Hmmm, if I were a Leftist, I might see a certain utility in promoting a caterwauling jeremiad like this in an opposition opinionmaking blog or news outlet.
Of course they did. They share the 'Rats' aversion to social conservatives, especially Southern ones -- because so many RiNOs are homosexual or other liberals themselves, educated in East Coast privlege academies to despise everyone and everything west of the Catskills or south of Mason-Dixon.
This is a major working meme of the Left. "Social conservative = drooling Southern cracker = Neo-Nazi manburner". This is their Goldstein rant, their Two Minutes' Hate that they've used for 190 years, to divide the agrarian West from the agrarian South, and place the whole country into the hands of a few score Northeastern industrialists.
That's what it's been all about since the time of John Quincy Adams.
Conservatives who don’t go to museums, conservatives who have never been to the ballet, conservatives who think that James Michener’s novels are an example of literature, conservatives whose last contact with jazz was a Tommy Dorsey record, conservatives who have little contact with major cities, conservatives whose idea of contemporary cuisine is food cooked in a crockpot, conservatives who have no interest in and take no delight in arts, letters, music -—
are suddenly complaining that a bunch of bad guys have taken total control of all the things that you showed no interest in, know nothing about, do not participate in, and despise.
And the fault for that lies where.......?
I respectfully disagree. Facts say that people who don't embrace those ideals are the ones who are emphatically the biggest losers in most measurable aspects of life. I think if the point is that traditionalists are losing the argument in favor of those ideals, I believe it is a transitory loss.
Satisfaction in life is not gained by flaunting traditional values unless failure is your goal. There are numerous and profound examples of this which trace their source straight to the loss of traditional values. That is the message thay we must continually drive home each and every day of our lives as we seek to make an impression on the poor and uneducated. Abdicating our authority to pass that message along is what got us into this position. We must be bold and humble in communicating this to our fellow human beings whoever and wherever they are.
Response: Agreed.
Comment: The left has worked hard to achieve their current dominance. Over the years the left captured control of all major institutions that influence public opinion such as: church, businesses, schools, media, and education.
Further, the left has been far more intelligent than has the conservative. Leftist propaganda has been masterful, relentless and effective.
Finally, leftists have been acting as one in achieving their goals. When a leftist theme is to be promulgated they move as a choreographed ballet.
Conservatives and Christians are on one side.
Liberals and libertarians are on the other side, we can’t win the war against the West and civilization as long as we keep counting the left’s commandos, as part of our side.
Libertarian Party Platform:
