Well, I’m not pessimistic. But after feeling dull as dishwater for so many years I just want to feel absolutely YIPPIE! before I die. To laugh out loud! I would like to see some things happen very very quickly, not filter down.

ME:

Shari has put her finger on the most important weapon in the enemy arsenal. No one DARES come out openly on our side. That was the main obstacle to the obvious coalition f Wallace voters and conservative Republicans who got 57% of the vote in 1968. Republicans ignored this chance for victory, staying middle of the road, until the Reagan landslide of 1980.

I spent YEARS convincing Republicans to abandon their pursuit of the “Negro” vote, which sounds as insane today as it sounded to me then. But at every Republican get-together, they always had to say they’d get the “Negroes/blacks/minorities.”

Why did they do this? Because everybody, from the news media to their local paper to political experts to those who screamed “racist” at them, insisted that they were not naziwhowatnedtokillsixmillionjews, and they were interested in minorities.

They said, as Bush does today, that minorities were basically conservative, but every time they talked about their “big tent” platform, everything they put in to appeal to minorities was straight leftism.

I am going all the way around my elbow to get to my thumb here, but you must understand HOW they did this. Remember, Wallace and Nixon got 57% of the vote in 1968. At one time the ruling Democrats were down to 29% in the polls! Almost every single one of the voters who came back from Wallace went to the Democrats at the last minute.

So if you could do simple arithmetic, it was obvious that the Wallace Democrats, since 1980 labeled the Reagan Democrats, were the key to victory. So how in heaven’s name did they keep Republicans on this stupid course of moderation and always losing?

Shari put her finger on it. The media and the yuppies simply did not ALLOW any arithmetic in the equation. They kept the Jerry Fords up there drooling, “The votes are in the middle of the road.” And “We need an INCLUSIVE party.” “Inclusion” meant excluding white workers, b but we were never ALLOWED to say that.

Shari, this is MORAL warfare. I was as silenced about this as I am about race. They control the MORALE. That is why I finger respectable conservatives as our worst enemies. That is why I want DEFEATISTS to go commit Seppuku.

Yes, defeatists, you are the best friend our enemies have, you are part of their weapon.

KILL YOURSELF before you spread your anthrax-like disease.

Shari is NOT a defeatist, so I forbid her to send me a note saying I am talking about her. I am sure Shari will obey me just as faithfully as other women do.

But what Shari has done here is what commenters do: She has drawn our attention to a very important point. We will ALWAYS feel isolated. In fact, our special value is in this period when others ARE demoralized. Anybody can join the torchlight parade or get out in the streets with tens of thousands of others when we smell victory.

My life has been worthwhile because I have always marched to the words someone wrote a long time ago:

“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”

My life has been one long Valley Forge. And if that is not a brag that makes one’s life worth while, I do not know what is.

Make or break is Valley Forge, Shari. And you are here.
