July 1, 2014 --

Will conservatives accept the defeat of conservative Chris McDaniel by Sen Thad Cochran, in the Mississippi primary for U.S. Senate, or will they finally say, enough is enough?

The New York Times, celebrating the Daniels defeat, called him "an intemperate Tea Party candidate who was openly nostalgic for Confederate days."

The New York Times apparently had no difficulty that Cochran's primary win was made possible by the votes of Democrats.

Conservatives would be wise to conclude that the McDaniel defeat was merely the latest battle in the left's war on conservatives, a battle won by the left with last-minute assistance from the near left Republican establishment.

The Republican Establishment's leftist smearing of McDaniel underscores the difference between them and Ronald Reagan.

President Reagan reached out to Democrats in the cause of conservatism. The Republican Establishment reached out to the left, in Mississippi, to undermine conservatism.

The following doggeral was drafted by LPR with the left in mind.

As the Mississippi primary has instructed, the near left is as eager as the left to resort to Alinskyism against conservatives to transform our country from the land of the free and the home of the brave to the land of the unfree and the home of the bullied.

The Alinsky-ization of David Brat

The premise of this Alinskyesque rhyme: polarizing attacks will succeed every time

David Brat's congressional campaign became immediately futile once we determined to attack him with methods foul and brutal

How dare he resist our aims for national transformation; guided by Alinsky we'll bury him in disinformation

Before it is through the Times in New York will make Brat an ogre more villainous than Bork

All of his writings we shall artfully explore to reveal the vicious homophobia lurking at their core

Whatever he proposes as societal cure we shall denounce as "assaults on the poor"

When he says he wants government limited and lean, we will cry out that his spirit is mean

It matters not how little to beat Cantor he spent, we will still link him to the wicked One Percent

We'll call him "a climate change denier" and "Calvinist God-truster," we'll say he spouts nonsense with all the stupidity he can muster

Is Brat an anti-Semite and racist deep down inside? We'll merely insinuate -- and let the people decide

Months before November, Brat will be destroyed, unelectable for sure -- and a professor unemployed
