gus, flattery will get you nowhere.

I think there is a good opportunity here. Melissa, it’s true that people like us aren’t going to leave our “day jobs” (as the musicians say). But what about the younger adults? Consider the college student who is interested in conservative journalism. Where do they go to learn that? There are hundreds of schools that teach left-wing journalism, but none that teach conservative journalism. That’s part of the problem we have. A stipend for a group of students to travel, cover various issues of concern to conservatives, and meet conservatives around the country such as yourself would be a great opportunity. Heck, if I was young, footloose, and interested in the writing professions, I’d jump at that.

I tend to agree with Mark that the Republican Party isn’t the right organization to do it. I believe that having it run, or spun off from, a think tank like the Heritage Foundation, or a group like the Federalist Society, would be a more effective way of running it, and it would help deflect the inevitable accusations that the writers are just a house organ for the GOP.

I am not sure if paying the bloggers is the best way to “rebuild.” Somehow if I know a blogger is getting paid by the GOP, then I don’t think the objectivity is there. If you have a whole bunch of bloggers paid by the GOP, then most likely only the hardcore conservatives will be reading them. Preaching to the choir is not going to help.

I do agree we need to find ways to compensate the political activists/bloggers better in general.

I hate to say it, there is a reason the conservatives and Republicans are getting their asses kicked this year. and it’s not because they are not conservative enough. It’s because they are uncompromisingly narrow minded in their views. There is just no compromise in their platform. checking out both websites, “right wing news” and yours, I have to say you are a big part of the reason “The Right” is socially banckrupt. People are not voting overwhelmingly Democrat in 2008 because they all of a sudden became “fake Americans” or brainwashed by the commies, people just don’t want to vote for a bankrupt ideology. The “Right” does need to be rebuilt, But hopefully not by you.

This morning on Fox, “Joe the Plumber” was discussing how much power the communists (Obamaites) have in America. He asked,”if Obama has the power to totally investigate and embarass everyone who dares ask him an embarassing question, and yet not answer any real questions about himself now; What will he be able to do if he becomes president? He will be able and willing to prevent all criticism or inquiries.” As I listened, I realized that all the agencies investigating “Joe the Plumber,” in Ohio were actually every agency there. Joe pointed out that he was investigated by a woman from Family Services that was a big contributor to Obama and several similar examples.There is no doubt that if they could have had Joe arrested for something, anything,it would be a lesson to all of those fearful masses!
According to my own research every organization, church or association, of any size or influence, in America, is now controlled by leftists. Such groups range from the Association of Retired People to Libray Associations. The norm is that any new association becomes leftist within three years of its inception. The process which an association undergoes as it transforms from being an association, to a marxist (But it only acts Marxist, it does not call itself Marxist) association, is a process involving two communist processes, entryism and exploitation of the organizational weapon.
I will give you an example. I attended a meeting recently of a group that presented itself as an organization for “greening” buuildings in America. At the meeting a woman, an outsider, spoke who was obviously identifiable as a Marxist by her jargon and arrogance. She pointed out how many associations they had brought on board. The pictures she showed of “successful greened buildings” were the usual Boslshevik-style match-boxes adopted in the 1950s. There was nothing new.
The membership dues that she mentioned were a bit high.
Then she revealed that recently “the board” had invited Desmond Tutu to speak to their meeting in New York. When I asked why Desmond Tutu was paid an honorarium, flown in from Africa and all his expenses paid, to speak to an American greening group, she replied: “We seek iversity.” “But TuTu knows nothing about architecture, buildings or the greening movement,” I said. “Why waste all that money?” She said: “It was a board decision.” “Are you the Green Party?” (a Marxist Front) I asked. “Not actually. We are a large and growing association of people that support the greening of America.” she replied. Then someone asked: “Why are you seeking diversity from Africa?” which she ignored.
As she went on with her long boring talk there was much more to it than improving the environment. But it would take ten pages to describe all the Marxist ideas that the organization was promoting.
To summarize, America is now riddled with thousands of federal, state, and local organizations controlled by leftists with a Marxist agenda. Evey large corporation conducts periodic sensitivity grouup meeting advocating diversity and other collectivist ideas.
America has fallen to the communist organizational weapon. Obama’s massive power at all levels is an expression of that power.
On the other hand there is no strong right wing organization extant. Let’s set one up.
I am planning on setting up a blog dedicated to populism and meritocracy.
