The Rules Have Changed

The leftists have been making the rules for longer than you might imagine. They've dominated academia for the last 50 or more years. The mainstream media and the left have been one and the same for all of my 56 years. The leftists convinced the world that Joe McCarthy was delusional and they've pretty well convinced moderate republicans that the world no longer will tolerate partisanship and we just need to all get along (read, agree with them.)

Welcome to the brave new world wherein Saul Alinsky Has Taken the White House.

If you're not listening to Talk Radio you may have missed the above linked piece, but it's important because unless you're watching carefully you may not be aware of what has happened and what will be happening when Obama is inaugurated President of the United States.

We've never had a radical leftist in the White House before and things are about to change; but then you can't say we weren't warned.

Here are a few salient paragraphs from the Spectator:

Too many conservatives think we've seen all this before -- in 1964 and 1974 and 1992 -- and that we know how to handle it. Fly, meet ointment: We're not dealing with the same sorts of opponents. These New Alinskyites who are taking over the White House, combined with the most leftist congressional leadership in memory, will not let us play by the same rules under which conservatives recovered from those earlier debacles. They will try to drastically tilt the playing field, seed our side of the field with land mines and, in short, rig the process to make it next to impossible for the political right, or Republicans, to recover. And they are likely to succeed in at least some of these designs.

It will begin with their efforts to secure a filibuster-proof majority of 60 senators (including the two independents). Right now the libs (and yes, all the Democratic senators, with the possible exception of Nebraska's Ben Nelson, are libs) have 56, with three Republican moderates and one conservative leading their races but awaiting recounts or runoffs. Watch for the Alinskyites to try stealing all four, and to succeed in at least two. We've seen this game before. They did it in Indiana's "Bloody Eighth" congressional district in 1984. They almost succeeded in 2000 in Florida. They did succeed, outrageously so, in the Washington State governor's race in 2004. Those are just the most obvious of many similar examples. And now they are even more ruthless, more lawyered-up, and in a more powerful position to pull it off than they were in any of those instances.

You need to read the entire piece. The rules have indeed changed and republicans, nice guys that they are, have never been up for the ruthless battles required to defeat the unethical and uncompromising left.

So, now what?
