Battling the Establishment in the 21st Century
American Thinker ^ | 1 April 2015 | Bruce Walker

Fifty years ago, the angry brats of campus leftism waged called the cry of cultural jihad against "The Establishment." Our schools and colleges, our television networks and Hollywood, big corporations and large organizations, our churches, even our government and all other parts of organized America were the enemy of our happy future. "The Establishment" was to blame for everything. Even then, all this sounded silly to conservatives. Colleges had long been the hothouse of every form of totalitarianism, and even fifty years ago, conservative professors and students were hounded and mocked. Public schools were descending along the same predictable path. Public teachers' unions, firmly attached to the public teat, were losing competence as lazy teachers indulged the debilitating narcotic of leftist cant. Television networks, especially the news departments, marched in lockstep with every twist and turn of the leftist party line...

Most of all, we must do what the shaggy, smelly hippies of fifty years ago did: we must make the Establishment our named enemy and force the left to defend the way things are today. Everyone knows that our nation and our world are a mess. We must make it clear to all who will hear us why things are so bad.

Very true... BUT.... The Apathy is overwhelming..
Even most republicans want “somebody else” to do it..

In 2012 at the republican primarys a known democrat was actually CHOSEN to represent AND...... several very good conservatives were rejected and a few OMITTED..

Occam’s razor seems to demand we do have NOW a Congress and President “the People” WANT..
Whats not democrat is RINOated... (mostly)

So... what happens when the “PEOPLE” are generally CORRUPT?.....

I’m concerned about Obama’s “Citizen Army”.
