Normals get to use the remains of OPFOR as mulch?

Easy.

When I have the better argument I win.

We have seen this time after time in the comments section of NYT, WaPo and of course, The Hill.

EVERY TIME my argumentation and facts are superior, the lefties acknowledge it and withdraw.

(Do I REALLY need the /SARC tag????)

If all believing Christians would simply turn off their TVs, social media, fake news, and stop going to movies for 6 months you would see a huge difference in the culture.

As long as Christians live like the world does the world will pay no attention and keep on doing what it is doing.

I was dismayed the other days to hear supposed Christians talking about Game of Thrones and the “ending.” What the hell are Christians doing watching something like Game of Thrones?

IMHO, so called “culture wars” are a waste of time. I’m not gonna change my opinion and neither are they.

The FReeper responses to leftist and RINO articles posted here are a perfect illustration of my point. Lots of hubbub, little affect.

It means defeating covert anti-Americanism.

Best example of navel-pondering I’ve seen all day.

There’s an actual war going on underneath.

To crush [them], to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

That’s a good point. There is a much large war of good and evil going on in the spiritual realm, we are only seeing the surface ripples.

In terms of the so called ‘Culture War’ the Right is far too reactive both philosophically and in action.

Philosophically, the Right needs to move beyond the Leftist created dichotomy that left=change and right=no change and offer a positive affirmative vision beyond simply holding out as long as possible while their opponents chip away.

In Action, the right needs to get off their butt and do something besides simply reacting to everything the left does. The left understands this is a total war and are waging it in culture in the classroom and across all institutions. The right on the other hand fights the war through politics and explicitly political processes, ie protesting. The Leftists know that they don’t need to always call attention to what they are doing. Leftwing philosophy is fed subtly to your family through the Disney movie you go watch and the HR policies at your work. You think just the ballot box will counter that.

Right. And what you said earlier about Christians turning off the television, fake news and asocial media is totally true.

When the deep state is dead, Islam will be harmless.

For example, educate Americans about Project Paperclip and its effects on culture.
