind is a pattern-matching engine. When it sees what it thinks is a pattern it recognizes, it reacts accordingly.

This is why the newer “digicam” pattern of camoflage works … when the mind sees digicam, it tmatches well enough with the grass or trees or whatever around it that the person wearing camo just .. fades out.

There’s also something like 35% who believe fire can’t melt steel, a double digit percentage who believe the government blew up the NOLA levees, and of course the “birthers” and the mystery surrounding the JFK assasination, the early Birchers, Scientology, etc. etc.

Generally, a loony theory doesn’t stay over 25% for very long, and eventually they fade out. Some take quite a while.

I want to fight the leftists

sbo6220 Monday, January 24th at 1:39PM EST (link)

but I’m finding I don’t know near as much as I thought I did. I love America and the freedom we are supposed to have. I don’t want my children and grandchildren to lose that. I am the daughter of a career Army father and I can’t even hear “Stars and Stripes Forever” without tears running down my face.

But I am finding out things that disturb me more than ever and make me question media people who I thought I could trust. I’m finding it more difficult to determine who is a leftist because they are getting better at hiding it if they are high profile people “working” for the right. Or determining those that are just really out for themselves, or perhaps, have an altruistic outlook, but manipulate people to obtain the results they want for some reason. What’s wrong with the simple truth?

For example, on another posting at Redstate, someone mentioned that Sheppard Smith is a Liberal. I couldn’t tell, thinking he was pretty straight up in his presentation. I never thought Major Garrett could be, but now that he’s left Fox News, I’ve seen or heard things that make me believe he’s also a Lib. Can anyone clear these two up for me?

And the most disappointing of all is Glenn Beck. I love that he has given us so much information and shown us people’s own words, but it seems he either got it wrong (which I find hard to believe with all the researchers he has), or deliberately lied about Wilmington, Ohio and their not taking Government money. There are several places on the Web, where I saw that the people there have done so after all. And (can I trust Politifact or are they a progressive site?) either all the web places are wrong or he is. How can I be sure who’s telling the truth?

I would appreciate a little clarification if any one can help me. Nonetheless, I want to fight the unrelenting attempt to take over our country and turn the population in “zeros” or servants of the state.

You raise serious questions, sbo6220

Vassar Bushmills (Diary) Tuesday, January 25th at 6:50AM EST (link)

Being a forgiving type, I try to distinguish between the hardcore leftist and the careerist who essentially attache himself to any cause to meet personal needs; money, power, status, recognition But come showtime they are all the same, except, as was once said of the militia during the REvWar, some are more apt to leave the field more quickly than others.

I like RR’s axiom, Trust but verify. I’m not the biggest Beck fan either, but one thing he says is so; make yourself the center of things because you are the one thing you’re sure of. Don’t follow so much as ally yourself with others, and trust your better instincts.

And watch how they try to “hang” someone at GAZ with facts and facts only.

GAZ?

A lot of people engage in character assassination.

Whether Smith or Garrit are liberal is neither here nor there. It is possible to be liberal and still report the news strait.

The problem is that in certain main stream media organizations they have created such a climate of one sided opinion, that even if you want to be fair and truthful, you can’t be.

Furthermore, even guys on the right are not always correct. So you need to take everything you see and hear with a grain of salt.

Now I am a cynical, doubting old bastard. And I wish everyone were just like me, because then it would be much harder for government, or scientists, or elites to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes.

I’ll keep my shaker handy. Thanks for the reply. Probably the only thing worse than a cynical, doubting old bastard is a cynical, doubting old bitch. I think I will remain one, especially in this era of our power-grabbing government .
