The Rightosphere Copes With Defeat…

Because conservatives have a deep distrust of polling agencies, they often tend to simply disregard unpleasant poll numbers. This often causes a lot of conservatives to get the wrong idea about what’s going to happen in an election — and……

Actually I would love to see Huckabee on a 2012 ticket with either, but would be thrilled with a Palin/Jindal ticket.

But, it is waaaaaaay too early to speculate on that.

What has happened to Philly? When Rizzo was mayor his cops would have beat the shit out of the thugs with the billyclubs. Their trip to jail would have been by way of the emergency room. He may have been a corrupt democrat but he wouldn’t have put up with idiots like these two.

This will not close the chapter on racism. On the contrary, anybody that opposes Obama will be labeled a racist. Racial tensions will increase.

I think the one thing many people are overlooking is that you’re all assuming that the left will adhere to the same principles as the conservatives. History shows that the left plays for keeps and fights like it’s a war. The right, for some odd reason, keeps thinking that elections are just that. “No big deal, we’ll get them next election.” Sorry, but I don’t see it that way.

I don’t congradulate Obama on his victory (I accept it as inevitable, which is not the same thing). The people willingly voted for a guy who essentially pulled the wool over their eyes (with a huge assist from the media). Granted, the Republicans also had a big assist by acting stupidly for eight years. As far as I’m concerned, the people who voted for him can go screw themselves when things go bad (and I can assure you, they will).

This election win was a total vindication for leftist principles spanning back to the baby boomers. Obama’s victory was their victory. It was the culmination of 40+ years struggle to remake the country into the leftist image that they desire. Look around and you will see the inroads that they have made into this country. While the conservatives worried about electoral results, the left patiently and methodically took over the schools, the media and the Democratic Party. They now have the dominant views in all three of these categories.

The left has brainwashed Generation Y into their ideology (I see it every day when I’m at work on campus) and they are doing the same to the other generations coming up through the school system. That’s one hell of a steep hole we need to dig ourselves out of. The conservatives have to start thinking as long term as the left did after the 60′s. There needs to be a blueprint to retake, well, everything. Simply “fighting” the good fight will not do the trick.

President Obama (get used to it) made far too many promises during his campaign to be able to keep them all. It must be the mission of the loyal opposition to make sure that he and the Democrat congress get blamed for failing to do so. When his vague, ridiculous, Oprah-like psychobabble ideas come a cropper, we must make sure that the right story gets told about them. Additionally, every biographical gap, every bad associate, and every questionable former activity that was intentionally overlooked, ignored, and/or swept under the rug by the MSM during the campaign must now be relentlessly tracked down and exposed to the light of day. It’s only fair – and it’s a job our side of the blogosphere is uniquely qualified to do.

So, we have a lot to do, and it will take the kind of enthusiasm we all felt when John picked Sarah to succeed. On the bright side, history shows that we are good at being in the loyal opposition. It’s a good thing, too, for I believe that only patriotic, intelligent, working-from-the-inside efforts to change the hearts and minds of our fellow Americans can now save our country from ultimate ruin.

Remember folks. This is an opportunity. We’ve had 8 years of lessons on how to snipe and complain. Now we can sit back and do the same thing.
Most importantly: next election is in 2 years. Time to take the break to rebuild on solid foundations.

He quite before even 20% of the vote was counted. Loser.

You don’t really think that this will be the end of the left wing of the Republican party? The party took the wrong lesson from the last election two years ago and they will take the wrong lesson from this one too. ’twas ever thus-at least in my voting lifetime.
