Well, dear FRiend, please don't be an elephant.
Do you know how you train an elephant?
When it is a baby, you attach a THICK ship anchor-chain around its leg. It tests it, and tests it, and finally figures out it cannot ever escape when the chain is on.
Then, when it is an adult, you put a tiny, dainty decorative gold chain -- something so light, a child could snap it -- around the same leg, and you can lead it all around the circus stage. It looks down, sees the chain, and says to its self: "Welp. There's the chain. No escaping THAT. Guess I'll just obey."
If you allow yourself to be chained by preconceptions, then the battle is lost before the rifle is even loaded.
Is the success rate in turning liberals a high one? No, of course not. But let us not lose the battle by never trying at all. Remember, Rush has changed many.
“Remember, Rush has changed many.”
Yeah, to what result? We still have a growing population of liberals, not a decreasing one. While you are working the chians the liberals are paying people off. Money means far more than words and they are spending like crazy.
Rush has solidified the conservative base. Over the years he was the one to educate people how to think, where to get information, and what was happening around them. For that, we have a strong conservative base that knows more than ever.
Rush did convert many liberals, but, again, the left has created many more. A finger in the dike example comes to mind.
