Know Your Enemy

I have taken some time off from writing to clear my head. I went back over some of my posts from the last few weeks and noticed that I had been saying the same thing over and over again. I’m trying to move on here, but the ongoing theme of this blog will always be liberty and personal freedom.

"Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster." –Sun Tsu, The Art of War

The socialists in our government are the enemy. We all know that, but there is now a new threat we have to our liberty. Isle Crossers! Three RINO Republicans crossed the isle on this stimulus bill. They are now the enemy.

This bill will fail. I know it passed the House and Senate and Obama will sign it, but what they are trying to do will fail. It will not help the American people. It was set up to have minor success in two years. The small portion of the bill that will actually create jobs will not really go into effect until 2010. How coincidental, that happens to be our next election year! Imagine that. When it is all said and done, this bill will fail miserably. We will see nothing but inflation and taxation as a result. It will permanently expand our government and get more and more people hooked on the crack rock that is government assistance. This may be the opening volley of a massive plan to expand the government’s reach into the private sector and steal what little freedom we have left. So I want to make sure that everyone knows why this happened, and exactly who it was that crossed the isle to enable it.

THIS IS THE FACE OF THE NEW ENEMY

I will be keeping a running tally of all future activity like this on my blog. When the 2010 elections roll around, I plan to compile a combined list of everyone who enabled the socialists in the 2009-2010 period, and post it right here for everyone to see. I will link back to all prior articles so you can read what I had to say at the time it happened. Expect John McCain to join this list real soon!

USING THEIR OWN TACTICS AGAINST THEM

"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under
the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist
program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without
knowing how it happened." –Norman Thomas (Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party of America in 1948)


The one positive thing that could come out of this mess in Washington is the great opportunity that Constitutionalists and Libertarians have to infiltrate the Republican Party and bring it back to its conservative roots. Ron Paul has done a wonderful job of it thus far, but he is one voice alone. Libertarians and Constitutionalists alone have no power, but under the guise of the Republican Party they could be accepted with open arms and have a chance to affect real change.

I think we have a chance in this next election cycle to move the Republican Party back to its principles of limited government and low taxes. Yes, I am thinking that far ahead. Now is the time to regroup, reorganize, and prepare for our all out assault on socialism. When you see a name on this ongoing list that I am compiling, make a mental note to vote their ass out of office; and put a strong conservative Constitutional “Republican” in their place. It has to start with grass roots movements, like the one I have going right here on my blog. Who is with me?
