Finally, the Republicans need to learn this book...

David Horowitz has a new book out and it deals with teaching Republicans 1) who they are fighting and 2) that politics against leftist/progressive/democrats is an actual fight, not some academic pursuit...

Rule of Law Take No Prisoners Latest Book by David Horowitz Provides Modern Battleplan for Conservatives

At the root of this strategic mistake is the belief among many Republicans that the two parties still share the same goals, but have divergent ways to get there. News flash: Democrats like John F. Kennedy and Scoop Jackson no longer exist. The Democrats have been taken over by messianic progressives seeking to craft the world in their own image. “Republicans do not hope to change the world. They are too mindful of the human catastrophes that have been brought about by those who do,” the former Communist Horowitz writes because he knows it all too well.

As a result of this attitude, conservative’s emotions are not inflamed as progressives’ are when confronting those with whom they disagree. The conservative instinct is to search for common ground and to arrive at practical measures to address public problems. That is why they take a lot of time explaining to voters how their proposals might work. But by the time they reach them, many voters are not listening.

This may be the central dividing line between the establishment and the Tea Party — a division Horowitz notes is more a question of tactics than goals.

Horowitz’s prescription: 1) Put the aggressors on defense. 2) Throw their victims in their faces. 3) Start the campaign now because they already have.

Race has become the central organizing energy behind the progressive domination of the Democrat party, and the defeat of the GOP. Race is the word that makes Republicans scatter in terror. Some Republicans have decided that the best approach to racial issues is to give the race agitators what they want.

This rewards evil. Organizing Americans on racial lines is evil. Hundreds of thousands of Americans lost their lives to eradicate polices that treated people differently because of skin color. Horowitz:

When all is said and done, this racial Teflon is the reason that Republicans lose elections. . . . If conservatives are unable to repel and neutralize these squalid Democratic attacks, they can’t hold Democrats accountable. They can’t hold Obama accountable, and by extension they can’t hold any progressive accountable. Because this is how they fight. . . Any form of counterstrategy to these Democratic offensives must take the form of an attack.

Horowitz is right.

Here’s an example. The NAACP is a morally bankrupt organization. They held the moral high ground a half century ago and helped end racial evil. But in 2014, they thrive on scaring and tricking minorities into being afraid. They herd minorities into solid electoral blocks by telling them Republicans seek to disenfranchise them by passing voter ID. They lie to minorities to scare them the same way white southerners stirred cultural fear of black men a century ago because they posed a predatory threat to southern women. That Voter ID disenfranchises blacks in 2014, and black men in 1914 were a predatory threat to white women, are both racially motivated lies designed to stoke fear and paranoia of the opposite race.

They have to learn to read before they can be expected to read an actual book.

The sheep of the Democrats/Progressives/Socialists actually do share the same goals, that's why it's nearly impossible to reason with them, because they truly believe they are holy crusaders. It's like dealing with radical Islam.

Meanwhile, their Dear Leaders laugh all the way to the bank.

I also consider most non-Libertarian leaning conservatives to be closet Progressives, with an affinity for warmongering. We saw a lot of the authoritarian right lend their unyielding support towards the Ferguson Oathbreakers. They too have a vision, and like the Progressive vision, it ends in mass graves.

"Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg is a good one too.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Oh boy! If people read that book, they will suddenly understand that calls for voter ID laws are not attempts to suppress the vote!

True story!

 

[2aguy]

Since the majority of Americans who have ancestors from Africa support voter I.D. laws...are they suppressing their own vote? Are they racists against themselves?

Let me guess......you've got a poll?

This matter is not up for debate. The GOP calls for voter ID laws are attempts to suppress the vote. Known, known......dummy.

Well, republicans are the one that interfere in the voting process. Blacks and other minorities understand this. Trying

The gop is kind of stupid trying to convince minorities otherwise. Blacks and minorities are hep to the gop jive. They're the party of the rich and screw everybody else.

People don't like it when Democrats empty out cemeteries on election day. It's kind of creepy seeing thousands of guys like this carted around from polling station to polling station. Gives people the heebie-jeebies.

You're goddamn right it's an "actual fight".

Leftists/progressives/democrats have destroyed this Nation, most notably in the last six years.

The gop is kind of stupid trying to convince minorities otherwise. Blacks and minorities are hep to the gop jive. They're the party of the rich and screw everybody else.

Mitchellville, MD has a median household income of $120k and Prince George's County, MD has a median household income $20k higher than the national average. Both are vastly predominantly black, both have extremely disproportionately high crime and everyone votes democrat. You have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[Wacky Quacky]

Republicans don't need to learn how to "fight" democrats. They need to learn how to not make themselves look like crap, because that's their problem. It's not their message. It's not the way they retaliate against democrat tactics. It's their product, that's what's wrong with republicans right now.

McConnel and Boehner can scream that they're fiscal conservatives till their blue in the face, no one actually believes them. It doesn't matter how many times they invoke the name of Reagan or claim they support the constitution, no one's buying that crap anymore.

They need to fix themselves before they start pointing fingers at democrats.

They desperately try to keep the conversation about ID hoping to block discussion on lowering the number of hours and voting locations and the other dozens of anti democracy/American "tricks" they have up their slimy sleeves. And they say Democrats are Fascist.

The Republican leadership of today are DINOSAURS who's formative years were during the 60s and 70s. Rush is right about this. They will not and cannot change their thinking. They don't remember how conservatism won the day when Reagan won. They remember when Goldwater lost big time.

They haven't changed their thinking since that time and they aren't going to let "upstarts" like Ted Cruz take their power away. They don't care if they have to lose elections to do it. Republicans like Mitch McConnel and John McCain are determined to hold power over the GOP and they don't want conservatives like Reagan taking that power away, again.
