In which I advise the republicans to learn judo


Give the president EXACTLY what he wants on taxes, on the cliff.
EVERYTHING.
Make pretty speeches saying you don’t believe this is the right thing, but to prove partisan action will not be allowed to stand in the way of the people’s will, and you will GIVE Obama what he says he needs.
If things improve you helped.
If things SUCK MORE, Obama owns it.
Do NOT fall into the well laid trap that your resistance as the party of NO has hurt the nation, and that you are more interested in obstruction on behalf of rich people than on helping the middle class.
Next, go PAST the president on immigration, back to pre 1924, but demand REAL border security. Craft an EASY path to citizenship. Make Americans. Immigration is absolutely what made us great.

I was just talking to Pasto about this exact thing. We have no choice but to let this country crash and burn to get people to wake up. Let the overnment tit go dry so there are no more handouts and the unrest hits a fever pitch. And THEN rebuild it.

But we have to keep pointing out what's going on in the meantime so that there is a record when things go to hell. So someone can say "hey, they had it right all along, maybe we should try it"

Yes, there is a valley of tears to cross.

It won't take a Galt like strike, just enough discouragement where it COUNTS.

How bad will it have to get?
Spain is still going with 25% unemployment.

If we keep on printing, people on social security will be looking like buddhist monks in Saigon in 1963

YOu're absolutely right.

We had a post on this two days back. A video by one Toots Sweet.
