Im pleased to be here. I want to thank Tim Phillips for inviting me to this gathering, and the Koch brothers for organizing it. Most of you probably know that I grew up in a Communist family and had a misspent youth as a Marxist leader of the New Left in the 1960s. In later years, when I reflected on the damage our revolution had inflicted on our country, I would ask myself, Where was the ruling class? Why didnt they defend the System from these modern day Luddites and America haters? Why didnt they expel us from the schools we tried to shut down? Why did they give us platforms to advance our agendas? What were they thinking?
As the years progressed, and the radicals first infiltrated and then took over the Democratic Party, I found myself asking, Where is the ruling class? Why dont they see the threat this radicalized party is posing to their interests and the countrys? Why isnt the ruling class mobilizing its resources to oppose an assault that is threatening the free market system and the very foundations of our democracy?
...
If the last five unhappy years have taught us anything, it is these two things: First, elections have consequences. The lefts last two electoral triumphs have already had a devastating impact on our nation and its future. America is now a great power in steep decline, a by-stander in world events, where once it shaped them. Our president is set on a course that actively encourages our enemies, weakens our friends and diminishes our military strength. At home his policies have impelled us towards national bankruptcy and constitutional disorder. And worse. Until the IRS and NSA scandals and Obamacare revealed the power that the Obama radicals are acquiring, I myself did not realize how close we were to the prospect of losing our democracy and actually becoming a totalitarian state. If you control all that information about individual lives and you have all that power over their finances and health, you can destroy any opposition and you do not need a secret police to enforce your will.
...
Would it have been difficult to do this? Obama is arguably the most brazen and compulsive liar ever to occupy the White House. He is an absentee executive invisible at the budget negotiations in Washington and the withdrawal negotiations in Iraq, missing in crisis after crisis. While Egypt and Syria burn, he golfs. His endless dithering and misguided interventions in support of the Muslim Brotherhood have set the entire region aflame. Meanwhile, he and his wife carry on like French royalty, lavishing tens of millions of taxpayer funds on their family and dog while tens of millions of Americans suffer historic levels of deprivation because of the policies Obama put in place.
...
The answer is obvious to everyone but no one will say it out loud.
No one will confront Obama the way he deserves to be confronted because he is black. Actually he is half black, raised by whites and one Indonesian but no matter, since racist liberals have made the color of ones skin decisive. It is because Obama is a minority that no one will hold him to a common standard; or confront him with what he has actually done. Any political consultant will tell you that you cant. This is how race conscious and race-prejudiced our country has become.
...
In fact Democrat socialists want to be rich. In fact they are rich. Just ask George Soros, Jon Corzine, Nancy Pelosi, Rahm Emanuel, Terry McAuliffe, Bill Clinton and the White House couple. They want to be filthy rich. As far as socialists are concerned rich people are ok if they support the socialist agendas. Its cynicism on steroids. Its all about power. Its a strategy to win. Attack the rich to show you are friends of the poor. And politically it works.
...
In the real world, Democrat socialists have made the lives of poor Americans worse, much worse. You need to shove this fact in their faces every time you speak. Here is the reality: In every inner city of size in America, the selfish exploiters of the poor are liberals what I am calling Democrat socialists; they are the ones who fatten themselves off the votes of minorities and the poor while blocking their opportunities for a better life, and throwing them crumbs in return.
Detroit is a city Democrat socialists have run as a political monopoly for 52 years. For twenty of those Detroits Democrat mayor, Coleman Young, was also a member of the Communist Party.
In 1961 before their rule, Detroit had the highest per capita income in the United States; Today, it is the poorest large city in all fifty states.
...
Second, and far more importantly, a movement called Occupy Wall Street went on a rampage in American cities attacking the so-called 1% and the allegedly unfair distribution of wealth. Occupy Wall Street was a criminal mob supported by Obama and Pelosi, orchestrated and financed by the socialist government unions. Overnight, this changed the national debate from Obamacare to fairness. It cast anyone opposing more taxes as a selfish defender of the rich, and put Republicans on the defensive.
...
Lets put hope in the hands of people who cant afford to send their kids to schools that will teach them. Lets change the way the educational economy works, so that individuals are empowered not government so that competition is restored and standards are raised. Lets take the second biggest part of the government economy and return it to the people. Lets create a model of the kind of society we want a free market society, a society based on individual achievement, not government defined collectives.
This is just one possible campaign. Even if this particular campaign doesnt win the first or second time around it will eventually change the perceptions of everyone in politics. We will no longer be seen as the defenders of the rich; we will be seen as the defenders of minorities and the poor; and our opponents will be seen as their oppressors. If campaigns like this are conducted in the right way they will change not only the way conservatives frame their message; they will change the political landscape of the country and the prospects for our nations future.
