Patriotic Dissent

Must Read – Wanted: Political Counter-Terrorists

To fight successfully against the rising tide of political terrorism, we conservatives need to cease our predictability. Further, we need to stop providing the tension necessary to float the socialist notions held by the flaccid liberal “leadership.” Responses to the daily Obarrage need to be forceful and deployed with lightning speed. Then we conservatives should move decisively to the real business of the day.

With respect to conservative predictability, our leadership should respond to classic Democrat positions with appropriate reservation, adopting a “non-traditional” counter position that the statists will find very hard to manage. For instance, in the area of taxes we should suggest, with due reluctance, that every last breathing American be held to account for their fair share of: a) bailout costs and b) entitlement spending. This will force our opposition to argue “no tax increases” for their special interest groups. At that point we can fairly ask: “how do you pay for this.”? Get it? Suck them into an ambush by feigning retreat. Then repeat until the pot is at a roiling boil.

In addition to the above, we should champion states rights (which would actually be in direct proportion to the Founder’s sentiments). Single-minded focus on states rights will give conservatives the guidance needed to speak to nearly every domestic issue that the Democrats hold dear, from gun control to education to gay marriage. I suggest we push those problems off the national agenda and force the states to deal with them (particularly since a growing number of states are willing to do so). Thereafter, I would implore conservatives to avoid engaging battles centered on situational ethics: winning is practically impossible and there are bigger fish to fry.

Finally, when asked by the MSM about any proposed policy or legislation, conservatives should respond with an answer that is clearly based on the Constitution. An answer like “We couldn’t find license for (fill-in-the-blank) in the Constitution” would get the conversation turned in an offensive direction. Thereafter, referencing the applicable Articles would provide a secure foothold for driving home the point. Frankly, it would be nice to see politicians speaking as if they actually knew the Constitution while concurrently acknowledging the prohibitions installed therein.

Read it all, for it is excellent.
