On a good day, FR can rally itself to beat the band, and pump up so much patriotic cheer, it makes your heart sing. There’s power in consciously adopting a victor’s mindset. When a group of people do it simultaneously, there’s a sort of spirit interchange that occurs, which acts as an intensifying multiplier. The haka war dance of the Maoris is an example that effect. A large crowd reciting the Pledge of Allegiance can do the same thing.
I guess the point I’m making, is that we conservatives don’t spend enough time tapping into our fighting spirit. Instead, we allow weak minded, frightened people to set the tone for the group, and the demoralization goes viral. I’ve watched that contagion happening here for years.
Many people don’t seem to realize that, if you think you’re beaten, you most certainly are. On the other hand, just knotting your brow and saying, “Hell No!”, has incredible power — especially when a group of determined people are doing it together.
Alrighty. Rant off - two cents in.
