Rule 1: Power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have. If your organization is small, hide your numbers in the dark and raise a din that will make everyone think you have many more people than you do.
Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

---from Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals".

BTW, the "whole world" isn't laughing...a select group of leftists is attempting to convince everyone that "the whole world is laughing". Saul Alinsky's tactics like those I posted above are nothing more than a psy-op. And I recognize them for what they are...this IS a life-and-death struggle, no matter how many snide remarks the likes of those such as Colbert, Stewart, and Maher make.

Don't despair, Democrats will eventually lose.

And then, win. And then lose.

So it goes...

You just have to gut it out until the electorate is so fed up with their loopy ideas they come around...until next time.

And, I'm sure in the past when Democrats had the reins in their teeth conservatives thought it was the end.

It isn't.

There's hope.

Michigan has just been dealt a once-unthinkable defeat to organized labor - A right to work law passed just this past Tuesday.

The Democrats don't completely own this country.

Please do not take this as a personal affront because I do not intend to offend you.

There are lots of us that want to believe what you say. It sounds to me like a Pollyanna world. Once the orcs get their way and drive us to socialism world there is then only one solution and it ain't the ballot box.

While that may be true, it may also turn out to be self-correcting, because once they have enough power they will drive the country straight into the ground. We're headed for economic collapse: it's already mathematically inevitable. They will keep kicking the can down the road for as long as they can (and I don't know how long that is...could be two years, could be twenty), but at some point economic reality will asset itself, and it will be a question of what path is taken when we emerge from the wreckage. I suspect at that point that socialism will have fallen out of favor.

anygunanywhere,

I'm not offended.

I fully appreciate your sense of resignation.

I was making an observation over my life as I've experienced political ups and downs. That is, no party stays in power into perpetuity.

Has the balance swung so far left that self-correction (over time) can't be achieved?

I certainly hope not, but we can't give in to despair and just throw in the towel.

Not being a Pollyanna, just bearing it.

Head up - forge on.
