Know thy enemy: This is not your mother's Democratic Party
Know thy enemy: This is not your mother's Democratic Party
by Andrew Breitbart

The Democratic Party's attitude to elections is admirable: Win. And recent history has shown it will do anything to do so.
When, if not now, will Republicans develop such a fighting spirit?
Democrats invest - with taxpayer money, mind you - in groups like ACORN that, among other sordid tactics, seek out Skid Row bodies and wheel them to polling places. All the Democratic National Committee needs are vans and smelling salts. Pop culture and the "education system" have done the rest, making "D" the default choice on Election Day.
Democrats brazenly take policy positions - think government services and even amnesty for illegal immigrants - not because they are the right thing to do, but because they are time-tested demographic bribes. Forget cigarettes and beer, Democrats would distribute needles, methadone, medical marijuana and biscotti in voter goodie bags if they could get away with it.
Democrats long ago jettisoned America's melting-pot ideal - E Pluribus Unum ("Out of Many, One") - because it imperils their campaign for permanent rule. Splitting the country into separate identity groups and playing them against each other works a lot better. And anyone who disagrees is a racist.
Win. Win. Win.
One of the first things President Obama attempted to do after taking office was to take control of the Census Bureau, an act that could redraw congressional districts and ensure Democratic majorities for years to come. The new president also etched out an enemies list, focusing on conservative talk-radio hosts, including Rush Limbaugh. He also appears to have singled out Fox News. Comedians and mainstream journalists who are usually contemptuous of government bullying and First Amendment threats also continue to do the president's bidding.
These overt political gestures were done amid economic chaos and mainstream media delirium to ensure permanent victory for a newly radicalized Democratic Party. Moveon.org, George Soros and the ghost of Saul Alinsky are in charge now. It's not just "tea party" protesters who think we've tilted far left. Self-avowed anarchists and open socialists proudly brandished Obama placards at well-attended May Day parades.
When elected, the Democrats dole out billion-dollar bonuses to their core supporters at taxpayers' expense. Witness the $787 billion stimulus package, an orgy of special-interest payback for labor unions, liberal activist groups and multinational corporations. One would be hard pressed to name a Democratic policy that is motivated more by principle than by winning.
Where is the media to expose this blatant corruption when the media are in the middle of the pile? NBC News, whose parent company General Electric is getting billions in stimulus cash to perpetuate Democrat-friendly "green" technologies and health care information systems, is at the forefront of a bizarre campaign to act as a check on the party that is out of power, not the party in power. NBC anchor Brian Williams bowed to the new president; MSNBC is a Fellini-esque exercise in liberal triumphalism.
With Democrats holding comfortable majorities in the House and Senate, as well as controlling the executive branch, it's only logical that the mainstream media to focus their scrutiny on Mr. Limbaugh, ex-Rep. Tom DeLay, former President George W. Bush and Sarah Palin, the governor of one of the least populous states. Right?
NBC News and MSNBC are certainly not along among the government watchdogs that have been tamed. The New York Times expends its considerable yet waning clout to ensure that our future is in a one-party state. Vocal, liberal Hollywood celebrities - on the same page as the Huffington Post and Keith Olbermann - spread the venom by making membership in the Grand Old Party seem like an anti-social act for young voters.
Such brazenly reprehensible Democratic lawmakers as Nancy Pelosi, John P. Murtha, Barney Frank, Harry Reid and Christopher J. Dodd are not trotted before the media because of their telegenic appeal and oratorical skills, but to act as symbols of what politicians can get away with it. It's a big-league taunt - like gang members in prison sporting "tear" tattoos under their eyes to brag about their kill count. Yeah ... What are you going to do about it, Mr. Boehner and Mr. McConnell?
Yet Democrats at least wield a logical and workable strategy to defeat their enemy. And "enemy" is precisely how they view the Republican Party.
Republicans, on the other hand, act like a snobby condo board and appear to seek out potential voters for their savoriness. The party expects pre-existing respectable organizations, Protestant churches in particular, to do the heavy lifting. In this day of dwindling Republican appeal, the party's ace in the hole is heard at the end of the polling day: "Have they counted the overseas military vote yet?" It's amazing Republicans ever win.
Most disturbing, Republicans seem to think Democrats can be their friends. Not only does the Republican Party not have a Ronald Reagan, the Democratic Party has no Tip O'Neill. Washington doesn't have end-of-the-day, cross-party social sessions over single-malt scotches. There is no bipartisanship that doesn't end in Republicans acquiescing in defeat of their core principles. A coordinated Democratic campaign against mainstream middle-of-the-road Republicanism is here to stay. And our strategy, as best as I can decipher it, is to be more liked than the last go around.
In the next election cycle, things need to be drastically different. Democracy is not Augusta National Golf Club. It's a messy free-for-all, and in a two-party system, the GOP will not survive if it doesn't accept the fact that the Democrats are its enemy and that it must begin to play for keeps. That means finding another Lee Atwater - only meaner - and not apologizing when we get him.
Wild Thing's comment.........
Wow! Excellent piece!
What Breitbart is saying was demonstrated in action yesterday in the European Elections in Europe, particularly in France.
GOP and all Conservatives should take note and study these elections closely.
France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy began a detailed, meticulously planned and executed, politics as blood sport campaign to demolish the leftist opposition, and did it.The PS (Socialist Party) was in total disarray after two years of Sarko, and in his strong campaign in the EU elections, the Socialist were literally wiped out. This giant tsunama reverberated in a wave of Rightist victories throughout Europe. I always remember when the President of France came here to visit President Bush, how much he loved America and was such a refreshing change from the past president of France. A night and day difference and what Obama is with his hate for our country. I am no hufge fan of Nichoas Sarkozy, but when he does something right I sure willl give him credit and this he has done right.

Too many conservatives think compromise is the name of the game. I remember the years of Gerald Ford and Bob Dole promoting that policy. The problem being that Democrats don't play that game. Ronald Reagan did not play that game. The two Bushs did. Look at the difference in results.
Obama and the Democrat Congress are not playing the compromise game. The only thing between them and ultimate power is the roar and wrath of the American populace. Hopefully in 2010 and 2012 we will wake up and vote in some opposition to the Democrats. If we get some Repub candidates that are more than Rinos.

Andrew Breitbart is right of course, Chrissie. Thank God we have independent voices like him out there to tell the undistorted truth. France and Germany rejecting that utopian state, even Britain is grasping for it's lost manhood, Gordon "Clinton" Brown is in the hot seat.
The Democrats have one tremendous advantage, media control. I don't have a whit of use for the Democrat's long term protectorate called North Korea but the media is skewing facts to play to emotions.
The hot button topic of the day is about the two 'journalists', Laura Ling and Euna Lee, sentenced to twelve years each in North Korea.
Obama would love to have Kim Jong Il's power to eliminate any dissention, he has set up his strongmen(CZARS?) to do just that. He'd love to put Team Theodore and those like us in that lockbox.
This may seem off topic but.
Since both administrations claim to be 'Democratic', our very own open government and media have left out a couple of things, one is the fact that NewsWorld International, formerly French owned by Vivendi Universal SA. was purchased by a partnership, INdTV Holdings. That partnership has morphed into Current TV, a satellite television channel that commenced operations on August 1, 2005. Laura Ling and Euna Lee are both employed by Current TV. Its Chairman of the Board is former Vice President Al Gore. Its Chief Executive Officer is Joel Hyatt, former Finance Chairman for the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Among the network's largest investors are several prominent left-liberal and Democratic Party activists.
The only American witness to the incident, Current TV producer Mitchell Koss who has since returned to the United States, is not speaking publicly. Neither are other Current TV staffers. Those two women were used for their ability to speak the language without the aid of an interpreter or Chinese Communist mentor.
Since the venue of Current TV is of the 'gotcha nature' investigative reporting, supposedly of of N. Korean refugees along the Chinese border, Al Gore style, it is no wonder that these two would be a big political coup for Kim, a former VP involved in espionage, now there are rumbles about an envoy being sent, Bill Richardson, or Clinton? Someone high in the hierarchy of our Socialist leaders. Fox has been the only one to openly make the connection to Al Gore.
Andrew touched on the fact that the Democrats are our enemy, nothing could be clearer than the subterfuge of one of the 'Journalists'.
"In June 2006, Lisa Ling and Australian cameraman Brian Green, snuck into North Korea posing as members of a medical delegation headed by Nepalese eye surgeon Dr. Sanduk Ruit. Images captured using miniature hidden cameras were combined with U.S. State Dept. and Dept. of Defense-provided footage and the result was Undercover in North Korea for the National Geographic Channel’s Inside series which aired in April 2007.
Not guilty? That's debateable, but they don't have a super future in prison. It's awful quiet on the Global Warming Front, where is Al? This just didn't happen it was planned and they were caught red handed, pun intended. Reckless behaviour by a very stupid former VP.
Al Gore's employees are locked up and he hasn't uttered a word of complaint. Let's see, private espionage in a foreign land, hey he's just like John Kerry, Jane Fonda or Robert Garwood.
Gordon Brown is being taken to the woodshed for his crap in the UK and we still can't even get a legitimate birth certificate from our Marxist leader because of Communist media protection.

That was part of McCain's problem he couldn't bring himself to say, realize or even think of Obama as the enemy. Didn't McCain say, 'oh he's just like you and me just different ideas'. When I heard that, I knew deep down we didn't have a chance. This is what Rush had been saying all along. You can't play nice with the democrats, because as soon as you turn your back they will slit your throat.
Had McCain pick anyone else it wouldn't have been close. Sarah Palin did her damndest to save that campaign but the Rino's had already carved out a loser with McCain, Thanks to Bowel Powell and other Rinos. The night they introduced Sarah Palin at the convention they were on fire. The next night there was Lindsey Grahamesty, putting out the fire by pissing on all the conservatives, that brought everything into perspective, we were going to lose.
When we run conservatives and they can think out side the box we scare hell out of those bastards.

Change should not be moving from independent living to waiting in line for a handout from this Obammunist government. WTF.

Tom, huge thank you.
Dole and Ford both were rino's. My Dad
did not like Ford at all and he said
it was very hard for him to vote for
him.
Your so right about Reagan, he never was a part
of the new world order, or skull and bones
or a rino. He was just Reagan that loved
America sooooo much.

Jack, nothing is ever off topic,big smile.
Thank you so much for that information about
Laura Ling and Euna Lee.That is all so interesting.
I held off posting about this as I try not
to post about a topic if I personally,
am really in the dark about it. If I do
a post now I want to add the information you
have given, that is so good and explains
soooooo much.
Thank you Jack.

Mark,DITTO and a big AMEN. I agree so much.
I will never ever forget as long as I live
the night I watched on TV when McCain
said to the audience that Obama was a man
of honor and a good man. Meanwhile Sarah
was pounding away at Obama like a trooper.
I was so angry and felt so defeated.
Nicholas said that night, Chrissie, McCain
wants to lose, we just saw how badly he
wants to lose this election.

Bob A., yes that sure isn't a change I
want either.
