(Just between us, if you prefer to have it that way...)
Realistically, we do all agree that the 2010 and 2012 elections can be expected to take place as scheduled, don't we?
Of course, though "all men are created equal" and entitled to be free, many people do not have in fact the freedom that they are owed by right. As a result, those of us who are fortunate enough to have that freedom, to the (substantial) extent that we have it, and to live under a Constitution designed to protect that freedom, should stay alert and guard against all threats to that freedom and Constitution. Additionally, it is perfectly realistic to suspect that some liberals will willfully bend or break rules in order to win this election or the next. However, if only for practical reasons, let's try to stay within shouting distance of reality, here. The likelihood that the national Democrats will somehow prevent free elections from taking place on schedule in the near future is so minute that it should not be taken seriously.
We still need to make certain that enough of us understand what we should do once we regain power. (The fact that it is legitimately questionable whether "we" have been "in power" before should help to demonstrate the need for conservatives to confirm that we agree on our beliefs, priorities, and objectives.) Last time the people who many of us supported were in power, we quickly realized that "we," ourselves, were not in power, in any meaningful sense. They may have been unfocused or they may have actually disagreed with us, but whatever the problem was, we know that they disappointed us. We must not allow this to happen again! Let's not make the mistake of overlooking real dangers in order to fight off something fantastic and contrived.
