Hubris meet nemesis. We need to continue fighting and adapt the slogan – starve, replace and repeal.
by J. Robert Smith
Man proposes and God disposes. A big part of the trouble for Barack Obama and all those crackerjack leftwing strategists and the brigades of Alinsky thugketeers is that they’ve never gotten the hang of the second part of that old axiom. For the left, God disposes of nothing, because God is, well, nothing more than an opiate. The rest of us who believe in God know otherwise. History is strewn with fine examples of man’s grand designs coming athwart something — anything — that makes those designs not worth the paper they’re drawn on. By chance, does anyone know what happened to the British North American Empire?
So it is today in the United States of America. We have a president and a party (infested with a cabal of heathen leftists) whose grand design is to bloat the state and, hence, their own power. But the left’s smart plans have come athwart something, that something being the freedom-loving intransigence of God-fearing conservatives and many other Americans (God-fearing as well). What Barack Obama and the left have gotten is what they never expected: a political war — perhaps one on an epic scale that will bring down the House of FDR.
Providence is no friend of hubris, and there is much foul hubris in the left’s maximum leader, Barack Obama, and perhaps as much in his minions. Whether the Tower of Obama meets the same fate as the Tower of Babel depends on the outcome of the political war underway. Expect the war to be protracted and a close-run thing, for when push comes to shove, Mr. Obama and the left are choosing to govern in semi-caudillo fashion — that is, contrary to the will of the people. Utopia is being foisted on Americans for their own good.
The cocky President Obama; his chief henchman, the bullying locker-room nudist, Rahm Emanuel; and his Rasputin, a Chicago political machine consigliere named Axelrod, all misinterpreted and overestimated the results of the Democrats’ ascendancy in 2006 and 2008. They were buoyed by the analyses of shifts in the electorate penned by liberal pundits. America, the left believed, was ripe for a sharp turn left.
But almost from the get-go, Americans wanted no decisive swing leftward. Opposition to Mr. Obama’s big-government hash was nearly instantaneous. Conservatives were in the vanguard of fighting the revolutionary — perhaps more accurately, reactionary — march of the left toward heretofore unheard-of liberty-depriving dominance.

But ultimately, this war will not be won in the trenches. Victory depends on a breakout. The strategy is for freedom-lovers to hold the line until November. Then sober-minded voters, moving en masse to the polls, will elect a conservative majority via the Republican Party to the U.S. House or Senate, or both. Congressional majorities will then commence a new phase of the war, a war of maneuver aimed at outflanking Mr. Obama and the left.
If triumphant — if voters depose Madame Pelosi, the droll Harry Reid, and their forces — Republicans, with new conservative backbone and muscle, can begin Operation Starve, Replace, and Repeal. Starve Mr. Obama’s wretched government health care scheme of funding. Repeal it when a Republican president assumes office in 2013. And replace the Obama monstrosity with market-oriented, consumer-empowering reforms shortly thereafter. And do the same with any other legislation that the pale reds pushed through in their brief but disruptive tenure.
