Epic Destruction

In the strategy game “Rome, total war”, a general usually ends a battle with two options; let the enemy flee, or run them down and slaughter each of them. How the general chooses to end the fight will affect the next battle, and may be the difference between victory and defeat. Letting the enemy flee may allow the surviving enemy to join up with a larger battalion thereby increasing the possibility of casualties on the attacking general’s side. If the general runs them down, he eliminates the enemy and there is no chance at a surprise attack. The tactic is brutal, but the war is won one battle at a time.

This is where we find the modern Republican Party right now, in a rout. We have been beaten, and beaten soundly in two elections that lost us the congress, the White House, and the connection with the average American. We have so few allies now, and so few leaders that we appear to be running for our lives, desperately clinging to any possibility of leadership or hope.

The opposition has chosen to run us down, with the end goal of an epic annihilation. Carville and Begala, along with the leadership of Rahm Emanuel, have issued the final orders for the comprehensive destruction of conservatism, and by extension, the entire RNC. The media have been employed to make conservatives look like white haired throw backs from the late 1800’s, invoking this specter on issues such as abortion, stem cell research, spending, welfare, and soon talk radio. Obama’s overall plan of fear and desperation has worked the nation into such a frenzy that once free thinking citizens now believe the institute of government is their only savior. They are willing to give up personal autonomy in exchange for collective security. And conservatism, the last bastion of true freedom, is fleeing from the pounding hoof beats of enemy horses.

So it is time to stop running. It is time to rally around the core beliefs of conservatism and show the world that we are not finished. We need to stand up against old school Washington insiders who throw out principle at the first sign of trouble. We need to make sure that all congressmen and women who claim to be from the GOP, are held responsible for their actions. We must seek out the new leaders, true leaders, who are principle based and not mealy mouthed on tough issues. Only then can we re-group and form a skirmish line worthy of defense.

It is my belief that the new leaders of the GOP are right here, in social networking sites, blogs, and conservative groups. We are the new generation, and we must act accordingly. We must vigorously defend life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We must bring the standard of liberty to all those around us and be prepared to defend it at all costs in all environments. Because when the curtain finally falls on this disastrous liberal ideology, the only thing left standing will be conservative principles.
