The Gipper may have had "a long grounding in conservative thought", but he also never ceased to fight for what be believed in. On the eve of the 1964 debacle (a far worse pasting than either 2006 or 2008), Reagan stood against the MSM-controlled tide and delivered perhaps the finest political speech in history. Afterwards he did not wait for history to unroll – he made history. In other words: Don't just stand there, do something!

The Left never lets up, and they don't have to - they have a multi-billion propaganda machine at their disposal called the MSM. If we have any hope of defeating Democrats in 2010, we not only have to out-think the “smart people” (luckily, this is not too difficult), but we have to out-work them as well. That means starting right now. After the 2006 disaster too many conservatives seemed to sit back and wait for the Democrat-controlled Congress to self-destruct. We all saw how well that strategy worked last Tuesday. The lowest Congressional approval ratings in history seemed not to matter one bit. As Mark Steyn recently pointed out, conservatives in Canada and the UK have been waiting a long time for the Left to implode, and so far all they have to show for it is a minority conservative government in Canada. Running out the clock while you are several touchdowns behind is pretty bad strategy. It is not necessary to call for the impeachment of the Messiah, as some are already doing. Going howarddean works only for the MSM-protected Left. But today I saw news that the incoming Obama administration plans to review Bush's executive orders concerning oil drilling. Why not remind voters that if He carries out His plans, gas prices will sky-rocket again and that we will become more dependent than ever upon foreign oil? You can bet your last over-taxed dollar that Democrats will blame Republicans for all Democrat errors in the next four years, so why not at least get put up a fight? We all saw the Messiah's thuggish behavior during the campaign, and an Obama administration will be far worse. ACORN will soon have their man in the White House, and already in Minnesota we see efforts by Democrats to steal the Senate seat for Al Frankin. How about speaking out against this theft if nothing else? Does Noemie Emery think Democrats will mellow once in power, or the MSM will suddenly hold them accountable?
