We have some brilliant people on the Conservative side and here at Free Republic. Absolutely brilliant.
With one vote, each.
Brilliance is too much for the average American voter.
Information needs to be presented to the audience, the average American voter, in a way that he/she can understand.
We are on the right side and we have the best answers.
But all the average American voter hears from the Conservative side is, “Hmmmm....hmmmmm....hmmm.”
From the Liberal side they hear, “We’ll give you stuff.”
The problem is cultural and generational.
Example; when I was 16 (1958) I was laid of from a part time after school job. I was laying around in the house when my brother came home. He was 26 and recently divorced so back home until he found another apartment to live in, smaller than before.
He asked why I was home, I told him, he asked why I wasn’t looking for another job, I said I thought I would take it easy for a few weeks and collect unemployment. He said only bums took money for doing nothing and said if he came home tomorrow and found me in the house he would kick my ass.
I got another in about a week, no ass kicking.
