I think we’ve passed the tipping point, Ms. Bila, and our only hope is to let it burn.
I’m certainly not preaching to the choir here in Beijing. Why do some Americans have to be so American-centric? As if anything outside of America that doesn’t somehow relate to America is meaningless. I’m a US citizen and we conservatives should play a global role and not limit ourselves to US boundaries.
“I think we’ve passed the tipping point, Ms. Bila, and our only hope is to let it burn.”
Why is that?
Because the right had become a lazy ideology of wimps, that relied on rich spokespeople (Beck, Limbaugh, Coulter...) to do all of the dirty work in the media, and took comfort in buying a bunch of guns with the idea that if it all went bad they can just shoot everything in some poorly imagined repeat of the Revolution. Never mind all of the actual work that is needed to sell our ideas on the street. Let Mark Levin do it!
All the while the left actually engaged people in every medium they could find, and if they screwed up, they just took the same ideas and repackaged them with new language.
While we regurgitate quotes from Madison (sounding more like parrots), they took communism and called it “economic justice” and made a bunch of kids think it was cool! They flood Facebook, Twitter, and other sites with those causes. The right sits and acts like those mediums are juts fads for slacker kids. We have something better! A 60-something talk show hosts whose show is on in the middle of the day. That’ll work...
And guess what the result was? Not a surprise to some of us.
Exactly, when the game is rigged, don’t play the game. What do you do when you can’t fix your car? You get a new one. Same with gov’t. Starve the beast, go Galt, and prep. Socialism always fails, always. The system will collapse under it’s own weight. God, family, country, is the winning strategy.
And you and your family will burn along with it.
That's not an acceptable option for me.
