When this is understood it is probable that popular disgust will turn to true outrage.<\/p>\n<p>So how do we take tactical advantage of the situation?<\/p>\n<p>The Republicans and those who treasure the American Republic must fight it by continuously pointing out its basic un-Americanism and relating the free market alternatives to it.\u00a0 This is a genuinely primo chance to start a national debate over the advantages of freedom and individualism over the discredited darkness of tyrannical socialistic collectivism.\u00a0 \u00a0Enlightened leaders have already begun.\u00a0 One of our Generals, Ted Cruz, made us aware of the danger and declared political war on this unworkable monstrosity, although many lesser generals and much of the RINO trained officer corps remained unconvinced.\u00a0 General Cruz and his staff were overly enthusiastic and made a frontal charge to overthrow the demon by demanding immediate repeal.\u00a0 When they failed, the \u201cmoderates\u201d of the officer corps suggested that the roll out of the demon be deferred for a year.\u00a0 Some of them were ready to capitulate completely, but wisely decided to retreat to prepared positions, the trenches of political discourse.\u00a0 Of course, mistaking tactical withdrawal for victory, the advocates of the demon refused to defer implementation, ridiculed the Cruz forces and knowingly plunged ahead with their Black Swan, which they already knew was not ready for prime time.\u00a0 We are now at the crucial point to initiate the proper tactics, guided by our campaign strategy, to do the demon in.<\/p>\n<p>How do we do it?<\/p>\n<p>We can hope that our political Generals and enlisted troops will understand the tactics and bring the campaign to a happy conclusion, as the fate of the American experiment may well rest upon their valor.<\/p>\n<p>In our next blog, \u201cThe thrill of victory and the agony of defeat,\u201d we will make some suggestions on how to proceed \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our blog \u201cStrategy\u201d we discussed how military campaigns should be conducted and how military strategy and tactics apply to politics.\u00a0 We should always attack the enemy where it hurts the most and, given that dictum, find where his most &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orderofephors.com\/?p=1976\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orderofephors.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1976"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orderofephors.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orderofephors.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orderofephors.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orderofephors.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1976"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.orderofephors.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1976\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1980,"href":"https:\/\/www.orderofephors.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1976\/revisions\/1980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orderofephors.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orderofephors.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orderofephors.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
