(with tongue firmly in cheek) Isn't it odd that Edwards snipes at Limbaugh in perfect harmony with his Obamaness.
It would almost seem as if he had access to the same talking points given to the democrat news organs, sometimes called the MSM.
Socialism has made a giant stride forward. The power elite think the die is cast for decades to come and are now throwing aside all pretense of party divisions as they fight to consolidate power.
We have been conquered without a shot being fired. America is reaping the bitter harvest of a lost education system and the ignorance it fosters. The glassy eyed vulgus mobile chants "change we can believe in" without a thought toward what that change will bring.
I have a blank page titled, "The GOP Fights Back" waiting for something to be written on it. Each day I scan the news looking for someone to champion.
No takers so far!
I have resolved to stick to positive themes this year, which may explain why I haven't posted anything yet. HaHa!

I know. I've been behaving myself but this was too much. In the 60s all of us young punks were rebelling against what we saw as a solid phalanx of reactionaries at the top. Now I find myself in league with people who are mainly anonymous and powerless facing the unquestionable 'truths' of the powerful. It doesn't matter to me the way it used to except for the fear of the future that I feel.

Spectacular piece!
I do wonder what people like Edwards would have us do. You outlined it pretty well with basically, a "shut up or die" attitude.
It only takes one glance at Reagans attitude towards liberals to know that he is much closer to Limbaugh and Coulter than GW or Graham or McCain. Reagan said what needed to be said, how it needed to be said. Limbaugh and Coulter do the same things. Just because the democrats are now loony liberals and have more flaws, doesn't mean that Coulter and Limbaugh are more negative, it just means they are still speaking the truth.
Great post.

I think Reagan slowed down the process that began with FDR but we have reached the end game of the old America. This is a different country than it used to be.

but we have not lost the war. Good will eventually triump over evil.
I refuse to give in to the new "order". I might only be one little voice in a "jerk water" part of the country; but I will still keep up the fight.

Yea FDR was the guy that started this all. Through HS you learn that FDR was this great president, and then after HS I finally started learning on my own about him and he was a horrible president. The New Deal crap...ugh, boy did it hurt us.
One thing Im worried about though:
Under Hitler, the Germans flourished and came out of the depression earlier than everyone else, due to all the government working. Socialism has short term gains, before the government collapses. What will happen here? We are so near collapsing already, that is may not have an upswing before it does, but what if it does otherwise? That would lead us further down this road and a revolution would soon be the only thing that would save us from melting into a dictatorship type government.

Hitler revived the economy by repudiating the unpayable WW1 sanctions and was very business-friendly. He stopped the labor unions and refused to intervene in the private sector. The chaos of Weimar was replaced by a kind of security. His Socialist colleagues were appalled by his sellout of socialist ideals. When Speer took over war production in 1942 he was shocked at the lack of mobilization and organization in the German economy. But in the end his utopian schemes ruined the entire country.

"It doesn't matter to me the way it used to except for the fear of the future that I feel."
Nicely put.
This leap forward for the socialist agenda comes at time when we are least prepared to deal with it. Age changes the way you can respond. Normally we would have economic power at this stage of life but conditions are sapping that strength daily.
The new agenda is an attack on the economic power of the middle class, which is where most conservatives live, while simultaneously funneling donation funds either directly from government or in the form of free money for democrat voters which can in turn be donated.
A black market economy is bound to grow under these conditions. At least black marketing is a capitalist concept.

Unintended Consequences
Sarge- Some of this stuff is so ludicrous. The environmentalists are leading the charge. If they enact half of what they're discussing there will be riots in the streets before long.One of the advantages of working with people who are so much younger than me is seeing how much of an advantage it is to be able to put things in a much wider historical perspective. When we were kids we at least knew history back to WW1, we remembered events through the context of our parent's experiences in WW2 and the Depression. We read books all the time. Most of these semi-literate college-grad kids in their twenties cant remember much before 9/11. They werent taught history and they never paid any attention to what's going on around them. They've been robbed and they dont even see it.

I can, first hand, tell you that many college students don't know the first thing about history. Being in college right now and among them it is crazy how many of them cannot even understand basic economics and how taxes affect the economy. We have robbed a full generation or better of an education.

I mentioned the book '1984' in the lunchroom at work a few weeks ago and not one of the college grad kids I work with had ever read it. The only other person at this place who is over 40 is a refugee from the USSR of the 1980's. She and I are constantly amazed when we have conversations about simple historical incidents that might as well be science fiction to these people. America had a culture that has completely disappeared. That is why I despair of the public coming to its senses and tossing the Dems out. They do not have the consciousness required for a free people.

There is nothing wrong with your email
There is nothing wrong with your email client. Do not attempt to adjust the port settings. We are controlling the transmission. If we wish to make it disappear, we will send it into cyber space. If we wish to read it, we will read it.
We will control the pop3. We will control the stmp. We can destroy your hard drive. We can change your packet routing.
For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your email client.
You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the Obama Limits. hahaha!
I couldn't resist! Help me, I'm a prisoner stuck in 1958!

The Age Of No Limits
We used to LOVE Outer Limits. We turned all the lights off and kicked our parents out of the living room (only one TV per household in those simple times). It never got as scary as watching the news with this new gang in control.
