Take your best shot, Comrade Markos. Obama the Socialist approves.
Posted on October 15, 2008
Comrade Markos, founder of the sludgefest DailyKos, is telling his followers that it isn’t enough to merely defeat McCain and Republicans this election cycle. No, he’s saying that conservatives must be CRUSHED!
I’ve been making the case the last couple of weeks that we can’t just focus on winning in November, but that we have an imperative to take advantage of a historic opportunity to break the conservative movement’s backs and crush their spirits. In the White House, that means getting Obama a broad popular and geographic mandate for change. In the House, that means annihilating the Republican caucus and working toward a 100-seat Democratic majority. In the Senate it means getting to a 60-seat filibuster proof majority.
Republicans will claim that McCain wasn’t one of them, hence rationalizing away their loss. But if we decimate their ranks, including their conservative icons, it’ll make it harder for them to justify their spin. Remember, we want them broken, their ranks thinned, their treasury in heavy debt, their morale in the gutter, void of any leadership, discredited in the eyes of the public.
Hence our need this year to take advantage of this perfect Democratic storm to not just win, but to utterly wipe the board clear of as many Republicans as we can catch in this wave. …
There is a sudden realization on the right that they are on the precipice of losing not just their majorities, but some of their most cherished voices. We have been blessed with an opportunity to help that process along.
They’re already expecting to lose. You want to see them truly crushed, you need to help (among so many others) Lord and Brown win their races.
Leave everything on the road.
Yes, my little liberal comrades… forget your integrity and principles. The real goal here is not just to elect those whose policies and principles are closest to yours, but to annihilate the “enemy” by any means necessary. And because Comrade Markos is one of the biggest voices on the left right now, they’ll do it. Just like zombies, the libs will do what they are told without stopping for a minute to think about it for themselves.
The funny thing is, conservativism can’t be crushed. Neither can liberalism. One ideology might dominate for a while, but the other must always exist.
And what Comrade Markos seems incapable of understanding is that four years of an ultra-liberal Congress and an ultra-liberal President will only work to move voters further to the right. People just want change every few years; it’s why it’s often hard for the same party to win the Presidency three terms in a row. After eight years, people are ready for something new. Politics is a cyclical game. And after four years of skyrocketing taxes, a lack of energy resources, and the economy in the [edited] (basically, four more years of Jimmy Carter), liberals will find themselves at an impasse.
See, they’ll have been able to accomplish everything they want to accomplish if Obama wins. We’ll have a filibuster-proof Congress and an ultra-liberal, socialist President. And when everything crashes and the people are angry, the blame will be on their shoulders. There can be no more pointing fingers, no more blaming Bush — they’ll actually have to take responsibility for their bad policies. And after four years of Socialism, the people will be clamoring for a conservative leader. Enter Sarah Palin, 2012. There’s a reason, after all, that people say that it took Jimmy Carter to give us Ronald Reagan. I don’t necessarily agree with that sentiment, but after four years of ultra-liberalism, conservatives will come back in force. This is the biggest problem with liberals like Comrade Markos: they cannot look to the future. They don’t think long-term. They don’t understand that, short of a dictatorship, they cannot enforce all of their socialist agendas and not have anyone ever push back. People will push back. They always do.
That said, Americans in general are moderate conservatives anyway. They may disagree on the methodology of some things, but by and large the majority of Americans believe in strong national security, free markets and capitalism, family values, and love of country. Most Americans are not people who are eager to bow to the UN on national security issues, they don’t like Socialism or big government, and they certainly don’t hate their country. So while yes, some Republicans will lose their seats in Congress this November, it by no means will crush the conservative movement, nor is that possible.
Of course, Comrade Markos is also assuming that liberals are, by definition, tougher than conservatives. That is quite possibly the most hilarious part of this post. Since when are liberals anything other than whiny five-year-olds in a grown-up’s body? Wimpy doesn’t even begin to describe it!
Finally, to sum it up, a relevant quote. I’m sure you’ve seen it many times, but it bears repeating:
“Conservatives consider liberals well-intentioned, but misguided. Liberals consider conservatives not only wrong, but really, really bad people.” — Larry Elder

Crush, huh? How about markos’ being crushed by the Budweiser Clydesdales? The ordinary beer drinking, hard working guy would definitely see the humor. And the little dirtbag needs a minimum of a severe a**-whipping. I volunteer.
