Going back to 1952, the Republican Party has won more elections than the Democrats. The GOP is 9-6 in Presidential elections. Yet its the Progressives whose agenda has moved fo0ward. One could argue that Eisenhower, Nixon, Bush I and Bush II were not Conservatives. But none the less, they were not Leftists, but still the country moved Leftward. This Leftist shift culminated in the election of America’s first 3rd World Liberation Marxist in Barack Hussein Obama. How did this happen? Well it come sdown to the fact both the Left and Right have different views in politics.
The Right is always looking for a Cannae/Austerlitz style decisive victory. Conservatives think they are one big electoral landslide away from saving the country. In 1972, Richard Nixon won a 49 state landslide. Yet in just 2 years in the 74 Midterms, the Democrats made a massive 49 seat gain in the House to get 2/3 majority and 4 seats to get 60 votes in the Senate. This pattern repeated itself after every big Republican win. Reagan had a 49 State landslide in 84, only to lose the Senate in 86. The GOP won Control of the House in 94, for the first time in 40 years and recaptured the Senate, only to lose to Bill Clinton in 96. In 2004, Bush won re-election then in 06, the GOP lost the House and Senate. It seems after every Austerlitz, the GOP suffers a Waterloo/Stalingrad style defeat. This is due to the fact, they rest on their laurels after a victory.
The Democrats on the other hand are willing to accept defeat to achieve long term victory. The Left follows Mao Zedong’s people’s war theory. They are willing to make tactical retreats and then inflict small defeats on an enemy that results in a big loss. Hence why after a massive defeat, the Democrats come back. If you look at the goals of the Democratic Party, they have practically achieved them, despite Republicans dominating the Presidency or Congress in recent times. That is because The Left has infiltrated Academia, the Culture and the Media. From these stronghold they launch guerrilla political war when the Right lets oits guard down. They then shape public opinion, which then results in their coming back to political power.
2012 will be a decisive battle, but not the end of the war. Conservative/Libertarians should seek to win control of local school boards, take over State Colleges, get involved in culture and create an alternative media, like what Britbart was doing. The Right must adopt Mao’s people’s awar strategy and aim for a long term victory. The Right also needs to define the enemy. The enemy is the Progressive-Islamic Axis. If Conservatives/Libertarians can do this and be patient, they will see the nation move Rightward. If after 2012, they assume they won a total victory, the next Stalingrad could come in 2014 or 2016 or 2018.
The Right must wage a political counter guerrilla war against the Left,as the AUC did in Colombia against the FARC. That was the most succesful Rightwing counter insurgency ever seen. The heirs of the AUC control the Colombian government, media, academia and culture. This is what the Right should aim for here in America.
Note: I am not praising Mao, who was a genocidal madman. I am pointing out the Left uses his people’s war tactics in politics. They take a long term view of politics and treat it as war.

The Right looks for a knockout blow i.e. a Cannae, while the Left plans for a long term strategy.
Naw we just happen to breed with a percentage of liberal women since their liberal male friends aren’t up to the task
Isn’t there a better example than Mao Zedong, since he had his dalliances with little Chinese Girls?
Really Rodan? Using Mao tactic’s to defeat bho? Using evil against evil isn’t the best route to defeat evil.
Just sayin. What about just using the truth about these thugs in the White House? Truth always trumps evil and lies. Every. Single. Time.
@ Macker:
He was the most successful guerrilla leader in history. That makes him useful to study as a general, even though his personal characteristics were appalling.
@ Iron Fist:
It’s like using a psychopaths tactics because some of what the psychopath did was well okay…yet in the end the psychopath left millions of people dead. Sorry using anything from Mao is like practicing white magic or black magic in the end these two forms are the same whether the idiots of wicca realize it or not. It’s like drinking from the same well and saying no the water I drank is different I drank from the good side of the well.
@ Lily:
Hannibal destroyed The Roman Legions at the Battle of Cannae. The Romans under Scipio adopted Hannibal’s tactics and turned the table at Zama. If your enemy’s tactics are successful, there’s no harm in using those tactics.
I used Mao as an example because the left applies his people’s war to politics. The Right tries to win a knock out blow. I am not endorsing or praising Mao. I am just saying we need to adopt the Left’s long term view of politics.
@ Lily:
What Rodan is saying is that we have to use the enemy’s tactics against him. Over the last 40 years, we have watched the Left march through the institutions, to the point that there is no aspect of American life that has not been in some way impacted. We need to do that in reverse. We need to go after the schools, first and foremost. We need to be impacting how children are taught, because people will come back to what they’ve been taught at a young age most of the time. It is really more important to get to young kids than it is to get into Academia (the Universities, I mean). I, myself, am not suited to teaching children, though my long-term plans will have me going into academia as a history teacher. That is some time in the future, I am afraid. We also need to affect popular culture. That is, in some ways, harder, because the gate-keepers of popular culture are so dogmatically Left. There are chinks in that armor, though, and we are seeing more conservative actors/actresses, comedians, and the like coming out. It is a long process, but it has been a long process getting here. Unless we settle down for the long fight, we will be defeated. Simply saying to the government “I want to be left alone” isn’t sufficient. They won’t leave us alone, and if you have kids they definately won’t leave your kids alone.
@ Lily:
This post is not saying to emulate Mao. Just to adopt the Left’s political guerrilla tactics.
@ Iron Fist:
Bingo!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ Rodan:
Rodan he was a very evil man. Just putting his picture up there is awful. Aren’t there any NEW tactic’s to use instead of glorifing Mao?
Sorry …. anything to do with this man is wrong. Mao should never be used as example unless you are using him to call out evil. Like I said fighting evil with evil no one wins.
@ Lily:
You didn’t get what he wrote. He says to use political guerrilla tactics. Do we want to have more McCain “my friends” mush?
The Left has done down-up organization -- school boards, local media, etc.

You just proved my point. The Right always thinks they are one election away from total victory. The Left can accept a defeat because they take a long term view. The Left is NOT at its last gasps. They will still control Academia, the media and Culture. From these holdouts they can mount a comeback. We need to adopt a long term view, like teh Left does.

@ heysoos:
Al Capone personally murdered John Scalise and Albert Anselmi using a baseball bat. He is also suspected early on in his career of shooting to death Big Jim Collosimo, paving the way for himself and Johhnny Torrio to take over the Chicago rackets. He was arrested in ’26 for killing three ppl, but the charges were dropped for lack of evidence. God knows how many people he killed with his own hands, but there’s enough circumstantial evidence to show that it was at least 10 to 20.

Just noticed a new tactic of the left today. I received an email from a state senator with some links in it. All of the links were tagged as dangerous sites by WOT.
WOT is a browser plugin by McAfee that warns you about attack and phishing sites, it’s usually pretty good. The only problem is, the sites are reported by users. Well, apparently our friendly neighborhood leftists are running around on the internet labeling all sites they disagree with as attack, virus, and phishing sites.
So, here in MT we now have a woman running for Supreme Court and a State Senator, whose sites are now listed as dangerous.
Another example of liberal support for freedom of speech.

Somebody at the Pentagon gets how to handle the War:
Pity the Obama Administration killed the course. It sounds like it was dedicated to preparing our military professionals for the harsh realities of a global war with a dedicated, suicidal enemy.
Perhaps a better way to have said all of this is that we should pursue and take satisfaction in small victories as they are part of larger victories. We needn’t cite a monster such as Mao; the Democrats have employed the tactics of incrementalism for generations and have been largely successful. Meanwhile, conservative Republicans have seemed more intent on conducting purity tests than embracing the fact that even moderate Republicans are far preferable to the socialists that populate today’s Democrat party.

I think we should set up reeducation camps for the left in the event of a Mitt win. We could disguise them as counseling sessions. Decorate them will all sorts of leftist agi prop. Shame and embarrass the grassroots lib until they have confessed how they have sinned against God and Country. Make a few of them wear billboards on the corner stating how they now realize Obama was the devil.
The Dems are going to hit the right this way at every level of voter. Top down. organized. A gang pile on to drive dissent away.
Rodan is right the only to stop them in their tracks is to hit them in the face with the same dirt and show them who they are.

There will be a huge astroturf ploy in the media on how bad it is for a politician to run negative. McCain will then refuse to , while Obama and henchman run roughshod over him with sharpened spurs.

Obama is extremely over confident. The Democrats think they have this election in the bag. See Carville’s article where he warns them.
