One definition of the word epiphany says:
3. a. A sudden manifestation of the essence or meaning of something.
I surely had an epiphany thanks to Phyllis Schlafly. In my mind she connected Rove and his establishment Republicans to a Capitalism & Socialism message board that I posted on in 2001 and well into 2002. It was on that message board that I came to understand how Socialists got away with their garbage for decades.
In addition to being a one-topic board, the format was much different than the US Message Board, and there was only one monitor. He or she would discuss specific complaints on the board for all to see. Example:
As soon as I talked about socialism the religion, socialism/communism, etc., Socialists jumped all over me claiming that the rules of the board restricted messages to the economics of capitalism and socialism. Everything else was off-topic. In short: Socialists tried to dictate what non-Socialists could say.
The back and forth continued throughout the time I posted on the C & S board. Of the several hundred messages I posted in that time only one was removed —— it was put back up after there was a monitor change.
The epiphany
The second reason Schlafly offers in the following excerpt triggered my revelation:
Schlafly opened my eyes. Rove is essentially saying “It’s the economy, stupid.”
Here’s Rove’s objective. Taxation is always economic. If it’s not economic what the hell is it?
Republicans & Democrats talk about the “economy” but look where they took the country with taxation. Most recently, five douche bags on the Supreme Court forced SOCIALIZED MEDICINE on the country because the chief douche bag called it taxation. Lesson: The minute any issue is reduced to economics exclusively the American people lose a bit more of their liberty.
My Point: The Hillarycare II debate, and the High Court’s ruling, should have been about socialism’s ideology. Not only did Democrats get away with taking their ideology out of the debate, they never had to defend the negative effects on the economy that are now becoming apparent. In spite of the evidence emerging daily Hussein & Company continue to claim Hillarycare II is positive because it will create 4 million new TAX DOLLAR jobs.
The crime is that discrediting every one of socialism’s tyrannical dictates is the best way to help the economy, and by extension help private sector Americans, yet nobody does it. In fact, anybody with a public voice who tries is quickly labeled a crackpot by the Left. Republican Rove even did it:
I’m pretty sure every government official knows what I’m talking about. I can’t believe that non-Socialists are so stupid they don’t know what Socialists are up to. That brings me to congressional Republicans and Democrats.
Conservatives never really had a voice in Congress. Rove’s Republicans never came close to fighting for conservative ideals. Nor did conservatives have an effective platform throughout the decades the media monopoly was in effect. The Fairness Doctrine plugged every leak in the wall separating public discourse from Socialist control of the media. Talk radio, Rush Limbaugh, and the Internet, changed everything. The real test will come when Socialists are required to defend their non-economic ideology.
NOTE: Hussein often refers to socialism’s standard touchy-feely garbage, but so far he has not defended his religion against a knowledgeable opponent determined to expose his beliefs for what they are instead of simply sucking up to “THE PRESIDENT.” (Al Gore does the same thing with his environmental claptrap. He cringes at the thought of debating Christopher Monckton.)
Wealthy individuals and powerful institutions on both sides want America to become a totalitarian country. Rove’s Republicans think they can bring it about without adopting every hardcore collectivist objective that leading Democrats intend to implement. Incrementalism gave us the welfare state. Combine the welfare state with Hussein’s domestic and foreign policies and it’s obvious that Rove & Company are fighting a losing battle if they think the economy alone is a winning strategy.
Bottom line: Wealthy establishment Republicans will settle for a seat at tyranny’s table rather than fight Socialists on the only battlefield that can defeat socialism/communism. The history of the past seventy years shows that socialism/communism will not be defeated by allowing the Democrats to frame the debate around the economy alone. Tea Partiers have to show how tearing down each one of socialism’s tenets is good for the economy. There is a direct relationship between them. Explaining those connections in detail is the way to go.
I’ll close with one question: Why the hell does Rove, or anyone else, think Socialists want to talk about something that will lead to their defeat? Democrats welcome talk about taxation because they can lie about their agenda on the way to victory.
I zeroed in on one topic in Schlafly’s piece although she always has a bunch of good stuff in her columns. This one is no exception:

The epiphany
The second reason Schlafly offers in the following excerpt triggered my revelation:
There are two reasons why Rove and his rich donors don’t like grass-roots Republicans and tea partiers. The Establishment can’t order them how to vote, and the Establishment wants candidates to talk only about economic issues, never about social, moral, or national-security issues.

After Christine O’Donnell won the Delaware primary in 2010, Rove tried to defeat her by publicly accusing her of saying “nutty things.” Now we know who says the nuttiest things.
